Southwest Represent: SAQA New Mexico Trunk Show
This is a showcase for our New Mexico SAQA Regional Members and members who have selected the NM region as their second region. The purpose of this show is to present the diversity of our member artist’s talent and support SAQA’s mission to “promote the art quilt.” The trunk allows audiences to engage with the quilts in an up-close and personal way. Each quilt will be mounted on a backing board and sealed inside a clear envelope. The artist’s location, artwork title, artist statement, and information about techniques and materials are featured on the back.
Schedule of Important Dates
Call open: January 1 2026
Entry Deadline: April 1, 2026
All work will travel indefinitely with the SAQA NM Regional Trunk Showcase.
The details: The size of each entry must be 7 by 10 inches, either orientation.
All work must include a label securely fastened on the back with the artist’s name, title of the work, and completion date. Each piece of work entered must be accompanied by an entry form. All artwork must meet the SAQA definition of an art quilt: The art quilt is a creative visual work that is layered and stitched or that references this form of stitched layered structure. Please do not use fragile materials on your quilt as these will be stacked, packed, repacked, and handled by both children and adults. Fee: $10.00 per entry. Members may submit one entry. These funds will be used in our region for Trunk Show display materials and exhibit preparation needs. The entry fee is payable through the SAQA Store https://www.saqa.com/online-store
