Belger Arts is pleased to present Brimming: Belger Arts Goblet Invitational, an exhibition that opens Friday, July 12 at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery (2011 Tracy Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64108) and runs through October 5, 2024.
Artists from across the country were invited to create interpretations of the goblet form. The exhibition includes a variety of media, approaches, and styles – from the most pristine representation of the form to the most out-of-the-box design.
The goblet or chalice has a long history filled with mysticism, power, and ritual. At its core, a goblet is defined as a footed vessel intended to hold drink. However, the common understanding of what a goblet is expands beyond its function to its inherent symbolism relating to ceremony and opulence. Playful or traditional, the artists in the exhibition offer their interpretations of the goblet’s history and form. The exhibition includes over 50 ceramics, glass, and mixed media works. Purchase awards totaling up to $2,500 will be offered. The public will also have the opportunity to vote for their favorite goblet.
