Heights Arts has announced plans to introduce significant new public art installations in Cleveland Heights’ Cedar Lee and Coventry commercial districts by the end of 2026. The initiative, made possible by approximately $250,000 in ARPA funds from the City of Cleveland Heights, aims to revitalize these business areas following challenges from the COVID pandemic.
The project involves a collaboration with LAND Studio and will feature multiple murals by local artists in the Cedar Lee district, celebrating its identity as a hub for visual arts, film, theater, dining, and retail. In the Coventry district, new art will include an installation at the north end of the commercial area and a performance shell in Pekar Park at the south end, designed to enhance street life and serve as gateways to the district.
Community input is a key component of the project, with a Call for Artists for the Cedar Lee murals set to be released on October 31, 2025. An information session for interested artists is scheduled for November 12th at the Lee Road Library. This initiative builds upon Heights Arts’ extensive history of public art projects and aims to further solidify Cleveland Heights’ reputation as “Home to the Arts.”
