An interior shot of the former Brass Works building.

Before it is renovated and becomes part of the Goodman Community Center, Madison residents will be able to explore the city’s historic Brass Works building amid the work of local artists. Many of the show’s 18 artists are creating site-specific installation pieces from the raw industrial space itself. The show provides an opportunity to admire the historic edifice as it currently stands: dynamic, gritty, and still full of life. Note: the space has uneven surfaces and stairs have open metal grate treads, so wear sensible closed-toed shoes. Not all of the spaces are handicap-accessible, and everyone is advised to watch their step. Through June 17.

press release:

Opening Reception · Saturday, June 10, 5–8 p.m.

Exhibition Dates · June 11 through June 17

Exhibition Hours: Sunday, June 11 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Monday, June 12 to Thursday, June 15 from 4:30 to 7:30 pm; Friday, June 16 from 4 to 8 p.m.; Saturday, June 17 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Note to visitors: Come prepared. Brass Works’ raw, industrial space has uneven surfaces and stairs have open metal grate treads, so sensible closed-toed shoes without heels would be safest. Also, the roof leaks, so bring rain gear in case of rain. Umbrellas will not be allowed inside. Regretfully, not all of the spaces are handicap-accessible, and everyone will be advised to watch their step.
