RADICAL JEWELRY MAKEOVER
Gallery 2052 is collaborating with the artist-run nonprofit Ethical Metalsmiths to stage The Chicago Professional Artist Edition of 'Radical Jewelry Makeover'.
Last fall, we asked members of our community to donate their unwanted jewelry in an effort to highlight an ecologically-friendly alternative supply chain to traditional mining. A volunteer group of 28 local artists sorted the haul, and found inspiring materials to upcycle into fresh pieces. The new, responsibly-sourced jewelry, ranging from Art Jewelry to Fine, will be available for purchase at the culminating exhibition opening May 3, from 4-9pm at Gallery 2052! Join us to meet many of the artists and prepare to be wowed by their ingenuity!
