"Put a Lid on It" at the Belger Arts Center
October 03, 2025
FILED UNDER: exhibitions
Put a Lid on It is an exploration of the lidded vessel form, showcasing how adding a lid can create a compelling separation between what is inside and what is outside. From beautifully crafted butter dishes to imaginatively designed trinket jars, each vessel demonstrates how this separation can be functional or emotional. The notion of what we choose to hold inside, whether literal or symbolic, practical or emotional, is at the heart of this exhibition.
Put a Lid on It features imaginative work by over 100 artists, each contributing lidded vessels and covered dishes across a vibrant range of media and unique styles.
The exhibition runs until January 4, 2026.
