Join us this First Friday, June 5, for a night jam-packed with fun!

Join us for the opening of two new exhibitions, Proximity and Practice: The Belger Arts’ Thirteenth Annual Resident Exhibition and Beat the Heat. Proximity and Practice features work by eight Ceramic and Glass Resident Artists who have pushed their studio practices, exploring how proximity—or lack thereof—shapes their connections to family, community, online spaces, and the physical world. In Beat the Heat, each 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?”

Also, shop Dog Days, the gallery’s newest seasonal collection dedicated to celebrating our beloved pets, embracing every size, shape, and species.

The Belger Glass Annex will not host the June 5, First Friday glass demo. Instead, the glass demo will be at Belger Crane Yard Gallery with local glass artist Ursula Tizon. Catch her captivating live demo showcasing her stained glass techniques. Tizon’s work was recently featured in our seasonal gallery collection, Here Comes the Sun.

Browse our new exhibitions, meet the artists, and snack on delicious treats from Tasty Temptationz! Tasty Temptationz is a local mobile ice cream shop that offers dairy-free soft serve, including ice cream cones, ice cream sandwiches, sundaes, and more.
