Nickie Antonio, Lakewood Councilperson-at Large, hosted another Community Art Forum on November 15th at the Beck Center's Armory to discuss ideas for artists and art enthusiasts to collaborate to make Lakewood the next Art Mecca. Attendees included Fred Unger, President of the Beck Center's Board of Directors, Dr. David Estrop, Lakewood City Schools Superintendent, Kevin Butler, Lakewood Councilperson, and a host of teachers, artists and art lovers all got the opportunity to express their vision for an Art centered Lakewood. Some ideas expressed included collaboration between schools and the Beck Center, ideas for the "old" Westwood Theater, future Art and Communication curriculum for Lakewood High, plans to create an Art District and much more.
Ms. Antonio will continue to host future forums. Please check her City Council web page in the next couple of weeks for additional information and I will keep you posted as I learn of future forums and insights.
