KEEPER — A BROOCH CLUB EXHIBITION
Bringing together the work of more than 30 contemporary jewellers, Keeper is the culmination of Brooch Club 2026 — a community-led series of meet-ups supported by JMGA-NSW and hosted across contemporary jewellery spaces in Sydney and beyond.
Working within the theme Keeper, participating artists have explored jewellery as a vessel for memory and connection — considering what we hold, treasure and carry, and how moments, relationships, histories and stories can be carried through objects and making.
Developed through shared dialogue, reflection and experimentation, the resulting brooches bring together diverse personal responses, materials and processes — a collective rumination on what it means to keep something close.
