Hercworx · Belchertown, Massachusetts
Make the campus
mean something.
Site-specific metal sculpture and public art for colleges, universities and private schools throughout New England.
Artist + fabricatorConcept through installation
Built for institutions
Art that belongs
to the place.
Hercworx creates durable, one-of-a-kind sculpture for the spaces where campus life happens—quads, courtyards, gardens, entrances, athletic facilities and new buildings.
Every commission is designed with the site, the institution and the people who will encounter it in mind. Design and fabrication happen under one roof, so form, material, structure, transport and installation work together from the start.

Common questions
Planning a campus commission.
What kinds of institutions do you work with?
Colleges, universities, independent and private schools, municipal campuses, developers, arts organizations and architects throughout New England.
Can you work with a committee or donor group?
Yes. Concept materials can be prepared for review, and feedback can be organized into deliberate revision stages so the project remains focused.
Do you handle foundations and installation?
Each project is different. Hercworx can plan anchoring and installation and coordinate with your facilities team, engineer, contractor or local site crew.
What budget and timeline should we expect?
Scale, material, finish, engineering and site logistics all affect cost. Starting with a target budget and desired installation date makes the first conversation productive.
