Just don’t call them gift shops, for God’s sake. Both locations of the Belger Arts facilities—the Belger Arts Center at 2100 Walnut and the Belger Crane Yard Studios at 2011 Tracy—have shops filled with colorful and unique items created by both local and international artists—but they are not traditional museum gift shops, says gallery assistant Lee Lappin. “They’re part of the gallery,” she says. “And many of the artists have exhibited here.” The shops specialize in ceramics, but there’s truly something special for every taste. The hours at the Walnut venue are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday. The Tracy venue is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday.
