Annual Fire@Nite Iron Pour

Join us for our Fire@Nite public event on July 26th from 2-10 pm! Experience the unique art form of cast iron as the Trails Artists create stunning performances throughout the day. Explore the extensive collection of sculptures while hiking the Trails.

Your fun-filled schedule for the day:

From 2-7 pm

Witness performances throughout the museum involving cast iron, and be sure to hike the Trails to explore the variety of sculptures in the museum’s collection. Also, meet the Trails Crew that have traveled worldwide to become an artist intern at the museum during the month of July.

Interested in creating your very own cast iron art? Join us at our carving zone, where the Sculpture Trails crew will be ready to help you make your own relief sculpture and cast iron bowl during the event. Enjoy the experience of watching as your art gets poured with molten metal during the main performance at 8 pm.

Scratch Blocks and Doodle Bowls will be available to purchase until 7 pm or until supplies last.

Why Wait?! Purchase your scratch blocks and doodle bowls in advance!!

Scratch blocks are a $25 donation, and Doodle Bowls are a $50 donation to the museum. You can stop by the Trail’s foundry anytime before the event and purchase one from the Artist in Residence.

From 8-10 pm

Starting at 8 pm the main foundry will pour over 3,000 pounds of cast iron using two large-scale cast iron furnaces. Witness large metal sculptures being poured and performance art done by artists from all over the world. Come on out and share this unique experience with us as our July Workshop comes to a fiery close!
