CALL FOR ENTRY: UNEARTHED (VMAA 2022 Group Exhibition)

Call for Entry:

The Vancouver Metal Arts Association would like to invite jewellers and metal artists to submit finished works to be considered for our 2022 exhibition ‘Unearthed’. The exhibition will take place at the Craft Council of BC gallery space from March 3 to April 29, 2022.

We ask artists to mine through changes to their studio practices, to dig back into past ideas lost along the way, to excavate the old into something new and to reveal the discoveries they have made. ‘Unearthed’ offers an opportunity to reveal your inspirational ideas, various initial attempts, and finally, those processes employed in the creation of a new piece of art - jewelle
