Hauser and Miller Company has been a major supporter of the Society for Midwest Metalsmith's, exhibitions and programs since 1999. Though the years they generously gave SMM funding for the 1999 SNAG Conference in St. Louis, the "Metal Departures" Exhibition in 2001, the "Stones" Exhibition in 2004, the "Hey, These Things Snap Right Off" Exhibition in 2006 and the METAL Inclinations International Exhibition in 2008-09.
Thanks to all the many supporters and volunteers of METAL Inclinations1 & 2!
The METAL Inclinations International Exhibition sponsored by SMM was successful because of the tremendous support by the world-wide metalsmithing community and the corporate sponsors who helped to provide financial support.
SMM would like to thank all those who helped to make the exhibition possible. Thanks to the many volunteer/members of SMM who gave their time and talents to make everything came together and thanks to the hundreds of metal artists who submitted their images to be juried by our four jurors Jamie Bennett, Klaus Burgel, John Cogswell and Sydney Lynch.
Finally we would like to thank the corporate sponsors of the exhibition, Hauser and Miller Company, Pasternak Findings, Rio Grande, Xuron Corp. and Juried Art Services. Please use the links provided to visit these company's websites. We hope the past year was successful and creative for you.
