“Replicake” Pop-up with mooyueibaker 

First Friday, September 5 from 6:00PM to 8:00PM
Cake Cutting at 7:30PM
Belger Crane Yard Gallery

Celebrating More Than Meets the Eye, our exhibition of hyper-realistic and realistic artworks at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery, we’ve invited culinary artists to create “replicakes” or replicas of art from the exhibition, for our “Replicake” pop-up series.

A fun nod to the “Is it Cake?” phenomenon, pastry chef Yuei Costello, owner of Mooyueibaker, will have her “replicake” on view alongside an artwork from the exhibition on First Friday, September 5, from 6 to 8 PM for the last of the “Replicake” series.

Come and enjoy Mooyueibaker’s “replicake” and purchase her delectable desserts at her pop-up. Join us for a fun and delicious event!

ARTISTS TALK & First Friday Glassblowing Demo with Emily Potter

Artist Talk: September 4 starting at 6:00pm at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery

First Friday Glassblowing Demo: September 5 from 6:00-8:00pm at the Belger Glass Annex

Join us for a FREE Artist Talk and glassblowing demonstration this September with Glass Annex Program Coordinator, Emily Potter!

Potter is originally from Northwest Ohio and received a BFA from Bowling Green State University. She began working with glass in 2018 and is drawn to the material’s fluidity and transformative nature, which can mimic the rhythmic repetition of organic forms of the vast, rolling fields in her childhood.

Learn about Potter’s process and inspirations during her Artist Talk and watch her in action on First Friday as she leads the glassblowing demo to make a floral piece of art.

This programming is in conjunction with Potter’s special topic class Fire to Finish
