About The Association of Contemporary Jewelry and Goldsmithing Designers
(Asociación de Diseñadores de Orfebrería y Joyería Contemporáneas, AdOC), created by a group of designers with multidisciplinary backgrounds, seeks to promote and reclaim the place that contemporary goldsmithing deserves, side by side with the rest of the plastic arts, as ornamental and personal embellishment objects have been part of the symbolic language of society since the origin of humanity. Their designs are an essential part of art, silent witnesses of time.
The Association has organized, annually since 2016, the Exhibition Contemporary Goldsmithing in several Madrid museums and within the Madrid Design Festival, held simultaneously with the Semana de Arte – ARCO, contributing to the city’s transformation into a global capital of contemporary art.
In 2025, the IX Exhibition · Contemporary Goldsmithing will include not only the main exhibition at the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas, but also several specialized thematic venues:
MUSEO CERRALBO
