For this year’s community challenge, the BJC invited artists to create jewelry or personal objects that evoke a sense of place. How artists chose to interpret place may be political and speak of a sense of identity and nationality, may be personal and resonate with a sense of home, or may be associated with memory and imagination.
Participating artists are: Allison Gulick, Anna Melyakova, Banafsheh Hemmati, Carol Allen, Casey Claveria, Connie Alba Ambridge, Elizabeth English, J Taran Diamond, Jeanne Marie Martineau, Kate Connell, Maria Konschake, Mary Fissell, Maura Minter, Megan Obenaus, Melissa Lovingood, Mercury Swift, Meredith W. Gross, Mystery McIlvaine, Navah Langmeyer, Pallavi Verma, Sarah Parker, Seville Marina Meyn Partida, Sophie Maguire, and Vershali Jain.
