Revere Academy Announces Scholarships

by Robyn Hawk on September 4, 2009


Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco is offering two scholarships for classes in 2010:


MORT ABELSON MASTERS SYMPOSIUM SCHOLARSHIP 2010

This scholarship honors Mort Abelson, who was instrumental in promoting the American designer jewelry movement. The winner receives all expenses paid (tuition, fees, transportation and lodging) in San Francisco for any class during Revere Academy’s annual Masters Symposium, April 2010.


JURORS: Alan Revere and Cindy Edelstein
ENTRY DEADLINE: December 1, 2009 11:59 pm (MST)
ELIGIBILITY: The contest is open to anyone in the United States and Canada. Jurors will be looking for an individual whose work exemplifies original, innovative, high quality jewelry design.

TO APPLY: Online application through callforentry. org (CAFE) .

Registration on CAFE is required. $25 entry fee. Applicants will be notified via email by December 16, 2010.


Special Thanks: This unique scholarship was funded by designers, for designers. At a gathering in 2007 to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the New Designer Gallery, an auction was held to raise funds to honor Mort. Over 50 past participants of the New Designer Gallery and other jewelry artists donated a piece of their work to be auctioned, with the proceeds used for the scholarship. The artists/donors all wanted to acknowledge and thank Mort for his support in a way that perpetuates his energy and insight and helps up-and-coming jewelry designers. By paying back with their own creations, these generous artists are completing the circle and are paving the way for the next generation of jewelry designers.
