ArtSpeaks: Tiffany Dubin on The Intersection of Art & Jewelry

Friday, April 25, 6 – 7 PM

Tiffany Dubin, a specialist in artist jewelry, explores the transformative era of jewelry design post-World War II. Dubin will guide the audience through the evolution of the artist jewelry movement, highlighting how it challenged and expanded the conventional boundaries of how jewelry is both perceived and worn. This movement not only changed the craft, but also altered our very interaction with jewelry, transforming it from a mere symbol of status into a profound medium for unique artistic statements. Discover how this bold reimagining continues to influence our aesthetic and cultural landscape today.
