to be : (determined) – an exhibition of the first five

DESCRIPTION:

There is an adage in the art world: the first five years are the hardest and the most critical. If you keep making (and making strides) in the first years of an art career, you are likely to succeed and commit to a life of sustained practice. This exhibition showcases artists within the 'first five': it is an exhibition which offers a moment to encourage momentum, and is an occasion to recognize new developments in the field of jewelry and metalsmithing.
