Germantown’s public-art project will bring nine bronze wolf sculptures to locations across the city. The Discover Germantown Metal Art Kickoff is set for Nov. 13 at Municipal Park, 1900 South Germantown Road, from 2 to 7 p.m.
The City of Germantown, Tennessee Government announced the project in a Facebook post on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. It will feature nine bronze wolf sculptures placed throughout Germantown.
What's Happening at Municipal Park
According to the city’s announcement, the kickoff will feature the Metal Museum’s mobile foundry, along with original molds, sculpting tools, and other artifacts used to create the wolves. Master artisans are scheduled to demonstrate live foundry pours, casting molten metal on-site throughout the afternoon. Monkeygrass Mayhem is slated to serve coffee.
Public-Art Planning and the Mobile Foundry
A documented part of Germantown’s earlier public-art work is its planning process: the Tennessee Arts Commission says the city’s ArtsLaunch community-engagement and visioning process was a component of its comprehensive public art master plan.
The Metal Museum says its Mini Mobile Metal Museum includes a mobile forge and foundry and is available for demonstrations on a limited schedule. That general description does not specify where the museum has used it for public education or detail the planned Germantown demonstrations; the kickoff activities above are those announced by the city.
Discover Germantown's Community Passport Program
Discover Germantown also includes a community passport program.
Materials released so far do not specify the wolves’ exact locations, identify who crafted the sculptures, or explain how the project was funded. They also do not say whether the community passport program will be tied to the wolves. The confirmed details are nine sculptures and a Nov. 13 kickoff.
