CALL for ENTRIES: RE: Tale

Posted on March 13, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

how to get rid of
CRABS

Seafood usually conjures the image of a beach-front town for most, but I always think of Savannah, Georgia. I’m not crazy about sand, so I’d spend my lunchtime at the River House over a bowl of lobster & crab bisque over a sandy crab boil at the beach any day. Going to the opening of this next Call would be the perfect excuse to put away some seafood. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Non-Fiction Gallery (Savannah, GA) for RE: Tale. Only $20 to enter, great juror & gallery, AND the theme leaves lots of room for interpretation…

CALL for ENTRIES:
RE: Tale

Everybody has a story to tell. We are constantly creating tales in our heads. They might be our own doing, they might be partially vicarious or perhaps completely borrowed. These accounts often get restructured and retold, evolving each time. This is not unlike contemporary art, which by nature constantly strives for reinterpretation.

Fitting the concept of something that is partially untrue in a gallery called “Non-Fiction” seems to be ill-fitting. However, borrowing from the gallery’s vision statement, everybody’s tales, whether personal or fictitious, “inspire life-changing dialogue.” After all, Aesop never needed a true story to communicate his vision.

In today’s contemporary art scene, artists have deconstructed the idea of a story to fit their medium and surface preferences. This juried exhibition strives to showcase the breadth of interpretations of the concept of “visual storytelling.”

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: March 28, 2014

NOTIFICATION: March 31, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $20 for up to 3, $5 ea. add’l

JUROR: The show will be juried by a combination of Non-Fiction delegates and guest juror MAC, originator of the RE: Tale concept & show. Originally from Venezuela, MAC is a sequential illustrator interested in the contemporary development of storytelling. After pursuing degrees in Illustration Design & Sequential arts, he endeavored in museum studies & gallery management, sparking a fascination in the way artist adapt their skills & disciplines in order to communicate a story.

SALES: Gallery sales commission is 30% of the retail price named by the artist.

CALL for ENTRIES: Hue

Posted on March 11, 2014March 11, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

anything but the
WHITE TABLE

I am addicted to salt. I am. I’ve given up most vices, but salt is here to stay. I have unnaturally low blood pressure (70/50), and my doctor suspects that is WHY I crave salt. So what does one do when faced with a salt addiction? Become a salt aficionado, of course. There is a rainbow-hued world of salt options out there. My current favorite is Hawaiian alaea salt which derives its pinkish or brownish hue from it’s volcanic clay rich in iron oxide. This next Call is all about the hue as well. Hue CAN tell the difference, hehehe…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Hue. 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: Please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. I have a soft spot for this gallery, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Hue

Color in photography has symbolism and meaning that travels beyond what you see.

More than the combination of red, green, and blue or cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, color is a visual tool for non-verbal communication: a viewer’s perception and connection to an image can be significantly enhanced by a certain hue.

Strip away the subject matter from a photograph, and what is left behind? Two things. The underlying geometry of the photo, its composition or balance, and the color. The design and geometry make an image coalesce, become solid, and enduring. Whereas the color carries the opposite message, one of transience and impermanence. That’s because colors are not inherent in objects, but change and evolve with the changing light – and we photographers know, light is always changing.

Hues must contrast or complement one another to create a successful image, a delicate dance of visual balance. For this exhibit we are looking for works that exemplify the innate power of color. Images that drive us through hue to an emotive response.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: April 16, 2014

NOTIFICATION: April 23, 2014

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 for $24 US for on-line & $29 by email

CALL for ENTRIES: Paper Cuts

Posted on March 9, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

I’M HUNGRY
pass the paper

Would you eat something with no nutritional value just for the sake of eating if you could? I LOVE to eat, but I’m not sure how much I would love it if I didn’t think even the most indulgent of desserts was secretly fueling my ability to live. For example, would you eat a snack if it tasted great but happen to be made of paper? Not rice paper, not seaweed paper–PAPER paper. Check out Slim Chips–interesting experiment. This next Call strikes me as a much better use of paper. Take a look…

SNOW

Coconut snow creme anyone? I’m trying to come up with a logical way to combat my winter frustration. Because I live near a little-traveled corner of the National Park, I STILL have access to untrodden-snow in area that is as free from harsh chemicals and pesticides as one can approximate in 2014. So, I will use coconut milk instead of heavy cream and dream of a sitting on a Florida beach while writing during the latest bout of snow showers. This next Call wants to bring you to their sunny Florida local for the opening of Camera USA. I can’t wait…

don’t make me
bring the
MIXER

I am no longer fascinated by deconstructed food. I’ll admit that for a while there, it seemed like an art to be served a deconstructed Caesar salad, but I’m over it. If I wanted deconstructed food, couldn’t I just partially create dishes at home and save myself both the extra preparation of making the completed meal and save the trip to the restaurant? I am just uncertain that abstraction has a place in my diet. So, let’s keep abstraction on the wall like in this next Call, okay? Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
In the Abstract

Abstract photography explores color, movement, form, and other intangibles that are not dependent on a recognizable subject. The medium of photography has a unique ability to reproduce with precision and clarity, the world as we see it. Abstract photography deconstructs our world, resulting in new and surprising interpretations. Graphic elements without context, long exposures, blurred subjects, and extreme close-ups are a few of the ways that photographers manipulate their subjects in an abstract manner. These works are limited only by imagination.

Sherry is a magical ingredient. I’m not a fan of the aperitif, but you’ll always find sherry in my cupboard. All of it smells like fingernail polish remover to me, so I’ve just give in and started buying the salt-fortified cooking version. Why is it magical, you ask? Sherry is what makes french onion soup taste like french onion soup. Trust me on this one. It smells horrible when I de-glaze the pan while caramelizing onions, but the flavor afterward is, well, magical. This next Call is meant to magical as well. Great theme…

picking a peck of
PEPPER
grinders

I have lost track of the number of pepper mills I have owned. The best one I ever owned featured one-handed operation. It eventually broke after being dropped one too many times, and I could never find the same one again. The dilemma is that they either grind the pepper too fine or too coarse, and the adjusters never turn quite far enough. Ground too finely, pepper will dominate the flavor of any meal. Ground too coarsely, peppercorns will give your guests a crunchy, spicy surprise in the middle of an otherwise well-balanced meal. It is all about the size. So is this next Call. Take a look…

wild FOOD

I live less than a mile from one of the boundaries of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I also live only a mile from downtown; however, my town has a tiny population of around 3500 residents. My location has a profound impact on the food I eat. The availability of exotic foods is relatively limited unless you count game meats which are prevalent even in upscale restaurants. I keep a clean grill because predators are a REAL, not imagined, threat. I don’t hike or cook in the woods alone because black bears do eat people occasionally. Where I live defines what I eat and my relationship with the “wild kingdom.” This next Call wants to know all about YOUR relationship with animals. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Manifest Gallery (Cincinnati, OH) for Kingdom, an international exhibition exploring the animal in art. You can enter for as little at $12. Don’t miss this opportunity…
