We are a group of blacksmiths building bike racks for communities in central and upstate New York.
“Blacksmiths and Bicycles” is a collaboration between artist blacksmiths and local communities. Using designs provided by the local community input, blacksmiths will build sculptural bike racks using traditional forging methods. We will highlight forging hot iron using centuries old technology with modern designs to produce beautiful public artwork that also promotes healthy bicycle use in central New York.
This project is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by CNY Arts.
And funds from our community partners in the Village of Chittenango and
the City of Oneida.
And from 44 backers of our successful Kickstarter campaign
