[FE]ATURED AR[TI]STS

Crosstown Arts / 1350 Concourse Ave. May 30 - September 14th

[Fe]ATURED AR[Ti]STS was created and curated by staff members of Memphis’s own Metal Museum.

Much like elements are the building blocks of the materials we use, creativity, collaboration, and tradition are the cornerstones of the Museum. Staff across departments maintain their own artistic practices, displaying a tremendous variety of styles and mediums. Our shops build custom commissions, repair and restore all manner of metal objects, and offer public workshops that span traditional methods and contemporary technology. Our galleries and permanent collection host exhibitions of works made around the world. Together, these various elements form an institution that is greater than the sum of its parts, preserving and advancing fine metalworks on both local and international scales. This collection exhibits different processes integral to the Museum’s mission and other artistic mediums important to our staff’s creative pursuits. Primarily composed of forging, casting, fabricating, and fine smithing, this showcase also features other techniques such as photography, painting, woodworking, and music.
