Mainx24: Aluminum Pour and East Main Block Party
$25 to Participate, Free to Watch
Drive on down to Sculpture Fields (plenty of free parking) to join in on all the fun at the East Main Block Party. Sculpture Fields, The Wheelhouse, Habitat Restore and other local businesses have special events planned.
The party gets started at 12PM at Sculpture Fields with Isaac Duncan III returning to demonstrate an aluminum pour which will allow visitors to make a holiday scratch plate to take home. (Cost $25). Supplies are limited to the first 45 participants so it will be first come first serve. There are some basic holiday designs in them already that individuals can personalize by scratching into the blocks. When they're done personalizing it, we'll take it over to our temporary forge and Isaac will fill the block mold with molten aluminum. After about 30 minutes, the piece is cool and ready for collection. Participants can stroll the park while they wait, or visit other locations as part of the East Main Block Party.
Our "Holiday Scratch Blocks" are specially made with holiday designs to make the creative process and outcome of your resin bonded sand block relief plates more dynamic.
What are Resin Bonded Sand Blocks?
Resin Bonded Sand Blocks are blocks made of sand and resin (like glue) that bonds to each other to create a rectangular form to pour metal into.
Process of scratching/carving:
Participants will sit/stand at a table, with there purchased holiday sand block, and scratch/carve designs into it. There will be a ribbon shape where one can carve their name or someone else's name, if it is a gift.
Below are examples of the blocks, the molds that created them, scratched design and an outcome. There will be a few blanks available for custom designs. Please be willing to spend time on them. Also remember that if you carve in names, you must do it in a mirror image manner.
There will be special instructions at the site.
Purchases for the last pour will end around 3:15 pm. Length of time can be anywhere from 1-2hrs, depending on how many completed blocks are ready to be poured.
Please remember Gourmet Cuisines are not made in 15 minutes, neither is the FINE ART EXPERIENCE.
Be sure to plan on spending some time touring the park and hearing about the 35+ large-scale sculpture currently in the park on the free downloadable app Otocast.

Spring in the Park
April 07 - Saturday

FREE ADMISSION
It’s a day of family fun on the Southside when Sculpture Fields celebrates its second anniversary with Spring in the Park. Enjoy live music, picnic from fun food trucks, visit the beer tent, experience artists creating their paintings and drawings outdoors, check out the new children’s area and finish off the day with witnessing the awe-inspiring sculpture burn of a 30-foot wooden structure by artist Andrew Nigh when he sets his creation ablaze.
Andrew Nigh has been designing and creating his pyrokinetic outdoor sculptures for more than 15 years. Each sculpture is designed to inspire emotional interaction with the viewer.
The monumental wood sculpture Nigh is creating for this year’s Spring in the Park is titled Aster Origamus. It will have five structural angled stanchions, with petals protruding from each one. The towering 30-foot sculpture will come to life as the sculpture is lit. The petals will unfold as the fire reaches each one, as if they are blossoming. At the same time other various flame-enhancing effects will provide kinetic movement.
Pop-Up Project and Ballet Tennessee
The Pop-up Project partnered with Ballet Tennessee to produce 'Anchors'. a dance film honoring the Fallen Five at Sculpture Fields in Chattanooga, TN.
