ART EXHIBITIONS
AT THE LAKEWOOD CULTURAL & CIVIC CENTERS The turning of the calendar from year to year marks a changing of time and a chance to begin fresh, to start again with renewed energy. In 2022, the Lakewood Cultural Center’s exhibition schedule charges forward with a burst of rekindled vitality, welcoming back community partners for valuable and well-loved group shows as well as presenting carefully curated and thoughtful exhibitions, which reflect on our experience over the last two years and look forward to the potential of tomorrow. Exhibitions in the North and Richey galleries, running from January through the end of March, bring together artists and opportunities to literally and figuratively reflect on the past and the present. “Reflections,” a group exhibition in the North Gallery, assembles sculptural work by artists who employ the mirror as material, either as a tool for reflecting light, self-reflection, or to place the viewer within the work through a mirrored image of the environment. The works are cumulatively playful and serious and offer an opportunity to reflect on our place in the world. Howard Crosslen, "Sketchbook Self Portrait."
Howard Crosslen, a local artist with a nuanced ability to capture quiet and contemplative moments in paint, presents his solo exhibition, “Through Shadow and Light: A Story of Moments in Time.” This show shares the artist’s personal histories through intimate portraits, paintings of his dog, the light as it bounces off the walls in his house, and sketchbooks replete with the musings of an artist who sees the world though paint, pen and brush.
