Belger Arts is pleased to present Heartland 5, a juried exhibition of the Midwest’s finest glass art.

The idea to host an annual "Heartland" exhibition began at Monarch Glass Studio in 2017. Since 2022 Belger Arts has carried on the tradition.

Glass artists from Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma were invited to submit work to Heartland 5. The exhibition includes selected works by: Miguel Alaniz, Shelby Allen, Katie Burkett, Megan Chalifoux, Kate Clements, Brian Corr, Ethan Crawford, Hannah Fine, Robert Flowers, Katie Hogan, Cole Kennedy, Ryan Kepler, Tyler Kimball, Sara Sally LaGrand, Cecilia Labora, Jeremy Lampe, Jessalyn Mailoa, Kayla Ohlmer, Mary Peterson, Nadine Saylor, Evan Seeling, Alison Siegel & Pamela Sabroso, Kat Weltha, Casey Whittier, Nicole Woodard, and Hoseok Youn.

This year’s guest jurors were Jessica Jane Julius, Associate Professor and Program Head of Glass at Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University, and Tera Hedrick, Curator at the Wichita Art Museum.
