I wrote on Thursday about my disappointing experience with the new SAQA book, and posted a similar message on the SAQA email list that evening.
So I was pleased to read an email message last night from Martha Sielman, SAQA executive director. She wrote, "I have just confirmed with Schiffer that they do offer a discount for contributing artists. If you are one of the artists with work in the book, you can place a one-time order for up to 25 copies at a 40% discount. You just need to pay standard freight. SAQA will email the artists on Monday to let them know about this discount offer."
Perhaps not the ideal solution, but definitely a good thing to do now. I'm glad the SAQA leadership apparently was listening to the opinions of us members and observers who called them out for not giving artists the respect they/we deserve.
I hope the next time a big, important book comes out SAQA will do the right thing from the start.
