Metal Arts Village

Yesterday afternoon, Papa and I stopped by the Metal Arts Village in Tucson, a neighborhood of metal arts studios, configured like a village, around a central sculpture garden.  Housing artists in all areas of metal design, construction, fabrication, finishing and installation, the Metal Arts Village is a cooperative working and teaching arrangement between artists with different talents to design and create unique pieces of metal art.  The owner/founder/designer of the Metal Arts Village concept happened to be there and we chatted with him for some time.  He is an attorney who had this idea and acted on it.  He retired last year and works in metals.  He is living a dream and having a great time!
