CALL for ENTRIES: 2019-20 Solo Exhibits

COCO-nutty

Most of my secret foods are trashy, throw-away garbage foods, but occasionally a decent one sneaks into the mix. I’m not going to lay claim to avocados because they are, when applied to toast, apparently the damnation of an entire generation. It does seem, however, that coconut milk makes into into all my favorite dishes from tom kha gai, Thai coconut soup with chicken, which is in the slower cooker for tonight, to two-ingredient, decadent dark chocolate pudding, mango sticky rice or peanut chicken Buddha bowls.  I use it in everything.  Its presence in my pantry represents opportunity.  

One month from today, I’ll be spending my first full day in residence in Cromarty, Scotland, giving me the time and space to pursue a work direction that I might never otherwise get an opportunity to try.  (I will do my best to post at night when my work days are complete.)  And, by the time I return, my husband will have completed  some portion of the renovation work on my new 10’x20′ storage shed studio.  Again, opportunity.  I am shoving aside the pressure to produce and the expectation of a certain look of success, and I am concentrating solely on appreciating the opportunity.  The rest, I will figure out as I encounter it.

This next Call also represents opportunity on a larger scale.  This is a tiny application fee for a Call from a publicly-funded, non-profit venue for multiple gallery spaces in a range of sizes (diagram provided in Call). They only ask for 5 to 10 images to consider, and the commission rate for sales is very reasonable.  This is an active venue for arts-programming, so you’re assured a certain level of visibility.  The catch?  You have to deliver and install the work in Durham, NC.  So, for many of you, this would be considered a regional call.  I think it is worth the drive, so don’t dismiss the idea until you’ve fully read the Call.  

Check out this Call for Entries from Durham Arts Council (Durham, NC) for Annual Call for Artists 2019-2020.  $15 entry fee & 30% commission. This is a great venue…

you’re the ZEST!

The hourglass on citron is running low.  Citron (aka Buddha’s hand) is that freaky-looking fingered citrus fruit that is commonly found in fruitcake and other holiday baked confections.  It is lovely candied and turns a gorgeous shade of lemon yellow.  Not panicked about the days slipping away?  You’d better be certain, because it is only available a few months of the year, and January is the last of them in most places.  So what happens if I need it in June?  I wait; that’s what.  If you miss this next call, YOU will also have to wait.

That’s the problem with waiting until you’re ready.  Artists are often, by nature, too busy or too focused or too single-minded to be looking forward by months, much less years.  So, we are cast as procrastinators even if the part doesn’t quite fit.  I am you; we are all you.  It is easy to say “next time” when you feel unprepared, or worse yet, suffering from a reliable case of impostor syndrome.  But we’re never ready enough or prepared enough or qualified enough.  

This next Call is for solo exhibit opportunities in 2020 at a public art center in Boulder, Colorado, a popular arts location.  Why this call?  First, they only ask for 4 to 7 images, not 20.  You’ve got 4 images, right?  Next, they offer a map of their galleries.   Why is this important? Because their galleries are numerous and of varying size, including some lobby and corridor spaces that are manageable, regardless of how prepared you feel right now.  You can’t wait until you re ready because then you’ll have to wait 2 years.  And, what if you don’t get in the first time?  You’ll feel more prepared and less nervous the second time, not “next time”.  I get that not every opportunity is right for every artist, but if you’re going to NOT enter, be certain you’re CHOOSING not to enter, not letting the fear or insecurity choose for you.

Check out this Call for Entries from Dairy Arts Center (Boulder, CO) for 2020 Exhibition Opportunities. $35 submission fee with as few as 4 images.  Is this your next step? This is a great venue…

CALL for ENTRIES: Saturated

Learn more about the Saturated An Eye for Color exhibit from the Barrett Art Center! oh, KALE no!

Somebody help me love kale.  I want to love love kale (in some other manner than deep fried kale chips, ha)., but I just don’t.  If I’m gonna eat a leafy green, I’m gonna choose spinach every time.  Give me arugula or chard.  Meanwhile, organic kale was 99¢ a pound this week.  It is a gorgeous color though.  I’ve been toying with making my own watercolors.  Maybe THAT is how I learn to love kale.

For years I worked in black and white, and I loved the big, bold graphic nature of that work.  But, color.  Color has turned my work around.  I fell so in love with color that I changed media after TWENTY years.  Like any grade schooler, I get that yellow + blue = green.  But, when you find the right gambogue hue & add just a touch of thalo blue, you get to watch them bloom into a gorgeous shade of peacock.  This newly found watercolor magic gives power & voice to what I tried to represent literally with typography and b&w symbolism for all those years.

I’ve tried to be more transparent over the past weeks about my own “which” & “why” & “what” questions because I am hoping my answers will help you formulate your own questions and discover your own answers.  The Barrett Arts Center is a “yes” for me.  Beautiful venue, great jurors, superb curatorial history, excellent resume builder.  I have been working on a piece for months that would be the perfect piece to enter.  If I can just keep myself on track to finish, I am entering this one.  Do you have color you want to strut out like a proud peacock?  Then THIS is a great call.

Check out this Call for Entries from Barrett Art Center (Poughkeepsie, NY) for Saturated: An Eye for Color.   $45 entry fee & 30% commission. Plus, this juror has a well-documented history.  Take a look…

celebratory EDIBLES

Do you make food resolutions?  No, I don’t mean diets.  Do you make promises to eat healthier or cleaner?  Or maybe to cut some food that makes you itchy, grouchy or gas-y?  Yeah, me neither.  Not anymore.  My eating habits go with the flow.  I eat a lot of whole, fresh foods, punctuated by occasional, terribly-crappy junk food, and it seems to work for me, ha.  This year, I am resolved to drink more bubbly.  I love Prosecco.  I like the sense of celebration, and I want to spend more time celebrating the little stuff.  What is your go-to drinkable or edible celebratory treat?  Chocolate? Guac?  Join me for my year of Yay!  We deserve it.

My last major change was the abandoning of all dairy except whole milk options, and a complete, mid-career left turn in mediaYikes.  Until my change of media a couple of years ago, I was working, almost exclusively, as a xerographist.  There is no Xerography Association, locally, nationally or internationally, to my knowledge.  So, I never had the ability to take advantage of media-specific membership.  Now that I am a watercolorist, I have more options.  However, because I embroider over my paintings, my work is typically considered mixed media by painters and painting by fiber artists.  I’m not sure if I’ll ever find a watercolor or fiber art society to call home.  Do you have a media association that you love?  

One of the benefits of association shows is the prestige.  Because they are almost always juried by working master artists, the recognition of your work is meant to be a stamp of approval on your dedication to developing your skills, plus, they often have large cash prizes.  There are frequently multiple show opportunities throughout the year as well as educational & critique options that can’t be found anywhere else.  THOSE are all great arguments for the next Call, but I’m not an oil painter.  If you are, this is a great show.

Check out this Call for Entries for the 28th Annual Nat’l Exhibition from Oil Painters of America to be exhibited at the Illume Gallery of Fine Art (Saint George, UT).  $100,000 in awards including $25K Best of Show.  Don’t wait…

real SMOOTH

I have pureed everything today.  I made black bean soufflé early in the day to go with the slaw-topped taco my husband made later.  I cooked & pureed extra beans to put up in the freezer as a soup base for next week.  Lunch was delivery pizza.  Our mid-afternoon snack was  a mango-peach-guava-banana smoothie.  While my husband made apple-pepper slaw for our tacos, I processed a half-bushel of apples for applesauce.  I have washed my food processor four times today. (Just a reminder, no dishwasher in my house.) I am trying to keep busy

I mean, I did finish framing a commission while I am waiting for THREE past-due notifications. I need mindless busy. How do venues take our money and not notify on time? Why not just under-promise? Why not five themselves and extra week then surprise us all with an early notification? Of course, my imagination and insecurities ramp up to a 14 & I begin to assume that I haven’t gotten an email because I have been rejected, or,  that I was so bad that I didn’t warrant a response. When left with too much time to dwell on it, I start to become paranoid like an 1990s sitcom and wonder if my phone is working or if email is out-of-order. Ridiculous. So, soufflé, soup, smoothie & applesauce.  Noisy. Delicious. Busy. 

This next Call is screaming my name.  I’ve not been interested in a lot of galleries lately because I am looking to build a very specific profile for my resume.  I am trying to patiently wait for the academic & publicly funded shows I really want.  But I am digging this space.  There are a number of great art hot spots in New Mexico, like Satan Fe.  In fact, New Mexico is on my new short list of relocation possibilities.  This gallery supports a reassuringly diverse art aesthetic and range of media.  I like the unapologetic nature of this Call too.  I’m hoping to get my crap together & enter.  Let me know how it sounds to YOU.

Check out this Call for Entries from Keep Contemporary (Santa Fe, NM) for New Contemporary.  This is a great looking venue that also includes “….artists who have a limited voice in an otherwise conservative art market”.   I want to show here; how about you?

chuh-chuh-chuh-CHIA

I’ve often spoken of my emotional eating & closeted love for junk food.  I occasionally comfort myself with the notion of artisinal junk food like lovingly, hand-made beautiful doughnuts.  But, truth be known, I have an ugly Totino’s habit.  I admitted here in writing once about 5 years ago, but as I push spinach salads and chia seed smoothies like a health food pimp, I like to believe that no one holds me accountable for my addiction to frozen pizza.  (You can find the complete ingredient list here, OMG, assuming I can convince you I only eat the cheese variety. *lying*)  I have faith in my better instincts, but I admittedly have worse ones too.

A lot of people have gut instincts about shows.  Some artists are completely turned off by the concept of online shows.  Some artists only want to show where they can hand-deliver work.  I try to evaluate opportunities based on how they fulfill MY current needs.  I don’t need resume fluff right now, so I am submitting to fewer shows and just trying to get the work DONE. I get asked about online galleries all the time, and whether or not they are scams.  The easy answer is “sometimes”.  You & I both need to submit work to shows that WORK for us.  So what are the pros to online shows?  I like them as a great way to test new, experimental work.  they help me see how I stack up against other work in a more objective atmosphere than the bubble of my already engaged fan and peer base.  Online shows can drive traffic to your website and give you organic social media posts.  Online exhibits can force you to create themed work that gets you out of rut or unstuck.  Depending upon the venue, they can help you reach a different audience.  And, there’s the prize money. Is this opportunity right for you?  Only you can know.  I have faith in your better instincts.

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net for Portraits 2018. $25 entry & no shipping.  The theme is open to broader interpretation than you might think, and you know you want the $500 grant.  Take a look…

the SMOOTH move

I finally have a use for all those black, frozen bananas cluttering my freezer –the afternoon smoothie.  I live with two high-metabolism guys, so the 4 o’clock afternoon snack is standard here.  I’m not new to the concept of the smoothie, but I am new to making them regularly.  Frozen cantaloupe, whole milk yogurt and a melange of other goodies like vanilla, berries, chia seeds.  I am frequently still NOT hungry when dinner prep time rolls around.  The best part is that they are super fast & have almost no clean up, giving me less distraction and fewer avoidance excuses.

I need fewer reasons to make excuses.  Do you hibernate from responsibility when overwhelmed? Me too. I am a member of a handful of online artistic communities, and I read all the bickering about what shows are worth entering and which aren’t.  No one seems to see different paths.  Everyone seems to have divided up into teams “realism” vs. “abstraction”, “fine art” vs. “applied arts”.  Where are you?  And why can’t your decision be based on where YOU are or where you want to be?  Right now, I am interested mainly in academic and museum shows because this is a period of growth and change.  What shows feel right to you?  Are you concentrating on publication?  Are you testing new work in online venues?  Are you searching for gallery representation or maybe higher volume commercial sales?  All of those paths are valid.  Don’t get sucked into the guilt of not fulfilling the vision someone else has for what being a successful artist means. (Remind me to talk about Insta-worthy studios sometime.)

Check out this Call for Entries for the 56th Annual Juried Exhibition from the Masur Museum of Art (Monroe, LA). $20 Entry & no commission.  This is a stunning museum show with a storied history. The juror has excellent curatorial vision.   I think this is a great opportunity, but is it the right fit for you?  Have a smoothie and get back to me. 🙂

CHANGES for the NEW YEAR!

2019 Changes for artandartdeadlines.com!

CHEERS to change

I seem to always anticipate being done with the year, exhausted & ready for the idea of a fresh start do-over.  This year I feel a subtle, but significant change.  I am excited for the new year.  2018 has been hard and uncomfortable and has brought anxiety and fear and embarrassment AND GROWTH.  My work has grown by leaps and bounds.  Where are you?  I fell into a rut and found my work technically more proficient, but I was creating without joy.

I languished.  I talked with my friends & peers.  Everyone had a story, but no one had a solution.  I finally realized that it was fear that was holding me back.  There is safety in the clear, known action.  After 20 years, I changed media.  I’ve coached a lot of artists on how to do it.  Easy, right?  Yeah, not.  It feels like artistic, metaphorical puberty. Painful.  The difference is that I now know there is something on the other side puberty. And, I can’t wait.

So, cheers to the new year.  Raise a glass of whatever you crave, my current obsession is Prosecco, and let’s celebrate possibility.  I’m scared but willing to gamble.  How about you?  That isn’t a rhetorical question.  AAAD is about to change…

Have you noticed the lack of posts?  I am busy.  You are too. And, I’m not trying to sell the cult of busy.  I am creating and screwing up and scheduling and dreaming.  There hasn’t been use value in my posts FOR ME, so I have been avoiding them doing them at all, despite knowing that they ARE useful to some of you.  Self-absorbed, but honest.  How do we resolve this problem?  My solution is to make these posts a part of my practice and process.  Change is necessary but still scary.

So… food segues remain, calls remain, subscriptions remain free.  Content will be less formal, more personal.  Visuals will be simpler, colors softer.   Some sharing of my own work (oh, the scandal) and some of yours too. ♥ I want to weigh the pros & cons of calls and opportunities for me, personally, in the hopes that my painful transparency makes you think about some portion of your own journey differently.  We can’t all be on the same journey, but we all have the same issues with different food and geography and destination.

I don’t know exactly how all of this is going to look; be prepared for some trial and error.  Tell me what works and what doesn’t.  Tell me your stories and how your experience applies.  Want to help?  Follow us on Facebook, Twitter & Insta, wherever you are.  Give us a thumbs up, like or re-post.  Interact.  We don’t need the social media boost, just YOU.

I want community.

boxy BITES

Making pasta used to be a joy.  I enjoyed hand-cutting linguine and stuffing beautiful little half-moon ravioli. But, my husband’s Celiac’s diagnosis put a crimp in my ravioli revelry.  Luckily GF flour has come a long way.  I am making pie crusts and little stuffed ravioli to my hearts content again.  I have dispensed with the round & half-moon shapes, along with my biscuit cutter, but I find the square has its own appeal.  This next Call appreciates the square form as well.  Take a look…
