CALL for ENTRIES: H2O

Posted on October 27, 2015October 27, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

looking down the
BOTTLE

I drink everyday–bottles & bottles of water. As my alter ego, I perform 4 to 5 days per week, and on stage, I suck down approximately 24 ounces of water every 45 minutes to keep my voice in check. So, let’s talk about the bottles. I know that disposable bottles are not ideal due to the waste issue, but I am paranoid about being able to be certain that I am really getting disposable bottles truly clean. I have searched for a reusable bottle that has a large enough opening (for proper cleaning) but is both very compact (has to fit on a mic stand) and non-descript (so it doesn’t stick out in every picture). I am open to recommendations. In the meantime, here’s an idea of what to do with YOUR water. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for H2O. $24 entry. We’re proud our readers have been both shown & awarded at Darkroom. You know you have work for this theme…

CALL for ENTRIES: 2016 Nat’l Juried

Posted on October 26, 2015October 26, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

MUSTARD
fiends

Every last member of my family is a mustard fiend. There are rarely ever appearances of plain yellow mustard in my house. Dijon is the mustard of choice for the majority of the family. And while I have a soft spot for homemade, hot Chinese mustard, I rarely indulge (too lazy to make it). Brown mustard gets an occasional at bat around here on a whim, but Dijon is our comfort zone, our fall back, our home base if you will. This next gallery is a little like home base for me. Please don’t miss this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Arts & Culture Alliance for the Nat’l Juried Exhibition of 2016. This is a great arts organization. I have shown work here. I have juried a show here. I teach here. I would love to see your contribution at this opening. Take a look…

FOOD

The biggest perk of this job is food gifts. It seems when you guys trip across a strange-colored fruit, have extra figs from your yard or find a mustard to die for, I am on the top of your list. Those gifts are loved & wanted; I promise. This next Call, however, is all about the gifts you don’t want. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Non-Fiction Gallery (Savannah, GA) & ArtRise Savannah for The Gift You Never Wanted exhibit. $25 entry, 40% commission & a theme not to be missed. I have SO MUCH work that fits this theme. How about you?

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Gift
You Never
Wanted

We are often given gifts that are unsightly, unseemly, or straight out of a nightmare. Often these “gifts” stay with us, sometimes for the better. The gifts we never wanted take many forms, both physically and emotionally. In the end we have to ask—are gifts given for the sender or the receiver?

For the exhibition The Gift You Never Wanted, Non-Fiction Gallery seeks works of art that explore the idea of the gift as a burden or a blessing.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: November 7, 2015

NOTIFICATION: November 16, 2015

ENTRY FEE: $25 for up to 4 ($20 for all ArtRise members), $30 for up to 6 ($25 for all ArtRise members)

SALES: Non-Fiction Gallery will handle sales. 40% commission will be retained by gallery.

CALL for ENTRIES: Oddity

Posted on September 27, 2015September 29, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

SUGAR bear

Food oddities abound –from century eggs to snake wine. But I find the biggest food oddity is the waste of food in massive, organized food fights. How do you use tons of food to make a mess when it could be feeding someone? I don’t understand. I suppose that some make an argument that food art is also a waste; however, I think the difference in scale might be the defining factor. I have to admit to loving Kevin Champeny‘s gummy bear chandeliers. This next Call is looking for oddities, but they don’t have to be food related. Take a look…

Oddity

“Strange, eerie and illusive; photographs that lend themselves to an implied narrative or otherworldly oddity.

The dark decent into junk food debauchery starts with the potato chip. With the chip comes the dip. With the dip, how far behind can the fries be? What are fries without sriracha mayo and mounds of warm cheese. It all starts with the chip. This next Call is a far more productive way to make a dark slide. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Open Trestle

Posted on September 21, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

CHOCOLATE
choo choo

The sight of a train trestle always conjures my cravings for hot chocolate. My entire life has been spent in residence within about a half-mile of railroad road tracks. I loved sitting on my front porch in the Fall with a cup of hot chocolate and listen to the trains pass. That all ended when I moved to Gatlinburg. Now my cravings for hot chocolate come about through all the standard means–a chill in the air, holiday decorations, a simple sweet tooth. But, today I found merely the name of the gallery in this next Call sent me in search of cocoa in my cabinet. This is a wonderful opportunity, don’t miss it…

PEPPERS
only smaller

My whole house smells like peppers & basil at the moment. A recent Saturday trip to the farmers market ended with a huge surplus of these staples, but to prevent loss, I am dehydrated both. Then I will grind, chop or crumble most of these into a smaller form for storage and use this winter. This next Call could be an outlet for new work, but it could be an excellent way to compact and move out studies or older work. I encourage you to contemplate cutting down your work. Yes, I DID say, “cutting down your work”…

BUBBLES

I’ve been studying bubbles. It makes washing dishes feel interminable. I’ve been working on an illustration in which bubble are key. Now that I better understand the transparency, I’ve finally opted to study the play of light on the curve of a multitude of objects.

for ENTRIES:
Curvilinear

“Planar lines that wind, wend and soar through a image’s field of focus. Curving components within a photograph give the image depth, allowing the viewer’s eye to move through the frame almost effortlessly. It is almost as if the photographer takes the viewer by the hand, draws them into the frame, and points the way. The viewer’s eyes are compelled to follow the line of the curvature. Darkroom Gallery is calling for images that possess this curvy compositional trait.” –darkroomgallery.com

NO LEMON
in my coffee, please

I haven’t been to Rhode Island in years. The Ocean State is famous for a lot of foods like the delight that is the delicate version of calamari. But, I can’t resist a couple of beverages that call Rhode Island home–frozen lemonade from Del’s® and cabinets. Cabinets are a coffee drink or milkshake-like treat made from coffee ice cream, coffee syrup and milk. They aren’t easy to find, but they ARE worth the search. This next Call might be willing to accept coffee prints in honor of sharing its home with the iconic drink. Either way, they are both worth a second look…
