Lakewood Center For The Arts

Our Mission: Inspire and nurture a love of theatre and the arts.

Our goals include the establishment and maintenance of a permanent multi-arts and theatre facility, as well as sponsorship and coordination of education and cultural programming in visual arts, theatre and community events.

Arts organizations are facing historic challenges. We're lucky to have a great community supporting Lakewood's goals to inspire and nurture a love of the arts, but we would love your support.
Because we're in a 100 year old school, many people who are new to the area think we're an elementary school. But you know we're so much more! Lakewood is a theatre, we offer adult classes, meeting space, and an art gallery, to name just a few of the activities within our walls.

Help spread the word that we are all Lakewood by wearing one of the new items in our store! They also make great gifts and stocking stuffers!
