Mo Dickens retires from Belger this month and we're hosting a public reception at the Belger Arts Center (2100 Walnut St., KCMO) from 6 to 8 pm on First Friday, January 5, 2024. If you can’t make it, the Terry Winters exhibition will be open through Saturday, January 6, 2024, so come by and wish him well.


The ultimate raconteur, we’ll miss his sense of humor and the care and time he took with each visitor. 

Don't miss your chance to view over 100 works by renowned painter and printmaker Terry Winters at the Belger Arts Center. The exhibition closes January 6.


After January 6, the Belger Arts Center galleries will be closed until April 5, 2024, when our next exhibition opens. We'll have exhibitions and public programs at our Belger Crane Yard Studios and Belger Glass Annex locations. Information about all programs can be found on our website.

The January Mug of the Month artist is Huey Lee and his mugs are available for purchase online and at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery. Huey Lee is a ceramic artist from South Korea who has dedicated his career to exploring the expressive possibilities of clay. Lee's clay works are an exploration of daily emotions and introspection, creating tangible objects that reflect intangible feelings. By incorporating memories and experiences, his work reveals his interests, discomforts, and emotional responses.


Don't delay, purchase yours today!

Time is a Circle: Generational Craft Practices includes the work of Mona Cliff, Wansoo Kim, Hùng Lê, Jada Patterson, Jason Wang, and Aleah Washington.

 

The 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.

Coming in February

Belger Crane Yard Gallery presents Salvador Jiménez-Flores' solo exhibition, Arte-Sano: Soy Libre Porque Pienso, opening Friday, February 2, at 2011 Tracy Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64108.  An opening night reception will be held from 6 pm to 8 pm, where the artist will give remarks at 6:30 pm.


Salvador Jiménez-Flores was born and raised in Jalisco, México. Immigrating from rural Mexico to the U.S. as a teenager has had a tremendous impact on him and his work. Exploring the politics of identity, the state of double consciousness, and the outlook of “the other,” he addresses issues of colonization, migration, history, cultural appropriation, and futurism across a range of mediums. The exhibition showcases the breadth of the artist's practice and includes ceramics, glass, metal, photography, and prints.
