The Jewellery Art Association was founded in Lappeenranta in 2005. The association aims to promote contemporary jewellery in Finland and to improve its recognition as an art and design form. Another goal of the association is to increase awareness about Finnish jewellery internationally. As means towards those ends, the association organizes exhibitions, presentations and discussion panels, and distributes information about events. At the moment association has 88 members, most of them professional artists or designers.
As the Circuit Bijou -project the Finnish Jewellery Art Association will show the Finnish contemporary jewellery in pop-up exhibition at a kiosk in the area of Bastille. The aim is to show the pieces in familiar surroundings, close to people and in their actual purpose to make it possible for the audience to perceive the very essential of contemporary jewellery.
