CALL for ENTRIES: Social Justice

Posted on December 21, 2013December 21, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

DREAMS
unsquashed

I don’t really have any major meals to cook during the holidays. My mother-in-law traditionally makes homemade sloppy joes for Christmas Eve, and my mother cooks a ham and sweet potato cassarole. Normally I will make a green veggie, but other than that, I’m off the hook. My mother is 72 years old. How long do you think the “I’ll bring the zucchini” line is going to work? Mmmhmm. I see massive meal preparation in my near future too–it’s only fair. But for all the injustices in our creative lives, there is always this next Call…

Check out this Call for Artist Stories: A Social Justice Project. There is no entry fee, and currently, there is no deadline. It is just a way for you to share your stories about being a working artist. Maybe together we can come up with solutions…

A Social Justice Project

“We creative people need to combine our efforts and creative gifts to develop sustainable art careers. By posting our written works and short videos that detail our stories, we can create awareness about what it really means to live a creative life.” — taken from Artist Stories blog site

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Stories are to be written or via video, but artists can be from any medium

DEADLINE: None, at the moment

NOTIFICATION: This project is inclusive, not exclusive

ENTRY FEE: None

here fishy, fishy
FISHY

I live in a town with a population of approximately 3500. We have 1 zip code & area code, 1 post office, and…one grocery store. Luckily, the popularity of my hometown with tourists affords a few luxuries like a recently renovated produce and seafood section in our lone grocery store. I bought salmon there last week, and it came wrapped in paper. Paper. Lovely. Thank you for not adding another piece of plastic wrap to my grocery cart. There is a time and place for paper, and this next Call would be another of them. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Paint

Posted on August 17, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

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…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Hera Gallery (Wakefield, RI) for PAINT. Looking for pieces about paint with paint as the main medium in the work (sounds like an invitation for mixed media to me). Entry fee is only $25 for 2 works. Maybe this one is for you…

CALL for ENTRIES: Boxed In

Posted on July 11, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

HOLD THE MILK
please

Even my dogs have become finicky eaters. They have always been Milk-Bone® kind of dogs. But it seems that lately they have started turning up their nose to their usual treats. I’ve tried peanut butter flavored and beef basted with no results. I already bake a lot of foods from scratch for my family, and I fear dog treats may get added to the list soon. If I am going to make treats, I’d rather make them for the hard working pups involved with this next call instead of my spoiled brats. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Boxed In, an exhibit that serves as a fundraiser for Sam’s Voice which helps fund Autism service dogs for families. I know you get asked to donate all of the time; so, I will break this down simply: no entry fee, cash prizes & donation of work. If your life has been touched by autism, this is ideal for lightweight, lower material cost artwork (photography, drawing, illustration, printmaking, etc). Please consider participating…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mail Memory

Posted on May 22, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

GROCERIES
or art?

Nothing comes between me and the grocery budget. If faced with a choice EVERY other bill will be late, if need be, before I will cut my grocery budget. But every rule has an exception. I would mortgage my dog to buy art. The biggest art collectors I know are artists. They understand the love of a piece of artwork that outweighs the ability to pay–even for groceries. This next Call is a very inexpensive way for you to collect a little piece of work of your own. Don’t miss this chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: 8×8 Photo Party

Posted on April 16, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

3 INGREDIENTS
or less

I like simple foods. As I get older, I cook and eat fewer and fewer complicated recipes and foods. I have come to appreciate the individual flavors of foods. Dinner at my house is frequently a small cut of beef, chicken or fish with two oven roasted veggies on the side. Simple. Fewer and fewer sauces. But, then again, I prefer simplicity in a lot of ways. I rarely even wear prints unless they are simple geometrics. This next call makes a geometric impact for a great end look and mission. Please give this opportunity some serious thought…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Silver Eye Center for Photography (Pittsburgh, PA) for the 8×8 Photo Party.

CALL for ENTRIES: Nature Undisturbed 2013

Posted on December 22, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

YES, I AM
a chicken

Every once in a while, I get the urge to live off the land. Why disturb nature with factories to process food when I grow, raise and prepare my own? It only takes watching a documentary on ice fishing in Alaska or beheading a chicken down South, and I quickly get over the urge. A backyard garden will have do. This next show wants to see how you capture nature…undisturbed. Don’t miss this chance.

Check out this Call for Entries from Serenbe Photography Center (Palmetto, GA) for the 5th showing of Nature, Undisturbed. Here’s a chance to show your work and help out nature conservation at the same time. Bonus…they often sell a significant portion of the work! Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Global Mail Art

Posted on September 18, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CALL ME
a chicken

I am obsessed with food because I love the TASTE of food. I am not into eating foods for the sake of saying that I have eaten them. Century eggs are a perfect example. I cannot think of a reason to eat a 100-year-old egg that has been preserved in clay, ash and lime. Telling me that the yolk has the smell of sulfur and ammonia does not make me any more likely to want to eat it. Someone else already has a job eating Bizarre Foods, so I’ll pass. This next Call is a much better way to celebrate 100 years. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from LULA Lake Worth Arts for the Global Mail Art Exhibition in celebration of Lake Worth Florida’s Centennial Celebration.

CALL for ENTRIES: Prison Library Mail Art

Posted on August 8, 2012August 8, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

FOOD for… thought

The more you know about anything the better off you are about everything. I attended Johnson & Wales culinary school just long enough to learn sauce and knife skills that have been worth every penny I spent. I use those skills everyday of my life. (Although I should have stuck around for pastry classes so I could have made this book cake I found a Sprinkle Bakes!) This next mail art call offers you the opportunity to provide education that not only will provide prisoners a chance to learn which impacts their lives, but their chance to learn impacts YOU too. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Postmarked 2012, California’s largest mail art exhibition that benefits the Prison Library Project. Jump start your creative juices with a mail art project today! Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Prison Library Mail Art, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES: Postmarked 2012

For many years, inmates from around the country wrote to the Prison Library Project, and they were amazed by the artwork that accompanied requests for books. These beautiful illustrations were their inspiration for a mail art exhibition and fundraiser.

Postmarked was developed eight years ago for the Claremont Forum’s Prison Library Project, which sends books free to prisoners in the U.S. upon their request. Providing education and opportunity to learn about mail art, view new and established mail artists’ works, and to participate in the experience of creating and sending mail art. Now in its 8th year, this exhibition is one of the largest in California.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all.

MEDIA: Mail art of any size and medium. ONLY the side with the official USPS Postmark/barcode will be displayed. Your mail art may be painted, stamped, collaged, printed, and/or otherwise decorated or constructed. It may be any shape and size that will go through the mail and receive an official postmark.

Your submission may get worn or torn through the mail, but the handling process is an important part of the theme. Only the side with the postmark can be displayed, due to space limitations, but the art doesn’t have to be limited to that side. You may include any message inside the envelope, which will be opened only by the person who purchases the art envelope. You may submit more than one piece… and begin sending now!

DEADLINE: Entries must be postmarked by September 30, 2012.

ENTRY FEE: None

WHY SUPPORT the PLP? “Rehabilitation was at one time a stated goal of the prison system. Today, funding for most educational and rehabilitation programs, including prison libraries, has been cut or completely eliminated. It is a distressing fact that today’s U.S. prisons are increasingly about punishing people and warehousing human beings, not about, rehabilitation, or education.”

“This is where PLP steps in. We believe that everyone deserves access to literature and educational materials, including people trying to work towards social change, self-empowerment or rehabilitation within the incarceration system.

The U.S. has less than 5 percent of the world’s population, but more than a quarter of the world’s prisoners.

Nearly one percent of American adults are incarcerated, the highest rate in the world, but many prisoners have little access to books or educational material. They face substantial barriers and are cut off from family and friends on the outside. While some prisons have libraries, many do not. Of those that do, access and selection can be extremely limited. Usually, prisoners are not allowed to receive books from friends or family. Thus, programs like ours are one of the few options available to these individuals.” –from the PLP website.
