3RD ANNUAL COLLEGIATE IRON POUR
September 25-27, 2009

This season, young artists from distinguished northeast colleges will converge at SAW for the Third Annual Salem Art Works Collegiate Iron Pour.

This annual conference is an excellent opportunity for students, organizations, and professors to meet, collaborate, share ideas, and establish a lasting dialogue and friendship.

Because large scale iron pours require the focus, skill, and energy of many people working together in order to be successful, students have to work together in teams throughout the pour. This collaborative approach to art-making helps young students progress exponentially faster than if they were working individually and allows for students across the northeast to connect and share their ideas and skills. This is also an unusual opportunity for schools without casting facilities to provide their students with the means to make cast-iron sculpture.

Grunge-rock performance group Bunny Brains are slated to play at Salem Art Works on September 26th, the evening of SAW’s 3rd Annual Intercollegiate Iron Pour. The show begins at 9pm and admission is a $3 donation.

On the last day of the conference, the public is invited to watch the pour.
