☀️ Have you seen the “Sunset Over Waynesboro” sculpture at Sunset Park?

This incredible sculpture was a collaborative project created by 11 artist-blacksmiths at the Virginia Institute of Blacksmithing right here in Waynesboro!

The project was led by Ukrainian Master Blacksmith Artem Marshak, who designed the sculpture and guided the artists through its creation. Each unique ray of the sun was crafted by an individual artist, with many of the rays inspired by Virginia and Waynesboro. 🌿

As you look at the sculpture, see if you can spot the natural forms woven into the design, including trees, flowers, water, and Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). You’ll also find nods to some of the things that make Waynesboro special—from fly-fishing and industry to innovation, brewing, and recreation.

🎨 Artists:
Artem Marshak • Dale Morse • Shannon O’Connor • Gus Redmond • Morgan Owen • Aidan Heintzel • Cindy Caple • Brian Jackson • Holden Fenhoff • Michael Libercci • Mark Potter

Next time you’re at Sunset Park, take a closer look and see what details you can find! 👀
