FADA gallery, Creative Feel and the Contemporary Jewellery Forum congratulate Joani Groenewald, the winner of the inaugural SA Contemporary Jewellery Awards. She received the coveted award for her jewellery pieces titled, Envy, Hopelessly hopeless and Sloth. The runner-up prize was awarded to Mariam Bibi Khan for her piece Interlacing Identities and a special mention award was presented to Nora Kovats’ jewellery piece titled Poeletjie (‘puddle’).
Of the 130 artists that submitted work, 22 finalists were selected. The awards exhibition showcases 65 art jewellery pieces in a broad range of materials, techniques and finishes, which reflects a diversity of current art jewellery statements in South Africa. We trust the awards exhibition will grow from strength to strength and inspire all who submitted work to lend their ongoing support to this new initiative. The organisers will in future work closely with the Contemporary Jewellery Forum, established last year at the Jewellery Department of the University of Johannesburg.
The participants, winners and organisers of this awards exhibition wish to thank our media partner, Creative Feel, for their support in promoting this new creative initiative in fostering an appreciation for this particular cultural creative production.
