CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE IN THE FIELD

The Master Metalsmith series began in 1983 as a way for the Metal Museum to honor the most influential metal artists of the day. In the years since its inception it has brought the work of more than 30 internationally acclaimed metalsmiths to Memphis for solo exhibitions in the Mid South.
