Threshold (SAQA Virtual Gallery) - Call for Entry

A threshold marks the place where one space or condition gives way to another, be it physical,  metaphorical, or metaphysical. Taken collectively, a threshold exists not as a simple dividing line, but as a charged and dynamic space - a site of transition, uncertainty, opportunity, and potential transformation. In tangible form, a threshold is a physical point of passage - the opening, boundary, or edge that defines how space is entered or exited, where physical movement intersects with meaning. Beyond the physical, a threshold marks moments of change within our human experience, where roles or identity shift, environmental or economic conditions evolve, and new states are entered. At its most abstract, a threshold marks the limits of perception, knowledge, and existence itself, defining the edge of what can be known,  sensed, or expressed. Where existence meets non-existence, the visible meets invisible, the real meets imagined. 

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.
