WE ARE SNAG: (Up)Setting the Stone Call for Entries 
As the third juried member exhibition in the WE ARE SNAG series, (Up)Setting the Stone is an exhibition looking for your interpretation of settings. Stonesetting has been utilized in some of the earliest known jewelry. There are thousands of variations based on a few different techniques. Whether used traditionally with gemstones, applied to new materials, or even explored as a concept, this exhibition focuses on the setting. Submissions such as jewelry, objects, vessels, sculpture, and architecture will be considered, but are not limited to these categories. Deadline: September 15, 2016. Learn more and submit an entry>>>
