This exhibition invites participants with strong voices in the field of contemporary art jewelry to display their works in a group show at Dedee Shattuck Gallery in Westport, MA. The practice of jewelry making has evolved alongside humans for thousands of years. Jewelry has progressed to a contemporary art form exhibited in museums and galleries across the globe. These artists have become powerful voices in contemporary art. This exhibit highlights standout contemporary jewelry artists who make works that are beyond decorative, perhaps beyond wearable who have a message to convey to viewers.
Dedee Shattuck Gallery is a contemporary art gallery situated among acres of meadows and forests. The Shattuck serves contemporary artists and craftspeople as well as the local and global art communities by providing compelling exhibitions, enriching cultural events, and a forum for the exchange of creative thought and critical discussion about the arts.
An esteemed jury will choose artwork based upon artistic excellence, innovation and originality.
