On View at the

Belger Arts Center

Whispers and Screams: Voices from the Belger Collection at the Belger Arts Center (2100 Walnut St., KCMO) includes work by artists who explore memories and moments in time. Some of those memories are loud and jarring, while others are more reflective and have softened with the passage of time. There are examples of stereotypes, idealized love, lust, romance, excitement, loss, and regret. These works are glimpses into the complexity of communities at all levels, highlighting both their commonalities and differences.

The exhibition is on view through January 4, 2025. To schedule a tour for this or any Belger Arts exhibition please email gallery@belgerarts.org or call 816-474-7316.
