Community Can Build Sculpture Cherry Fest Weekend

Community members will be able to be directly involved in the fabrication of  a sculpture over Cherry Festival weekend.  Local artist Macrae Wylde and The People’s Forge Project will lead 250 community members working with blacksmiths to forge iron components of the project during the festival.  The pieces will be used in the final sculpture to be placed in a new pocket park on the corner of 2nd and Washington Streets.  This past fall artists in the Columbia Gorge from Cascade Locks to Biggs Junction were invited to participate in a Call for Artists to design the sculpture.  The Peoples Forge was founded in 2019 by Kellen Bateham, a highly skilled Oregon blacksmith.
