Keeper – a Brooch Club exhibition

Keeper brings together work by 30 plus artists developed through Brooch Club with the support of JMGA-NSW, a community-driven series of meet-ups held from May to September across contemporary jewellery spaces in Sydney and beyond. The project culminates in exhibitions in Sydney at Windowsmiths Gallery and in Melbourne at PG Gallery as part of Radiant Pavilion.

Working within the theme Keeper, participants have approached jewellery as a vessel for memory and connection - exploring how moments, relationships, and lineages are held and carried and how stories are told.

Developed through shared dialogue, reflection and experimentation, the works embody a breadth of personal responses shaped by individual experience, material inquiry, and inherited knowledge.

Together, these brooches offer a collective rumination on what it means to hold and carry meaning across practices, people, places, and time.
