Why Give to Beck Center for the Arts?
At Beck Center for the Arts, we have been transforming lives for over 90 years through the magic of live theater, arts education for all ages and abilities, and free community programming. As a non-profit organization dedicated to both professional theater and arts education, we enrich the lives of over 60,000 people annually across Northeastern Ohio. Through the strength of collaboration and our dynamic programs in Creative Arts Therapies, dance, music, theater, and visual arts, we touch the hearts and minds of individuals and communities in Cuyahoga, Lorain, Lake, Medina, and Summit Counties.
Crain's Cleveland Business has recognized Beck Center as the 11th largest cultural attraction in Cuyahoga County, a testament to the vital role we play in the cultural landscape of our region.

Level Up Your Donation!
Beck Center for the Arts is a home for creativity, learning, and community. Homes should be welcoming to everyone. To ensure that every patron, student, and artist can access every floor of our historic building, we need a new elevator.
Our goal: $200,000
Your gift will help us rise together, making sure that all of Beck Center’s programs and performances are accessible to everyone.
Let’s make sure the arts truly lift us all up.
