of metals. Early members included Margaret de Patta, merry renk, Francis Spensen, Byron Wilson, Vera Allison, Bob Winston, Irena Brynner, Peter and Virginia Macchiarini and Florence Resnikoff. Today MAG has over 200 members and is comprised of professional and emerging artists, educators, students, collectors, and writers. After experimenting with different categories of membership, the Guild offered membership to everyone interested in art metals, whether they were artists, teachers, students, hobbyists or collectors. MAG began sponsoring juried exhibitions from 1951 onwards, participating in shows put on by the San Francisco Art Commission, Bay Area museums, Fort Mason, and currently at such locations as the Oakland Museum’s Collectors Gallery and the Richmond Art Center.
