SUMMARY:Film Screening: J. Fred Woell: An American Vision
DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating the life and work of metalsmith\, jewele
 r\, and political artists\, J. Fred Woell (CAA Sculpture\, ‘69). A new d
 ocumentary film directed by Richard Kane\, J. Fred Woell: An American Visi
 on (2017) celebrates the pioneering metal artist who created work with wit
 \, satire\, and meaning. In 1965\, J. Fred Woell took his cast silver jewe
 lry to New York City galleries and was turned down flat. “Use gold or fo
 rget it\,” they said. A confirmed contrarian\, Woell vowed to make jewel
 ry from material of no value\, inspiring the term “anti-jewelry.” Near
 ly fifty years later\, he was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award 
 from the Society of North American Goldsmiths.\n\nFred Woell: An American 
 Vision chronicles Woell’s life and artwork\, which is now housed in perm
 anent collections across the country and internationally\, including at th
 e Museum of Arts and Design. Woell has inspired generations of students th
 rough positions at Boston University\, the Swain School of Design\, Haysta
 ck Mountain School of Crafts\, and SUNY New Paltz\, as well as through his
  many workshops and mentorships.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nIris Eichenberg\, Artist in
  Residence and Head of the Metalsmithing Department at Cranbrook Academy o
 f Art will welcome viewers before the film.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nHosted by Cranbr
 ook Art Museum in conjunction with the Metals Department.\n\n&nbsp\;\nImag
