Metal: It’s Only Natural
MAG / NCEG / ACCI Gallery
All Member Show – October 2016

MAG NCEG ACCI

Metals are intense. Typically hard and shiny, they are strong but malleable. They can be stretched, fused, and drawn into fine wire. They can be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking. They readily carry electricity and heat. Their atoms are in a virtual “sea” of outer electrons that jump from atom to atom. They are stable but possess the ability to change. We depend on their unique natural qualities for industry, commerce… and for art.

For the 2016 MAG / NCEG / ACCI exhibit, all members are invited to create jewelry and sculptural works that explore the boundaries, integration / collision, and diversity of the natural qualities of metal as well as its relation to the natural world. Jewelry, sculpture, conceptual pieces, and works that explore every aspect of Metal are welcome.
