​

Understanding a Curated Exhibit

• Unlike our standard open calls for SAA members, this is a curated exhibition. Submission does not guarantee acceptance. To ensure a cohesive, high-quality show, an independent guest curator will select works based on the criteria listed above (theme, quality, and fit). While we value every entry, the final selection is highly competitive.

 

How to Submit 

• Entry Form: Submit one form per artwork (up to 2 entries)

• Image Upload: Each form requires a clear, well-lit, cropped photo of your piece

• File Naming convention: LastName-Title.jpg (e.g., Smith-SavannahSunset.jpg)

• Reminder: Selection is based on the submitted image. Poor-quality photos (dark, crooked, or uncropped) may result in immediate rejection.

Important Notes

• Drop-off and pick-up times must be respected. The date and time above is the only drop-off window. Late work will not be accepted.
