The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) celebrates the craft of artist-made jewelry with MAD About Jewelry 2020, virtual shows and sales of more than 40 of the world’s most innovative contemporary jewelry artists. Small groups of artists will show their work on the museum’s website, then every two weeks, the artists will rotate and jewelry by a new group will be featured for sale.
In partnership with NYC Jewelry Week, MAD About Jewelry curator Bryna Pomp will join artists Tara Locklear, Anna Porcu, Vania Ruiz, and Katrin Zimmermann in conversation. Bryna and the artists will discuss each person’s very distinctive signature style; the pivot of having to strategize how to sell their work without in-person events; the necessity of having to devote much more of their working time to these issues; what buying jewelry can signify during challenging times like the present; and how this pause has affected their creativity.
