The Quincy Smelter continues to generate interest from a number of groups and individuals. In October 2009, I had the pleasure of leading a group of artists from the Copper Country Community Art Center through the smelter to sketch and photograph the site. The Art Center holds an annual competition of works based on the Quincy No.2 shaft-rockhouse, and last year the focus of the contest was expanded to include the smelter. Be sure to visit the Art Center in December 2010 to see what sort of inspiration the artists drew from the smelter this year!
