Legnica Silver Festival
Organized by the Gallery of Art in Legnica (Poland) since 1979, SILVER Festival is renowned for championing artistic experimentation and innovation in jewellery design. Its key initiative, the International Jewellery Competition, attracts artists from around the world, encouraging creative exploration in the field. The upcoming edition of the event will take place on May 9-10, 2025, under the theme WOW Effect!

The Gallery also holds the International Collection of Contemporary Jewellery, which consist of nearly 500 unique pieces from artists worldwide. This impressive collection reflects the evolution of contemporary jewellery and serves as a testament to the diversity of artistic expression in this field. At the booth B1.739 in the Frame section, discover nearly 30 exquisite "treasures" from this extraordinary collection, each a testament to the artistry and innovation that define Legnica's legacy.

Meanwhile, the presence of Polish designers at the Munich fair, which has been incidental until now, will be highlighted at the "Unnecessary" exhibition, organized by Sławomir Fijałkowski and Arek Wolski.



UNNECESSARY is a curatorial project by Professor Sławomir Fijałkowski and Arek Wolski, bringing together 18 jewellery artists. The exhibition explores the impact of technological advancements on artistic creation – will new tools elevate the artist’s work, or will they lead to creative stagnation? The project highlights the irreplaceable role of human craftsmanship in the age of digitalization.

Participants: Arek Wolski, Sławomir Fijałkowski, Eva Fernandez Martos, Jacek Byczewski, Paweł Kaczyński, Peter Machata, Marcin Bogusław, Jarosław Westermark, Aya Iwata, Małgorzata Kalińska, Adriana Lisowska, Eszter Sàra Kocsor, Bogumił Bytomski, Bartosz Chmielewski, Eero Hintsanen, Jolanta Gazda, Martyna Golińska, Nanna Melland.

  Technology has just provided us with plenty of great tools, along with a mind that offers ready-made visions and designs. It’s incredibly fascinating whether the human-creator will use this support to leap forward and grow, or whether the opposite will happen, turning creator into a lazy consumer.

The near future may hold surprises, but that’s tomorrow! Today, let’s celebrate the works of people of flesh and blood.

Ladies and gentlemen, here are 18 artists and their works!
