River Gallery is proud to present our ‘14th Annual Jewelry Invitational’, opening Saturday, October 21st, 2023 from 3-6pm. This highly anticipated yearly exhibition showcases a roster of artists both new and familiar to the gallery. It promises to be a diverse and spectacular celebration of work handcrafted by skilled artisans with a commitment to craftmanship and innovation.

Featuring works by: Agnes Seebass, Alice Allen, Chris Keener, Elisa Bongfeldt, Hilary Hachey, Jennifer Surine, Kirk Lang, Maria Pujana, Matthew Smith, Melissa O’Brien, Michelle Pajak-Reynolds, Morgan Hill, and Peter Antor

Whether you are looking for a statement necklace from veteran gallery artist Michelle Pajak-Reynolds, or a modern architectural ring from gallery new comer Peter Antor, this collection will have something that appeals to every aesthetic. CIA graduate and Saul Bell Design Award winner Kirk Lang, says of his pieces, “The wearable objects I create directly reflect my interest in astronomy and space exploration. The shapes, textures, materials and color palette found in the celestial environment are all elements that find their way into my work. Specific materials such as titanium, niobium and meteorite are chosen, as they are often used to construct components to explore space or naturally exist in space itself. In addition, diamonds and other gemstones are often used to compliment the unique properties of the aforementioned materials.” The exhibition will be on display both in-store and online beginning October 21st throughout the holiday season to accommodate all your gifting needs.

Located in Old River shopping area in Rocky River, Ohio, River Gallery is dedicated to promoting and sustaining artists with roots in Ohio.
