Brooches have long been used as communication tools to impart information such as marital and class status, religion, political leanings, and even hidden desires. Most recently brooches have become visual tools that complement verbal communication through their ingenious use by leaders such as Madeline Albright, Michelle Obama, and Queen Elizabeth.
In this exhibition, artists from across the globe, including artists from 5 countries, 11 states, and over a dozen artists from Colorado, use brooches to explore complex issues in our current times. Join us in exploring many of the most pressing issues in our society with these thought-provoking, one of a kind pieces of wearable art. All pieces in this collection are offered for sale and will be online through the end of April.
