2024 Proposed Project: Glimmer
Glimmer is a grand crown made of steel vines, vibrant resin flowers, and colorful gems. Inside the crown a fire pit and benches invite people to pause, observe, and consider the reality around them. At night gems will glow and points of the crown will ignite creating a spectacle of light and heat.

The Artists
Founded in 2006, the Iron Monkeys are a metalworking collective based in Seattle, Washington. Known primarily for forging heavy industrial steel into intricate, delicate patterns, the Iron Monkeys have progressed from making small, stand-alone steel sculptures into creating large-scale multi-faceted gathering spaces which increasingly incorporate propane fire elements. Their pieces have been on display temporarily at the Burning Man Arts Festival, the Reno Mangrove Project, the Burien Interim Arts Space (B/IAS), Critical Massive, Seacompression, Seattle Burners Without Borders events, and Tacoma's First Night Celebration. Their pieces are permanently on display in Rainier Vista's Central Park in South Seattle, Whitaker Park, in northwest Reno, Nevada, and the backyards of some of their supporters.
