Forged for the Future: AFA Foundry’s Expertise in Monumental Art

Forged for the Future: Where Art, Architecture, and Engineering Converge

American Fine Arts Foundry’s Evolution into the Premier Partner for Monumental and Architectural Art

Brett Barney, Chief Collaborator #AFAFoundry

OUR Foundry Transforms Ideas into MONUMENTS

In the world of art and architecture, scale changes everything. When a project stretches from a sketch to a skyline, it demands more than artistry — it requires partnership, precision, and a foundry capable of turning vision into enduring form.

At American Fine Arts Foundry (AFA), we’ve spent decades mastering the craft of sculpture. Today, that mastery fuels something even larger: a commitment to monumental and architectural-scale projects that merge art with engineering and transform public spaces into living legacies.

“For us, it all comes down to collaboration. By combining our legacy in the craft with Fortune 500-level processes and project management, we deliver results that stand the test of time—both artistically and structurally.”
Brett Barney, Chief Collaborator & CEO

From Concept to Construction: Building the Monumental

Our work begins with imagination — the sketch of a sculptor, the vision of an architect, the dream of a city planner. But what truly defines AFA is how that spark evolves.

Each project moves through a seamless continuum of digital modeling, mold creation, casting, finishing, and installation, guided by a collaborative process that ensures every creative voice is heard and every structural demand is met.

We integrate traditional foundry craftsmanship with modern engineering systems, advanced material science, and AI-assisted project management. The result: monumental works of art that are not only beautiful but built to endure.

A Foundry for Visionaries

Our facilities are designed to handle the scale and complexity of today’s architectural art — from integrated façade elements to freestanding public installations. Whether engineering a 30-foot bronze, fabricating a large-scale steel structure, or developing weather-resistant architectural components, we provide end-to-end support for artists, architects, and municipalities who think big.

Every project is an act of precision. Every collaboration is a shared creation. And every finished work is a testament to partnership, not just production.

Making the mold positive.

Engineering Emotion, Delivering Legacy

AFA Foundry stands at the intersection of craft and technology — where molten metal meets modern process, and where human imagination finds its structural form. We understand that large-scale projects aren’t simply about size; they’re about purpose, permanence, and presence.

From city landmarks to architectural centerpieces, our goal is simple:
To build what lasts. To create what moves people.
And to ensure that every work we cast becomes a legacy in bronze, steel, and stone.
