CALL for ENTRIES: Big Bad Wax

Posted on September 24, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

right red
rounds

I’ve been on a cheese kick lately. But, I find myself specifically craving red-waxed cheddar. I know the artificially-colored wax coating isn’t supposed to influence flavor, but I love the texture of the cheddar found just under the surface of the wax. AND, I like dipped cheeses better than brushed cheeses. Something about those bright red rounds reminds me of the comfort of childhood before cholesterol and added pounds influenced my food choices. This next Call wants your wax inspirations. Check it out…

WHEAT…
all the way home

I get a lot of crap about eating gluten free. I don’t preach it to others, so I simply don’t get the fascination. I have FB “friends” that mock me, and even my mother enjoys the occasional jab. What I eat has suddenly become some sort of politicized issue. Don’t we have better things to politicize, people? Spend your creative energy making a political statement with actual impact with this next call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Feast

FOR YOU

Why is mint chocolate chip ice cream so often green? We know that the essential oils used to produce the mint flavor certainly doesn’t lend the color. Is it the manufacturer’s way of grabbing the attention of someone already searching for the flavor? Does green food say “mint” to you? Green foods say “grassy” or “produce” to me. There is no denying that food imagery helps determine choice, and this next Call drives home that point precisely. Can’t wait to see your entries…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Feast. 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…

I have such a soft spot for this gallery, and considering the theme, I really want to see one of MY BELOVED FOODIE ARTISTS take Best of Show…and all the other spots as well. Make me proud…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Feast

Feast your eyes & dig in. The taste of food photography.

From farm to table; the harvesting, preparing and plating of culinary masterpieces. Food, we eat it to survive. Yet if grown and prepared with intention, these are the dishes we savor.

Cooking can be a lot like taking a great photograph. Both lend themselves to fearless experimentation, adaptation and, ultimately, the creation of something awe-inspiring.

Photography capturing this process is something that all walks of life can connect to and be stirred by. The act of breaking bread with one another is deeply ingrained in our many traditions and ancestry.

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: October 16, 2013

NOTIFICATION: October 23, 2013

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

JUROR: For the past 20 years Matt Armendariz has been immersed in food in one way or another. As a former graphic designer and art director in the food industry, he has surrounded himself with great food before he began branching out into photography and blogging as a way to expand and share his passion for all things food and drink. High and low, near and far, food and flavor have always been his driving force and the stories that shape how and what we eat have always captivated him.

Matt’s photo clients include La Brea Bakery, Target, Food Network, Cooking Channel, Coca Cola, In N Out, Pom Wonderful, Coastal Living Magazine, Time Magazine, Food + Wine, and various cookbooks.

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: Grayscale

not entirely
FRIED

There are a lot of reasons not to eat fried foods on a regular basis. You’ve heard most of them: blood pressure, heart disease, vitamin deficiency. Blah, blah, blah. You already know all of the logical reasons. So, let me proffer that fried food is the culinary equivalent of institutional gray. Do you really enjoy a plate of brown and beige food that all basically tastes beige? I hate to misappropriate the Skittles slogan, but taste the rainbow people. This next Call is the best reason to appreciate gray, but walk away from the beige, folks…

Check out this Call for Entries for Grayscale from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry fee is very reasonable, and the theme is a classic. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Grayscale

The world is a colorful place. Despite this, photographers often choose to excise color from the world they capture. Artists working in black and white eliminate the complexities of color to accentuate form, composition, and lighting. The world desaturated is in some ways made more vivid. For Grayscale, The Kiernan gallery seeks photographs of any subject matter that use and celebrate the vibrancy of monochrome.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography: Alternative processes, digital, traditional, and toned images are all eligible.

DEADLINE:
September 19, 2013

NOTIFICATION:
Approx. 8 days later

ENTRY FEE:
5 for $25, each add’l $5

He is a fine art photographer, educator, and graphic designer currently serving on the Board of Directors for Newspace Center for Photography in Portland, Oregon. Mitchell also teaches classes at the Oregon College of Arts and Craft’s studio school.

AWARDS: All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice will also be announced and both winners will receive a free copy of the catalogue.

SALES: Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works. But, they DO still have incentive to sell your work. The Kiernan Gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.

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…

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.

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.

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…

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.

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

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…

TO OLIVE
or not to olive

Olive oil flows freely in my kitchen. I use it in everything from the obvious, sauteed mushrooms and onions, to baking and sweet treats like peanut butter cookies and brownies. Olive oil when combined with onions, celery and carrots become the foundation for almost every savory dish that exits my kitchen. It is the basis upon which everything else is built. Many feel that paint occupies that same space in the arts. This next Call wants your view on the media…
