A community effort, intent on creating ARTFUL space on the East side of Cleveland.
Help ARTFUL Begin a Bold New Chapter
Imagine a place where creativity knows no bounds — where artists come together to inspire, create, and transform. This is ARTFUL, a hub of artistic expression and community connection. And today, we are thrilled to share transformative news: ARTFUL has purchased an 18,000-square-foot building with amazing potential at 2555 Euclid Heights Blvd. in Cleveland Heights — perfectly situated midway between the Coventry and Cedar-Fairmount commercial districts!
Now, as we settle into our permanent home, your support is more crucial than ever. We have already completed 20 artist studios as well as the ceramics studio. Together, we can continue to transform this beautiful space into a vibrant center for creativity, collaboration, and community. Located in a residential area on the border of Cleveland proper, our new home naturally fosters diversity and inclusion and we are committed more than ever to amplify underrepresented voices – especially at a time when all perspectives are vital.
Your gift today will help us:
- Transform our new home into a thriving creative hub. With your help, we can refresh this unique bit of architecture and create a welcoming space for artists and community members alike.
- Repair and improve the exterior of the building. Our home is structurally sound but the exterior needs some attention.
- Sustain artists and vital programs. We will continue to offer workshops, exhibits, and events that unite our community through art, music, and shared inspiration — and expand these opportunities as our new space evolves.
Imagine the future we can build together — a future where ARTFUL continues to host events like the Art of Community, P.E.A.C.E. Pops, Lantern Festival, Juneteenth Exhibit, and Art for the Masses, celebrating creativity, culture, and connection.
With your support, ARTFUL will continue to be a place where artists thrive and communities grow stronger through art. Your generosity will serve as a catalyst, helping us complete the transformation and ensuring that ARTFUL remains a nurturing, inclusive haven for years to come. Every dollar you give brings us closer to making this vision a reality.
Please join us in supporting this exciting new chapter for ARTFUL. Your donation today will make a lasting difference — helping us build a home where creativity and community can flourish together.
With heartfelt gratitude,
