SUNY New Paltz Art Department
Fine Arts Building, Room 225
1 Hawk Drive
New Paltz, NY 12561WHY SHOULD I DONATE TO THIS PROJECT?
-There are so many reasons! The project is educational for our students and community as we will assess and examine objects, materials and sourcing. Students will gain a deeper understanding of how things are made, ethical practices, creative problem solving, and thoughtful re-use through the circular economy model. The project helps spread awareness about these concerns, and we will all help keep things out of the waste stream by contributing!-Anyone who donates will receive a coupon/discount for the purchase of a new one-of-a-kind piece made by our network of participating jewelers and metalsmiths from the donated items! All proceeds from the project will support student makers and the Ethical Metalsmiths non-profit organization.
-We will be welcoming the community in to see the process through events like our RJM kickoff, exhibition and more! Follow our instagram page @newpaltzmetal for updates, photos, and news about the project!
WHEN IS THE EXHIBITION AND SALE?
Saturday, November 1, 2025 will be the opening reception for the Radical Jewelry Makeover Exhibition at The D.R.A.W. Gallery in Kingston, NY. We look forward to welcoming you to the exhibition, and hope you will purchase a piece—giving it new life and story to tell!I HAVE A DIFFERENT QUESTION, WHO SHOULD I CONTACT?
