Frank Thong: Digital Debut

November 4, 2022 - December 31, 2022

at Belger Crane Yard Studios
2011 Tracy Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64108

Frank Thong’s work focuses on the balance between Eastern and Western influences contextualized through his cultural identity. Drawing upon concepts from Asian ceramics and his cultural experiences growing up, he creates functional objects that encapsulate the Asian-American dilemma. Through his artwork, he hopes to chip away at social stereotypes and promote representation. 

Thong was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and earned a BFA in Ceramics, and a minor in Arts Entrepreneurship with an Asian Studies certificate from the Kansas City Art Institute. He is a resident artist at KC Clay Guild and Charlotte Street Foundation.  Previously he was a resident artist at the International Ceramics Studio in Kecskemet, Hungary.

Thong’s work is available online and at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery (2011 Tracy Ave, KCMO) through December 31, 2022.
