Subject: New Residents, Fall Classes, First Friday and More!

Join us for our opening reception First Friday, September 7th!
In anticipation of Kansas City Open Spaces, Belger Arts is exhibiting a solo exhibition, "Gypsy Hymns" featuring ceramics and drawings by renowned artist and Missouri University's Professor of Art, Bede Clarke. The expansive, expressive ceramic works of Bede Clarke incorporate the tactile qualities seen in his drawings and paintings. Clarke describes his process as one that is guided by a dialogue with the work; “a voice that has commitment and conviction, but also the allure of mystery and enigma. I am always most pleased when striking a balance of wildness and restraint."
Opening Reception 6-9pm Friday, September 7th, 2018
