New metal arts gallery opens in downtown Green Bay | Streetwise

A local scrap metal artist opened a new downtown Green Bay art gallery and workshop to showcase his work and the work of other Wisconsin-based metal artists. Shane Keith on Nov. 1 held a soft opening at The Finer Side of Scrap , 226 N. Adams St., and plans to host a formal grand opening with community leaders in early December. The gallery will feature works of metal art made by seven different artists, including Keith, that offer a variety of styles. You might recognize Keith as a regular vendor at local events like ArtFest and farmers markets where he sells under the name S.K. Scrap Art . He transforms scrap metal, bolts, screws, silverware and other found metal into figurative sculptures of guitar players, flowers, bolt figures offering up a flower and birds.

Keith first got interested in metal art as a kid when he visited Dr. Evermor's Sculpture Park in Sauk County on a school field trip. It was a hobby of his for many years, but about three years ago he decided
