The Association for Contemporary Jewellery

is devoted to the promotion, representation, understanding and development of contemporary jewellery in the United Kingdom and abroad.

Founded as a membership association in 1997 and registered as a Limited Company in 2006, it recognises a need to foster discussion, debate and critical review and interaction amongst its members. To this end we organise conferences, lectures, seminars, workshops and an annual general meeting for our members. Our regular newsletter, findings, features reviews, information, comment, book offers and discounts and is of benefit to both our members and the wider public. We also produce a monthly e-bulletin featuring news and opportunities.

We welcome as members practising jewellers, associated designers and crafts people, educators, students, gallery owners and retailers, museum curators, critics and collectors - indeed, anyone with an interest in contemporary jewellery.

The Baltimore Jewelry Center (BJC), is building a vibrant creative community for new and established metal and jewelry artists. As an educational 501(c)(3) nonprofit, they’re on a mission to educate and inspire Baltimore and beyond through their programming, exhibitions, and community and educational outreach.

The BJC aims to reconnect Baltimore to its rich history of metalsmithing and jewelry, and increase awareness of contemporary metalsmithing and jewelry as an art form. Their shared values guide them in building an environment where metalsmiths and art jewelers innovate and elevate each other through collaboration. Different perspectives, openness, and respect enrich our community. Together, they’re empowering metalsmiths and art jewelers to evolve the field through study, practice, and leadership.

The BJC seeks a Studio Manager who is passionate about metalsmithing and art jewelry and loves engaging with people in a variety of settings, from the studio to community events, conferences, and more. As administrators focused on the programming and management of the BJC, studio managers are a primary representative of the BJC for the community and have a big impact.

Starting the first Monday in June, the AJF newsletter will arrive once a week and feature a single new article, review or interview from AJF's website.

Until then, check out all the articles that were published in the last two weeks of May--an article about confusion as a tool, a conversation about Renate Heintze, and a new gallery based kind of, but not exactly, in Berlin, Germany--plus The June Report and a beautiful array of objects On Offer from AJF galleries around the world.

Also, if you've ever wanted to see Paris, France through a jewelry-focused lens, consider joining AJF's trip coming up in October. Registration is open until June 15, 2017.

See you next Monday!
