A Biennial Collaborative Exhibition by ACCI Gallery and Metal Arts Guild
As artists, our work is fundamentally about bridges and connections --- Between our imagination and our skill. Between concept and finished piece. Between artist and viewer. As metal artists, we convert our creative ideas into visible form. In both inner and outer spheres, we must bridge between the wild abandon of inspiration and the careful conscious work within the constraints of the materials, time, and our craft. Often the result of this creative tension is a bridge to an unexpected, unique piece of art.
Members of MAG and ACCI are invited to submit works that feature metal arts. The exhibition is an exciting chance for you and all of us to explore whatever creative images come to mind for you as we create magical connections. Jewelry, sculpture, conceptual pieces, and works that explore every aspect of Metal are welcome. The ACCI Gallery in Berkeley has been a great place for us to host exhibitions over the years.
