REMINDER: Represent Deadline

Posted on August 30, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

CHEESY
me

If I had to choose one food to represent me as a person, I would possibly die of indecision. But, since my food ramblings are only the fluff of why readers come to this site, and you don’t have enough time to wait…let’s will say just for argument’s sake that goat cheese would represent me perfectly. Soft but with an edge, getting a little more tart with age, not for everyone, but goes well with almost anything. Goat cheese is me. If goat cheese isn’t you, don’t worry. This next Call offers you a chance for a year-long representation. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from Melissa Wolf Fine Arts (online) for the Represent, and opportunity for a year of representation. This is a very new online venue; however, I had some personal success with their last call. So, at least take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Make Believe

Posted on August 29, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

boneless
CHICKEN
backbone

Luckily, no one has bothered to ever install hidden cameras in my kitchen. The images of my pretending to be Julia Child wouldn’t be great for my credibility. But, it’s what I do when attempting something in the kitchen for which I am untrained or unqualified–like de-boning a whole chicken. I make believe. It makes any resulting failure sting less. This next Call wants to know how YOU make believe…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Make Believe. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Make Believe

Role-play, tell tall-tales, put on your brightest costume and let your imagination take the lead.

Images that captivate, tell a fantastical story. The hero vs. the monster, parallel universes co-mingling, colorful characters that drag us down a rabbit hole! Fantasy, horror, sci-fi, fairy-tale, steam-punk and renaissance inspired photographs.

Just as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein emerged from a dream, her motley creation is considered to be one of the earliest examples of science fiction and a great novel for the ages, Darkroom asks you to produce and capture your dreams. “The whole series of my life appeared to me as a dream; I sometimes doubted if indeed it were all true, for it never presented itself to my mind with the force of reality.”― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Create your legend, weave your web and spin your yarns. Contact your inner child and dive head-first into a treasure trove of costumes. This exhibit will be on display over Halloween, so make it spooky.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: September 18, 2013

NOTIFICATION: September 25, 2013

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 images for $24 US for on-line and $29 for email submission

JUROR: Growing up in a small Louisiana town, Andy Bloxham turned to his imagination for activity. This playful, creative approach to life extended to Andy’s adulthood, where it took form in photography, video, and writing. Receiving an MFA in photography from Louisiana Tech University, his images have appeared throughout the world in numerous group and solo exhibitions, publications, and online media.

Bloxham’s photography centers around fictional situations and events, told through the slight hint of a smirking camera. His techniques apply the command of tools ranging from pen, paper, and storyboards, to strobe lighting and digital post-processing. He is an assistant professor of photography at West Virginia Wesleyan College, and a faculty member at the Maine Media Workshops.

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!

CALL for ENTRIES: Silver Eye 14

Posted on August 28, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

SILVER
and gold

I love the crispy, silvery skin of pan-sauteed salmon filets. I’ve always thought of it as one of the healthy excuses for the consumption of my favorite fatty fishes. Turns out the silvery skin contains concentrated amounts of whatever contaminates existed in the water from which they were caught. Ugh. Apparently all that glitters is not gold–or silver. This next Call is definitely an exception to the all-that-glitters rule. Don’t miss it…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Silver Eye Center for Photography (Pittsburgh, PA) for the Fellowship 14 International Photography Competition. The entry fee is a little lower than last year, and the opportunity is still spectacular. Take a look…

LEMON DROPS

I’ve always been lucky in the kitchen. Most of my experiments work. I often get it right the first time I try. Maybe that is how my love affair with food began–as something successful. Who isn’t attracted to being good at something? I often struggle in the studio, but the struggle produces better work. So am I lucky not to be lucky in the studio? Semantics, I suspect. Maybe this next Call will be lucky for you…

CALL for ENTRIES: Parlor Art

COUCH

cordon blue

We rarely eat in my dining room. We most often eat our cordon bleu and asparagus in front of the dumb tube. In fact, we do almost everything in the livingroom: music, homework, art, reading, and all serious family planning and conversation. It is a very personal parlor of sorts. This next gallery is sure to be a space to inspire conversation just like it namesake. Take a look…

JUROR: As a youth in the 1980s, Jonathan LeVine recognized the appeal of countercultural aesthetics including punk flyers, comics, graffiti and tattoos. Beginning in 1994, LeVine became an independent curator, organizing exhibitions at punk and alternative rock venues in the NY/NJ area such as: CBGB, Webster Hall, Max Fish, and Maxwell’s. By promoting these visual art forms through group shows in venues that were home to their musical counterparts, LeVine gave a home to this nascent art movement, early on.

In February 2001, LeVine opened his own gallery Tin Man Alley in New Hope, Pennsylvania. The gallery relocated to Philadelphia in late 2002. In January 2005, LeVine renamed and moved his gallery to the epicenter of the contemporary art world, Manhattan’s Chelsea district.

LeVine has been instrumental in the promotion and proliferation of lowbrow and street art on the east coast and continues cultivating new and long-standing relationships with featured artists and active collectors through his program at the gallery, participating in art fairs, and presenting special exhibitions in International locations.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Road Not Taken

Posted on August 23, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

THE BOLD
and the delicious

If this blog has an underlying, non-food theme, it would be “be brave”. I use suggestions that you eat uni, or maybe fermented duck eggs, as the way to the point across, but “be brave” is the true theme, nonetheless. This next Call is asking for your take on “The Road not Taken.” Be brave and try…

Check out this Call for Entries from Lander Art Center (Lander, WY) for The Road Not Taken. This is a great theme that is wide open to interpretation. Could this be the opportunity for you?

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Road Not Taken

This year’s juror show theme centers around the well known 1916 poem by Robert Frost entitled The Road Not Taken. Poetry and the visual arts can have the similar ability to evoke thought, reflection, and emotion. This year’s theme, The Road Not Taken can be explored as a whole or focused on a certain phrase or aspect of the poem by the artist.

Who is left behind when one goes down one path and not the other? What do we sacrifice for taking the road less traveled? The poem is to be interpreted by the individual artist.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: September 21, 2013

NOTIFICATION: October 8, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 3 images

MOUSSE
muse

My husband sings in the kitchen. It isn’t one specific tune; it is usually whatever he last heard. I don’t know how he doesn’t find it distracting. I need concentration and quiet to make sure my mousse doesn’t burn. I just do. I don’t often listen to music while I produce art either. Puzzling. This next Call is musically inspired; maybe I should experiment. Take a look…

ARTIST TO LOVE: Amantha Tsaros

Peek-a-Boo, I See You

Say “Hello” to our newest Artist to Love, Amantha Tsaros!

Amantha Tsaros
Monotype & Acrylic Painting

Tarre
Monotype

We carry unseen struggles. TSAROS gives form to the internal life in paint. Bringing emotional and spiritual states to light are more important to me than depicting any physical likeness.

Her current series, Bigger Spirits/Square Souls, features organic forms that dance, float or slowly ebb with life. Through paint and monotype, the shapes and marks in the images recall spirits; forces that carry us through our days or challenge us mightily.

FAVORITE FOOD: Pumpkin Bread

SLATE

While on vacation, I ate slate grilled baby back ribs for the first time. Yum. You have to get past the idea that the slate is porous and might contain other food cooties from previous usage because that is part of what makes cooking with slate fantastic.
