ONIONS
will make you cry

Much of the time I spend in my kitchen is with my critters hoping for a morsel of anything I am cooking.  They seem most attracted to the kitchen when I am cooking onions and garlic–two foods dogs can’t digest.  We always want what we can’t have, eh?  This next Call wants YOU, so don’t play hard to get.  Show them your creatures…

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

Creatures

 

From beloved pets to exotic wildlife, animals hold a certain fascination for photographers. They serve us as faithful guardians, trusted steeds, and loyal family members. We invoke them to highlight human traits both good and bad, but also search for our humanity within them.

Photographing both the tame and the wild, we seek kinship that cannot be communicated with words. Whether as taxidermy for study, pets for companionship, or out in the wild, for Creatures, the Kiernan Gallery seeks photographs that depict our complex relationship with the animal kingdom.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA:
All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE:
January 17, 2013

NOTIFICATION:
Approx. 8 days later

ENTRY FEE:
5 for $25, each add’l $5

JUROR: Anne Berry is a Critical Mass 2012 Top 50 and a 2012 Clarence John Laughlin Award finalist. She is represented by the Catherine Couturier Gallery in Houston, and has recently exhibited at the San Diego Art Institute, the Center for Fine Art Photography, and the Fence at Photoville in Brooklyn.

Publications featuring Anne’s work include Shots Magazine, Photo District News,Silvershotz, The Portfolio Review, Esquire Russia, Lenscratch, CNN Photos, and Black & White.  Anne attended Sweet Briar College (BA) and the University of Georgia (MA). Currently Anne is working on Behind Glass, a collection of images of primates in captivity.

AWARDS: All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice will also be announced and both winners will receive a free copy of the catalogue.

SALES: Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works.  But, they DO still have incentive to sell your work. The Kiernan Gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale.  They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.  (updated on 1/12/12)
