Our third CONNECTOR Gathering during NYCJW centers around a special opportunity to connect with Melanie Bilenker, an American jewelry artist based in Philadelphia. Known for her intricate hairwork, Melanie will be in New York for only a few days — making this one of the rare chances to meet and connect with her in person.

We’ll meet just down the street from the Divinations Opening Reception at Washington Commons at 4:00 PM. For one hour, we’ll make introductions, share our passion for jewelry, and enjoy relaxed conversation before walking together to Specific Gravity for the exhibition (just a short walk away!).

👉 RSVP to the Divinations Opening Reception through nycjewelryweek.com!

Whether you’re attending NYCJW with friends or on your own, this gathering offers an easy, welcoming way to meet fellow jewelry lovers — and to personally connect with an acclaimed artist whose work continues to inspire and move the contemporary jewelry field.

CONNECT WITH US between 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM at Washington Commons.
