Upcoming Events

Join  us  on  June  3, 2023 for Iron Light!
Each year we welcome sculptors from around the United States and beyond to participate in Iron Light, a group iron casting residency and gathering.  This year's artists in residence and artist interns will be creating new artwork to be exhibited at the sculpture park in a public demonstration of the iron casting process. Blacksmithing, live music by Sycamore Bones as well as food trucks will be present at this family friendly event. A children's activities area will also entice our young visitors.
