PLUM
crazy

Nectarines, peaches & plums are back in season, and I am so excited. The peaches and nectarines aren’t quite ripe, but I like fruit a little under-ripe. Weird, I know. But the plums are divine and perfect and beautiful all by them selves. I don’t have plums AND anything. Just plums. Art exhibits, like plums, are fantastic all on their own. This next Call gives you the opportunity to show all on your own. Take a look…

PEANUT BUTTER

My culinary super power is making meals out of whatever I happen to find in the cabinets and making it seem purposeful. Sure, I can make a beautiful breakfast muffin from peanut butter and flax seeds. And yes, I can make cookies out of peanut butter, honey and a single egg. Okay, maybe I can just make anything out of peanut butter–the perfect ingredient. But, not everything comes with the perfect ingredients. While most folks won’t think the kit from this Call is perfect to create a masterpiece, you’ll have all the ingredients; just make it work. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Urban Aspect

Posted on June 8, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

EAT
everything

Most people, in my experience, believe that big cities, like D.C., offer the best in restaurant diversity. And, while this is perhaps true, I find the best quality food experiences are in cities just outside these areas. Take Alexandria, VA, for example. Located just outside D.C., you’ll find everything from farm to table fresh offerings to gourmet comfort foods. All the aspects of urban offerings in a slightly smaller setting. This next Call offers an urban aspect, AND it hails from Alexandria too. Take a look…

Urban Aspect

“Urban Aspect” will feature works of art that explore the myriad of themes and vistas found in urban life in all corners of the world.

MEDIA: Painting

DEADLINE: August 22, 2014

FOOD ISN’T BLUE

I have an aversion to blue foods. Blueberries & blue potatoes are really both fairly purple. Every other blue food I can think of is artificial and always screams, “bio-hazard” at me like blue drinks, candies and frosting. But have you every noticed if you go to a carnival, 5 out of 6 kids have blue rings around their mouths or blue tongues from shaved ice or cotton candy or gummy worms? Is it an age thing? I don’t know. Just don’t try to feed me your entry for this next show and we’ll be all good. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Blue. Low entry ($24) plus a great juror. If you gotta be blue, do it this way…

*Editor’s Note: It is important to let the Darkroom know you found their Call on artandartdeadlines.com. They are friends of AAAD, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES: Blue

Blue is a favorite color of all people, yet it has more complex and contradictory meanings than any other hue.

Throughout the ages, as the natural world’s color for water and sky, blue lends itself to spiritual and heavenly leanings. In these modern days, blue is embraced as the color of heaven and authority, denim jeans and corporate logos. Most blues convey a sense of trust, loyalty, cleanliness, and understanding. On the other hand, blue evolved as symbol of depression in American culture. “Singing the blues” and feeling blue” are good examples of the complexity of color symbolism and how the color has been evolved in different cultures.

For this show Darkroom Gallery is looking for all types of blue images & meanings. All the variances of the color: electric, royal, baby, periwinkle, azure, midnight, navy, dark and light. We are intrigued by naturally occurring blues and man-made blues alike. Whole images consisting of the color, or the choice sections of a photograph that astutely display the power of blue. — from darkroomgallery.com

Pimento cheese is known as the caviar of the South. It is fundamentally made with American cheese which isn’t actually cheese. So can you make authentic pimento cheese with a faux ingredient?

CALL for ENTRIES:
Faux Real

Though the idea of the ‘real’ has a multitude of meanings, it has been endlessly interpreted by artists and holds particular significance in our ever-changing world.

Artists approach reality and its relationship to representation through numerous types of media and with many distinctive standpoints. The term ‘reality’ has been consistently redefined and broadened to include new realms, like the virtual, the personal, the unscripted, the digital, the hallucinogenic.

Non-Fiction Gallery is looking for works that explore the many facets of the concept of reality.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: July 11, 2014

CALL for ENTRIES: NightVisions V

MIDNIGHT
snack

I’m a night eater. 15 years or so ago, I began having a late-night snack before bedtime–a habit acquired while pregnant. I’ve never been able to shake the late night cookies and chips and cereal. My husband’s theory is that I have to fuel my nocturnal duties that revolve around problem-solving in my sleep. I’ve quit trying to fight it. Now I’m just trying to improve my choices. Cookies and cereal have been slowly replaced by cheese and nuts or citrus fruit. I’m embracing the dark side, and this next exhibit does too. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Night Visions V

More than two-thirds of Americans live where they can no longer see the Milky Way galaxy because of light pollution. We have grown so isolated from night that in much of our culture it has become alien and fearful. NightVisions V seeks to re-open our positive connections to the natural night and to bridge the divide separating artistic from scientific perception, promoting the idea that science and art are two intertwined aspects of human experience.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to any media

DEADLINE: July 1, 2014

NOTIFICATION: July 25, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 3

JURORS: Chicago binder, book & installation artist Karen Hanmer creates intimate, playful works that fragment & layer text and image to intertwine memory, cultural history, and the history of science. Her work weds the ancient act of book binding with the high tech use of the computer to aid her process. The intimate scale and the gestures of exploration required to travel through each piece evoke the experience of looking through an album, a diary, or the belongings of a loved one. However, her works often take the forms of games or puzzles, and many include witty text.

Hanmer exhibits widely, and her work is included in collections ranging from Tate Britain and the Library of Congress to UCLA and Graceland.

AWARDS: Best of show $1000, 2nd Place $500 & 3rd Place $250.
