2020 WEAR | contemporary jewelry

Contemporary jewelry is made to be worn; to live out in the world on a person, where it is seen and considered, existing alongside other adornments that shape and reflect personal style. To put on a piece of jewelry is to make it whole, to participate in its completion, and to become a wearer of art.

Artists inspire us to be the vehicles for their work as we express ourselves through our clothing and jewelry choices. This exhibition endeavors to make connections between artist and wearer – to know their names, the inspiration behind the pieces, and the techniques used.

Forty-two artists are participating in our largest jewelry exhibition to date, featuring all of our currently represented jewelry artists and invited guests. The range of materials and processes used by these artists covers some new and unexpected territory, along with traditional techniques.
