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,

Shannon Morris

Potluck Critiques are back!

Please join us for our ARTFUL “Potluck Critique”! 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.

Please bring your work for feedback (and a dish to share if you would like). Any and all media is welcome, and can be finished pieces or works in progress.

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.

Not ready to bring your own work? Just show up and offer constructive insights.

We will be holding these informal critiques on the SECOND SUNDAYS of January, April, July & October from 4-7(ish) pm.

**PLEASE NOTE** We are now located in our own building at 2555 Euclid Hts. Blvd., Cleveland Hts., OH 4106. Please park in the side lot (Northwest side of the building) and enter through the main doors at the top of the circular driveway.

Due to capacity limits, registration is required.

ARTFUL has a new home!!

We’re absolutely thrilled to share some incredible news with you—ARTFUL is now the proud owner of the former St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in Cleveland Heights!

This architecturally distinctive building, nestled between the Coventry and Cedar Fairmount districts, is officially ours—and will serve as ARTFUL’s permanent home for years to come. Over the next several weeks, we’ll begin moving in and thoughtfully transforming the space into a welcoming, dynamic center for artists to work, connect, and thrive.

Be sure to sign up for our emails and follow us on social media for the latest developments.
