PHOTOS - And here are the guidelines for the photos: (important)
- Submit one overall DIGITAL image and one detail DIGITAL image for each piece of artwork in the portfolio.
- Save your digital images as a high quality JPEG file (No TIFF files).
- Finished image should be at least 2100 pixels on the longest side and not to exceed 4200 pixels. (some of the quilt entrants used ONLY the 2100 pixel statement and did not go ahead and read that the files can be larger/higher resolution - the 2100 is a minimum)
We encourage you to send the best photos you can. Remember that the images you send are the only representations of your work the juror will see when considering your entry. It is strongly recommended that you have professional shots taken of your work. Photos should be in sharp focus, showing all sides of the art quilt, well lit, with correct color and no distortions. For more information on how to properly photograph your work, please refer to the guidelines on the SAQA website.
To date we have 49 wonderful quilts entered... and while I have not see photos, the artists statements that are included in the quilt registrations are a stunning representation of the artists we are so proud of here in our Central Canada SAQA family. Thank you Central Canada artists...
Hoping YOU are working this weekend to finish and submit your Exhibition Registration. Best wishes to our artists as we approach the December Jury Process.
