Can you believe that AJF is 25 years old?! Thank you for all you’ve done to bring us where we are today! With your generous support, AJF has:
- Become a leading voice in the field—keeping you in the know about all things art jewelry with over 1,000 articles, interviews, reviews, interviews, photo essays, and critical thought pieces
- Provided $146,000 in financial support and career recognition to 22 emerging and mid-career jewelers around the world through our award and grant program
- Connected the global community through over 100 in-person and virtual events and 34 trips around the world dedicated to educational programming and stimulating the marketplace
As we look toward the future, we’re excited to announce AJF’s first-ever major fundraising drive, Fund the Future, in honor of our 25th anniversary. Our goal is to raise a minimum of $250,000 by the end of the year. This would be a game changer for AJF. I’m excited to report that thanks to pledges from several committed donors we’re on our way, but we need you, our community, united by a passion for jewelry, to close the gap on this ambitious goal.
