Radical Jewelry Makeover: Baltimore is a community jewelry mining and recycling project. The project breathes new life into unwanted or discarded jewelry by challenging artists to utilize donated jewelry to make new work.
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.
