SAQA NM Call for Entry
WEATHER or NOT
SAQA NM is pleased to announce a new call for entry for 2021 at the Capitol Rotunda Gallery in Santa Fe. The theme is weather in all its forms. From sunny summer days to stormy winter nights, weather is an integral part of all our lives. Abstract and representational work will be considered, two-dimensional wall-hung work (including framed pieces) and free-standing, three-dimensional sculpture may also be submitted.
Selected portions of the show will travel to the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, in September 2021.
Three wall-hung works and two 3-D pieces may be entered per artist, for a total of 5 possible entries. Submissions will be juried by Dr. Cynthia Sanchez, Curator of the NM State Capitol Art Collections. Artists will be responsible for delivering accepted work to the gallery on the specified dates with required hanging materials. All wall-hung works must include a sleeve and slat for hanging.
Entry Fee: There will be no charge to enter, but a $45 (total) fee will be required of each artist if accepted to offset costs.
Size Requirements: Wall-hung work: 24in x 24in minimum; 72in x 72in maximum.
It is the policy of the Capitol art system to display only New Mexico artists; therefore, residency is required to enter. All entrants must be current members of SAQA.
