LHS Art Department Finds Sweet Spot

Some the Lakewood High Art 4 students' chalk prints on display at The Sweet Spot.

Owners of the Lakewood gelato shop The Sweet Spot are partnering with Lakewood High School to help showcase local art by displaying LHS students' artwork in their store at 17806 Detroit Ave. for the month of October. The shop will also being holding a fundraiser to benefit the Lakewood High Art Department.

The Sweet Spot will  host a silent auction for each piece with 100% of the profits to be donated directly back to the Art Department.

“The Sweet Spot is a family owned business, and shopping local and supporting our local community is so important to us and what we stand for,” said Celeste Blau, co-owner of The Sweet Spot. “We constantly support local artists by showcasing their work on our walls, much of which is for sale. We thought, what better way to give back directly to our community then to support the students in our own community?” continued Blau.

“The arts make a big difference in our students lives,” said LHS art teacher Amy Sedlak. “This is a great opportunity for our students to express themselves, see something they’ve worked hard on receive recognition, and support our school system. We are very fortunate to be a part of this event. We couldn’t have done it without the support of The Sweet Spot.”

Blau said she hopes this becomes a regular feature of the store and hopes to display some LHS photography in the spring.
