RADICAL JEWELRY MAKEOVER
National Ornamental Metal Museum

Jewelry is a traditionally romantic gift, but how can we be sure it’s an ethical one? Ethical Metalsmiths’ Radical Jewelry Makeover raises awareness about jewelry’s impact on the environment, supply chains, and human rights. The National Ornamental Metal Museum will be exhibiting 70 works by over 25 different artists who examine mining issues and ethics while creating innovative jewelry from recycled sources.
WEDNESDAY WINTER WALKS
Overton Park
Every Wednesday at 4:00pm
Fall in love with the natural world with weekly winter walks through Overton Park, every Wednesday at 4:00pm. There’s no agenda for these casual 1.4-mile strolls, which are a great way to meet new people and get outside. The path is accessible, and dogs on a leash are welcome. Meet at the Rainbow Lake Playground Kiosk. The days are slowly but steadily lengthening as we get closer to spring. Soak up the extra sunshine!
No matter what you choose to do, we hope you get out in the city and enjoy your February – and from everyone at Summerfield Associates, Happy Valentine’s Day!
