The exhibition includes the work of Mona Cliff, Wansoo Kim, Hùng Lê, Jada Patterson, Jason Wang, and Aleah Washington. Throughout time craft practices have been passed from generation to generation, keeping traditions alive, preserving culture and history, while building communities through the making process. The six artists in the exhibition use craft traditions to carry on generational practices while unearthing aspects of their own histories, within a broader historical and artistic context. Stay tuned to our website for more information. This exhibition will be on view from October 6 through February 3, 2024. | | | Belger Glass Annex's very own Jessalyn Mailoa is the October Mug of the Month artist. Mailoa is a glass artist and graphic designer from Indonesia. Glass is a vehicle for her to explore the narrative that occupies the space between her identity and surroundings. This collection of glassware combines glassblowing and kilnworking techniques to create contrasting elements that engage with the senses of sight and touch. Mailoa's mugs will be available for purchase online beginning Sunday, October 1 at 10am. You can also purchase them at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery during regular business hours beginning Tuesday, October 3 through October 31, 2023.
Only a few mugs by September Mug of the Month artist Andrew Linderman are still available. Purchase one (or more) today!
Purchase a Mug of the Month even if you don't have a subscription! This means you can buy a mug by an artist you love when they become available. However, having a monthly subscription reserves your spot to receive a new mug every month before they’re made available to the public. | | | On View at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery | | Matthew Mitros, Flower no.009, 2022, ceramic, resin, plexi, aluminum,18 x 9 x 9 in.

A native New Yorker, Winters graduated from Pratt Institute in 1971, focusing on painting. Through the 1970s, while studying nature, especially molecular level life forms, Winters honed his craft as a drawer and a painter until he was ready for his inaugural exhibition in 1982 at the prestigious Sonnabend Gallery. Later that same year he began his first foray into printmaking at Universal Limited Art Editions on Long Island. Winters became one of the leading printmakers in the United States. Over the years, Winters paintings, drawings, and prints have been featured in major retrospectives at the Boston Museum of Fine Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Irish Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
