Get matched →The Art Jewelry Forum seeks applications for the Linda Peshkin Solo Exhibition Award, which provides $20,000 in funding to support the development and implementation of a solo art jewelry exhibition that the artist would not otherwise have the means to undertake.
International artists eligible. All jewelry artists can apply; applications from artists presenting proposals for their first solo exhibition are encouraged.
The proposed exhibition must be about jewelry (loosely defined as worn on the body or enhancing the body, utilizing jewelry forms and/or history, all materials considered) and must be shown at a gallery or other exhibition venue within a two-year timeframe. The proposal must include a letter from the gallery/venue confirming intent to exhibit, a final critical/curatorial text, and a catalog/booklet for AJF's online library. The project must include a curator (may be the gallerist) and a text by a writer (may be the curator) for publication at opening.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
Submit via CaFÉ (applications open September 1, 2026). Include date of birth, contact information, country of origin, and website/social media handles in the digital application. Projects previously proposed in earlier award cycles may be resubmitted, but all documentation, budget, and letters must be new and dated 2026.
The jury consists of three distinguished specialists in art jewelry selected by Art Jewelry Forum. The 2027 jurors are Bella Neyman (US), Jorge Manilla (MX/BE/NO), and Geraldine Fenn (ZA). The award winner is expected to serve as a juror in the next edition.
