JOYA Barcelona Art Jewellery & Objects is the main art jewellery and art objects event in Spain.

Gathering a great number of independent artists as well as related organizations, schools and other entities. JOYA, in its 12th edition will be focused on New Technologies and Crafts.
The transition to incorporating new technology into craft isn’t always easy, but we can’t deny that new technologies are stepping in the art jewellery field, and unlike some artists may think it’s time to embrace this opportunity to create something new and develop new business in other craft fields.
Known as one of the most important platforms for the presentation of research and experimental jewellery, the twelfth edition will focus on the debate between craftsmanship and the use of new technologies, with certainly interesting and varied implications, and invites artists and designers who experiment in this sense to come forward and present their research.
After all, aren't new technologies simply the digital evolution of our craft skills?
Do not miss the opportunity to participate in the call, present your work and maybe be selected for one of the best European contemporary jewellery showcases!
According to the following criteria the appointed jury will select the participating artists: originality and innovation of designs, concept, material use, craftsmanship and coherence under a theme or research line. The selection of the artists who will be participating to JOYA 2020 will be officially divulgated by e-mail on June 01st, 2020.
