Located in Lakewood, the Beck Center for the Arts is a place where Northeastern Ohioans can go to enjoy both the visual and performing arts. The Center has a professional theater that produces on two different stages, a youth theater, and a gallery featuring the work of regional artists. Arts education opportunities abound at the Beck Center, where there are classes available for all ages and a Creative Arts Therapies department that uses the arts to help people with special needs. Day camps, available each summer for children ages 5-18, get kids involved in art, theater, dance, and music activities.
