Call for Entries! Beyond Metal: Metal+Anything Instagram Challenge

A real-world exhibition at the Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center in February 2025, featuring work that will be part of the 2024 Instagram Metal + Anything Challenge. 

The 2024 Challenge is to create 24 projects that combine metal plus any other material. Both jewelry and sculpture will be considered for the exhibition if the work has been photographed, posted on Instagram, and tagged with Challenge hashtags (#2024MetalChallenge, #ChapmanMetalsChallenge, #MetalPlusAnything2024).

The challenge does not necessarily need to be completed to be considered.

All artists accepted to the show will need to agree to drop off and pick up their work at CAFAC, which is located at 3749 Chicago Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55407. Apply Here
