Topic: Matt Weir on Work in Sculpture and the Fulcrum for Yesterday to Tomorrow: A Bronze Casting Legacy Transitions
In this talk, Matt Weir explores his sculpture practice—his entry into the field, projects, materials, and challenges—while connecting his development to the history of Bright Foundry and its transition to Falls Art Foundry, a bronze casting foundry that has supported artists in Louisville and the region for 50 years. The talk will especially interest students, beginners, artists, and philanthropists engaged with Louisville’s evolving sculpture scene.
