CALL for ENTRIES: AphrodisiArt

Posted on September 9, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

NO OYSTERS,
thanks

Eating is a guilty pleasure for me, as you know. I sometimes think it may be the single most important thing my husband and I have in common. But honestly, all foods are aphrodisiacs for us, ha. I suppose that is a good thing since his shellfish allergy makes oysters deadly. This next call is all about aphrodisi-art. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) for Eat, Play, Love-A Sensual Journey into AphrodisiArt. The cash prizes are great, but there is also an opportunity for publication. Take a look…

CREAM CHEESE ONLY,
hold the cake

I am not a fan of red velvet cake. Someone will be at my door any moment to evict me from the South, but I am just don’t get it. Most of the red velvets I have tasted are lightly cocoa-flavored cakes with the plastic-y overtone of excessive amounts of artificial red coloring. I wonder if beetroot can be used to color with adding the flavor of beetroot? Hmmm. Iwill be patient. Someone will come up with one I love eventually. In the meantime, don’t miss this RED Call for Entries. The deadline fast approaches…

CALL for ENTRIES: Changes Abound!

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

LET US
eat cake

Can you believe we have arrived at our three year anniversary here at AAAD? This is post 812. What has changed in three years? I receive A LOT of email. I love the foodie email, updates on careers, and recipes, recipes, recipes.

Most of the galleries and artists that contact me are looking for exposure. They aren’t asking for reviews, recommendations or glowing critiques. Most are confident in their abilities to prove themselves and simply need a little help getting their gallery opportunities or their personal artwork out there. I applaud your motivation.

As usual, every year I glance back at the sites older pages and make a few updates to the visual style and ridiculous wordiness of my writing style. I made a few changes today, and most of them are in response to your requests for additional opportunities for exposure. There are lots of opportunities for Exposure on AAAD. Take a look…

Submit your Call – With 1000+ daily readers, you’ll receive a wide diversity of entries. Guidelines for submissions have been updated.
Featured Artist Submissions – Enter the $5 Art Contest for a post featuring your work, an interview and links back to your website. Yes, this went from $2 to $5. Still cheap.
Sponsors – You can now advertise your art-related business on AAAD. This isn’t Google Ads, folks. Art-related business only. I reserve the right to say “no” if it isn’t the right fit for the site. Visit the new Be a Sponsor page for more information.
Food Sponsors – Want me to try a new food? Click here.
Individual Artists – I am still figuring out the best way to offer an unjuried and inexpensive way for artists to share a page that links back to each website without just making it a long alphabetical list. Boring. Give me a little while, and I’ll get back to you.

So thank you for three great years. I have got the 3-year itch…so hang on folks. AAAD will be undergoing a few experimental changes over the next few weeks. As always, I welcome your feedback.

Have a Wonderful September!

CALL for ENTRIES: Embracing our Differences

Posted on September 5, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

TABLE
for 40?

I do not understand the over-size food craze. I occasionally watch Man vs. Food, and each time I wonder, “Will he ever want to eat that again?” Why would anyone order a 7lb burger, 5 gallons of ice cream or 4 lbs of pancakes unless they were having a party. The 10 ft. sub sandwich, that I understand. Party food. But where is the fun in making yourself ill with a food you may now love but never again be able to face? Well, this next call is all about over-sized goodness. Check it out…

Check out this great Call for Entries for the Annual Embracing our Differences Exhibit in Sarasota, FL. And in addition to possibly getting your artwork on a billboard …don’t forget there is NO ENTRY FEE!

CALL for ENTRIES: 12 12 International

CRAZY
’bout
SNAILS

There are a few things that I simply can’t feed my friends, in-laws, and co-workers. If I were to show up at a party with escargot, the rumors of my impending insanity would abound. In the art world, I have learned that I simply can’t show my work in an area where fine artisan crafts are what sells. Well, this next Call has a juror that I suspect you can’t freak out. Investigate for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 2012 International Photo Exhibition from the 12 12 Gallery (Richmond, VA). This juror is known for his own visually provocative work, and I know I have work I can’t show ANYWHERE that I plan to enter. How about you?

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: 12 12 International, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES:
International Photo Exhibition

ELIGIBILITY: Artists around the world age 18+ may submit up to 3 images for consideration. Additional images may be submitted at an additional cost for up to a total of 5 works. Work previously exhibited at 12 12 Gallery is not eligible.

MEDIA: Any photographic process

DEADLINE: September 24, 2012

NOTIFICATION: October 5, 2012

ENTRY FEE: Each entrant will pay a non-refundable $25 (US) entry fee for 3 images. Additional images, at $5 (US) each, for up to 5 total images, may be submitted.

JUROR: Ignatius Widiapradja, Associate Professor of Art and Design, has been teaching at Drake University since 1985. He has taught studio courses in Painting, Drawing, 2 Dimensional Design, and Digital Photography and Editing.

Professor Widiapradja’s current creative works are primarily in painting and digital print. In his works, the articulation of images and spatial construction form a cohesive multidimensional reality that exhibits a state of constant flux.

It is the mapping of overlapping memories, future projections and multidimensional processes of awareness. In our memories, images, events, feelings, desire, and space happen simultaneously and are inseparable and intertwined. Riveting, provocative, and meticulously articulate in their design, Professor Widiapradja’s digital compositions combine artist-captured images that represent landscape, travel, nature, portrait, studio, commercial, and fine art photography.

His international aesthetic represents the majestic Himalayas, the peoples of Indonesia, Nepal, Bhutan, Buddhist temples, and much more; electronically sewn together to bring new perspective and juxtaposition to familiar objects of nature and human form.

AWARDS: Cash and prizes up to $1000 will be awarded solely at the discretion of the exhibition juror. Recognition of work by Professor Widiapradja may also be designated to the extent he deems appropriate. These designations may not include a cash prize. Also, 12 12 Gallery Director, Martin McFadden, will award a Director’s Choice Award.

SALES: All work must be for sale. 12 12 Gallery will receive a 35% commission.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Unreal

Posted on September 2, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

PATTY pan CAKE

I just returned from my local apple orchard which also serves as a farmer’s market. I bought what you would expect: peaches, apples, tomatoes. But I also came home with patty pan squash. Some folks call them custard squash, and that should tell you how decadent they taste–out of this world, surreal, defying all logic. I have to admit that the fact that they are shaped like flying saucers doesn’t hurt their appeal either. This next Call is looking for your view of the unreal. Investigate further…

Check out this Call for Entries for The Unreal from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry is very reasonable, and the juror is well-documented. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Unreal

Our dreams combine the ordinary and the seemingly nonsensical, where rules of physics and logic do not apply. Artists exploring this realm depict remembered fantasies or create new ones from their waking imaginations. Their work is a distortion of reality, making everyday objects and environments alien and magical. In photography, optical illusions and modern digital tools have allowed artists to create new visual worlds that blur the line between the real and fantastic. For The Unreal, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images that explore the surreal and otherworldly.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE: September 18, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Artists will be notified of accepted work via email approximately eight days after the submission deadline.

ENTRY FEE: 5 for $25, each add’l $5

Recent solo exhibitions have been held at the Griffin Museum of Photography, Centro Cultural Recoleta, El Cabildo de la Ciudad de Cordoba, Espacio Foto, Etherton Gallery, Wall Space Gallery, De Santos Gallery, and KLOMPCHING Gallery. Rosenthal’s first monograph, Ken Rosenthal: Photographs 2001-2009 was released in 2011.

All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice will also be announced.

SALES: Artists exhibiting at the gallery may offer their work for sale. The Kiernan Gallery retains 30% of the sale price as commission.

Anyone featured in the first 6 months will get priority for re-feature later once we’ve got an audience built up.” –Paula Shaughnessy, Editor

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All mediums are eligible, although she is partial to non-digital work: paint, sculpture, photography & mixed media.
