The SAQA European and Middle East Blog will no longer have new posts

The SAQA European and Middle East blog will no longer have new posts. We feel that the SAQA European and Middle East Facebooks and Instagram are a better way of communicating.

Our public Facebook which is open to everyone is allows us to publicise exhibitions and events is at

https://www.facebook.com/SAQAEuropeMiddleEast/



If you are a member of the SAQA and live in Europe or the Middle East you can ask to be a member of our Facebook member area. You will need to answer some questions and will be allowed to join the member area if you live in the region or it is your second region.  This Facebook is:

We also have an Instragram account which is open to all. Search for saqa-europe-middle-east on Instragram. Posts have the hash tag #saqaeurope.

Stewarding the SAQA Gallery at Festival of Quilts, Birmingham NEC

SAQA Europe & Middle East - Call for Exhibition Stewards at FoQ 2019! 

 Once again Sandy Snowden is volunteering to organize the stewards for the SAQA global exhibit "Dusk to Dawn" at this year’s Festival of Quilts from 1-4 August 2019 in Birmingham, UK.
 If you are planning to attend the FoQ this year, please consider donating a bit of your time there to steward the exhibit - after all, it’s YOUR exhibition and your your chance as a SAQA member to talk with the audience about SAQA, its benefits and its mission and it’s a prime opportunity to meet fellow SAQA artists not only from the UK and our region but from all over the world!

 It’s a lot of fun - and you are getting something in return, too. As in previous years, the time slots will be 1 ½ hours. AND each volunteer will receive a ticket for the whole 4 days of the show!

 Times are as follows: 10-11:30; 11:30-13:00(1:00pm); 13:00-14:30(2:30pm); 14:30-16:00(4:00pm); 16:00-17:30(5:30pm).

The list of volunteers will be submitted near to the time for the Festival of Quilts show. As in previous years, tickets will be held at the box office and can be collected there.

 To reserve your spot on the list, please email Sandy (snsnowden@harmonyinformation.com) with your preferred time slot and date soon! I’m personally looking forward to meeting many of you in person at the FoQ!

 See you soon,
Birgit
