Excellence in Artistic Casting Since 1994
Four decades transforming artistic visions into permanent bronze sculptures
Our Story
RUN Art Foundry was founded in 1994 by master founder Ramón Urquiza in Miami, Florida. With over 40 years of experience in artistic bronze casting, we have worked with internationally recognized artists to create sculptures ranging from gallery pieces to monumental public monuments.
Our foundry combines traditional lost-wax techniques with contemporary molding and finishing technology. Each project receives personalized attention from initial concept to final installation, ensuring that the artist's vision is preserved with the highest technical and artistic fidelity.
We specialize in small and large-scale bronze casting, restoration of historical sculptures, development of artistic patinas, and comprehensive technical consulting for complex sculptural projects.
