About

JMGA is a membership based organisation, representing jewellery and object practitioners throughout Western Australia.

As a volunteer non-profit organisation we provide a forum to promote, support and develop the field of contemporary jewellery. JMGA WA Inc is part of a loose affiliation of state jewellery and metalsmiths groups (JMGV, JMGQ, JMGA-NSW, etc) collectively known as JMGA.

JMGA is the national forum for the biennial conferences.

Objectives

The primary aims of the organisation are to:

  • promote the crafts of jewellery and metalsmithing in Australia
  • act as a vehicle by which jewellers and metalsmiths can communicate with each other, and those interested in this area
  • support the advancement of craft in Australia
  • maintain an exchange of information with similar groups in Australia and overseas;
  • publish newsletters and/or magazines which will be of benefit and promote members and membership;
  • generate funds, for the advancement of the crafts of jewellery and metalsmithing in Australia;
  • become a lobbying force in such areas as legislation affecting jewellers and metalsmiths and exhibitions;
  • consolidate the craft of jewellery and metalwork in Australia as an art form.
