Dream Machine 2026 at NYC Jewelry Week

Call for Entry will open 9/1 and close on 9/30.

Dream Machine is an annual juried exhibition during NYC Jewelry Week featuring recent works made within the last five years that explore identity and studio practice by artists at all stages of their career. Through jewelry, tableware, and objects, artists give voice and form to the liminal spaces of dreams, feelings, and atmosphere; spaces and states that are neither here nor there. Allowing for hope, anticipation, and anxiety, Dream Machine brings these works together to reflect distinct and connected experiences.

We are thrilled to be seeking submissions for our 2026 exhibition at UrbanGlass that explore themes of identity, autonomy, and individuality. Dream Machine prides itself in highlighting new work in the field, and encourages both emerging and established artists to apply.
