Event Details

This exhibition brings together an impressive group of regional, national, and award-winning artists in a dynamic showcase of contemporary cast iron sculpture and installations. From the visceral beauty of molten iron to the dynamic nature of pour performances and fire-activated installations, “Sowing Iron” highlights the evolution and expressive potential of this medium. 

Led by artist Tamsie Ringler, who has recently relocated to Dubuque, this exhibition aims to introduce the local and regional community to the diverse and evolving practice of cast iron art. The exhibit not only celebrates the artistry of cast iron but also serves as a prelude to the upcoming Iron Harvest Pour at the Dubuque Museum of Art, further engaging the public in this vibrant artistic community.
We extend our gratitude to Tamsie and the participating artists for bringing this exciting exhibition to the Dubuque Area Arts Collective and our community
