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.

AJF'S BOARD EXPANDS TO 17 MEMBERS
New Directors to Influence Nonprofit's Direction


Monday May 22, 2017, San Francisco, CA--Art Jewelry Forum is pleased to announce the addition of three new directors to our board of directors--Cindi Strauss, Sarah Turner, and John Rose.

AJF's board of directors is composed of an international group of thinkers, creators, and appreciators of the field of art jewelry, who guide our organizational activities and keep our mission to advocate for art jewelry at the center of all that we do.
 
Cindi Strauss, the Sara and Bill Morgan Curator of Decorative Arts, Craft, and Design and Assistant Director, Programmingat the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, notes that supporting AJF has been a priority because she believes wholeheartedly in our mission to educate the public on contemporary jewelry and promote the artists and organizations associated with the field.
 
Sarah Turner, an artist, educator, and proud resident of the Midwestern region of the United States, appreciates AJF's keen focus on art jewelry and our attention to the wide range of subject matters that derive from it, especially as she works increasingly in interdisciplinary fields.
 
John Rose is a marketing expert and long-time advocate for the fields of jewelry and craft. John is deeply committed to the arts and brings his knowledge of contemporary jewelry and his expertise in communication to our board. He chooses to contribute to AJF because it is one of the world's leading platforms in support of contemporary jewelry and design.

Art Jewelry Forum welcomes the input and expertise that Cindi, Sarah, and John will bring to our organization. Find out more about all 17 members of our board and about Art Jewelry Forum at any time on AJF's About page.

A conversation with jewelry curator Ivy Ross. Exploring the tension of opposites, the balance of man and machine

https://klimt02.net/forum/interviews/conversation-jewelry-curator-i...

Ivy Ross, a respected Silicon Valley executive who began her career as a widely collected jewelry maker, joins Patina Gallery owners Allison and Ivan Barnett as co-curator of a contemporary jewelry exhibition in July 2017 exploring the intersection of humanity and technology. Crafted Visions: The Tension of Opposites at Patina Gallery in Santa Fe. Inspiration for the exhibition comes from the world premiere of The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs, The Santa Fe Opera’s production based on the life of Steve Jobs and his spirit of revolution.
