About

Transylvania Jewelry Festival, held in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, was born out of a passion for contemporary jewelry and the desire to actively contribute to the development of this field in Romania by creating a community and a space for dialogue and artistic experimentation.

Transylvania Jewelry Festival, developed by Andra Lupu and Ioana Cloșca, is an independent, privately initiated, and non-subsidized event that aims to support and promote contemporary jewelry as an art form. The festival creates a context for exploration, innovation, and artistic diversity, bringing together creators and perspectives from around the world.

Unlike a traditional fair, Transylvania Jewelry Festival functions as a decentralized festival, bringing together exhibitions, artistic interventions, and presentations hosted in galleries, studios, alternative spaces, and unconventional venues throughout the city.

The event brings together artists, designers, students, galleries, and collectors from across the globe, offering an open platform for meeting, exchanging ideas, and artistic exploration. The focus is on jewelry as a form of artistic expression, beyond its decorative or commercial role.

Through the diversity of its locations and artistic approaches, the festival offers a dynamic and accessible experience, inviting the public to discover new perspectives on jewelry and its role within contemporary art.
