DESTINATION BIJOU (Contemporary Art Jewellery week of Cagnes-sur-mer, France) is launching an exhibition to be held in the Contemporary Jewellery Museum Espace Solidor from June 4th to September 20th, 2026.
The exhibition theme is "Sparkle/Eclat" and each artist may submit their own vision of this multifaceted subject.
Often associated with brilliance, glamour, or the gleam of precious stones, sparkle can also be subtle, conceptual, emotional, or metaphorical. We encourage artists to push beyond the obvious and investigate every possible resonance of the word, visible or invisible, literal or symbolic.
