Annual Resident Artist Exhibition Opens June 7 | | Belger Crane Yard Gallery presents Passing Moments: Belger Arts’ Eleventh Annual Resident Exhibition opening Friday, June 7, 2024, at 2011 Tracy Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64108. The public is invited to an opening night reception from 6 to 8 pm, where the participating artists will give remarks at 6:30 pm.
The exhibition includes work by Joel Pisowicz, Gina Pisto, and Logan Reynolds and is the culmination of their artist residencies at the Belger Crane Yard Studios. The past year has been one of growth and change for the artists and the exhibition is a reflection of the “passing moments” experienced during this pivotal time in their careers. Passing Moments explores nostalgia, memorial, and how objects present a view into the past. | | | “Blown Away” Artist Minhi England - June Events | | Minhi England, a Seattle-based glass artist and season 3 finalist on the Netflix television series “Blown Away,” comes to Belger in a few weeks!

| | | | | We are accepting artwork submissions through June 8 for our goblet-themed exhibition opening at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery (2011 Tracy Ave., KCMO) this July.
This exhibition is open to contemporary, traditional, and personal interpretations of what a goblet is and what a goblet represents. Whether it is the most pristine representation of the form, or the most out-of-the-box design, artists are invited to bring their personal styles to the table.
Purchase Awards totaling up to $2,500 will be offered. | | | Digital Debut: Sarah Veak | | For Digital Debut, Sarah Veak leans into her artistic origins, with clean lines and bold swaths of color that speak to her earliest work and some of her earliest memories. She wanted to create that feeling of nostalgia from her childhood--the checkered tablecloth in her grandmother's kitchen, air thick with the sweet nuttiness of pancakes and syrup, the scent of rich coffee, tree ripe orange juice and mouthwatering bacon.
Only a few of Veak's works are left! Purchase online or at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery through May 31, 2024. | |
