We must vacate our space by Jan. 31st…
As many of you know, our landlord, the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Library, has notified us and the other eight original Coventry P.E.A.C.E. tenants that we must vacate the building no later than January 31, 2025. Although this news is heartbreaking, we remain focused on the future and are working diligently to find a new home for ARTFUL. We have some promising leads but nothing definitive to share yet. We’ll keep you updated as soon as there is more to report.
Moving 27 studios and supporting 30+ artists is no small feat, and it comes with significant costs. In the coming weeks, we will begin preparing for this transition, including:
- An Online Auction: We’ll sell items we no longer need to help fund our move and the build-out of a new space.
- Volunteer Days: We’ll need help disassembling walls, packing, and transporting items to a new location.
We’ll share more details soon about how you can get involved and support us during this challenging time.
In the meantime, we want to focus on the incredible events we still have planned – and invite you to join us for some ARTFUL magic before we say goodbye to the P.E.A.C.E. Building.
ARTFUL is so excited to share that our Executive Director, Shannon Morris, is this year’s recipient of The Cleveland Arts Prize Robert P. Bergman Prize!! This is an incredible honor and now brings ARTFUL’s total to 3 Cleveland Arts Prize winners. Congratulations Shannon – we are all SO very proud of you and the work you do on a daily basis on behalf of the artists we serve.
A reflection on ARTFUL’s journey at the P.E.A.C.E. Building and the mission we will continue to uphold wherever we go.
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.
