After seven consecutive exhibitions, the goal of the VIII CONTEMPORARY GOLDSMITHING EXHIBITION remains to be the international diffusion and promotion of contemporary gold smithing and jewellery design. Thus, the VIII CONTEMPORARY GOLDSMITHING EXHIBITION presented by AdOC (Asociación de Diseñadores de Orfebrería y Joyería Contempánea) will take place at the National Museum of Decorative Arts of Madrid within the Madrid Design Festival, simultaneously with the Art week ARCO. Singular exhibitions in the main museums in Madrid complete a tour around the city.
The exhibition has an international nature, allowing contemporary goldsmiths and jewel designers from every nationality to participate. Artists may submit up to 5 separate finished artworks (or a collection of pieces belonging to a set). The Jury will select a maximum of 3 pieces by each designer to be exhibited, corresponding to the categories of Contemporary Goldsmith and/or Jewellery. All pieces must be singular or limited series. All materials are acceptable, but at least 25% must be made or plated in fine metals.
