Beck Center for the Arts in Lakewood, Ohio, is hosting Art Treasures 2025, an annual holiday exhibition and pop-up shop featuring handmade goods by local Northeast Ohio artists. Open through December 27 in the Hoffman-Stach Gallery, the show includes paintings, jewelry, photography, wood sculpture, comics, and more. Participating artists include Debbie Clapper, Patsy Coffey Kline, Rita Elswick, Ryan Finley, Mark Gifford, Tanya Long, Mary Pat Oliver, T.J. Rovito, and Patricia Sigmier. A free public reception is scheduled for December 5.
The event matters because it directly supports the local arts community: 30% of sales proceeds go to Beck Center, and it provides a platform for regional visual artists to sell original work during the holiday season. It also highlights the center's role as a community hub for arts education and local creative talent, blending holiday commerce with genuine artistic expression.
