Formed by Fire Opening Reception

Formed by Fire

September 19 – October 24, 2026
Opening Reception: Saturday, September 19, 2026, 6-8pm

Join us for the opening reception of Formed by Fire, an exhibition exploring the transformative possibilities of metal through both traditional casting techniques and contemporary fabrication. United by the elemental force of heat, artists reveal how material, process, and craftsmanship shape both form and meaning.

From molten metal poured into molds to fabricated structures assembled through cutting, welding, and forging, this exhibition highlights the dynamic relationship between precision and unpredictability that defines work in metal. Each artist engages with the material’s unique physical properties, embracing both its strength and its responsiveness to fire, pressure, and time. Formed by Fire celebrates the enduring versatility of the medium and the many ways artists continue to push its expressive and technical possibilities.
