Baltimore Jewelry Center Graduate Exhibition | Opening Reception

The Baltimore Jewelry Center is proud to present its third annual Graduate Exhibition, celebrating the next generation of jewelers and metalsmiths. The exhibition will be on view in the BJC’s gallery in the Station North Arts & Entertainment District (10 E. North Ave.) from August 14, 2026 through September 25, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Friday, August 14, from 5–8 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Featuring artists completing both undergraduate and graduate degree programs, the exhibition reflects the breadth of contemporary jewelry education through a diverse range of materials, concepts, and making practices, highlighting emerging voices at a pivotal moment in their artistic development.

This year’s exhibition features the work of 13 artists selected by the BJC’s seven-member Exhibitions Committee, representing undergraduate and graduate programs at 12 institutions across the United States and abroad. Participating artists include: Grace Barden, 

Taney Basinger, Stina Eknert, Jake Jessop, Cole Kamerick, Stella Lee, Weiwei Li, Larissa McPherson, Ryan Moyer, Ella Parker-Harley, Olivia Plummer, Sarah Roberts, and Ryan Seng.

“As a school for metalworking, growth  and learning are central to everything we do here at the Baltimore Jewelry Center,” said J Diamond, Director of Education. “Since we house one of the only art jewelry galleries in the Mid-Atlantic, we really appreciate the opportunity to showcase emerging artists from all over the world and celebrate them as they step out of the classroom and into their careers as makers.”
