Yes, the label must contain the title of the work, your name and address, and telephone number and should be adhered to the back of the work for wall-hung pieces.
If your piece is not wall-hung, you can attach your label to the bottom of the piece or somewhere it is not visible. If there is no place for a label (a two-sided ceiling hung or installation piece), just ensure all contact information is included with your piece
Sleeves / Hanging Requirements
For wall-hung art, a sleeve attached to the top of the back of the quilt is preferred but not required. Please follow these procedures:
- The sleeve must be a tube that is 4 or 5 inches wide after sewing.
- A sleeve should be attached one inch from the top of the quilt and should extend to only one inch inside each edge of the work.
- The fabric should be good quality, tightly woven, light to medium weight cloth. Thick, stiff fabrics, such as duck or canvas, are not recommended.
- The sleeve should have approximately ½ inch ease, room for a rod not to show a bump from the front.
- For SAQA global exhibitions, hanging rods are provided.
A sleeve for the bottom of the quilt is also permitted and is recommended if the quilt is lightweight or has problems hanging flat or straight. This sleeve should be 3” wide finished.
Note: the instructions below reference a 5 inch sleeve - other sizes are acceptable if they are more appropriate for your piece.
How to Make a Hanging Sleeve / Rod Pocket »
If your piece cannot hang from a standard hanging rod (sheer pieces, ceiling-hung, 3D, etc.), you may asked to provide your own hanging apparatus. The submission form will ask for additional details.
PLEASE NOTE: While a sleeve is preferred, other alternative hanging methods may be used if it's more appropriate for your artwork. This can include a wired slats or similar.
