Forging on the River Live Auction


 Saturday, March 31, 4 - 8 pm at the Metal Museum

You are cordially invited to a lively auction and tasty dinner on the bluff at The Metal Museum. The auction, an integral part of the annual Forging on the River Blacksmith conference, features a vast array of functional and artistic metalwork that has been generously donated by talented metalsmiths from all over North America. Feel free to come early and enjoy an iron pour and watching Metal Museum Apprentices Logan Hirsh and Abraham Pardee demonstrate their skills at the forge from 4 – 6 pm.

You’ll enjoy an evening of fun and frivolity, art and beauty. All proceeds go to support your beloved Metal Museum and its many fine programs and exhibitions. Bring your friends and family.
