Meet the Artists Behind the Metal Art
Get ready for an incredible experience at the Metal Artist Collective, where metal art, creativity, community, and connection come together. Join us each day at Booth S12104 to meet and connect with 60 talented metal artists, shake hands, share stories, and talk all things metal art.
Featuring exciting Q&A sessions with talented metal artists from ScrapFest and Netflix's Metal Shop Masters, offering unique opportunities to hear their experiences and creative journeys.
We're also bringing people together through two meaningful outreach and awareness events: “Sisterhood of Steel”, celebrating and empowering women in welding and the trades, and “Forging the Future”, focused on encouraging, supporting, and inspiring the next generation of welders and skilled tradespeople.
And the connections don't stop at the booth. Join the Metal Artist Collective for special gatherings at Cristian and Luis's studio and Kevin Stone's studio, bringing the metal art and welding community together beyond the show floor.
More than an exhibit, the Metal Artist Collective is about creating opportunities, building relationships, raising awareness for metal art, and making a lasting impact on the welding industry for generations to come!
