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 ring has been an enduring symbol of status,power and adornment throughout the world and a source of inspiration for artists from antiquity to the present. The Art of The Ring showcases the extraordinary vision and creativity of artists, including internationally known masters in their field as well as younger and emerging talents, exploring the superb possibilities of the ring form.

ALL FIVE FINALISTS OF ART JEWELRY FORUM ARTIST AWARD TO EXHIBIT WORK AT SCHMUCK IN MUNICH, GERMANY
http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?ca=6e5a72d7-8697-4f8...


Mill Valley, CA, September 1, 2014--In addition to the cash award of $7500 for the winner of the Art Jewelry Forum Artist Award (AJF AA), we have just arranged for the five finalists (including the winner) to show at the fabulous annual Schmuck event in Munich, Germany. Work will be displayed at either Galerie Marzee, Galerie Ra, or Platina gallery in the Frame part of the exhibition hall. This event will expose the work to a vast audience of interested people.

AJF is accepting applications for its 2014 Artist Award. This is the fifteenth year that AJF will be providing a cash award to a contemporary jewelry artist. The amount of the 2014 award will remain at $7500 this year thanks to the generous support of Susan Kempin and Susan Beech, both long-time collectors and supporters of AJF.

Jurors for this year's competition are Sooyeon Kim, jewelry artist and winner of the 2013 award; Carin Reinders, director of the CODA Museum, Apeldoorn, Netherlands; and Karen Rotenberg, founder and director of Alianza Contemporary Craft and a collector of contemporary jewelry.

The purpose of the award is to acknowledge promise, innovation, and individuality in the work of an emerging jewelry artist and to help to advance the artist's career.

The competition is open to makers of wearable art jewelry who are not currently enrolled in an academic or other professional training program. Work submitted in the application must have been unsupervised, and not previously submitted for a BFA or MFA show. What has changed this year is:
Applicants must be 35 years of age or younger at the time of the application deadline (September 30, 2014)
Work must have been made between 2012 and 2014
Applicants who have applied previously must submit new work, i.e. work submitted in a prior AJF Artist Award application may not be resubmitted in the current application
Applicants may have had, or be scheduled to have, a solo exhibition
Deadline for submission is September 30, 2014. More information about the award may be found on AJF's website. Applications may be submitted at www.callforentry.org.

The winner will be chosen from among five finalists. The announcement of the winner will take place during the Schmuck jewelry fair in Munich, Germany in March 2015.
