GRAB THE SAW AND TURN ON THE PICKLE POT... IT’S ALMOST TIME FOR THE METALS CHALLENGE!

The metals challenge is back, and in response to our recent survey, we’ve made some changes and improvements to ensure this year’s event is more inclusive and more about challenging yourself rather than each other. And...as long as Covid cooperates...we’re excited to be planning an in-person exhibition this year!! (Date/location TBD).

The detailed parameters of this years challenge will only be revealed to those who register, but here are the big changes you’ll want to note:

• More freedom! Participants will be free to use their own materials in whatever way they choose, there will be no box of supplies.

• More time! There will be nearly 5 months to finish!

• More inclusive! We want MASSC members at all levels to feel comfortable participating in this event. This year we’ve done away with professional judging and big cash prizes and instead invite everybody to challenge themselves to create something new. It’s about pushing yourself, not beating the competition.

• More casual! Rather than a big expensive sit down luncheon, we’re planning a FREE Metals Challenge Exhibition where we can snack, mingle, and enjoy a bunch of amazing work!

• More swag! This year every artist that turns in a qualified entry will receive a 2022 MC Book as their gift from MASSC! There may be more surprises at the Exhibition as well!
