Lakewood Arts Council is a non-profit arts organization. We are fortunate to receive some SCFD funding, and have received several small grants from local businesses. While we thank our benefactors immensely, we mostly exist because of our members and their generous support and volunteerism.
The Lakewood Arts Council Community Center and Gallery is nestled in a mall at 85 S Union between
Kobe An Japanese Restaurant and my favorite
French Press. It is a two-story handicapped accessible gallery with the co-op artist gallery and classroom on the first floor. The second story is called The Loft and is the scene of rotating art exhibits every 4-6 weeks.
Currently, The Loft is being rented for the Kipling Camera Club Photography Exhibit. It's a wonderful exhibit with some really great prices on the photography.
The co-op space has just been rehung as most of our artists (somewhere around 27) changed out their work on Saturday July 11th. Thanks to our Artistic Director, Kathy Berls, everything was hung beautifully this morning.
Our gallery offers a great selection of affordable, quality art in all media..watercolor, oil, acrylic, colored pencil, pastel, photography,digital, fiber art, pottery, glass, jewelry, art cards ....hmmm, have I forgotten anything??
Please think of us when you are looking for that special gift!
