Beck Center Diversity Celebration 2025 includes:
The Superhero Project visual arts exhibition
Plexus Panel Discussion, Feb 12, 2025
Razzle Dazzle visual arts exhibition
The Superhero Project is a free visual arts exhibition, open to the public, great for all ages, including young children, in Beck Center’s Hoffman-Stach main gallery, on display January through February 2025.
To learn more about The Superhero Project, and see a preview, please visit www.shpkids.org. Dive into the world created by these powerful visual artists at www.superheroprojectkids.org/artists.
The Superhero Project’s goals align closely with Beck Center’s. Beck Center welcomes and engages every individual who shares the goal of enhancing the human spirit through arts experiences. Beck Center believes in the transforming and transcending power of the arts, the strength of collaboration, an inclusive and safe environment, and diversity as an essential component in all Beck Center does. Beck Center is committed to continuous learning for deeper understanding of equity and inclusion, using this understanding to create an environment that connects all people, communities, and cultures through the arts.
Using the power of art as a tool for healing, the Superhero Project empowers youth impacted by serious illnesses, disabilities, community trauma, and other complex mental health or medical needs. Kids are interviewed about who they are beyond their diagnosis. Professional illustrators create a poster of this superhero alter-ego, as described by the children. These images are visual representations of their strength, courage, creativity, and resilience. Families receive inspiring posters of their superheroes to treasure forever.

WOMEN OF CREATIVITY
Beck Center holds exhibitions that feature local, regional, and international artists throughout the year. As a way to share these works and tell the artists' stories, we will present a series of online exhibits for select shows. The first in this series is Women of Creativity: Four Artists, Four Perspectives. You'll meet friends and colleagues from American Greetings Lisa Atens, Jennifer Fitchwell, Terry Flores, and Val Lesiak, who showed their varied works in our Jean Bulicek Galleria.
We hope you enoy learning about these four talented artists as much as we did producing this piece - and we look forward to sharing the next virtual exhibit!
