Fencepiration lifts spirits

To the Editor:

Driving on Cedar Road near Warrensville, we notice the progress being made in turning a utilitarian steel fence into a piece of public art. It brings a note of peace and hope to our community. This program, sponsored by Heights Arts in collaboration with the Heights Youth Club and the Artsworks program of Young Audiences of Cleveland, has given young people of the area a positive and creative outlet. 

Congratulations to Andrea Joki, program director of Heights Arts; artists Debbie Apple-Presser and Carol Hummel; Whole Foods, which provided food and a place to cool off; and artists of all ages. Fencepiration has given us a real lift to our spirits!
