Chemers Gallery is excited to be partnering with the Metal Arts Society of Southern California (MASSC)  their Mystery Metals Challenge for a 3rd year.

This year’s theme is Time. The concept of Time is something we interact with every day, but it is also something that can inspire deep thoughts and big questions about ourselves and our place in the universe. Time can be simple and straightforward or arbitrary and abstract. It will be interesting to see each artists interpretation of Time.

Tasked with making something wearable or functional from a mystery box of supplies from Rio Grande Jewelry Supply, MASSC members create the unusual. This year’s box contained a variety of supplies including Brass, Copper, Amethyst, a vintage watch crystal, silver chain & sterling silver wire. They could add any other metals & 1 wild card item. With 23 participating artisans, the Metals Challenge Exhibition will be diverse and impressive!

Join us at Chemers Gallery for the opening reception Saturday October 5th from 5p-8p to meet the artists.

Show continues through October 19th.

All works will be available for purchase.
