The Metal Arts Society of Southern California (MASSC) Mystery Metals Challenge

Sat. September 17, 2022 – Opening and Artist Reception
5pm – 8pm

Show continues through Saturday, October 1, 2022!

Chemers Gallery is happy to be partnering with the Metal Arts Society of Southern California  (MASSC) for their Mystery Metals Challenge. This members-only event features participants who must create a piece of metal jewelry that fits within the scope of the surprise parameters they are given. The majority of the construction must be made of metal but can be composed of other materials as well such as gemstones and wood.

We are expecting around 25 artists to participate in this first in-person showing since the pandemic began. We are excited to host the event and for the opportunity to show the work of these fine metal artisans.

All works will be available for purchase and refreshments will be provided!
