Open Call for the XVI International Baltic Jewellery Show Amber Trip

Amber Trip Jewellery Art Contest 2019
RANDOM RAPID HEARTBEATS

What bothers people today in their personal, communal and global life? What do artists notice and which topics reach their minds and hearts? Which internal and external things make their heart beat faster? Maybe a strong truth or a complete lie? Maybe a threat? Infringement. Provocation. Paradox. Fright or pressure. Maybe just a physical fear of heart attack or death. Or maybe the opposite –  happy ending and laughter...
Jewellery scale is not dangerous – the audience feels like a giant in front of a small piece of jewel, but is it really true? We invite artists to express their ideas.

Competition awards:
Grand Prix
Award in the category of amber works
Award in the category of objects
Award in the category of jewellery
Award of the audience
