'Emerging Artist' award
10-Jan-2012
We are pleased to announce that graduate Farrah Al-Dujaili has been awarded the 'Emerging Artist' award by the Art Jewelry Forum. Her work was chosen from among 150 entries from 36 countries.
Criteria used in the judging were originality, depth of concept and quality of craftsmanship. The goal of the EAA is to acknowledge promise, innovation and individuality in the work of emerging jewelers. The competition is open to makers of art jewelry who have recently completed their professional training.
Jurors for the 2011 competition were Perry A Price, Assistant Curator of Exhibitions and Collections at the Fuller Craft Museum, Brockton, Massachusetts; Marion Fuller, long-standing member of AJF and collector of contemporary jewelry; and Agnes Larsson, jewelry artist and recipient of the AJF’s 2010 Emerging Artist Award.
Her work will be featured by an AJF member gallery at SOFA NY and in AJF advertisements and will serve as a juror for next year’s competition. Formal announcement of this award, with images of the work, will be made at SOFA New York, April 20–23, 2012 and will also be shown at COLLECT in London, England, May 11–14, 2012.
