The Heights Arts Holiday Store is back for an 11th year, and executive director Peggy Spaeth believes 2012 marks the best edition yet to hit the organization's Lee Road gallery.

Series features Cleveland Orchestra musicians playing in unique, intimate settings
Attending a concert by the Cleveland Orchestra is always a notable event. But when some of those exceptional musicians play music of their own selection in a more intimate and casual environment, the experience can be engaging in an entirely different way. This is what attendees to the Heights Arts’ chamber music concert series have discovered in past years. And the group’s new four-concert series, its sixth season, is slated to begin this Sunday, Oct. 2, with a performance titled “Welcome Bach Tudor Arms” in the Crystal Room of the recently renovated Doubletree Tudor Arms Hotel on Carnegie. Peggy Spaeth, executive director of Heights Arts, notes that these chamber music concerts have a unique twist. “The artistic director of the series, …

Newest exhibit highlights photographer contact sheets
Heights Arts is hosting an opening reception from 6 to 9 tonight for its newest exhibit, Found Contacts: Overlooked selections from 20th century American photographic studios, which was organized by Lisa Kurzner. The show runs through Oct. 22 and features contact sheets, which photographers use to preview a series of shots before developing an image. “The contact sheet — now on the verge of extinction — captures the working life and thought processes of photographers by mapping out the sequence of shots on roll film in the studio or on the street,” wrote Heights Arts in a press release. “Choice, timing and bracketing are terms identified with proof sheets that record the unfolding relationships between the photographer and his subject.” …
