The Monterey Bay Jade Festival is proud to continue our annual Jade Carving Exhibition named after master sculptor and jade artist Georg Schmerholz.
This supportive exhibition is open to jade carvers of all skill levels ranging from those establishing themselves in the jade carving community to those with decades of experience in jade artistry.
