Meet the robots.

The Articulate Robots of Chris Mora showcases a collection of playful, handcrafted sculptures that blend engineering, artistry, and imagination. Built from steel, stainless steel, and brass, each articulated robot is full of personality, inviting viewers to slow down, look closer, and reconnect with a sense of wonder.

From the towering Goldie greeting visitors outside the Astor House to the intricate details found throughout the exhibition, Chris Mora’s work proves that metal can be both technically impressive and delightfully fun.

On view through July 26 at Foothills Art Center.
