CALL for ENTRIES: Working It Out

Posted on February 12, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

CHOCOLATE
surprise

I am addicted to chocolate. And, I mistakenly assume that if it is chocolate, I will love it. Wrong. You can screw up chocolate. Milk chocolate is not my favorite version, but done well, there is a time and place for milk chocolate. But every once in a while, I am offered chocolate and it is grainy, infused with artificial flavors or so sweet that it makes my teeth hurt. It is always a reminder to mind what I put in my mouth–a warning that I assume is unnecessary for most people. This next Call could easily be assumed to be a painting call, but it isn’t. This is a great surprise…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Painting Center (NY, NY) for Working It Out, an exhibition of artists’ working drawings–generally kept private. The entry fee is standard, but this opportunity is extraordinary. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Working It Out

The Painting Center, a gallery in the heart of Chelsea, announces a call for entries for its upcoming juried exhibition entitled WORKING IT OUT, running from June 18th to July 13th, 2013.

Artists of all disciplines begin their creative process with preparatory drawings. This enables visual problem solving throughout the execution of an artwork that is both fluid and beautiful. Drawing can be an exploration of materials, mark making, the emotional tenor of a piece, compositional arrangements or color. Working drawings are the visual manifestation of a work in progress; a working idea. Typically, this work is not seen by the public.

These are private musings that reflect thought processes. They are, by definition, incomplete. This exhibition will allow the viewer to see the private world of the artist’s creative process.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Artists working in all media are encouraged to submit their working drawings.

DEADLINE: April 15, 2013

NOTIFICATION: April 25, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 5

CONFESSIONS
of an empty-headed
food trough wiper

The holy grail of culinary education is the Cordon Blue, and more recently, the Culinary Institutes of America. I attended Johnson & Wales for a year and continue to be grateful for all that I learned. I put me on the path to being the food-lover that I am. And honestly, without the foodie side of me, I’m not sure this blog would have made it. It gave me a brand, a platform if you will, to set AAAD apart from all the art deadlines out there. Many feel that museum exhibits are the holy grail of art shows, and this next Call could be your holy grail. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Griffin Museum of Photography (Winchester, MA) for the 19th Annual Juried Exhibition. You have to be a member (at least $25 fee), but then the entry fee is only $15 and commission is only 20%. Investigate for yourself…

CALL for ENTRIES: Off the Street

Posted on February 9, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

MUM’S
the word

Yellow mustard is a staple of the Southern refrigerator, but it doesn’t appear in mine. I love mustard, but the older I get the more I appreciate pungent flavors. And well, yellow mustard doesn’t, well, cut the mustard anymore. That’s right, folks, I’m a rebel. You’ll only find Dijon mustard in my house. Don’t tell anyone; they’ll force me to the other side of the Mason-Dixon line if you do. This next Call involves it’s own sort of rebellion. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries for Off the Street from ARTs East New York (Brooklyn, NY). There is no entry fee, and the media is NOT limited to installation art, despite the name.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Off the Street

Public.

Rebellious.

Anonymous.

Elusive.

These qualities come with the territory of Street Art. However, a growing trend to display such artwork in gallery spaces necessarily obfuscates these seemingly essential features of the art form.

The upcoming exhibit at ARTs East New York explores a complicated question: What is left of Street Art once it’s taken off the street? Off the Street will feature works that are more than just gallery-ready replications of artwork on the street, but are instead explorations extending the space of the “street” from the physical to the conceptual.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA:
All media

DEADLINE:
March 1, 2013

NOTIFICATION:
mid March

ENTRY FEE: None

SALES: ARTs East New York will charge a 10% commission fee.

PASTA
anyone?

I LOVE IT

I really need to give fennel one last chance. Like asparagus and beets before it, I had a really bad first experience with fennel, and I haven’t been able to get myself to try it again. When I tried asparagus and beets again, I LOVED them both. So, if you have great recipes for fennel, send them my way. This next Call is giving YOU one last chance to enter.

My freshman year of college, I gained the freshman fifteen TWICE. I ate a lot of Ramen noodles, peanut butter, oatmeal and drank many, many wine coolers. I hear your snickering. Not exactly the diet of champions, but my priorities were very different back then–I think. I don’t clearly remember all of it, but I do remember that my freshman year was one of the last times I had to really utilize the F-Stop to take photographs on actual film. This next Call has the F-Stop as its namesake. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Graceful Envelopes

TWO anchovies

One of my most prized possessions is a stolen recipe for Caesar Dressing. A restaurant in Savannah, GA served Caesar salad that was created table side. My mother and I drove 100 miles just to have lunch. After telling many servers over the years of our 100-mile trek, I convinced one to give me the illicit recipe–strictly against their non-disclosure statement. It is fantastic. I keep the recipe, hand-written by the server, in a special place, home only to my inherited family recipes. I could re-type it, but that would be a dishonor to the server that so kindly risked his job for my obsessive palate. This next Call is all about the handwriting. Take a look…

I just found out my stove won’t go below 225°. I was preparing to roast chickpeas instead of drying them in my dehydrator. But, I usually slow roast them at 200°. Hmph. Those 25 degrees make a difference. You know what I mean. Haven’t you ever split the difference when you had to bake two things at two different temperatures at the same time? Something usually suffers. I’ve eaten many a soggy crust pizza because of this dilemma. Well this next Call comes from a gallery whose very name involves a melting point reference. Intrigued?

Check out this Call for Entries from Eutectic Gallery (Portland, OR) for ceramic work. The fee is fairly standard, but they take both single artists AND pairs. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Eutectic

Eu・tec・tic – [yoo-tek-tik] adj.: The proportion of constituents in a mixture that yields the lowest possible complete melting point; often lower than the constituents on their own.

I’m not a huge fan of buffet restaurants. I understand why people hosting large parties prefer buffets, but I choose NOT to go to buffet restaurants because I prefer not to be surrounded by people. And, not all food should be held at the same temp. I don’t like being part of the herd. Luckily, this next Call is about art and not food because it is a bit like a buffet style show. As I mentioned, sometimes it just works. Investigate…

I have a long-standing addiction to pasta. More accurately, I am addicted to that slightly drowsy, completely relaxed feeling I have when I finish a beautiful Italian meal. My friends have been trying to get me to read Wheat Belly, but I’ve resisted for fear that I would end up having to give up my favorite pasta, whole wheat couscous. I cannot bear the thought. So, this next Call comes from San Francisco which has nothing to do with couscous, but the last time I made a Rice-A-Roni segue, I got email for weeks. So, my stream of consciousness led me to couscous. I know, random. Regardless, don’t miss this next Call…
