A Hidden Gem of the Hudson Valley

In a quiet corner of Orange County, towering metallic sculptures stand sentinel in an open field. These mysterious creations offer no hint of their origins—until you glance across the road. There, a 90,000-square-foot building houses UAP, a fine art foundry with a storied history and unmatched craftsmanship.

From producing Oscar statuettes to monumental works for artists like Frank Stella, UAP is where tradition meets cutting-edge technology. Sand-casting processes, digital sculpting, and decades of knowledge handed down through master artisans come together to create art that’s as seamless as the artist’s vision.

But beyond its art-making prowess, UAP is deeply connected to the local community—collaborating with galleries, supporting emerging artists, and leaving its mark on iconic installations like Storm King Art Center’s "Fallen Sky."

Uncover the full story of this hidden gem, its legacy, and the art world secrets it guards behind closed doors. Read more
