Tonight from 6pm to 10pm, join for a one-night celebration of all the makers and artists who call The Forge their creative home. This year, rather than their typical ‘Forge Birthday’, they are throwing a kitschy, campy, block party, filling the ‘front lawn’ with artist-designed metal flamingos—each one a unique, sculptural take on the classic lawn ornament—and opening the doors to you for an evening of exhibitions, music, drinks, and a Family Recipe Contest. They’ll also be showcasing work from members and artists in residence, giving tours throughout the facility, and curating a few unexpected moments tucked throughout the space. The Forge is located at 217 Willow St.
This important event raises critical funds for The Forge’s community programs—studio residencies for local artists, youth and continued education, and their Future Makers initiative. Your ticket directly supports everything it takes to keep a space like this thriving. It also includes access to the party, open bar, and a table full of lovingly made family-style dishes. WXNA DJs will be there spinning great music for you all night! Tickets and info at the link in The Forge’s bio. 🦩🎶🍹
Come out and show your support, celebrate, and spend the evening surrounded by all this fabulous creative energy!
