CALL for ENTRIES: Art on Paper

nuts for NUTS

I make a lot of granola these days. I tripped across this mostly Paleo recipe & altered it to taste. (We don’t eat Paleo, specifically, but I am often drawn to the recipes.) This version is absent the oats found in most granola, so it lacks the chalky, starchy lethargic quality of the stereotypical bagged cereal. My version is mostly nuts & seeds with a bit of dried fruit, coconut oil & a dash of honey. There seems to always be a batch in the oven, and I’m going through roll after roll of parchment paper. It is brain food; try it. This next Call is looking for works on paper. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Site: Brooklyn (Brooklyn, NY) for Art on Paper. $35 entry fee & 50% commission. This could be a good opportunity for some contemporary artists. Is this one right for you?

flushed FRUIT

Red is my favorite color. On an unrelated note, I’ve never eaten a red food I didn’t love. Hmmm. I find it hard to resist even the red-adjacent –raspberries, rambutan & now lychee. Lychee is like the perfect cross of soft floral rose & tart white grapes. Yum. The next Call wants to see your “red” inspiration. What’s not to love about red?

ELIGIBILITY: All artists age 18+ (int’l)

MEDIA: Open to still media, including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, digital art, printmaking, fiber art, collage, etc.

THEME: Red “Colors often symbolize a variety of emotions, an artist’s truth, perhaps wild fantasies—from war, power, heat, love, sexuality, anger, and joy to ‘soft’ idealisms—these are but a few examples. Red, in particular here, can be used to draw the viewer closer emotionally in a way which enhances their reaction to the art. It may define intuitively an intended focal point that carries the viewer more deeply into the artist’s message.” –art-competition.net

CALL for ENTRIES: Animal Life 2018

Posted on October 23, 2018October 18, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

bear-ly HUNGRY

I live in black bear country, and hyperphagia is coming to an end soon. Hyperphagia is the time of year when the bears gorge themselves in preparation for their winter “hibernation”, although black bears don’t really hibernate, per see. (I digress.) This means a few months on not being paranoid about leaving sunflower seeds in my car or a stray pizza box in the outdoor trash can. Some people have raccoons, I have bears, ha. This next Call is all about animal life. Whatcha got?

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net for Animal Life 2018. $20 entry, no shipping & open to all still media. Thematically open to interpretation. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Create! Winter 2019

COLD complication

As winter approaches, I am more & more distracted. I buy a handful of pantry items for single recipes. For example, I use canned cream-style corn in one indulgent corn pudding recipe and buttermilk only in cornbread. But, the problem arises because they look like similar items in the cupboard –anything canned or my regular milk. You only have to put buttermilk on one bowl of cereal to not want to make that mistake again. My solution? Organization. A simple letter or two scrawled on the container top has stopped me from wasting time and food over and over again. This next Call wants to see your work for their Winter Edition. Be organized; enter early…

Check out this Call for Entries from Create! Magazine (print publication) for the Winter 2019. $30 entry for this gorgeous magazine. Don’t miss this chance…
