Current Exhibitions

Happy Place in the acorn gallery

Lakewood Arts invites artists to participate in Happy Place, an exhibition celebrating the places, memories, and experiences that bring us joy, comfort, and connection. Artists are encouraged to create artwork inspired by a special place that holds personal meaning. Whether it is a childhood home, a favorite vacation destination, a beloved landscape, a neighborhood gathering spot, a family tradition, or a place that exists only in memory, Happy Place explores the emotional connection between people and the places they cherish. This exhibition invites artists to share stories of fond memories, meaningful experiences, and sentimental locations that continue to bring happiness and inspiration.
