CALL for ENTRIES: International Digital – LACDA

Posted on March 11, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

BEAM ME UP
some chocolate

As I have mentioned on so many occasions, I love kitchen gadgets. But, with my recent move, I have realized that there are some specialized gadgets that serve no real purpose. I own a CoCoMotion. Yep, it looks a little like a blender but it is more like a margarita machine in reverse…it makes hot chocolate. And, while the value of having hot chocolate at the perfect temperature to prevent the scalding of your tongue is important. There have to be limits. This next Call is an opportunity for you to show off your more useful technology skills. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Los Angeles Center for Digital Art (LACDA) for their 2012 International Juried Competition. The prize is the ultimate… a solo show, AND they will print the winner’s work FREE. What an excellent opportunity!

REMINDER: Games+Learning+Society

SSSSSSUSHI!

Grocery store sushi. Regardless of how you feel about sushi, I think the common reaction to the grocery store variety is a twinge of fright. But, be brave…sometimes it is great. Uncommonly good things can sometimes be found in uncommon locations. This next call offers a delightful opportunity to show art in a common location as a part of an uncommon gathering. Yummy…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Games+Learning+Society

“This is a general call for new work (completed in the last two years) or proposals for new work for the second annual Games and Art exhibition featured at the 8th annual Games+Learning+Society (GLS) conference to be held in June of 2012. Narrative is an essential tool of understanding and communication of ideas. Humanities from history to politics to science are understood and disseminated through narrative tools. Characters and bildungsroman are the flesh and blood of narratives, which link us to our past and help guide our vision of the future. Narrative is a thread which represents, interprets, and shapes our world. Our narrative is often truth for lack of capital-T-Truth as we manipulate it so it may manipulate us. Perhaps most importantly, it is a double-edged sword which grants us access to experiences which may be beyond our reach–independent of space, time, and reality. This exhibition seeks to explore the power of character and narrative through games and art.”

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists.

MEDIA: Open to virtually any form from traditional practices in painting, sculpture, photography, and printmaking, to new media, performance, film, and digital video, as well as new playable games, game art, and game-like forms.

DEADLINE: March 15th 2012

ENTRY FEE: There is no entry fee.

JUROR: Arnold Martin, the Games+Learning+Society Artist-in-Residence, will curate the exhibition.

SALES: Artists are welcome to sell the work in the show directly, GLS will not broker sales or take a commission.

Posted on March 7, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CANNOLI ME!

Pasta makes me happy. Cannoli are divine. I have a weak spot for Italian food of all sorts, actually, pasta or no pasta. But Greek food floats my boat as well. Maybe it is just the Mediterranean influence in general that I love. This next call gives you the opportunity to visit Italy. Eat a cannoli for me, please…

REMINDER: Night Light

Posted on March 6, 2012March 6, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

I’M BAD,
Yeah, I’m Bad…

Expiration dates on food should be BIGGER! I moved this week and found coconut milk that expired in 2008. That means I have probably consumed some expired food unknowingly because I rarely check the dates. This next call is going to expire soon. Consider this your public health announcement..

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Night Light. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($20), and I love that they will provide free matting and framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Night Light

Night photography reveals a world that we do not consciously see and offers photographers unique creative opportunities.

Night and day, dark and light – one implies the absence of the other. But like yin yang, each has a bit of the other. The surprising thing to first time night photographers is how their images reveal things that the mind’s eye does not see. Different light sources reveal their true colors. Compared to daylight, directed and weaker light creates drama, contrast, mystery and mood.

The dynamic range of light at night tends to be more in line with our tools abilities. Of course there are technical challenges with shooting in low light, but also tremendous creative opportunities. That’s what Darkroom Gallery wants to show with this exhibit.

Do you work with existing light – or do you introduce your own? Maybe you paint with light emitting light brushes. How have you approached shooting at night to express your vision? They want to see.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

MEDIA:
Photography.

DEADLINE:
March 21, 2012

NOTIFICATION:
