Free Artist Talk with Visiting Resident Artist Pierce Haley

Saturday, April 4 at 11:00AM

at Belger Crane Yard Gallery

Join us for a FREE artist talk with Visiting Resident Artist Pierce Haley, as he shares insights into his creative process and inspirations!


Originally from Orinda, California, Haley’s artistic vision has been significantly shaped by his father’s work as an architect, particularly in modern mid-century architecture.  Haley uses a combination of 3-D printing, slip casting, and mold making to create large installations and tessellations.


During his talk, Haley will delve into his artistic approach and the body of work he’s creating during his residency at Belger Arts.
