Glossy - Ombré Gallery

The Glossy exhibition features contemporary art jewelry inspired by images and messages presented in fashion magazines. Glossies serve as vital communication tools in the fashion industry, conveying designers' visions and forecasting trends in beauty, color, texture, pattern, and form. Editorials address celebrity, art, films, literature, social issues, and current events. The exhibition aims to bring attention, curiosity, and playfulness to art jewelry while providing an educational experience for attendees.

Artists selected will create 3 pieces of jewelry, including a brooch, interpreting subject matter from fashion glossies such as beauty, runway, fashion, design, celebrity, and social issues. The entry fee is $45 USD (non-refundable). Submissions were due by February 14, 2019, with acceptance notifications emailed by February 28, 2019. Finished work must be received by April 5, 2019. Artists are responsible for all shipping and insuring costs.

The exhibition opens at JCK Las Vegas in the Plumb Club Pavilion from May 31 – June 3, 2019, and will tour throughout the United States, including Ombré Gallery from June 21 – August 23, 2019. Selected artists must submit digital work images in TIFF format, a signed consignment agreement, an inventory sheet with piece details and retail price, an artist statement about the jewelry, a quality artist photo in TIFF format, and answers to interview questions regarding background, inspiration, and creative process. All materials must be submitted to [email protected] by April 5, 2019.
