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. "I try to use random, everyday stuff people may have at their homes," Keith said. "Or old hand tools and materials that trigger some nostalgia." 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
