Material Revelation Exhibition

WHERE: Cabarrus Arts Council @cabarrusartscouncil
65 Union St S, Concord, NC

EXHIBITION DATES: April 25 - July 7, 2024
OPENING RECEPTION: April 25th, 5-7pm

Material Revelation explores the work of 20 Contemporary Art Jewelers using an array of non-traditional materials such as textiles, dirt, recycled plastic, tin cans, etc. Raising questions such as, "What is Jewelry?" and "What is it made of?"

As a wearable work of art, each of the art jewelry pieces featured in Material Revelation questions preciousness, wearability, form, and style while exploring social and environmental issues through experimentation, and storytelling. Contemporary Art Jewelry as a form of communication takes the viewer and wearer to a new perspective of what jewelry can be.

Sponsored by the Hilliard Family Foundation.

RESTORATIVE YOGA is an inward and quiet practice using props to support the body in positions of comfort and ease, held low to the ground in stillness for periods of time. In this deep resting state, your nervous system comes into balance, tension in the body releases, and your brain can rest and repair. It has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve anxiety and improve sleep. When you are rested, everything is better!
