Hope is Resiliency
This SNAG Member Exhibition explores how the participants define the resiliency of hope through their creative practice. The in-person exhibition was juried by Nora McCarthy, owner of Gallery 2052, and curator Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy with an emphasis on showcasing SNAG’s diverse membership: in materials and aesthetics, levels of experience and background. Both one-of-kind statement pieces and production-style work are included. The online exhibition features 251 works by 148 artists.

🚨 Open Call Alert 🚨

"Metalsmith" magazine is seeking submissions for our first editorial photography call 📷 What does photography have in common with adornment?
.
"The way artist-made objects are documented and presented continues to evolve. Beyond technological developments, the ubiquity of social media and the necessity of presenting work to online audiences has shifted the style and range of presentations of jewelry, adornment, and metalwork."
.
Submit your creatively styled images of artist-made jewelry, adornment, and metalsmithing in all forms and materials that tell a story and present works outside of the typical white background by May 1st, 2023.
