The Heights Arts 12th annual Holiday Store opens on Nov. 1, and will operate seven days a week through Sunday, Dec. 29. The store will feature the work of more than 70 regional artists.

It all began as a small pop-up gallery in a borrowed space on Lee Road in Cleveland Heights. The organization’s first Holiday Store opened in 2002 and launched the bricks-and-mortar gallery that now showcases, year-round, the work of artists who live and create here in Greater Cleveland. 

The Heights Arts Holiday Store is a festive exhibition featuring a wide range of artworks at affordable prices, including ceramics, jewelry, handmade scarves and bags, paintings, drawings, glass and photographs. Tapping into the community’s creative assets, the Holiday Store shines a light on the high concentration of talent in the region. Shoppers can find a unique gift, knowing that every dollar spent stays right here in the community, helping to support artists and Heights Arts programs.

Heights Arts is located at 2175 Lee Road. The Holiday Store opens on Nov. 1 with a members-only preview from 6–7 p.m., followed by a public reception from 7–9:30 p.m. Many of the participating artists will be available to talk about their work.
