Annual Exhibition of New Work by Monterey Bay Metal Arts Guild Members
November 28, 2025 – January 4, 2026
Each winter, ZFolio Monterey transforms into a sparkling showcase of imagination, craftsmanship, and community. Our annual exhibition featuring new work by the Monterey Bay Metal Arts Guild (MBMAG) is one of our most beloved traditions—an uplifting celebration of the extraordinary creativity thriving right here along the Central Coast.
This year’s show, Inspired, brings together an exceptional group of artists whose dedication to metalwork shines through in works that are thoughtful, expressive, and beautifully constructed. From sculptural pendants to wearable art, from textured surfaces to fine granulation and gemstone accents, their work highlights the infinite possibilities of contemporary metal arts.
Honoring Local Talent
ZFolio is proud to support and champion the work of local artists. The Monterey Bay Metal Arts Guild is a vibrant community of makers who continually push their craft in new directions. The 2025–2026 exhibition features creations by:
Tricia Adams • Kristi Aitken • Roxanne Beebe • Abby Bettencourt • Deb Collins • Kaia Cornell • Hélène Daniels • Rosangelina Diaz • Sara Elgohary • Elsa Etcheverry • Pat Evans • Fereshteh Fatemi • Ina Hohensee • Rigel Hunter • Bonnie Jay • Paula Koepsel • Emmy Mackenzie • Joanne McMullen • Himani Natu • Melissa Offutt • Irene Patton • Tim Robinson • José Santana • Susan Shallenberger • Mary S Weeks
Each artist brings a unique perspective—some inspired by nature, others by geometry, story, or emotion. Together, they create a rich tapestry of styles and voices, reminding us how powerful handmade art can be.
A Perfect Season for Art
As the holidays approach, this exhibition offers a meaningful way to support local artistry while finding gifts that carry heart, intention, and human touch. Whether you’re an avid collector or simply drawn to beautiful design, the pieces featured in Inspired capture both the spirit of the season and the spirit of our creative community.
