CALL for ENTRIES: Szpilman Award

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!

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.

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

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

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: AphrodisiArt

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…

REMINDER: Red

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

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.
