P.E.A.C.E. eludes our landlord…
As many of you know, the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library (the owner of the P.E.A.C.E. Building) has made the decision to close and mothball the Coventry P.E.A.C.E. Building—a place that has been home to so much creativity, learning, and community-building. This decision comes despite our ongoing efforts to engage with the Library and both cities of Cleveland Heights and University Heights to seek a solution that would benefit all stakeholders.
For months, in the spirit of cooperation, our organization kept many of our frustrations to ourselves. We believed that a positive, collaborative path could be found. ARTFUL, along with other tenants, has worked tirelessly to be a constructive partner, and we have stayed relatively quiet in hopes of achieving a fair outcome for everyone. However, recent events have left us deeply disheartened.
Here’s a look back at Art for the Masses 2023!
THE ARTFUL POTLUCK CRITIQUES ARE BACK!!
No... it's not a critique of the potluck itself, but it is a fun critique that includes a potluck meal... open to the public and all skill levels.
ALL skill levels are encouraged to participate. Gentle guidance will be provided by some of the ARTFUL Board members. Get feedback, learn about new techniques, approaches, perspectives and offer suggestions.
Mission.
Establish and nurture affordable space that supports and educates artists in their mission to create, sell and display their art while making creativity and inspiration more accessible to the community at large.
24 art studios.
ARTFUL has 24 studio spaces that are available for rent to local artists. We are one of the only multi-tenant art spaces in greater Cleveland that is handicap-accessible, and our walls are constructed of a special antimicrobial material.
Large flex space.
In addition to our private studios, ARTFUL also features a large open work space. This space is available for our artists, classes and community gatherings. It can also be utilized by our artists for collaborations and large projects.
Classes and workshops.
Many ARTFUL artists teach small and private classes in their studios, while outside artist often make use of our Flex Space for teaching classes. Subjects include ceramics, home school art classes, painting and more!
We are located inthe
Coventry P.E.A.C.E. Building.
2843 Washington Blvd.
Cleveland Heights, OH. 44118
The Coventry P.E.A.C.E. Building is the former Coventry Elementary School, and is now home to multiple local nonprofits. We work hand-in-hand with these organizations on programming and special events. Many of our artists have either partnered, or utilized their services. P.E.A.C.E. stands for “People Enhancing A Community’s Environment”. Together with our neighbors in the building, we offer wonderful opportunities for our artists and local community members to continue to create, show, learn and grow.
