Exhibition Dates: December 2 – January 2, 2016 Reception: Sunday, December 4, 2016 3-5 PM
MBMAG is excited to present a gallery exhibition this December. This is a terrific opportunity to view new works by members of the Monterey Bay Matal Arts Guild, in a gallery setting. This gallery also has an online presence, see ZFolio.com.
The theme of the exhibit is Emotion, and the interpretations are sure to be as varied as our membership! All pieces are available for sale, and are primarily precious metals.
We need help crediting artists who made some of the links in our MBMAG Link Project. We have been tasked with labeling this work for the August opening of Surf, Sand, Silversmiths show at PVAC.
Our deadline for labeling is July 15.
Can anyone help? If you can identify the artist(s) who created any of the links in this post please email Rhonda Sprague at rhondasprague@sbcglobal.net.
We would really like to credit the artist who have contributed to this amazing Link Project. Thank you for your help!

Richard Cybulski is from Watertown, CT but he spends much of his time in Brazil. He will be bringing a large selection of Brazilian gemstones, including beautiful, but reasonably priced, cabochons, faceted stones, an incredible selection of rose cut stones and a large selection of gemstone strands.
Richard Cybulski has been traveling monthly to Brazil for the past 20 years, and has developed strong contacts with cutters of a large variety of Brazilian gemstones. These include fine faceted, cabochons, rose-cuts, slices and designer beads in a wide range of stones, including aquamarine, beryl, morganite, emerald, tourmaline, amethyst, citrine, ametrine, precious topaz, blue topaz, andaluzite, amazonite, orange chalcedony and designer quartzes of assorted natural inclusions.
Richard travels all over the country, working with a large range of designers and manufacturers. He enjoys seeking out unusual pieces, all offered at wholesale prices. Of course, he also provides standard calibrated cuts as well. He owns all of his stones; he does not act as a representative or dealer for third parties. He is 100% responsible for his materials, none of which are dyed or coated.

About the Pajaro Valley Arts Council (PVAC)
Our Mission Statement:
“Bringing the community together through the arts”
This is our 30th year!
The Pajaro Valley Arts Council, known as PVAC, was founded as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in 1984 in Watsonville, California, to promote and foster cultural events in the Pajaro Valley and south Santa Cruz County. We strive to nourish the artistic resources found in our rich local cultural diversity, historical heritage, and the natural beauty of the Central Coast. We work collaboratively to develop and promote opportunities for public participation in and appreciation for the arts.
PVAC opened the gallery in 1986, and presents rotating visual art exhibition in both the gallery and satellite locations.

Adornment:
new work from Monterey Bay Metal Arts Guild members
at the Z Folio Gallery in Monterey, CA
December 4, 2015 – January 4, 2016
Reception: Sunday, December 6, 2015 from 3 pm to 5 PM
MBMAG is excited to present a gallery exhibition opportunity this December and January. Many of our members have been looking for new exhibit opportunities, so not only is this an opportunity to enhance your resume, but also a chance to market work in a gallery setting. This gallery has an online presence, see Z Folio.
The theme Adornment may be interpreted as you wish. A little research on the meaning of the word might inspire you. Each artist may submit up to two new pieces of jewelry or small sculpture not previously shown in a Guild exhibit. This announcement is far in advance of the deadline, to give you time to create something new. All pieces submitted to this show must be for sale, and priced with commissions to the gallery in mind (50% to artist/50% to gallery).
