SAQA
Call for Submissions
Call for Entry Deadline

Be part of SAQA’s most-anticipated fundraising event! Donate a 12 x 12-inch art quilt to support our exhibition and outreach programs. This year's auction will take place online from September 12 through October 5, 2025.

  • Donations MUST be 12” x 12”. All embellishments and/or hanging methods must be within the 12” x 12” size. Only ONE work per artist will be accepted. 
  • All artwork donated must be ready to hang. This can include a sleeve, corner pockets, or attached loops/rings.
  • Artwork on stretcher bars will be accepted but may not be any larger than 12” x 12” after mounting and should be no deeper than 1 inch (2.5 cm) after mounting. Artwork on stretchers must have hooks and wire attached for hanging.
  • All donations must have a label on the back, with the title (or "untitled") and artist's name clearly written.

PLEASE NOTE:

Since the auction will take place online, the quality of your image is very important! We may not be able to re-photograph your piece. 

When you complete your submission form, you will need to upload a digital image (jpg format) of your quilt. This image should be good quality: evenly lit, in focus, no smaller than the preferred size of 1200 x 1200 pixels.

Please take the picture on a contrasting color to your edges (pure white works best but use black or dark grey for lighter pieces). A large piece of posterboard makes the perfect background (unlike wood floors, carpet and tables). This will ensure your image looks its best when displayed on the website.
