Beck Center for the Arts will display artwork by local artists. The Portrait Show is a free visual arts exhibition on view in Beck Center's main building now until February 26, 2024. Beck Center will host a FREE artists' reception on Friday, February 23, 2024 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Daniels Lounge.

The Portrait Show includes dozens of expressive portraits in painting, drawing and sculpture by Justin Brennan, Dan Corrigan, Adrian Eisenhower, Bernadette Glorioso, Kurt Hallsman, Billy Ritter, and Bob Walls.

Melinda Placko, curator of The Portrait Show and Associate Director of Music and Visual Arts, shared, “This exhibition offers work by seven contemporary Cleveland artists. Some are self-taught, others classically trained. All are fearlessly expressive in their chosen medium, including soft graphite, drippy paint, wood-fired ceramic, patterned fabrics, layered collage, glitter and Lake Erie sand."  

This exhibition is free, open to the public, and appropriate for all ages. To view The Portrait Show, please visit Beck Center's Hoffman-Stach Gallery on the first floor of the main building on the campus in Lakewood. Sales are arranged through Customer Service in person, or at 216.521.2540. For more information on this exhibition please visit beckcenter.org.
