CHAINReaction: HANDSHAKES at the Refinery
27 Mar - 17 Apr
27 Mar - 17 Apr

The exhibition at Refinery ArtSpace, Nelson celebrates this milestone with 49 artists who directly and indirectly were associated with the project. They all make a HANDSHAKE by contributing to a continues necklace. Each link will be a highlight and celebrates connectivity and communication.
HANDSHAKE is a mentoring and exhibition project with a continuing progressive programme that over the years has benefited a great number of NZ emerging jewellery artists. It gave these artists extended creative energies and network opportunities. |
HANDSHAKE can be described as an experimental bridge that connects emerging artists with professional practice. Mentors came out from all over the world with a helping hand for those asking for it. The HANDSHAKE exhibitions were at national and international locations; with a couple at highly respected spaces.
Its success can be described through its collective contribution and sharing nature. HANDSHAKE project is funded by Creative New Zealand and managed by MAKERS 101. |
