A call to artists went out in February 2006, inviting artists to participate in a global collaboration in to understand gold. Artists were offered a “golden opportunity” to contribute to an exhibition about gold. The work address the past, present or future of gold. The call was posted on a number of websites and read by an international audience.

The North Amercian Goldsmiths showed the work of more than eighty artists from nineteen countries in the Marx-Saunders Gallery in Chicago, IL. This show was funded by Rudolph Steiner Foundation for their New Initiatives grant, for hosting the premier reception and screening, the Society of North American Goldsmiths for providing the occasion, Ron Graziani for his essay, Robin Casady for his webmastery, and Earthworks for their support.
