Entering Juried Shows

For many SAQA members, entering shows is no mystery. But for those of you
starting down the road of entering your work into juried shows, I am doing a
series of posts on the process. Part of it is just my experience, but for
the last year I have been on the exhibition committee for SAQA and am
learning a lot more from the inside. If you are new to entering juried
shows and have questions, maybe you will find the answers on my blog:
