Father-Daughter Tandem Bringing Unique Art Show To Beck Center

LAKEWOOD, OH — A father-daughter combo is bringing their art to the Beck Center in Lakewood this month.

Ryan and Keira Finley will be the focus of an upcoming exhibit, called "Side by Side." The visual artists are Cleveland-based and will have their artwork featured in the Bulicek Gallery at the Beck.

"Beck Center is such an incredible place to be part of! It is so great to help guide the young artists of tomorrow. Along with teaching at Beck Center I have had the privilege of working for Topps and Upper Deck on some of my favorites like Star Wars, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT), Aliens, Predator, Stranger Things, and Marvel. I am thrilled to have my work on display at Beck Center, especially alongside my talented daughter," Ryan said.

He added that his daughter is "far beyond his skills at her age." He said the time they spend together creating art is "priceless."

“I really love drawing and hanging out with my Dad! I also love being my Dad’s student and taking his classes. I am very excited about my first art show!" Keira said.

The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular business hours, performances and classes. The gallery is located just outside of Senney Theater in the main building at 17801 Detroit Ave.

There will be a free opening reception on Saturday, from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Guests should expect plenty of people to be in attendance, with Baldwin Wallace also producing "LIZZIE the Musical" during the opening.

Prints of various items from the Finleys will be available for purchase at Customer Service at BEck Center. There is also free onsite parking.
