MonuMetal: Reforged — The Kimbell & Downtown Bryan
Sat, Apr 25, 2026
MonuMetal began in 2012 as a community fundraiser: local metal artists transforming industrial remnants into monumental public art auctioned to help save the Queen Theatre. In 2026 it returns — reforged. A weekend-long, family-friendly celebration of fire, steel, music, and community, featuring the MonuMetal found-object sculpture competition with large-scale works installed downtown and auctioned to support the artists and future programming, plus the return of the Steephollow Forgeworks Combo Demo in honor of Carlton Lee. With the Texas A&M Aggie Blacksmithing Club, smiths will forge a topographical map of Texas from hand-made nails made on site, auctioned after the festival.
