BAY VILLAGE, Ohio -- BAYarts is not just a place where art meets beauty; it is a vibrant community anchor, fostering creativity across all ages. Established on the foundation laid by a visionary group of women in 1948, BAYarts has grown into a cornerstone of arts education and cultural engagement in Cleveland’s western suburbs. Now, BAYarts is embarking on a new project that promises to blend artistic expression with the tranquility of nature through the creation of a sensory garden.
This garden is designed to be a nurturing retreat for the senses and the spirit, providing a safe, sensory-friendly environment where visitors can enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of nature interwoven with the arts. BAYarts is embarking on a new project that promises to blend artistic expression with the tranquility of nature through the creation of a sensory garden. The initiative will take a significant step forward with the hosting of “A Night in Bloom” June 15, an evening dedicated to raising funds for the garden.
The event, set against the picturesque backdrop of the Sullivan Family Gallery at 28795 Lake Road, will offer a blend of fine dining, live entertainment and the thrill of casino games. Nancy Heaton, director of BAYarts, highlights the collaboration with Ground Works Land Design to make the sensory garden a reality. The garden will not only be a place of beauty, but will also serve as a dynamic classroom for art instruction and inclusive programming.
