LAWRENCE, KANSAS - HEARTLAND ART BRONZE, INC.
Since opening in 1987, Heartland Art Bronze has established itself as one of the finest full service art foundries in the Midwest. Heartland has cast monuments for cities in both America and Europe, these sculptures having ranged in height from six to ten feet. More common than these monumental works are the smaller pieces that sculptors bring into the foundry daily. Taking into consideration the unique style and size of each work, every sculpture is given our technicians' undivided attention to detail throughout the foundry process. With over sixty years of combined experience, the staff at Heartland ensure that each sculpture represents the artist's original vision.
