2020 Campaign Button Challenge

Artists taking action! Studio jewelers across the country teamed up with Movement Voter Project (MVP) to raise funds to Get Out The Vote in swing states. Using the format of a campaign button, each artist created a brooch that responds to our moment in history.

Our fundraiser has completely sold out and we successfully raised over $5,000 for a fair vote. Thank you donors and supporters! View a gallery of the artwork here - please continue to share these images to help show everyone that their vote is needed and it really matters! We’re asking for a minimum donation of $100 to claim one. Click here to see all the entries.

Follow Arcana Metalwork on Instagram to see behind-the-scenes photos from the artists' benches. If you bought one of the buttons, you can join in and add to the story, too! Please post a selfie wearing your new acquisition and use the hashtag #2020CampaignButtonChallenge to show your support for a fair vote.

Arcana Metalwork Gallery presents an intimate collection of suggestive jewelry: works that employ humor, double entendre, and creatively oblique references to sex and sexuality.
(Above, a red plastic Solo cup forms the basis of commentary on femininity, environmentalism, campus life, and consent.)
