Jewelry Exhibition Award

Since 2005, AJF has been funding exhibitions as part of its aim to advocate for contemporary art jewelry through education, appreciation and support for the field.

AJF believes that exhibitions and catalogs are an essential part of the contemporary art jewelry infrastructure, by documenting history, fostering curatorial skills, providing opportunities for writing about contemporary art jewelry and educating the wider public as well as those already engaged with the practice. Exhibition grants are given to non-profit organizations within the United States.

Currently, the AJF exhibition grant is open for applications on a yearly basis, with a total of US $7500 available each year. Applications can request funds for any aspect of exhibitions that make a significant contribution to contemporary art jewelry. Our Guidelines have further information.  Recipients
