KORU is an international contemporary jewellery triennial organized now for the fifth time. The main purpose of the event is to present widely international contemporary jewellery and bring together the artists, lecturers, researchers and people with interest in contemporary jewellery to take part in exhibition, seminar and workshops. The start of the KORU5 event takes place in Imatra, Finland, autumn 2015. The KORU5 is organized by the Finnish Jewellery Art Association.

The call for applications for the KORU5 exhibition met a great success. The final outcome was a selection of 51 artists, the highest number of participants in the history of KORU exhibitions. By this selection the jury wanted to show the multidimensionality of jewellery art and what is happening in the field at this very moment. The members of the honoured jury were Helena Lehtinen; Jewellery Artist, Katarina Siltavuori; Art, Design & Contemporary Craft - Curator & Consultant and Jyrki Siukonen; Artist, Senior Research Fellow, University of Arts, Helsinki.
