CALL for ENTRIES: Content Matters

Posted on April 8, 2019April 9, 2019 by R.L. Gibson

SPRING greens

It is time for my seasonal obsession with ginger. I love ginger all of the time; however, about 4 to 6 weeks at the beginning of Spring, I am obsessed. I find ways to work it into every salad, entree & dessert. My family just smiles & nods, knowing that the ship will right itself soon. I think it happens because the weather has just warmed up enought to inspire thoughts of light and fresh fare, but our local harvest hasn’t quite made it to summertime bounty yet. High-quality ginger is available year ’round, and content matters.

This next Call has a deadline just around the corner (sorry for that), and it meets my resume criteria for this year (museums, publicly-funded galleries, collections or libraries). But the theme of “Content Matters” is what really pushed me to want to enter — achingly relevant. I am finishing a piece now that I think would be perfect, but, you know… jurors. We’ll see. If you are interested in a museum show and have work to offer, take a look at the details.

Check out this Call for Entries from Marin Museum of Contemporary Art (Novato, CA) for Content Matters. $35 entry, 40% commission. Delivery is nearly a month after notification, making shipping easier. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Loss, Redemption & Grace

Posted on March 19, 2019March 17, 2019 by R.L. Gibson

I’ll take the PIE to go

There are a lot of customs surrounding death & food. Most people are familiar with people trying to feed the living by bringing the ubiquitous casserole to the living, but I’ve recently learned that many cultures feed the dead by leaving food on graves, from leaving a pie on the gravestone at Easter to pouring wine on the burial site. I don’t have a real understanding of the symbolism (if you do, LMK) behind the traditions, but I love the love it takes to want to feed someone pie and wine, even after death. THAT is devotion.

My work has centered around human bones for a while now. Bones indicate a pattern for me, both for the living and the lost. I prowl cemeteries with a sense of joy, not mourning. Gravestones are monuments for the living of the best in those no longer able to create new memories. They are, without doubt, often erected out of obligation, but even in obligation, they document a lifespan as an accomplishment, no matter how brief. If they include additional details, they are rare ugly, even if the truth is ugly. This next Call speaks to me because if offers the opportunity to react to loss from a place of truth, not obligation or memorialization. I am also excited about an open opportunity in Atlanta, a rarity.

Check out this Call for Entries from EBD4 (Atlanta, GA) for Loss, Grace & Redemption. $40 Entry & 50% commission. The jurors are researchable, and this venue offers a rare Atlanta opportunity. Take a look…

don’t paint with FISH SAUCE

Every week I manage to make a handful of Insta-worthy, perfectly staged lunches & dinners, completely by accident. More often, I conjure tasty dishes that are weirdly, mostly shades of brown due to carmelization, excessive de-glazing and a love for soy, fish, Worchestershire & all other sauces, brown & salty. As you might imagine, the brown food pics, outside of coffee & walnuts, aren’t really winners on social media, ha. My work is not brown or salty, but similar & not…

A few times per week I manage to pull off a perfectly Insta-worthy image of my work in progress –always at an off-kilter angle with short focus to blur unresolved issues and just the right light to allow a contrast-y filter to make me look like a rock star. It is deceptive and born out of equal measure of insecurity and social media pressure to look like I always have everything effortlessly under control. I have guilt, but not. I don’t like feeding into the notion that studio life needs to be glamourous, but I also don’t like exposing my vulnerability underbelly to nameless, faceless critics. Then enters this Call. As you might imagine, I read A LOT of Calls, and I like options for art publication. But THIS call is different. This call wants to see the mess. Finally, there is an option to show studio life, work-in-progress specifically. I think that this is the kind of aspirational we can feel good about –always real, likely messy & unresolved. Seeing yourself represented as an artist is important. This Call is the brainchild of one of our previously Featured Artists, Robyn Thompson. It is a project of her course work while working toward her Master of Arts in Social Practice, making this a great opportunity to lift up ourselves AND one of our very own.

Check out this Call for Entries from On the Easel Magazine (digital/print) for Works In Progress. No entry fee for this aspirational call for work in progress. There are no cash awards, but this Call is all pros, no cons for me. Take a look, and please contact me personally if you have concerns…

for the love of DAIRY

I did NOT eat haggis in Scotland while in residency. No one offered it to me. It wasn’t on any menu that I saw. No one suggested that I should make or order it –except every person I know in the United States, ha. I did, however, give in to hot tea, drink liter after liter of unhomoginized, “gently pasteurized” local milk and ate a shameful number of all-butter Scottish shortbread biscuits. I ate boatloads of Dutch gouda and an embarrassing amount of brie from the local cheese shop. And the spinach quiche and sun-dried tomato bread from the local bakery was sinful. You do Scotland your way, I did it mine. The biggest news is how I approached my work differently…

I went to another continent, worked 80+ hours a week and came home with three small pieces of completed work. I spent 8 solid hours of work on an area the size of a silver dollar. I could NEVER do that at my home studio uninterrupted. I spent thirty hours over 3 days working & re-working a 2″ x 4″ section of stitching. I could NEVER do that at my home studio without massive frustration. Residency is the hardest thing to do. It is undistracted, unobstructed time to experiment and succeed and fail without excuse (that’s the hard part). Residency time is priceless. THIS residency is a working residency that requires working with the public on a project. If it lights you up, if you can envision the project and can’t wait to get started, please don’t miss this chance. Don’t let doubt or all the things you think you need to be get in the way. Just submit the project. Don’t worry about what happens if they say “yes” or if they say “no”. Take the chance because it could change the course of how you work and of how you approach your work forever.

Check out this Call for Submissions from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for 2019 Summer Residency. There is no entry fee, plus there is a stipend, project funding, housing and more. This is one of those rare opportunities. Please investigate to see if it is the right fit for you…

Most artists run their project through Annmarie’s creative reuse center, called the artLAB, where artists are encouraged to incorporate recycled or repurposed materials into their project. Residencies are meant to focus on community arts projects; those that merge arts and the environment are particularly desirable. ” –from annmariegarden.org

ELIGIBILITY: All artists 18+ living & working in U.S. Professional & emerging visual artists, musicians, and literary artists may apply.

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: April 15, 2019

ENTRY FEE: None

JUROR: Selection is made by an internal panel.

AWARDS: A modest stipend or honorarium — typically $225 per week for the summer residency; a modest project budget, typically $500-2000, depending on the project; housing (optional), the artLAB, studios, bicycle, kayak, a beautiful sculpture garden, galleries, program administration & more!

CALL for ENTRIES: 2019 Juried Waterloo

Posted on March 16, 2019March 16, 2019 by R.L. Gibson

working for FOOD

And, we’ve returned. I have been working as an artist in residence in Scotland for the past month, so I made the decision to shut us down for a few weeks. I’ve been back for three days –stuffing my face with all those foods one associates with home. Yours may be pasta or cheese, and mine is ALL foods, ha, but what I really missed were salads and vegetables and marinades, all the foods that I was too lazy or too time-pressed to enjoy making for myself. So many red peppers.

We need to talk about residency experiences, but let’s say hello with an exhibit to start. I have been crafting my resume to serve my current goals, and that includes public and non-profit art galleries, organizations & museums. Waterloo is one of my favorite non-profits, dedicating its resources to bringing quality programming to Cleveland, Ohio. This particular exhibit has a low entry fee and offers a small honorarium to all accepted artists ($5 less than the entry fee) while still offering thousands of dollars in awards. And to top it all off, the show’s run is during an arts festival, offering increased foot-traffic & pubicity. There are a lot of pros. Lets celebrate the good ones…

Check out this Call for Entries from Waterloo Arts (Cleveland, OH) for the 2019 Juried Exhibition. This is a unique opportunity for artists to exhibit work in the Waterloo Arts Gallery. For the third straight year, the Juried Exhibition will take place in three locations in the Waterloo Arts District: Waterloo Arts, Praxis Fiber Workshop and Brick Ceramic + Design. Artists’ work will also be to the more than 5,000 attendees of The Waterloo Arts Fest that is scheduled during the run of the show. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Wide Open 10

Posted on January 24, 2019January 24, 2019 by R.L. Gibson

a-PEELING

My mother doesn’t own a vegetable peeler. Well, didn’t. While I have the benefit of a knife skills class in culinary school, I am not great a peeling vegetables. I can tourne a potato, but if I peel potatoes for mash, you’d better hope I have a vegetable peeler… or a LOT of potatoes. When my mother requested vegetable soup over the holidays, I refused unless she let me buy a peeler. She agreed with disdain, and I spent $3 on the most generic “Domestix” variety available at the local grocer. CHANGED MY LIFE, well, my cooking anyway. With one swoop across a potato, I realized how dull my home peeler was. I put the gadget on my holiday list, and it showed up under the tree. Suddenly I have zucchini ribbons in salad & shaved carrots in my coleslaw. The possibilities are wide open, ha.

I’ve done the same with paint recently. I had access to some more highly pigmented tube watercolors recently, and it affected my approach to the work I did with them. My nature is to “make do” with what I have. It is taught as a virtue in the South. Don’t get me started on all the evils of making do. It is a mindset meant to make children grateful for what they have, but it often squashes ambition and self-value in adults. That mindset combined with all the guilt I have associated with spending money, has kept me “making do” with some watercolors that are not working for me. Now when I finish a tube that doesn’t behave in a way that serves my work, I re-order that hue or something similar from a different maker. I am exploring variations & dispersal patterns & saturation unknown. The adventure has left me open to the possibilities. Vegetable peeler & watercolors. Variations on a theme.

This next Call is also looking for variations on the theme of “Wide Open”. BWAC is one of my favorite venues, known for great jurors, reliable curatorial vision, a non-profit format & even artist run. Interested? Then check out this Call for Entries from BWAC (Brooklyn, NY) for Wide Open 10. There is a distinct discount for early entry, so don’t delay. Take a look…

villainous FRUIT

I blew my grocery budget this week. I ran out of vanilla, almonds, pecans & walnuts all at one time. I may or may not have fallen prey to a Pinterest recipe that called for what seems like all the avocados in California, ha. Avocado toast is the villain once again. I see a lot of rice and beans for the end of the month. Do you rule your budget or does your budget rule you?

One of the most common stumbling blocks to productivity that I hear from artists is budget. Some media are incredibly expensive, some are not. We don’t always choose our media; sometimes it chooses us. So what do you do when you can’t afford 16 new tubes of oil? I have a friend that has become a master of mixing and regularly stocks only 6 colors. Early on, he did only monochromatic work that allowed him to stock only 3 tubes. I’m not suggesting this is your answer; I don’t have the answers. But I know that I must create, so I must find a way.

For years, I only did work that was under 12″ x 12″. Because I worked on gallery wrapped canvas or cradled wood I could ship anything I made via USPS Priority Mail for $8 or less. Now that I’m working on paper, I am torn between framing affordably small pieces or adding huge chunks of museum-quality matting to increase the negative space. That means you’re average 8″ x 10″ piece is 16″ x 20″ framed and 18″ x 24 “x 4″ by the time it is wrapped & packed & shipped. That doesn’t go anywhere in the continental U.S. for less than $36 bucks, and $50+ internationally, each way. This next show is for work 10″ x 10″, so if I work the math backwards, I would have to do 4″x4”. Hmmm, challenge accepted.

So, how about you? Do you normally work small or is this a challenge for you? Entry is cheap & the size means shipping is cheap. Check out this Call for Entries from The Studios of Key West & Lemonade Stand Gallery (Key West, FL) for 2019 Small Works Exhibit at the Sanger Gallery. $14 Entry & 50% commission. This show has a multi-year history for you to research. Is this right for you?

focused and FARE

I cheated on my husband with shrimp tacos. He’s contact allergic to shellfish, and on the rare occasion I eat a meal without him, my radar is firmly set on shrimp. I feel guilty while eating them, like I’ve cheated, and then have to go through a hazmat-style sterilization process afterward. But, shrimp.

I had that shrimp-y luncheon with my a friend, an accomplished realist painter. We spent time talking about our plans for the next weeks and months. She paints prolifically and noted, “I haven’t even been looking at Calls because I can’t do anything until Fall”. Between work for galleries that represent her, a couple of invitational shows and a museum solo show that comes down this week, she can’t lose focus. Realizing that kind of focus has been my goal for months, and I am beginning to see results, but it requires tuning out the things that don’t serve my focused goal.

Are museum shows a part of your current plan? If yes, check out this Call for Entries from Brownsville Museum of Fine Art (Brownsville, TX) for 47th International Art Show. $45 entry & 30% commission, plus $3300 in cash awards. Both jurors’ work is well documented, so do your homework!

CALL for ENTRIES: Persistence

Posted on January 20, 2019January 19, 2019 by R.L. Gibson

the need for CHEESE

I had emergency ravioli last weekend. Well, I had emergency oral surgery. It was every bit as awful as that sounds, but necessary. Since my husband & son both have Celiac disease, so true Italian pasta deliciousness is an uncommon sight in my house. But after all the soup and oatmeal I could stand, I was craving comfort food that wouldn’t make me hate life later. I tried everything in my house, one after the other, foods were too hot, too cold, to crunchy, too crispy, too bland, too sticky. And then there was delivery cheese ravioli. It was like the clouds parted. Divine.

If only all such persistence paid dividends, right? Sometime persistence in art leads to over-working. I’ve put a lot of holes in a lot of paper, and even a few canvases, over the years. The outcome of political persistence has varied over the years from victory parties to concession speeches, rallies to protests, elections to resignation. What drives your artist persistence? What is the benchmark you trying to pass or surpass? Is it a resume qualifier? Is it a sales or publication goal? Is it a signature body of work or finding your voice? It is all of those things for me, but somewhere tied up in all of those things is belief in my own legitimacy as an artist. Again, what drives your artist persistence?

Today’s Call celebrates the persistence of women by celebrating female artists. Take a look to see if this one is right for you. This Call for Entries from the d’Art Center (Norlfolk, VA) for Persistence: A National Exhibition Celebrating Women’s Empowerment. I’m happy to publish a Call that welcomes both fine art & fine craft. Do you have work for this Call?

CALL for ENTRIES: Go Fish

Posted on January 17, 2019January 16, 2019 by R.L. Gibson

here FISHY FISHY FISHY

Ten years ago, I just quit eating tuna salad. I don’t know why. It has never been my favorite, but for some reason it just mysteriously disappeared from my menu-of-habit. I still eat chicken & egg salad. I even enjoy salmon patties on regular occasion. Hell, I even eat tuna fillets at dinner when I find a good deal, but mentioning tuna salad for lunch gets an immediate “no thanks.” Sometimes things just seem fishy.

In the art world, we’ve all become suspicious that someone has an alternative motive . I am leery of every call, every competition. If you read it here, it has passed a fairly thorough “seems fishy” investigation. The vanity galleries and fees-are-more-than-any-possible-reward scams are the easiest to see through. But what about the the newer spaces? The unconventional places? We want to support new endeavors from those whose passion is to serve artists and the development of best practices, but when is your “gut” enough to make it safe to gamble? When does is cease being fishy?

The landlord for my new studio space has me on high alert. It is 200 sq. ft. with power included for $50 per week. A steal right? But he is also willing to sink thousands of dollars into its renovation to make a 12-month studio space for me. Assuming the utilities are $50 a month, it will take him more than a year to recoup the cost for the renovation. Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to leave it as a storage space? Very fishy. Maybe he’s just trying to support the arts by breaking even on an unused asset. The verdict is still out. I’ll keep you updated.

This next Call is highly fishy, in a literal sense. Do you have work that is inspired by fish, fishing or aquatic fauna? Here’s your chance to trade in your suspicion for show time. Check out this Call for Entries from the Cloyde Snook Gallery at Adams State University Art Department (Alamosa, CO) for Go Fish. $35 entry & no commission for this academic show. This is a beautiful venue…
