Proximity and Practice: Belger Arts’ Annual Resident Exhibition

Belger Arts’ eight resident artists spent the past year expanding their studio practices and exploring how proximity—and distance—shape connections to family, community, online spaces, and the physical world. The exhibition is the culmination of their 2025–2026 residencies.

 

Join us for remarks from featured artists Sara Alfieri and Tyler Suter at 6:30 PM on Friday, September 4.

Beat the Heat

Beat the Heat captures the distinctive spirit of summer, evoking both the warmth of the season and relief from its oppressive heat. Each featured artist addresses a key aspect of the summer experience—whether it’s vibrant nightlife, exploring the outdoors and urban environments, or finding moments of calm amid the season’s frenzy. Together, they consider the central question: “What Beats the Heat?”


See the exhibition before it closes Saturday, September 5, 2026.
