The concept of the art quilt has undergone a dynamic redefinition, liberating it from traditional constraints and inviting exploration into diverse forms of layered and stitched structures, in two or three dimensions. Gone are the days of rigid expectations, where an art quilt was confined to a specific composition with a batting core, meticulously crafted front and back, with a standardized sleeve for hanging. Celebrate your innovative spirit by pushing the envelope of what an art quilt can be.
THIS CALL IS FOR AN ONLINE GALLERY
- Open to all SAQA members
- No entry fee (up to 3 entries per artist)
- No size restrictions
- Eligible work must have been completed after August 1, 2022.
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.
