It's been a busy month--thank goodness AJF has people strategically located on three continents! 

Rebekah Frank, AJF's executive director, spent a weekend in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the ZOOM Conference, leading a writing workshop and giving a lecture. Meanwhile in Germany, AJF's editor Benjamin Lignel participated in Zimmerhof for a weekend of challenging conversations and lectures. And Melbourne-based social media manager Kevin Murray was in Tehran adding to our ever-growing list of AJF Ambassadors

We'll share about these events soon! Want still more? AJF partners with conferences and events across the world to bring lectures and panel discussions to your personal device. Listen in and join the conversation wherever you are.

Do you have thoughts about the future of Art Jewelry Forum? Now's your chance to share them. AJF sent out a survey recently and your feedback can help determine our course of action as we entere our third decade advocating for contemporary jewelry. Everything AJF does is entirely funded by your donations, so speak up--the last reminder will be sent June 4th.
