Greetings!

Have Pen, Will Report?

On Writing for AJF

by Benjamin Lignel

Right now, AJF is specifically looking for writers interested in interviewing artists. We publish around six artist interviews a month and currently have a team of interviewers, including Susan Cummins, Bonnie Levine, Olivia Shih--with Kamal Nassif, Kellie Riggs, and Missy Graff pitching in on occasion--to make that happen.

Sound like your cup of tea? If so, email me the following information:

Your location
Your level of schooling or the name of the school if you are currently enrolled
Why you want to do artist interviews for AJF
A writing sample
A list of questions you think artists should be asked

Priority will be given to students and graduates of AJF supporter schools.

So if researching a jeweler's life and work, generating a list of questions, and participating in an email exchange with the artist sounds exciting, please reach out.

Xo,

Art Jewelry Forum
