Water is essential for human life, not only to drink, but also to play in. From jumping in a puddle, dive bombing into a pool, watching fish jump in a stream to kayaking through rapids. We love to make it splash. Splashing can be fun, annoying or even dangerous. What makes your splash? Maybe it is just dropping an ice cube in a tall glass of water.
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.
I am Margaret Knepper, a retired software engineer. I escape the Florida summer heat to return to my home state of Wisconsin. I became interested in quilting during the American Bicentennial, but didn’t have time to quilt. Many years later I took a night time quilting class, not the star pupil. I quickly discovered I have a tendency not to follow patterns and instructions. I think Susan Carlson’s book really opened my eyes to quilt possibilities. I have had many quilts rejected for exhibitions, but a few accepted in area, regional, and global exhibits. During retirement I’ve tried to improve my drawing skills. Currently, my quilting focus is trying to tell a story with the quilt.
