Radical Jewelry Makeover Artist Project

Our first jewelry exhibition of many to come opens Saturday, July 22nd, 2023.

We are honored to have work from the Radical Jewelry Makeover Artist Project. Radical Jewelry Makeover (RJM) is a project of Ethical Metalsmiths that raises awareness of the connection between mining, metalsmithing, activism, collaboration, and art. It involves volunteer "miners," "smelters," "refiners," jewelers, and metalsmiths working together to create a new and transparent supply chain. The work we are showing is a part of the Radical Jewelry Makeover Artist Project. For this series, artists, who were all past participants of RJM, were asked to create a series of work using donated jewelry left over from previous donation drives. The artists are invited to dive more deeply into the motivations and questions of Radical Jewelry Makeover. Artists participating in this exhibition are Julia Barello, Angela Bubash, Melissa Cameron, Kat Cole, Sarah Parker, and Adam Whitney. 

Join us for the Radical Jewelry Makeover Artist Project. 

Opening reception Saturday, July 22nd, from 12 pm to 4 pm.

The exhibition will be on view during regular business hours from Saturday, July 22nd, until Friday, August 18th, 2023.
