Artwork & Sculptures

Where Fabrication Meets Creative Vision

Metal artwork and sculptures bring spaces to life in ways that standard architectural finishes cannot. A well-placed sculptural element can define the identity of a building lobby, activate a public plaza, or create a landmark feature that draws people to a property. Metal City Fab has the fabrication capabilities, materials expertise, and craftsmanship to turn creative concepts into permanent metal installations.

We work directly with artists, architects, designers, and developers to fabricate custom metal artwork and sculptures for commercial properties, corporate headquarters, hospitality venues, healthcare campuses, public parks, and private collections. Our team can build from a fully detailed set of fabrication drawings or collaborate with the artist to translate a concept model or rendering into a buildable, installable piece.

Our shop capabilities include laser cutting, water jet cutting, CNC plasma cutting, MIG and TIG welding, forming, rolling, forging, and precision assembly. We work with structural steel, stainless steel (304 and 316), aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, Corten weathering steel, and mixed-media combinations. Scale ranges from tabletop pieces to multi-story installations requiring structural engineering and crane installation.

Our estimating team responds to most project inquiries within 24 hours.
