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.

ZLR celebrates five years of jewellery art exhibitions at Munich Jewellery Week (2015-19) and grants three awards.
 
The ZLR JEWELLERY AWARDS 2019 aim to encourage jewellery artists to keep on striving for excellence! With the award, ZLR intends to set a paradigm for personal responsibility and individual initiative, as well as question the value of prestige and distinctions in the international jewellery community.
 
The awards - three individual artist residencies in Greece - may boost the jewellers' imagination and enrich their understanding of the meaning and uses of jewellery.
 
Greece's 5.000 years old fascinating jewellery tradition can become an indispensable source of inspiration for every jewelry artist who sees beyond the obvious.

The organization Alliages has two goals: to promote contemporary jewelry and educate about this art. To educate the public on contemporary jewelry, Alliages started a private collection transmitted this year to the museum selected. From its creation up to now, Alliages has promoted this collection and the artists which are part of it, using virtual or physical networks. To promote and reward jewelers, Alliages created its Award for Contemporary Jewellery. Deadline: March 15, 2019. https://alliages.org/the-award-2019

92Y is now accepting applications for its upcoming residency, which will take place August 14–September 15, 2019. The International Jewelry Artist Residency is a juried residency for cutting edge, emerging and established jewelry artists to develop their work in the multifaceted New York City art scene. It provides the opportunity for an international artist with a studio-based practice to develop a new body of work or complete research while engaging with New York's cultural community, and includes access to 92Y Residence, 24-hour private studio working space, and travel expenses to and from New York City.

This Residency offers the opportunity for an artist to share with the New York City design community their different aesthetic, technical or design impetus through a required 2-day lecture and workshop at 92Y Jewelry Center during the last weekend of the residency and through professional meetings with participating cultural institutions while expanding their artistic and professional opportunities. Mature as well as emerging artists are encouraged to apply. The residency is awarded to one artist each year. Applications and supporting materials must be submitted by April 1, 2019.
