Open House and Tasting at the Belger Glass Annex

Live Clay Demo at Belger Crane Yard Gallery

Join us at the Belger Glass Annex for an Open House and Spring Showcase. Participate in hands-on activities, tour the studio, and learn how artists use different equipment and techniques to create a wide variety of glass artwork. View work created by our renters, students, and community members in the 2026 BGA Spring Showcase!

Enjoy a free tasting from local brewery, Callsign Brewing, on top of complementary refreshments. They offer a wide selection of flagship and seasonal beers with a mission to honor those military service members lost serving our country.

At the Belger Crane Yard Gallery, watch Ceramic Resident Artist Zoey McLeod give a Live Clay Demo. Her work is largely inspired by the ability to collaborate with natural materials that serve as mementos of memory and adorn the home. Observe McLeod as she hand-builds nature-inspired candleabras, ask her questions about her studio practice, and get a sneak peek at her work for the upcoming resident exhibition.

View our exhibitions Second Skin: Exploring Adornment as an Extension of Self and Mathew McConnell: These Things Take Time alongside our new seasonal gallery collection, Here Comes the Sun.
