As a small organization, we could not accomplish over 60 programs a year without our board’s leadership, our event, store and Community Teams volunteer time and expertise, and our staff’s dedication and creativity.

Heights Arts provided opportunities for gaining exhibitions and retail experience through our Store and Exhibition Internship. Each year, we hire two recent college graduates who serve on our Exhibitions community team and staff our store and Holiday Store.
We also partner with Cleveland Heights High School to provide a two-year, deep learning experience for a high school Junio and Senior each year. Each student serves as a full participating member of our Exhibition Community Team to select artist, curate, install and de-install each of our exhibitions. They also develop a theme and curate a student exhibition in June feturing up to 30 of their peers at Heights High.
