Our Mission:

The Collective’s focus is to provide a public facility equipped with the space and tools necessary to start or advance in the metal arts trade while offering educational, teaching, retail, and gallery show opportunities. We will develop strong relationships with other art programs and schools to expand and share our knowledge and skills continually.

We will offer a variety of classes and workshops ranging from beginner to advanced; in-person and online. The Collective will offer memberships, but membership will not be required to participate in classes and workshops. There will be open studio times where membership holders can use the studio and equipment autonomously. The Collective’s retail space will have two purposes: One, to offer metal craft supplies and kits for purchase, and two, to have a consignment area where local metal artists can sell their goods. The gallery space will highlight artworks by metal artists from around the area.

Our Goal:

$30,000 by Summer 2025
