Gallerribba - an online gallery for small art for the wall





Galleribba is an international online gallery for small art for the wall. It has 42 members and new members are joining on a regular base.

I started Galleribba in June 2012. My intention was to try it for a year and see how it would go. It turned out to be very successful and quite a few sales have been made. What I like about Galleribba is that we have a mixture of well-known fiber artists and relative beginners, many of them SAQA members.

My first idea was to make a gallery with small works that would fit the Ikea Ribba frames, hence the name ‘Galleribba’, but this would have been too restricting for the artists.
The maximum size for work on Galleribba is 30 cm on either side. It can be matted, on a canvas, with a hanging sleeve, framed or any other way of displaying it on the wall.

Members have their own gallery page showing their work and at the bottom visitors of the gallery can find their website and email address. Should anyone be interested in buying a piece or for any other information, they can contact the artist for further details.

If you want to know more about Galleribba you can contact me.

Regional SAQA yahoo-group discontinued

Unfortunately, Lutgard has let us know that she won't be able to continue as moderator of the regional SAQA yahoo group any longer. Because discussions on the group site haven't been exactly lively lately, we have then decided to discontinue the group and hope that the blog will be able to serve communication needs withing in the region beyond newsletter topics.
We would like to thank Lutgard for her commitment and support of SAQA and wish her all the best for the future.

Five Europe/Middle East members chosen for "text messages"

For SAQA's newest upcoming exhibition, text messages, works by five members from the region Europe/Middle East were chosen to be part in the show. Five out of 34, that is a decent quota!

As the board requested that no full images of the quilts chosen be published before the first opening of the show at the International Quilt Festival in Houston in November, we will show only detail images here until then.
