Beck Center To Host Comic Book Day In May

LAKEWOOD, OH — The Beck Center for the Arts will hosts Comic Book Day 2022 on May 7, giving attendees access to free workshops, a free comic book and other activities.

Comic Book Day will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Beck Center said in a news release. The event is free and open to the public.

While all workshops that day are free, registration is required for those 6-10 and registration is also required for the session with Samantha Reveley, illustrator of new children's book "The Curse of Captain Cole: A Sydney Shorts Adventure."

“Comic Book Day is a fun-filled day at Beck Center to celebrate professional comic artists, the creation process, and provide inspiration for the next generation. Our cartooning students and faculty work hard each year to craft our annual Beck Comic Book issue, which we can't wait to hand out and brighten the faces of those that attend our event!" said Jessica McGrath, Beck Center assistant director of education.

Cleveland-based freelance artist Ryan Finley will also be on-hand for demonstrations during Comic Book Day. Ryan and his daughter Keira recently presented their work in the Bulicek Gallery at Beck Center.
