Matt Weir is a contemporary sculptor and artist known for his monumental works in stone, bronze, and mixed media. He graduated Cum Laude with a BFA from the University of Louisville Hite Art Institute with minors in Humanities and Art History in 2004. Throughout his time in school, he was busily apprenticing with a diverse set of professional artists, studios, and a bronze art foundry. Matt’s time associated with Bright Foundry lasted for approximately 15 years. In 2016 Bright Foundry closed permanently and he co-organized a team to succeed it as Falls Art Foundry, located in the Portland neighborhood as an essential resource to support the legacy of sculptural materials, methods, and education.
