Annual Liberty Arts Iron Pour Fundraiser

“The purpose of this public event is to bring excitement and motivate everyone to immerse themselves in arts and the art-making process”. - Michael Waller

The Iron Pour has become a major cultural anchor in Durham, bringing together thousands of people to celebrate fire, metal, and creative expression in a dynamic, interactive setting.

It's also Liberty Arts' largest fundraiser. When you make a small donation, become a local partner, or join us as a distinguished sponsor, you provide direct support to our community initiatives. Your Iron Pour contribution helps sustain programming like IRON HEROES. 

This year, we are excited to reignite the IRON HEROES program, which uplifts youth and veterans in Durham through creativity. With your support, this program will return stronger than ever! To make this possible, we are launching a community fundraiser with the goal of $15,000.  Each contribution helps to prepare materials, space, and instructors that will encourage our community to share their stories through art making! 

With your support, the Annual Iron Pour will continue to grow, providing extraordinary public art experiences, amplifying local artists, and strengthening Durham’s creative economy—all while keeping this beloved event free and accessible to all.

Please consider contributing to the 9th Annual Iron Pour and spreading the word. Together, we can reach our goal and make a meaningful difference.
