Silent Auction - Fundraiser for Metal Shops Repair - 9/23-10/11
About Our Auction
ARQ Barn’s first rented studio, Black Walnut, was the blacksmith shop of Durand Van Doren, called Durand’s Forge from 1998-2020. The building was originally a tractor shed built in the 1950s, and is in need of some significant infrastructure improvements to keep it standing as a place to make art.
Durand’s Forge transitioned to Crepuscular Forge as Teo Aceto stepped into the role of master blacksmith in 2020, and Durand semi-retired. There are four studios that make up “The Metal Shops,” and we want to keep them standing for a good long time!
