Saugus Iron Works hosting virtual gallery of work from MassArt students
Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site partnered with students from Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt) and Visiting Lecturer in Sculpture Marjee-Anne Levine to create a new virtual gallery, I Cast Iron Because… This multimedia presentation features unique metal sculptures, artist statements, and self-made video profiles of each artist.
Located at the site of the first successful iron works in British-occupied North America, the virtual gallery brings students into dialogue with place and history to inspire artistic expression.
The featured artists are members of the MassArt Iron Corps*, a nationally recognized student-run organization dedicated to the historic traditions and techniques of iron casting. In cast-iron plaques and artists profiles, students complete the sentence “I cast iron because…” and consider the purpose behind their artistic practice. Find more artwork and artist stories by clicking here.
With personal stories, diverse narratives, and incredible sculptures I Cast Iron Because… peels back the curtain to offer visitors a glimpse at the process and passion of contemporary iron casting and the enduring legacies of Saugus’ 17th century iron works.
