    East Carolina University School of Art metal design professor Mi-Sook Hur showed 60 of her new artworks at LOOT: MAD About Jewelry at the Museum of Arts and Design, NYC, from Monday September 28 until Saturday, October 3. More than 50 emerging and acclaimed artists from 21 countries were invited to participate.

    "With over 50 designers on-site throughout the exhibition and sale, LOOT offers one of New York's most unique shopping experiences," wrote the New York Social Diary. "Proceeds from the sale benefit the Museum's exhibition and education programs."

    Now in its 15th edition, LOOT has become known as the ultimate pop-up shop for contemporary artist-made jewelry, where collectors and jewelry enthusiasts have the opportunity to meet and acquire pieces from some of the most innovative creators in the field.
