“I grew up in the ’80s watching graffiti artists like Keith Haring, who did the Crack is Wack playground. He didn’t commission that, it was just there. You’d see his work everywhere in the street for free.” He continues, “So I came up thinking I didn’t want to kill anyone with the price of my sculptures or my knives. I want people to have them and enjoy them.”

“For years it’s been an amazing artists’ community intermingling with a lot of firefighters,” said Geoff Feder, 44, a blacksmith, sculptor, knifemaker and Manhattan native who moved to Peekskill in 2004. One of his autumn projects will be heating up steel guns, forging them down, and welding them back together for a sculpture to be displayed outside River Outpost Brewing Company, at the Factoria at Charles Point.
