The Weber Group fabricated portions of the new interactive exhibit Hands-On Harley-Davidson at the Betty Brinn Children’s Museum in Milwaukee, WI. To see Weber work in action, check out these videos from Milwaukee’s local television stations here and here.

This month, Gallopalooza, a Louisville event that brings together local artists and local businesses, announced its 2014 project.  Weber Group was mentioned in an article written by The Courier-Journal about Gallopalooza’s plans.  In 2009 the Weber Group provided design and fabrication services for all Gallopalooza statue blanks.  The blanks became artists canvasses for the civic pride event.  There were over 200 Gallopalooza statues on Louisville streets and Weber artists embellished a small number of them, which were then donated for an auction to raise money for a highway beautification project for Metro Louisville’s Operation Brightside.

April Fools’ Day marked the 30th Anniversary of brothers Tom and Donny Weber being in the design/build business together. While their hairstyles might have changed, their dedication to customers has not. These brothers have continued to work together to create quality design/build projects that satisfy customer needs, and that’s no joke.

This globe was fabricated in the Weber Shop and decorated with artwork made by students.

The Weber Gallery in downtown Louisville is currently holding an NEA funded exhibition as part of the Compassionate Louisville project titled The Striped Show from Friday, April 12- Friday, May 31 to honor the diversity within the Louisville Community. Sixteen Louisville artists of all cultures, races and beliefs are displaying their artwork, in addition to twenty schools and organizations. The Weber Group fabricated a floor-to-ceiling revolving globe which is included in the exhibition and features the artwork of students from several schools. Louisville artists in the exhibition include Ed Hamilton, C.J. Pressma, Carlos Gamez de Francisco and our very own Donny Weber.

The Weber Gallery is located at 1151 South Fourth Street. For more information visit the Weber Gallery here.

The Weber Group is proud to be the builder of an exciting adaptive reuse project at the old East Corbin School in Eastern Kentucky. The project includes 32 units of multifamily housing. Together with architect Steve Kersey we will be working to bring this important structure back to life. Located in Appalachia, Corbin has a high unemployment rate and a number of abandoned structures. By transforming the school into this new affordable apartment building, 33 local jobs will be created and what had become an abandoned eye sore will become an important structure in Corbin. The Greater Corbin Housing Apartments are set to open in the spring of 2014. To learn more about this housing project click here.

A 50 foot Weber-created Megalodon shark found its home at the Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but not before making a splash on the news. As this giant prehistoric shark made it’s way to Florida, CBS Miami captured some footage of the shark traveling on the highway. The news story can be viewed here.

Designed by Roto Studio, the Weber Group worked with our friends at LifeFormations to create this giant prehistoric creature. The Prehistoric Florida exhibit, which is currently on display, allows visitors to experience Florida 65 million years ago. Visitors can learn about the effects of melting glaciers on sea levels and explore the flora, fauna and animals of prehistoric Florida. For more information about the exhibit click here.

There will soon be a new KESA sculpture at Kentucky’s Rupp Arena. Using our CNC 5 Point Router, the Weber Group cut out the spilled paint seen below that will compliment a realistic figure of a man who lost his balance and spilled his paint. The neon green paint, the KESA’s signature color, is seen “dripping” down the walls and onto the floor below. The next time you’re making your way through Rupp Arena, watch your head!
