INTERVIEW
Juror for the 2022 AJF Young Artist Award

MJ Tyson makes jewelry, sculpture, and objects from reconstituted and melted metal. Her work is centered on the relationship between people and their possessions.

"I experienced a new level of recognition for my work," as a result of winning the 2020 Young Artist Award, says Tyson. "I’ve been looking forward to being a juror for the past two years! I can’t wait to see the submissions and discuss work with the other jurors. It’s a great honor to help select the next group of finalists."

The 2022 Young Artist Award offers a prize of US$7,500 for the winner and US$1,000 for each of the four finalists, as well as an exhibition at Schmuck in March 2022. Don’t put off applying—the deadline is this Sunday, January 9, 2022! Apply here.
