From the start, AJF has always encouraged the appreciation of art jewelry by supporting artists, galleries, and curators through education, critical conversations, grants, and sponsorships. And since the beginning there’s been a special focus on the collector. AJF’s trips, lectures, and talks are designed to give collectors education and exposure to galleries, personal collections, museum collections, and artist’s studios; to give them the opportunity to learn about and buy work they otherwise would never see in person; and to give them access behind the scenes.
Let’s go back in the archives to look at an interview with AJF member Deedie Rose about collecting.
