On Saturday, the 26th of September, SASA held a very successful Selection Day for our showcase exhibition of the year, the Annual Exhibition. I wish to forward a big thank you to all members who participated and brought their work along to be included. We had an excellent turnout of 206 members participating, who submitted an exceptional total of 591 works for consideration. Once again, as was the case last year, we had a record number of participating artists and entries, with approximately 100 more artworks submitted and 100 more members taking part than the previous year! It was also encouraging to see how many different mediums were represented, with an increase in the number of sculptures submitted, as well. It is surely a very humbling experience to view this many excellent works in one place at one time, and a truly daunting task for the six selectors to score each work, determining which works are displayed and which not, on the exhibition. The judges and all of the exhausted but hard-working council members and volunteer helpers deserve much praise for the part they all played in the success of the day.
