Daniel Jocz: Permission Granted
The career of Massachusetts artist Daniel Jocz has been marked by shape-shifting and playful irreverence, resulting in an energetically diverse body of work. In his jewelry over the past four decades, he has mastered the art of innovation and assumed a remarkably broad range of formal and conceptual positions. Incorporating aspects of sculpture, painting, architecture, and the decorative arts, his small-scale objects also reveal Jocz’s technical virtuosity and passion for ideas. The exhibition, Daniel Jocz: Permission Granted, will survey the artist’s dynamic career through some 50 jewelry works along with a selection of related sculptural pieces.

Creative Alloys: The Boston Metals Scene
Artists are often part of creative ecosystems, working within a network of allies that inspire, educate, and support their careers. Creative Alloys: The Boston Metals Scene spotlights the vibrant metalsmithing and jewelry community that has ignited Boston over the past five decades. Organized in conjunction with the exhibition Daniel Jocz: Permission Granted in Fuller Craft Museum’s M. Tarlow Gallery, Creative Alloys will spotlight the vigor and imagination of the unique artistic scene and the creative context from which sculptor Jocz emerged. This project has been supported by a grant from the Artist’s Resource Trust. (Image Credit: Joe Wood, “Loopy” Brooch, 2002.)
Riotous Threads: Fiber Works from Gateway Arts
This vibrant exhibition features works made with fiber by artists from Gateway Arts, an internationally acclaimed studio art center, gallery, and store that supports meaningful lives and careers in art for adults with disabilities. Located in Brookline, MA, Gateway Arts has nurtured the creative talents of artists with diverse diagnoses, strengths, and needs for nearly 50 years.
Riotous Threads features a range of fiber creations, from lush embroidery and colorful felt forms to found object sculptures and intricate weavings. Each object on view is a spirited celebration of the artist’s creative accomplishments and the transformative potential of the stitch. The exhibition also underscores the importance of organizations like Gateway Arts to the health and vitality of our communities.
