Jewelry Culture | Come and Get it
DECEMBER 1, 2015

Greetings! 

After tallying the donations received in the final hours of the campaign, Art Jewelry Forum's Fall Fundraiser goal of $10,000 was exceeded by over five thousand dollars. The Rotasa Foundation was so impressed by the community's response, they've agreed to not only match the amount raised so far, but will also continue to match donations until the end of the year, up to $20,000. For everyone who already donated, thank you not only for your generosity, but for your show of support. If you haven't yet donated, there's still time AND your donation will be doubled. It is a win-win.

The AJF Artist Award jury is meeting right now to determine the five finalists. There were 151 applications from 35 countries--our largest group of applicants yet. We are excited to find out who the next winner will be.

Last, don't forget current supporters of AJF receive a 20% discount in AJF's bookstore. Give the gift of jewelry knowledge during the holidays.
