DECIDE
already

I detest large menus. I can usually make a pretty quick decision, but I married the most indecisive man on the planet. Large menus mean that I am going to have wait even longer to eat. Sometime being able to have anything you want isn’t really what you want. This next Call is completely open, and for some of you it will be a hard choice. Good luck…

Check out the Call for Entries from the Light, Space & Time Gallery for their online Open competition. You know that I am not a huge fan of online competitions; however, I think of this as digital publication which is always a good thing. The entry fee is dirt cheap, and the value of inbound links to your website is priceless. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Global Mail Art

Posted on September 18, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CALL ME
a chicken

I am obsessed with food because I love the TASTE of food. I am not into eating foods for the sake of saying that I have eaten them. Century eggs are a perfect example. I cannot think of a reason to eat a 100-year-old egg that has been preserved in clay, ash and lime. Telling me that the yolk has the smell of sulfur and ammonia does not make me any more likely to want to eat it. Someone else already has a job eating Bizarre Foods, so I’ll pass. This next Call is a much better way to celebrate 100 years. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from LULA Lake Worth Arts for the Global Mail Art Exhibition in celebration of Lake Worth Florida’s Centennial Celebration. This is an all-hung show that might help some of you pad your resumes. Plus, mail art is fun. I love to see what I can get the US Postal system to take….

CALL for ENTRIES:
Global Mail Art

Calligraphers and artists are invited to participate in LULA’s Global Mail Art Exhibition: Lake Worth 100. Mail art is the most democratic form of art. The direct exchange of creative work is a worldwide cultural movement that began in the early 1960’s and involves sending visual art on envelopes. Traveling the world through mail art can be a rewarding experience that operates within a spirit of “anything goes” which brings to the surface everybody’s creative side.

Decorated envelopes are one-of-a-kind artworks with the handwritten address becoming part of the work. Please join LULA and send a decorated envelope as we celebrate Lake Worth’s Centennial.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Mail art. Please use hand-executed lettering to address your envelope. You may use paint, ink, colored pencil, rubber stamps, or other standard media for illustrations on your envelope.

DEADLINE: November 15, 2013 (This is not a typo, folks. The deadline is over a year away!)

NOTIFICATION: Sign your envelope in the bottom right hand corner on back and include your email address and they will notify you of it’s arrival.

ENTRY FEE: None

JURY: None (all hung)

AWARDS: All mail art will be exhibited throughout Downtown Lake Worth during the Centennial year and linked to the Lake Worth Centennial web site, the City of Lake Worth web site, and can be viewed on the LULA’s Global Mail Art Exhibition: Lake Worth 100 Facebook page. In addition, daily arrivals will be posted on their blog.

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstract is Real

Posted on September 17, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ABSTRACTLY
tasting

I find deconstructed food fascinating. I love to see a chef’s abstract interpretation of a classic like Caesar Salad or Boston Clam Chowder. I NEVER expect it to actually taste like the classic dish, but I have never been disappointed. Really. It is truly art on a plate. This next Call is all about the Abstract. Intrigued?

Check out this Call for Entries from EWNS Art Project (France) for the Abstract is Real exhibit. Selection for this show gets you into an online gallery, AND pre-selects you the Paris gallery exhibition in 2012/2014. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Szpilman Award

Posted on September 16, 2012September 16, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ROCK or ROLL
foods

Some foods are fleeting. I love it when foods are only available for a couple of weeks. It is a snooze-and-you-lose kind of situation. Romanesco broccoli is a great example. It is a fabulously alien looking vegetable, and the season isn’t all that short, but it is rarely found for more than a couple of weeks at grocers. This next Call is all about the value in the fleeting. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Szpilman Award from Szpilman (a group of artists, based in Berlin and Frankfurt, Germany) given to ephemeral works. There is no entry fee, but the postmark deadline is just around the corner. Don’t miss this opportunity!

CALL for ENTRIES: Arte Laguna

Posted on September 15, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

NIGHT CAP

Dessert wines are one of my many guilty pleasures. Biscotti is not just for dipping into your espresso. I’ll take a lovely glass of vin santo with the lingering taste of honey and apricots with a touch of cream. Keep your coffee or espresso (which traditionally comes before vin santo BTW). If you end up at the opening of the collective exhibit for this next Call, have a glass for me. Better yet, bring me a bottle of vin santo back as a souvenir…it beats a t-shirt anytime!

Check out this Call for Entries for the 7th Annual International Arte Laguna Prize for Video or Performance.

INKJET
ICE CREAM?

Printable food? Really? I was in 5 o’clock traffic a few weeks ago when I hear the radio report that scientists believe we will no longer have to go to the grocery store in another 20 years. We are supposed to be able to print our own food at home. Excuse me? I take solace in the fact that he compared it to “something like the Star Trek replicators.” This next Call is for an application we would have all thought ridiculously space age as well, if asked 20 years ago.

CALL for ENTRIES: Inside Out

Posted on September 13, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

No Cherry on Top,
please

Some taste aversions are simply irreversible. Whole cherry tomatoes and catfish–never again. I bit into a rotten cherry tomato once. Now they have to be cut in half or I can’t even think about eating them without gagging. I won’t tell the catfish story so I don’t ruin a perfectly good fish for anyone. I have absolutely NO aversion to this irreversible Call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Storybook Fragments

Posted on September 12, 2012September 12, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

MORE GREENS
and beans

Children are picky eaters. No matter how many green beans you feed them as toddlers, the chances are good that they will go through a chicken fingers & fries stage. We all assume it is because their taste buds haven’t evolved. But research indicates that a child’s taste buds are MORE sensitive than adults. My kid will eat brussel sprouts now. The war has been won, or the taste buds have dulled. Who knows? This next call is all about the child’s perspective. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Storybook Fragments from Naming Ceremony online showcase. This is a really inexpensive ($20 for 6 images), and the links back to your website could be valuable. Don’t miss the possible art publication opportunity either…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Storybook Fragments

For this exhibition, Naming Ceremony is looking for art for children that seems to be part of a larger narrative. They want art the invites a young child’s imagination to expand the narrative beyond what they see in the picture, to get them thinking about what the meanings are “between the lines” and allow them to grow from the experience. Send in your best interpretation of this initiative while making sure it is child-friendly.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All two-dimensional media will be considered

DEADLINE: November 30, 2012

CALL for ENTRIES: Collectors Choice

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

TWO, FOUR, SIX
and ATE

I collect food-specific dishes. Weird, I know. I have ceramic turtles for wasabi, three-legged lava rock bowls for salsa, futuristic pods for olives, individual berry bowls, and there will be more. (Maybe these egg cups). Always the proper tool for the job, you could say. This next Call is really ALL about the collectors. See if this one is right for you…

Here’s an interesting Call for Entries from the Sylvia White Gallery in Ventura, California for the 2013 Collectors’ Choice. I am intrigued, this is a great opportunity for a few of you, but the challenge is in figuring out if YOUR work is something this anonymous group of collectors want. Investigate for your self…

CALL for ENTRIES:
2013 Collectors’ Choice

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Paintings, mixed media, paper, photography, sculpture, installation, digital, video and performance.

DEADLINE: November 15, 2012 at 11:00 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST) / Midnight, Mountain Standard Time (MST)

ENTRY FEE: $35 (USD) for 3 images, $5 each additional image, maximum 10.

JURORS: Each art collector may select one or more pieces by artists that are not currently represented in their private collection. Collectors’ names will be kept anonymous until the opening reception. Editor’s Note: My assumption is these are collectors that purchase work in the Sylvia White Gallery. Because they are anonymous, the best recommendation I have for research is to spend some time investigate the artists the gallery represents, since in theory, it is their work these collectors are purchasing–at least in part.

AWARDS: Selected artists will participate in 2013 Collector’s Choice January 2-February 9, at Sylvia White Gallery.

SALES: Unless otherwise specified, accepted works will be considered for sale at the price indicated and 30% commission will be retained by The Sylvia White Gallery.

CALL for ENTRIES: Shadows

Posted on September 10, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

OUCH! OUCH!
OUCH!

I dislike overhead lighting, except in the kitchen. Much of my home is dimly lit; I prefer soft lamp lighting. But, my art studio and my kitchen are the exceptions. I’ve injured myself with everything from an Xacto knife to myriad of small and large chef knives. Lessons learned. Shadows are not the best place to create fine art or fine food. This next Call wants you to expose your shadows. Whatcha think?

Check out this Call to Artists for Shadows from the Linus Galleries (California). The exhibit offers an online listing as well as the possibility for a showing in one of their brick and mortar galleries. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Shadows

As Joni Mitchell said, “Every picture has it’s shadows, and it has some source of light. Blindness, blindness and sight.”

Some see the darkness.
