Alabama Art Casting Exhibition Opening

Alabama Art Casting is a 501-c3 collective of artists from Alabama and surrounding states specializing in iron art, producing various types of artwork in iron.  Tannehill Ironworks Historic State Park has been their headquarters for iron pours of local artists and workshops to the public from their portable foundry,  involving public participation at Tannehill.   Members of the AAC artists were trained for several years in England at Museum of Steel Sculptures in Coalbrookedale .  The Exhibition you are seeing at East Village Arts travels to us directly from the show previously hosted at Mississippi College in Meridian MS.  It will feature the history of iron art and a variety of work from artists from Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, and Tennessee. Previously showing at Meridian’s Mississippi College, the exhibition will be up at EAST VILLAGE ARTS through April, simultaneous with the National Conference on Contemporary Cast Iron Art Practices hosted at Sloss Furnace on April 2-5.  See: www.nccciap.org
