The Ornamenta auction will go live on January 27th and close on February 8th. Guests are able to participate both online and in person at our Ornamenta fundraiser!
The Baltimore Jewelry Center is an educational nonprofit building a vibrant creative community for the study and practice of metalsmithing and art jewelry. We educate and inspire new and established artists, as well as promote metalsmithing and art jewelry to the general public through exhibitions, community and educational outreach.
Our organization is dependent on fundraising and donations to operate our educational and studio rental program. These funds allow us to offer our classes and workshops at a below-market rate while paying our instructors competitive wages. Furthermore, this revenue allows us to offer free workshops in our neighborhood in Station North, operate our residency program, offer scholarships, provide programming for kids and teens, and host prestigious exhibitions that present the work of local, national and international artists.
You can support our mission and programming by bidding on the items in our auction. You can also support directly by giving to our Fund A Need causes at the bottom of this page. We hope you will bid high and bid often! Auction bidding begins on January 27th at 5:00 pm EST and ends on Saturday, February 8th at 10:30 pm EST.
You can also support the BJC during Ornamenta by purchasing raffle tickets!
