About Belger Arts: Since 2000, the Belger Arts Center has invited viewers to explore, question, and deepen their understanding of art and the world around them. Drawing on the extensive Belger Collection, as well as a rich variety of local, national, and international artists, the center has presented more than 100 large-scale exhibitions that represent some of the best in contemporary art.
Opened in 2013, the Belger Crane Yard Studios arts complex is dedicated to providing studio and exhibition space for artists. A range of programming in ceramics education and an Artist in Residence program have established Belger as a center for contemporary art.
The Belger Glass Annex opened in 2021 as Kansas City’s first public glass studio of its scale and scope. The facility features state-of-the-art equipment and tools, a furnace holding 300 pounds of molten glass, and three workstations. Educational offerings explore contemporary and traditional glass art, while an Artist in Residence program provides opportunities for emerging artists to further their artistic and professional careers. The Belger Glass Annex is primed to become a Midwest hub for glass art, education, and appreciation, strengthening Kansas City’s reputation as an arts destination.
