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.

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. This exhibition will be on view at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery through February 3, 2024. | | | | | | | | | Terry Winters is a contemporary American painter and printmaker who is represented in depth in the Belger Collection. 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. The exhibition runs through January 6, 2024, at the Belger Arts Center.
