Let’s Stoke the Fire
“The purpose of this public event is to bring excitement and motivate everyone to immerse themselves in arts and the art-making process.”
Liberty Arts presents the ninth annual Iron Pour, a public artmaking experience, on Saturday, November 15th, in Durham Central Park.
About Iron Pour
Every November since 2016, Liberty Arts has hosted a free public arts expereince in Durham Central Park. More than 3,000 attendees are expected to watch teams of artists operate three furnaces that heat thousands of pounds of iron to unfathomable temperatures. Throughout the evening, pour masters will create iron tiles designed during the poursquare workshops and sculptures made by various NC artists.

REIGNITE IRON HEROES
The Iron Pour is one of Durham’s largest events and is always free and open to the public. And as our largest fundraiser when you make a small donation, are a local partner, or become a distinguished sponsor you are supporting our programming. Specifically, your Iron Pour contribution makes it possible for us to continue community programs like IRON HEROES and 3rd Friday events.
With this year’s pour we invite you to reignite the beloved IRON HEROES program, a vital initiative that has been on hiatus, your support allows us to bring the program back even better than it was before! To rekindle the program, we are launching a community fundraiser with the goal of $15,000. Every contribution big and small will provide the essential elements including materials, the space, and the staff so that our community can continue to share their stories through art!
Please consider contributing to the 9th Annual Iron Pour and spreading the message so we can reach our goal and make a meaningful
