contemporary Western Canadian jewelry and wearable art scene. We are
looking for a broad spectrum of practice. We are seeking work which
ranges from fine jewelers’ precious gem work to radical and
experimental body wear. This is the first such survey of designer
jewelry and art jewelry in Calgary in over 25 years. The works shine
a light on the vigorous community of world class jewelers and jewelry
artists in Western Canada. All are invited to apply.
