An intimate, behind-the-scenes experience in Montreal centered on contemporary jewelry.
AJF Weekend: Montreal is a two-day, small-group program centered around the opening of a new exhibition by South Africa–based artist Geraldine Fenn.
Designed to be focused and easy to attend, the weekend brings together an intimate group of artists, curators, and collectors for a series of visits, conversations, and shared experiences across Montreal’s contemporary jewelry scene.
Program highlights include:
- Exhibition visit featuring new work by Geraldine Fenn, with time with the artist
- Studio visit with Aurélie Guillaume
- Curator-led tour at MUMAQ (Musée des métiers d’art du Québec)
- Breakfast gathering at Galerie Noel Guyomarch
- Curator-led visit to the newly reinstalled national museum galleries
- Celebratory dinner with fellow participants
- Optional Sunday breakfast
- and more!
The weekend begins Friday afternoon and concludes Sunday morning, making travel easy on either end. The schedule is intentionally paced to allow time for both structured visits and informal conversation.
This is a rare opportunity to experience a new body of work at the moment it enters the field—and to come together around it, sharing perspectives and extending the conversation in ways that are difficult to replicate on our own.
