The Forge Front Lawn Party!

On September 19 from 6pm to 10pm, join us for a one-night celebration of all the makers and artists who call The Forge their creative home. This year, rather than our typical 'Forge Birthday', we’re throwing a block party, filling our 'front lawn' with artist-designed metal flamingos—each one a unique, sculptural take on the classic lawn ornament—and opening our doors for an evening of exhibitions, music, drinks, and a Family Recipe Contest. We'll also be showcasing work from our members and artists in residence, giving tours throughout our facility, and curating a few unexpected moments tucked throughout the space.

This event raises critical funds for The Forge’s community programs—studio residencies for local artists, youth and continued education, and our Future Makers initiative. Your ticket directly supports everything it takes to keep a space like this thriving. It also includes access to the party, open bar, and a table full of lovingly made family-style dishes. Come ready to support, celebrate, and spend the evening surrounded by creative energy!
