Below the Surface (SAQA Virtual Gallery) - Call for Entry

Take an exploration below the surface. What do you see when you look beyond the  obvious? In the physical world, what do we find when we go beneath the surface of the  ocean, the earth, our skin, a plant or even a car hood? Conceptually, there might be  more than meets the eye in a political message, a first impression, digital images (real  or generated by AI), a song or poem. When we start scratching below the surface, we  might find we need to look more closely and think more deeply about what we  encounter to understand the complete picture.  

THIS CALL IS FOR AN ONLINE GALLERY

• Open to all SAQA members
• No entry fee (up to 3 entries per artist)
• No size or date restrictions

Because this is a virtual exhibition, it is critical that submitted images be of the best possible quality: in focus, with clear details, and following SAQA's digital image requirements. Please read Virtual Gallery Submission Guidelines for more details. If you have any questions, please contact us at calls@saqa.art.

Common image errors include:

• Images that are out of focus or too small, 
• Cropping images too closely on the full-view image. All edges of the artwork must be visible along with a small amount of contrasting background.
• Distracting elements in the image background - we don't want to see design walls, rugs, your studio, hanging clips, hands, pins, etc. 

Don't miss this! We have prepared a handy resource of Tips for Successful Art Quilt Photography.
