The 13th Biennial Conference of the JMGA (Jewellers and Metalsmiths Group of Australia), entitled Inside-Out, will be held in Adelaide from 25-27 January 2008.

Inside-Out will build on the momentum of previous JMGA conferences and explore jewellery and object making inside the Australia, Asia and Pacific region and outside the conventions of mainstream practice.

The conference will bring together practitioners, educators, collectors, critics and cultural theorists for three days of discussion, debate, interaction and the exchange of ideas.

Speakers include: Grace Cochrane, Julie Ewington, Marian Hosking, Professor Seung Hee Kim, Dr Kevin Murray, Dr Christine Nicholls, Robert Reason, Dr. Damian Skinner and more.

An accompanying exhibition program will present over 20 exhibitions across Adelaide and South Australia and showcase the work of local, national and international artists. Exhibition venues include the Art Gallery of South Australia, JamFactory Contemporary Craft and Design, South Australian Museum, Light Square Gallery - Adelaide Centre for the Arts, Flinders University Art Museum City Gallery, Zu Design, The National Wine Centre and many more.

A series of workshops will be held before and after the conference at the South Australian School of Art - University of South Australia, JamFactory Contemporary Craft and Design and TAFE SA Adelaide Centre for the Arts.

With lawn bowls, exhibition openings, a cocktail party, suitcase sale and performance art the conference is shaping up to be a packed and eventful program.
