OUR STORY
VMAA was established as a non-profit society in British Columbia in 2012 with the purpose of offering a forum for metalsmiths and jewellers to exchange ideas and technical information, organize exhibitions of metal work, and increase public awareness of metal arts.
The Vancouver Metal Arts Association (VMAA) is a community of metalsmiths, jewellers, blacksmiths, sculptors, mixed-media artists, enamelists, and others who work with metal or have an interest in the jewellery and metal arts.
Each member of VMAA decides what their level of involvement will be. Dues are collected to cover modest administrative costs.
