Summer Give Away!

Well, it's almost summer and therefore we'll start off the season with giving away a copy of the SAQA 'sightlines' publication.

This catalog contains 64 pages, hardcover, with 6-page gatefold that opens in the center illustrating the entire exhibit.
Each artist has a four-page spread with an image of their installation, detail image, artist statement, and artist bio and also includes a curator's introduction from Virginia Spiegel.
