For more than 50 years,
American Fine Arts Foundry has operated on a principle that sounds simple but isn't: if you're going to do something, do it right.
This is professional craftsmanship. This is AFA.
That means an organization that dials in alloy ratios to the hundredth of a percent. It means hands that have solved every problem bronze can throw at you. It means walking through the shop and feeling the difference between people who cast metal and people who live it.
WHAT WE DO
Fine art gallery work for the world’s top artists. Monuments for Fortune 500 corporate partners. Industry Awards for Film, Television, and Sport. Memorials. Edition work. One-offs.
Different scale. Same passion.
HOW AFA WORKS
When an artist comes calling with a napkin sketch asking: “how would you do this?” – we talk it through. Manufacturability. Structural engineering. Transportation. Installation. The whole arc.
When a first-time public artist needs credibility at their pitch meeting, AFA shows up. When an institution is nervous about writing a six-figure deposit check to an unproven sculptor, AFA becomes prime contractor and carries the project.
This isn’t customer service. It’s partnership.
The team makes it all possible. Our production manager has forgotten more about foundry work than most people will ever know. Same across the shop – craftspeople with 15, 20, 25 years experience, who’ve seen every challenge bronze can throw at them.
But technical mastery only explains part of why artists and designers keep coming back.
Professionalism. Responsiveness. Clear communication. Accountability. Stewardship.
These are foundational to how we operate. One-off figurative work, editions, large-scale public art—it doesn’t matter. Same approach, every time.
