Belger Arts proudly presents Gabe Feenan as our 2022 Belger Glass Annex Visiting Artist!

Since 2022, Gabe has been the resident gaffer at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA. His geometric stacks of glass are a play of color, light, form, and flow. His technically challenging compositions are an exploration of the optical qualities of glass. While in Kansas City, Gabe will give an artist talk, a free glass blowing demonstration, and a three-day workshop.

Don't miss these opportunities to interact with the artist:

Free Artist Talk: Thursday, October, 6, 6PM - 7PM

Glass Workshop: October 8 - October 11, (registration required)
