There are a lot of reasons to support the arts in general and art jewelry in particular--beautiful objects lift our spirits, encourage critical thinking, and provide a sense of community. In Art Jewelry Forum's case, we are an international community of people passionate about art jewelry. People who believe that a platform to think about beautiful jewelry is as important to the field as wearing the jewelry that we love.
The organization was started by Susan Cummins almost 20 years ago to provide a place to think about jewelry. With your support, AJF will continue to be the place to appreciate beautiful, innovative
jewelry that challenges us to think, for the NEXT 20 years.
If you have donated in the past, please consider donating again. If you have never donated before, now is the perfect time to start. Thank you.
