Intro
With the support of Donner Gallery, Munich, Clodagh Molloy invites submissions for Fertile Ground, an exhibition running throughout March 2025.
Coinciding with Munich Jewellery Week / Schmuck 2025, this show explores creation, nurturing, and transformation through jewellery, sculpture, body adornment, and writing. This exhibition's intention is to delve into the fertile space where ideas of motherhood, care, and creation converge while also acknowledging the pressures and challenges that accompany these roles. Including the choice not to pursue parenthood.

Clodagh Molloy is seeking works from Artists, Makers and Writers alike who engage with the act of making, nurturing, and creating in their artistic practice. The exhibition invites reflection on how fertility, in all its forms, inspires creativity and how the act of nurturing, whether of life, ideas, or art,  shapes personal and artistic expression.

Selected works will be showcased in the gallery windows and featured in a publication documenting the exhibition’s themes and findings.


Submission Guidelines:
For Artists:
  • Submit images of up to 5 relevant works on a white background. (jewellery, sculpture, body adornment, or photography). File name layout: Name-title-year and should be in .jpeg format. 2000px x 2000px min.
