Metal in March is a biennial event held throughout March that promotes sustainable art practices through the use of metal while offering a public art showcase that enriches the region’s cultural landscape.
The 2026 program features a range of workshops and an Exhibition Held in the Emerald Gallery from 23 February – 20 March 2026. The Metal in March exhibition invites artists and creators to explore the creative reuse metal materials, transforming them into works of art.
