Initiation 2017 @ SIERAAD Amsterdam + Athens Artist Residence/Extreme Culture+Jewellery Trip.

Open call for 6 international jewellery artists who want to participate in Sieraad Amsterdam (9-12 November) with Initiation 2017.

Initiation is a series of jewellery art exhibitions inspired by the impact of ancient culture and mysteries on contemporary life. The first group show Initiation 2017 just took place during Munich Jewellery Week 2017 (8-11 March) and was featuring in Current Obsession's "Critic's choices".

Initiation follows the succesful show series "Myths" (Berlin 2013/Hamburg 2014/Munich Jewellery Week 2015/ Sieraad 2015/Munich Jewellery Week 2016/Grassimesse Leipzig 2016/ Sieraad 2016) which was dedicated in promoting Greek jewellery abroad.

For more information, please visit: http://www.initiation2017.com andhttp://www.myths2015.de and http://www.testdrive2016.tk andhttp://www.leaveyourcrisis.com

How it works?

We invite you to visit Athens, explore the endless possibilities of an archaic and still vibrant culture, discover its ancient, medieval and modern treasures, meet local makers&artists and design a new series of jewellery inspired by your experiences of a city that never sleeps.
This NEW jewellery is your participation in our curated exhibition "Initiation 2017" at Sieraad Amsterdam, 9-12 November 2017.

Athens also called "New Berlin" for its undiscovered possibilities to develop and show art work is the place to be for international artists and designers, as the Greek capital gets ready to co-host DOKUMENTA 2017 Kassel-Athens from April 9 to July 15. However, the ones who cannot make it before July 15 will not be disappointed: the best is yet to come as Post-Dokumenta Athens is scheduling a systmatic approach to promotng art and the city with myriad of shows and events that will not let you get bored!
