SNAG's Main Office Has a New Location 

SNAG's main office, located in Eugene, Oregon, moved last week to a new space. We didn't move far -- just to the building next door; but it took a couple months of planning. Much of SNAG's archival information, including years of Metalsmith magazines and newsletters, are located in the business office; along with a lot of the management, bookkeeping, and conference materials.

SNAG now has a PO Box. Please update your records and send all mail, including membership renewals and donations to:
PO Box 1355, Eugene OR 97440

Deadline This Week

Call for Related Work 
For SNAG's 2015 "Exhibition in Print," curator Wendy Steiner seeks out metal objects-jewelry, sculpture, tools, gadgets-from any culture, that incite revelatory responses in their viewers.  While with jewelry the beauty of an object almost inherently involves an interaction with its audience/wearer, other metal objects can be as programmatically interactive. Deadline: January 15, 2015.
