Refined: Abundance is a juried exhibition that will take place January 25-March 7, 2008 in a 1332 square-foot gallery of the beautifully renovated The Art Center at The Old Opera House, located in downtown Nacogdoches, Texas. Refined is a biannual exhibition of jewelry and metalwork hosted by the School of Art at Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA) since 1998. The juror is seeking innovative responses to the concept of “abundance” and its formal and conceptual manifestations in the medium of jewelry. The theme should be understood in the broadest of terms, seeking to accommodate a range of work–from flamboyant to a more quiet expression–while responding to the theme conceptually or formally.

This exhibition is open to any artists whose jewelry responds to the theme: abundance. All work must be original and completed within the last two years. Submitted works are open to a full range of processes and materials. Deadline: 1 October 2007. For more information and entry form, go to: www.art.sfasu.edu.
