We are an internationally oriented, cultural institution functioning on a public service basis.
Our primary concern is the promotion and support of contemporary trends in jewelry as well as in metal hollow- and flatware design. Providing young gold- and silversmiths with a forum for the general public through competitions, exhibitions, and publications is one of our most important objectives.
We promote the awareness and acceptance of art jewelry as well as limited edition production or classic one-of-a-kind jewelry. In the meantime, contemporary jewelry and silverware have become coveted collectors' items. A special venue for exhibitions is offered by the Hanau museum, the German Goldsmiths' House, which has been under the direction of the Association for Goldsmiths' Art since April 1, 2006.
