BARBECUE!

Why can’t we play with our food?  If I have to get my kid to use green peas as a moat to his mashed potato castle to get dinner eat, well, so be it.  And honestly, you can’t tell me that having the requisite clown face of barbeque sauce while eating ribs isn’t part of the the yum of it all.  I’ll play with my food if I want to.  This next call wants to see what you consider play.  What will it be?

Check out this Call for Entries for Play brought to you by the A. Smith Gallery (Johnson City, Texas). The entry fee is low, and you might be inspired to create a little green space of your own. Take a look…

“Ahhhhhh….play.  When I was a little girl I had an imaginary friend named Jingo.  We contentedly played for hours.  I even insisted my mother set a place at the dinner table for my special friend.  Now that I’m all grown up, I seem to do much of my playing on my iPhone.  Angry Birds and photography apps occupy my play time.   So however, whenever and with whomever, look through your viewfinder and see what kind of “Play” you can capture. “ — from the A. Smith Gallery website.

BERRIES

I AM an emotional eater, and “grumpy” is not an unusual reason for a snack at my house.  Just like when I am sick, it is comfort (read junk) food that elevates my mood.  Macaroni and cheese, potato chips and dip, tortilla chips and salsa, peanut butter and donuts (this one may just be me), baked brie ‘n’ raspberries…all reasons for a happy face and, in my case, a larger arse.  But sometimes, you have to do something just because it makes you happy.  This next Call makes me happy, and I hope that is a good enough reason for you to enter.  Take a look…

MARINATE

My favorite Mexican food is fish. Many Americans have been lulled into thinking of the local fast food taco as representative of Mexican cuisine.  But you haven’t eaten truly representative food, in my opinion, until you have had authentic fish seviche marinated in citrus and chiles. This Call encourages you to capture your view of the issues that surround the Mexico border!   Say it with art…

Check out the Call for Entries for Beyond the Border from the Coconino Center for the Arts in Flagstaff, AZ. The entry fee is standard, but you’re allowed to send details…even of two-dimensional work. For those of you wanting to add Arizona to your resume, this is a GREAT opportunity!

Just a year or so after the 25th anniversary of my birth, I began my love affair with cheese. Well, more accurately, I began working behind the counter of a gourmet cheese shop.  A world that had previously been defined by cheddar, Swiss and American cheeses now suddenly included choices between cow, goat and even sheep’s milk cheeses.  Sometimes 25 years is the turning point.  This next call wants to see your perspective on the past 25 years’ events.  Whatcha got?

June Installationz

 

This June, ARTs East New York is hosting a pop-up gallery tour and invites artists in all disciplines to submit work for exhibition relating to the three themes below.  All three exhibitions will be part of a one-night pop-up gallery tour on June 22nd in East New York. I ART East New York will be displayed in establishments around the New Lots Triangle.  Juneteeth will be showcased about the perimeter of the New Lots Library.  Threadz will have a month long run at the ARTs East New York gallery.

ART East New York:  East New York might be somewhere you visit, the place where you work or the community you call home.  Even if you’ve only heard about the neighborhood, we invite you to explore East New York through your art.  Pieces that most creatively and positively portray the culture, character and community of this Brooklyn destination will be chosen for exhibition.

Juneteenth: A Revelation of Freedom:  Juneteenth commemorates the day on which African Americans in Texas, who had been kept enslaved two and a half years past the abolition of slavery, finally received news of their freedom.  For this exhibit, we are requesting works that celebrate this moment of enlightenment, pay homage to ancestors who afforded this autonomy and investigate the African diaspora at large as a legacy of liberation.  Pieces that best honor and examine the legacy of the African experience in the United States will be included in this important exhibit.

Learn more about ARTs East New York!Threadz: Untwining Mistaken Messages Within the Fabric of Hip Hop.  The tragic murder of Trayvon Martin forces us to think seriously about perceptions of Hip Hop culture and its representations in mainstream society.  The reigning image of Black youth centers on the Hip Hop aesthetic, a mode of expression that can be identified by styles of art and fashion.  We ask artists to examine Hip Hop as a depiction of the urban lifestyle, its reception by the larger public and its potential for positively reflecting the African American youth experience.  This exhibition is being held in honor of Trayvon Martin, and works speaking directly to this heartbreaking death, and its connection to Hip Hop, are especially encouraged.

CALL for ENTRIES: Ten Second Film Festival

please

I am the soup queen. I accidentally found out during a run of bad weather one winter during which we couldn’t make it to the grocery store that I am really good at making soup. I had a whole series of artwork happen because I accidentally put myself in a situation where I was trapped at home too. My point? Maybe life is just a series of accidents, and with any luck, maybe more of them will be happy than not. If you’ve accidentally (or purposefully) shot 10 seconds of good film, here’s your chance to put it to good use.

Check out this Call for Entries from The Soap Factory for Ten Second Film Festival. It is free to enter. You can email your entry. And your work could have an audience of thousands. What do you have to lose?

I love the art of the secret ingredient.  I long to have someone taste a dish I have created and wonder, “What IS that flavor?”  I like it when you take a completely ordinary dish like mashed potatoes and add an unexpected dash of dry mustard that leaves people wondering.  It is food that creates its own dinner conversation–the ultimate compliment.

If your audience is standing indefinitely motionless, entranced by the possibilities in your work and in devising an infinitude of scenarios and alternate endings, then you’ve made an image that will inspire gallery visitors with the beauty of ambiguity, mystery and perplexity.

Photographers created images that baffled the viewer as early at the 1860s; Henry Peach Robinson was a pioneer of combination printing, creating the illusory photo montage long before there was Photoshop.  Darkroom Gallery wants to see your images that lead the imagination to the edge, encouraging the mind to leap.  Multiple exposures, constructions, staged, anything goes, just leave them guessing.

Every photograph tells a story.  When part of a body of work, the photograph takes on a new meaning, becoming part of a bigger and more complete narrative.  A portfolio allows the photographer to explore the complexities of their subject, and provide context that gives it richness and meaning that is more than the sum of its parts.  The Kiernan Gallery is pleased to announce its first annual portfolio showcase.
