Resident Artist Spotlight:

Logan Reynolds

Logan Reynolds (right) conversing about his work in Passing Moments with opening night attendees.

Logan Reynolds is originally from Colorado and received his BFA from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2017. He was a Project Network resident at Guldagergaard International Ceramic Research Center in Skælskør, Denmark in 2018 and has participated in many group shows across the U.S. He completed his MFA in Ceramics from Ohio University in 2023 prior to moving to Kansas City, MO where he is currently a Foundation Resident at Belger Crane Yard Studios. Reynolds describes the content of his work as “observational and semi-autobiographical [drawing] from popular culture and media streams in search of a more universal pulse.”

Work by Reynolds and fellow resident artists Joel Pisowicz, and Gina Pisto is featured in Passing Moments: Belger Arts’ Eleventh Annual Resident Exhibition at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery. The exhibition is a culmination of their artist residencies at the Belger Crane Yard Studios.

Passing Moments was recently written about by KCUR reporter Xiao daCunha in her article, These are the 6 Kansas City art exhibits you need to explore this summer.
