FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Kansas City, MO – Belger Arts is pleased to open its newest location, the Belger Glass Annex, with a Halloween-themed community event on Saturday, October 30, 6 pm to 9 pm at 1219 East 19th Street, Kansas City, MO 64108.  The public is invited to a fun-filled evening that includes glass blowing demonstrations, tours of the new Glass Annex, mingling with glass artists, refreshments, and the sale of glass pumpkins. 

 

The Belger Glass Annex is the first public glass blowing studio in Kansas City of its scale and scope.  The new facility boasts state of the art glass blowing equipment and tools, a furnace that holds 300 pounds of molten glass, and three work stations, making it an ideal location for teaching classes and hosting visiting artists. 

 

Belger Arts is known for its contemporary art exhibitions, ceramics studios and related educational programming.  The addition of the Glass Annex creates a unique opportunity for the cross pollination of ideas and materials across multiple art mediums.  The Belger Glass Annex is primed to be a Midwest hub for glass art, education and appreciation, strengthening Kansas City’s reputation as an arts destination. 

 

Classes begin on October 20th.  To schedule a visit and to learn more about classes, please visit BelgerArts.org or call 816-474-7316.

About Belger Arts:

Since 2000, the Belger Arts Center has encouraged viewers to explore, question, and deepen their understanding of art and of the world around them. Drawing upon the extensive John and Maxine Belger Family Foundation collection as well as a rich variety of local, national, and international artists, the Belger Arts Center has staged over 70 large-scale exhibitions that represent some of the best in contemporary art.

In 2013, Belger Arts expanded the Foundation’s commitment to the creative process by opening Belger Crane Yard Studios, an arts complex dedicated to providing studio and exhibition space for artists. A range of programming in ceramics education, in addition to the Red Star Residency program and Crane Yard Clay ceramics supply store, has made Belger a center for contemporary art.

Safety measures:

Belger Arts is committed to maintaining a safe place for our visitors, studio members and staff.  To ensure this, we require that visitors, employees and studio members wear a mask. Disposable masks and hand sanitizer are available.
