Salvador Jiménez-Flores' solo exhibition, Arte-Sano: Soy libre porque pienso continues at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery (2011 Tracy Avenue, KCMO)

Salvador Jiménez-Flores is a Chicago-based artist and educator who, as a teenager, immigrated from Mexico to the U.S. His body of work is steeped in his experience as a bi-cultural, bilingual artist living “concurrently in two different worlds.” Arte-Sano: Soy libre porque pienso showcases the breadth of his practice through a range of media. His ceramics, glass, metalwork, photography, and prints reflect the artist’s continued exploration of the politics of identity and the state of double consciousness. He also highlights the struggles and complexities of Latinx people living in the U.S.

Mug of the Month: Beks Leininger

The March Mug of the Month artist is studio member Beks Leininger. Inspired by the rituals of sharing food and how functional vessels serve to connect all of humanity, she states, "My greatest joy and fulfillment comes when I envision someone starting their day with a cup of coffee in a mug I crafted, arranging flowers in a vase I designed, or sharing a meal with loved ones over a dining set of my creation."

Leininger's mugs are available at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery during regular hours and online 24/7 through March 31, 2024.
