The Highlands, a senior living community in Decorah, has opened a new on-site art gallery. Its inaugural exhibition features acrylic paintings by tri-state area artist Corey Cleven, with all artwork available for purchase. A portion of each sale will be donated to The Highlands Foundation to support resident programs and services.
The gallery launch represents a local initiative to integrate art into community life, providing a platform for regional artists and generating philanthropic support. It highlights a growing trend of non-traditional venues, like senior living facilities, becoming active participants in the local arts ecosystem by fostering creativity, commerce, and community engagement simultaneously.
