A great thing about living in a small community is the ties they feel to their history with a distinct flair for the amazing things available in each generation.  Kingsport Tennessee continues to allow local artist venues to share their talent with functional “art.”

Appalachian Ironworks was awarded the contract to create typically need fixtures for the downtown community to enjoy and use.

Benches
These benches could make any ironsmith sing, as it is actually the opening lines to three different famous musicals or songs.  For those that know music – you might recognize it right away.  For the rest of us, the answers will be put up next month!

Shaded Sitting Area
Most of us have never seen iron through the eyes of an artist, but for the Kingsport Downtown walkers, a touch of art shines through colored roof of this piece.  Who wouldn’t want to take a few minutes to rest and just enjoy the view, when you have this to brighten the space?
