Passing Moments: Belger Arts’ Eleventh Annual Resident Exhibition continues through September 7 at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery. 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. The artists explore nostalgia, memorial, and how objects present a view into the past.

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.

Currently at the Belger Arts Center

Artists included in Whispers and Screams: Voices from the Belger Collection at the Belger Arts Center (2100 Walnut St., KCMO) 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.

To schedule a tour for this or any Belger Arts exhibition please email gallery@belgerarts.org or call 816-474-7316.
