The Steel Yard offers arts and technical training programs designed to increase opportunities for cultural and artistic expression, career-oriented training, and small business incubation.


Friday is July 4th!
That means there are no activities in our studio and no regular tours.
We're sorry for the inconvenience, but our normal programming will resume on Saturday.
Have a happy (firework-free) fourth!
