Support MFA Metal Students To Attend Schmuck 2016

Schmuck, also known as Munich Jewellery Week, is an internationally renowned week-long art jewelry fair in Munich, Germany taking place from February 24th to March 3rd 2016. Annually held for over fifty years, Schmuck is attended by over a hundred thousand makers, designers, dealers and collectors that come to experience the over eighty individual exhibitions, lectures, and events throughout Munich in conjunction with Schmuck.

This Indiegogo campaign is run by, and will directly benefit the six MFA candidates in Metal from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC): Clare Finin and Jina Seo (3rd years), Evin Dubois and Caitlin Skelcey (2nd years), Akiceri Alejandra (Ale) Carrillo-Estrada and Christina (Tina) McNealy (1st years). As graduate students preparing to enter the professional world of Metals and Jewelry, we realize the importance of professional networking that attending Schmuck would provide, as well as the creative inspiration from seeing such a diverse and international range of work.

Why We Need YOUR Help

We estimate that we need in excess of $2,500 per person to cover our travel, lodging, food, and miscellaneous costs to be able to attend Schmuck. As a student group we have been working on raising funds for over a year through hosting auctions of original work on Facebook, participating in jewelry sales throughout our region, holding campus specific events such as “Make your own Keychain” sales and face painting during football weekends, and through applying to individual and group grants and fellowships. We have been thrilled at the amount of support from our professional field and our campus community, but there is still a large gap between what we have raised so far and what is needed. We are hoping that by reaching out, we will receive aid to help us attend Schmuck and take advantage of this professional and creative opportunity.
