METAL Inclinations

METAL Inclinations: An International Online Juried Exhibition of Metalwork, Jewelry and Metal Sculpture.

METAL Inclinations:
Inclination: {Aptitude, tendency, disposition, penchant, prejudice, direction, leaning, incline, preference.}

METAL Inclinations should encourage creative license and elicit a variety of work incorporating metal techniques. ALL pieces should incorporate metal and use metalsmithing, silversmithing or goldsmithing.

THE SOCIETY FOR MIDWEST METALSMITHS was founded in 1995 as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to educating, inspiring and promoting excellence in metalsmithing and jewelry.

SMM provides a newsletter, workshops, lectures, juried exhibitions, a web site with a Members' Gallery and a friendly exchange of ideas for its members. Membership is open to all, without regard to race, religion, sex, or national origin. All applicants to the Metal Inclinations exhibition are welcome to join.

For over a decade the Society for Midwest Metalsmiths has continued its mission to exhibit and educate on the fine art of metalsmithing. SMM has proudly produced National metal exhibitions entitled: “Hey, These Things Just Snap Right Off” in 2006, with Andy Cooperman as the juror; “Stone/s” in 2004 with C. James Meyers as juror; “METAL Departures” in 2001, with Pat Flynn as juror, "Talismans for the Coming Millennium" in 1999 with Elinore Moty as juror and "At the Table" in 1997. These exhibitions have all been well received and helped to educate a new generation of metalsmiths. With the "METAL Inclinations" Online Exhibition SMM intends to reach more metalsmiths and jewelers on a international level.
