Statement: 2017 Fashion Show of Jewelry & Wearable Sculpture was developed by the students of College of The Albemarle Professional Arts Club to showcase the talents of COA’s Professional Crafts Jewelry and Art students. During this event, student models present jewelry creations and wearable sculpture in a runway setting at the Magnolia Pavilion in downtown Manteo in conjunction with the Manteo First Friday ArtWalk in May 2017. This live exhibition celebrates the talents of our COA students from the Dare and Elizabeth City campuses and offers a venue for students to share their artwork with the community. This catalog presents some of the jewelry pieces that appear in the live fashion show.

Acknowledgments The Professional Arts Club would like to thank the artists who created work for the show and the models presenting their artwork for donating their talents, time, and energy.

Special thanks to Fashion Show Co-Chairs Bettie Lowe and Dorothy Ansell for their efforts in curating and organizing the show.
