In a time when genuine interaction, community, and connection feel increasingly elusive, this exhibition invites us to engage, interact, and explore relationships. Makers Match invites artists and viewers to discover what emerges when we allow ourselves to be surprised by one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelected artists will each create three solo earrings: singular, unique works of art crafted in silver. Curators\/Jurors, Missy Graff Ballone and Katie Morrissey, will be pairing your work with a work by another participating artist, creating three matched sets for the exhibition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilver is the shared material and connective thread, while each artist’s individual approach, process, and vision remains their own. Artists will not know whose work they are paired with until opening night, when every pairing is revealed simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe invite artists working in silver to apply with wearable earrings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey dates\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSubmission deadline: October 5, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist notification: October 12, 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWork delivery deadline: November 9, 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExhibition dates: November 19–22, 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpening reception and pairing reveal: November 19, 2026 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelected artists will provide three individual silver earrings and a retail price for each individual earring or matched pair, as applicable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestions?
