CALL for ENTRIES: Encaustic Invitational

Posted on December 8, 2012December 16, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

A CANDLE
a day?

One of the things I miss most about being able to shop at the Farmer’s Market or local orchard during the winter is the ability to get wax-free fruit. When I see a waxed apple, I have to assume it is really old. Yes, fruit is waxed to make it “pretty” for consumers, but it is also done to seal in moisture and preserve “weight” for as much as a year. Pick the ugly fruit, please. This next Call uses wax in a much better way. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Conrad Wilde Gallery (Tucson, AZ) for their 8th Annual Encaustic Invitational. This show is curated, not juried, and could be a great opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Humans Being

COMMON
ground

Food is food, just like people are people. Both food and people are individual, come with their own quirky personalities and some play better with others. You just have to learn to approach each individual food (even coffee) and person with respect, eager to learn what they will offer. Approach this next Call the same way. Investigate…

REMINDER: Detroit Print Exchange

I wrote a post a while back about a report I heard that claimed we would all be printing our food in 20 years. Well, I was wrong. Apparently you can print food now thanks to Cornell Creative Machines Lab. OMG, I can’t take this. Luckily, this next Call is about printing of a much better sort. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Detroit Print Exchange for the time we cannot meet. The entry fee is only $20, and this is a golden opportunity for printmakers. Investigate for yourself…

CALL for ENTRIES:
the time we cannot meet

The Detroit Print Exchange is the first of (hopefully many) annual juried art collaborations. Artists are invited to submit an edition of 25 prints and in turn receive a complete portfolio of 20 prints from all 20 contributing artists.

In truth, the The Detroit Print Exchange is a chance to redefine what it means to be a young emerging artist, to prove that good things really do come in small packages, and to build connections between artists working around the country.

The Challenge is to create an edition of 25 prints in response to the words “ the time we cannot meet”. Cryptic yet straight forward the words resonate with missed opportunity and honesty. Today is there truly a time when two people cannot meet? Has technology removed time from how we interact? Explore, create and redefine.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Printmaking

DEADLINE: January 5, 2013

NOTIFICATION: January 31, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $20 for 8 to 10 images

JURY PROCESS: Participants will be selected based on a portfolio of previous work, artist statement and CV, spaces are limited.

AWARDS: The final portfolio will be exhibited in Detroit. Detroit Print Exchange will host an online Portfolio that viewers can access via the internet.

SALES: Limited edition reproductions of the final portfolio will be sold.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Magic of Light

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

COMFORTABLY
light

I normally crave heavy comfort foods in the Winter just like everyone else. However, this year, I find myself still craving the lightness of lemon and fresh herbs. I don’t know if I just haven’t resigned myself to the fact that it is actually Winter, or whether my ever-evolving desire to eat healthier, fresher foods have just changed the work I do in the kitchen. Use this next Call to show how the “lightness” of it all affects YOUR work. Investigate…

Have you heard of “Zen Cooking”? It is the trendy concept that the joy in cooking is in the act of cooking, not the end product. Really? I don’t get it. I cook BECAUSE I love to eat.

This next Call celebrates rarity of of another kind. Investigate…

They are looking to see a range of what landscape images can be: macro details to vast panoramas, conceptual narratives, abstractions, document, or relational gestures. They hope to feature varied points of view from every crook and bend, angle and junction, on the globe. With your unique images, Darkroom Gallery will honor the extents of this Rare planet we call Earth.

JUROR: It is no wonder William Neill has developed a deep, spiritual connection with nature, being a resident of the Yosemite National Park area since 1977. His award-winning photography has been widely collected and exhibited in museums and galleries.

His work has been published in several books, and a retrospective collection of his finest landscape photographs was published by Bulfinch Press/Little, Brown & Co, in 1997, entitled Landscapes of the Spirit. Several periodicals have published his images, and Neill writes a monthly column “On Landscape”, for Outdoor Photographer magazine. Neill’s corporate clients include: Sony Japan, Bayer Corporation, Canon USA, Nike, Nikon, The Nature Company, and Sony Music/Classical.

Perhaps most important to the task of jurying Rare Earth, is Neill’s extensive experience in close observation of others’ work – he has been an instructor of photography for 32 years. Mr. Neill is looking forward to the opportunity to see your work, for the purpose of curating what will be an awe-inspiring exhibition of landscape photographs.

AWARDS: All selected entries are exhibited in the Darkroom Gallery and included in a full color exhibit catalog. Juror’s Choice receives a 30×48″ vinyl exhibit banner featuring their image. People’s Choice gains free entry into a future exhibit.

SALES: Darkroom offers free matting and framing of accepted entries for the duration of each of their exhibitions, subject to standard sizes. Photographers set their own prices if they wish to sell their work and retain all rights to their photographs. For commission details, go to the bottom of the Submission Rules page!

LAZY DAYS
of Winter

Chili mac is in the crock pot right now. Mmmhmm, sophisticated. I spend a lot of time talking about gourmet foods, but it is cold and drizzly outside. And since I cannot spend a couple of balmy days in Louisiana soaking up the warm, humid goodness… I made chili mac instead of grilled portobellos with homemade pesto over flax seed, whole wheat pasta. Don’t judge me–or my chili mac. This next Call is enticing me, if only because I am dreaming of attending a Louisiana opening. Take a look…

My husband and I don’t cook together often. He doesn’t believe in cleaning while you cook; therefore, a simple bowl of popcorn ends with the kitchen looking like someone washed a pack of dogs in the sink–a disaster area.
