Belger Arts invites artists to Put a Lid on It and explore the lidded vessel form.

From butter dishes and Dutch ovens to a trinket jar, adding a lid creates separation between what is inside and what is outside. Sometimes this separation is functional (keeping a casserole warm, while en route to a potluck), or it’s emotional (a safe place to keep a precious treasure).

The notion of what we choose to hold inside can be literal or symbolic, practical or emotional. Put a Lid on It invites artists to draw upon these ideas when creating lidded vessels and covered dishes in their unique styles.

Awards totaling up to $500 will be offered.
