  1. Hey Melissa,
    Maker/Wearer/Matchmaker is also open to jewellers who live outside NSW if they’re a JMGA-NSW member at time of submission (just in case you were interested in submitting an expression of interest)! It’s going to be lots of fun collating all the submissions and acting as the ‘matchmaker’, seeing who the galleriests pick as their artist to wear during ArtMonth!
