 Unique by Design: Contemporary Jewelry in the Donna Schneier Collectionat The Metropolitan Museum, to August 31, 2014
This exhibition provides a close look at more than eighty pieces that came to The Metropolitan Museum of Art through a significant 2007 gift from collector Donna Schneier. The pieces-designed by some eighty-eight artists from seventeen countries-date from the 1960s to the present and include the work of modern master jewelers such as Thomas Gentille, William Harper, Mary Lee Hu, Hermann Junger, Gijs Bakker, and Peter Chang, as well as avant-garde jewelry makers Robert Baines, Ted Noten, and Lola Brooks, all of whom have contributed to the creative revolution in contemporary jewelry design.
at the MAD Museum, to September 14, 2014
Multiple Exposures: Jewelry and Photography is the first museum exhibition to explore how contemporary jewelry artists transform and add new meaning to the pervasive images of this digital age. Drawing inspiration from historic daguerreotypes to manipulated digital images, international jewelry artists explore changing views of beauty and the human body; examine social, political, and cultural issues; probe perceptions of memory and desire; and question the broader relation of jewelry to society and personal identity, issues central to the contemporary experience.
More than 80 renowned artists from over 20 countries are represented-including Gijs Bakker, Wafaa Bilal, Jordan Doner, Mari Ishikawa, Jiro Kamata, Sooyeon Kim, Iris Nieuwenburg, Kara Ross, Gabriela Sanchez, Bernhard Schobinger, Bettina Speckner, Joyce Scott, Kiff Slemmons, Andy Warhol and Noa Zilberman.

SNAG Welcomes International Guild of Wire Jewelry Artists!
We are happy to announce that this summer the Society of North American Goldsmiths is welcoming the International Guild of Wire Jewelry Artists into our ranks! The International Guild of Wire Jewelry was established in 2004 to promote wire art jewelry, seek public recognition of the art form, educate wire artists, and to improve business aspects of the art. Unfortunately they have decided to close their doors and donate their funds to SNAG.
As SNAG has always been always welcomed metal artists from across the diverse maker spectrum, we are honored to include this dedicated and talented group into our mix. Please welcome and connect with our newest members as they join us online and in person!
