This exhibition showcases the artists’ studio work, which informs and inspires their participation in the Radical Jewelry Makeover. This exhibition is part of a year-long collaborative project between metalsmithing and jewelry design students and faculty from Indiana University Bloomington, Earlham College, Ball State University, Bowling Green University, Western Michigan University, and Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville – along with professional jewelers from Chicago’s Gallery 2052 Chicago, Indianapolis’ COMPANION, and the Muncie Arts and Culture Council / PlySpace Residency Program.

On January 12th, 2024, the Grunwald Gallery of Art at the Indiana University Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design will host an exhibition of Radical Jewelry, made by the same artists, through the RJM project. Additional exhibition and workshop opportunities will be presented throughout the year. A calendar of events is located at munciearts.org/rjm.
