Industrial Influence is an exhibition that investigates how artists are influenced by various aspects of industry. Processes such as metal casting and fabrication served as inspiration for many works in this exhibition. Some artists were influenced by industrial sites and created pieces in response to a site. Other innovative approaches artists used in this exhibition interpreted utilitarian objects such as tools and created thought-provoking works that engage the viewer. Industrial influence reflects how the industry plays an important role while celebrating Bethlehem’s deep-rooted history in industrial processes.
