"A Bracelet, A Brooch and A Teapot Walk Into a Bar… "
Juror: Andy Cooperman
Identifying what makes us laugh is like trying to pinch a watermelon seed. Tricky business to be sure, especially when factoring in personal preference, political (in)correctness and culture. From highbrow to slapstick, anecdotal, ironic, mordant, dark or dry, artists have long used humor in their work as a mechanism to address the broader and often more difficult issues of society and life. This exhibition celebrates humor-- in any and all forms -- embodied in an object.
Entries may include work that honors humor even in the broadest sense while embracing the diverse field of metalworking and jewelry. Jewelry, vessels, utensils, installation, and sculpture will be considered. We encourage the use of a wide variety of materials and techniques.

Contemporary metalsmithing is a dynamic field, marked by ever-expanding possibilities for the creation and presentation of work. “Shifting Sites,” SNAG’s 2016 Juried Exhibition in Print produced by Metalsmith, will showcase works that explore the changing spaces of jewelry and metal objects as they are conceived, made, and displayed. Jurors Eva Eisler, Lauren Fensterstock, and Lori Talcott are seeking examples that address fluid boundaries in the production, subject matter, and siting of current metalwork and that creatively engage with their environment.

Typeset
Typeset is an exhibition exploring connections between jewelry and literature. Coinciding with ZOOM 2016, this project will build on our previous collaborative exhibition on this theme, Wordsmith, by setting literary-minded art jewelry objects into the Special Collections at the Golda Meir Library at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee.
Submissions are sought from jewelers who embrace text, story and history in their work. Selected works will be shown alongside literary objects drawn from the incredible catalogue of the Special Collections Library. By illuminating contexts, connections and modes of making, we aim to deepen our understanding of the places where jewelry and literature meet.
ZOOM Milwaukee is a Midwest symposium on contemporary craft and digital technologies. Hosted by UW-Milwaukee Jewelry & Metals, May 25-29, 2016. Find out more here.

With Moves like MacGyver...
It is no secret that makers + smiths are a crafty bunch! With moves like MacGyver will highlight jewelry, objects, and the tools created to make these pieces a reality. The exhibition will examine the creative processes of the individuals represented, giving viewers a glimpse at the processes these artists use to improvise, exquisitely craft, or get downright inventive to get the job done.
This is a traveling exhibition
