If you need the perfect gift for someone stellar this holiday — especially if it’s just you — you’ll find it at the Annual Jewelry Show from The Metal Arts Guild of Georgia (MAGG). The volunteer guild of 317 metalsmiths who call the Greater Atlanta area home is the most prominent metalsmithing organization of its kind in the Southeast.

A holiday tradition, the Metal Arts Sale from MAGG is the largest local artisan jewelry event in Atlanta this year. This year’s event’s premier sponsor is Picup Media, the maker of the world's first smartphone jewelry lightbox, the GemLightbox. Picup Media works with over 15,000 jewelers globally since their inception in Sydney in 2014.

Co-Chairs for the 2022 event are Elizabeth Duke and Ann Bassarab.

Thirty-three (33) of the Guild’s outstanding artists, ranging from students to professionals and nationally recognized metalsmiths, will showcase their most exciting pieces, representing a wide assortment of styles, techniques and prices. To see some of the participating artists and their work, visit metalartsguildga.org/mjs. Admission and parking are free.

In addition, the Guild will highlight its outreach to young and beginning metalsmiths nurturing the craft to a new generation. Our historical perspective will also be highlighted, revealing our very beginnings and development over the years to our present new and expansive look and feel.

This year this event debuts in a new location, Briarcliff Woods Beach Club, 1830 Morris Landers Drive, NE, Atlanta 30345. The new venue offers enhanced display space and demonstration areas for the artists and convenience for attendees.

“We’re grateful that this venue takes our Guild’s event to the next level, and our members deserve the exposure and opportunities that come with it,” said Janet Dickinson, president of MAGG. “After multiple years with fewer events where artists can network and market their work, we’re delighted to come back strong with this show. Many of our members are professionals who solely earn their living via metalsmithing, and with this event they retain 100% of their sales.”

Doors open to the public Saturday, November 12, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. Door prizes, giveaways and demonstrations are scheduled throughout the days. Doors close at 5:00 p.m.

MAGG is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit metalsmithing guild made up beginners through to professional jewelry artists residing in and around Greater Atlanta.
