FORGE THE FUTURE

As we emerge from forced hibernation during the COVID pandemic, a rebirth of possibilities feels so good. Forging metal strengthens, forms, and releases its potential into works of art. As members of the metal arts community, let us strengthen, form, and release each other’s artistic potential as we “Forge the Future.”
 
Wield the hammer, light the torch, watch the solder flow, and share your artistic vision with others in this curated members exhibition. Let us commit to collectively shaping a more equitable, diverse, and dynamic metals community as we “Forge the Future.”

The Metal Arts Guild is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year and kicks off its public programming with this exhibition. We will carry on the rich history of the guild as we “Forge the Future” for the next 70 years.
