New Call for Art! Emerge - San Diego Jewelry Lab’s Juried Spring Exhibition
|
As the sun warms the earth, green things emerge, slowly unfolding their leaves.
As the cold winds depart, wild animals emerge, leaving their winter dens. As the vaccines arrive, we too emerge, hugging friends and revisiting normalcy. In this time and place, like none we've ever known, what does it mean to emerge? San Diego Jewelry Lab invites all jewelry/metals arts artists to enter their work in our upcoming online exhibit "Emerge". Pieces will be juried by metalsmith and instructor Bette Barnett and Jewelry Lab co-owners Anne Wolf and Ame Stanko on craftsmanship, creativity and use of the theme and our panel of instructor judges will award prizes for the best submissions. Exhibition is open to metalsmiths worldwide. Work can be any size; wearable, functional, or sculptural; made within the last year. Artists are welcome to offer their work for sale with no commission - buyers will be able to contact artists directly. All accepted entries will be featured on our website and social media feeds and at Metal Arts Adventures, our live online show (great for search engine optimization). Entry fee: $10 per entry, limit 3 entries per person. |

Live online opening reception and awards ceremony 6/17/21 at our June Metal Arts Adventure. Online Show Dates 6/8/21-7/20/21 Six weeks on SanDiegoJewelryLab.com. |
