OPEN CALL: Private Collection

Posted on June 20, 2016June 20, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

MUSHROOMS hold the pepperoni

Pepperoni rolls are all the rage in West Virginia, often attributed to a historically large Italian immigrant population. However, my food fascination during my 4 days in West Virginia this week has been morel mushrooms. Hunting large caches or collection a large number of morels is a statewide obsession as well as a part-time moneymaker for many. If you’ve never tried this meaty, intensely-flavored variety, search them out. You don’t have to make a special trip to West Virginia, your local grocer may carry them. This next Call is interested in your collection of art, not mushrooms. Investigate…

Check out this Open Call from Oona Rokyta for her private collection. Submissions must be made via the works.io platform which is free to join. Take a look…

HERO

What would we do without the iconic dishes that make up the safety net? You know the ones…everyone likes some version of it. They tend to be my “go to” meals on nights when I have to plan in advance. Since I don’t know what anyone will be in the mood for, I hit the highlights. Tonight is spaghetti night. No matter who is coming, I can cover vegetarian, vegan & gluten-free if need be. This Call is all about iconic art categories. Please investigate this one. If you work in 2-D, there is probably a way to make this work for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art of Brands (a new AAAD sponsor) for Iconic Images. There is no entry fee, and this could be a great way to earn money from your art. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: So many of you have talked to me about selling your work w/o being bogged down running a gallery or about art fairs or gallery representation. I know you often leave the conversation not feeling like nothing is accessible. I like THIS opportunity. If you work in 2-D, don’t dismiss this Call. Some of you might consider simply doing what you already do but direct some content to suit this purpose. It won’t be for everyone, but I think it is a valid option for a lot of you.

Art of Brands is just beginning to fill out their categories, so be sure to let them know if you have work that you think might fit but isn’t currently represented.

DEADLINE: Ongoing entries wanted. *For my favorite artistic procrastinators, don’t worry, I’ll post this Call for Entries at least once per quarter for a while just in case you are too busy to enter today.

NOTIFICATION: Within 72 hours of completing the sign-up process

ENTRY FEE: No entry fee

CURATORS: A committee of members with backgrounds in art

ARTIST to LOVE: Ansley Adams

WE found ANOTHER great one!

This fantastic artist is from Rock Hill, SC! Say “Hello” to our newest Artist to Love…

Oil Painting

ADAMS was born in the rural outskirts of Pittsburgh, PA, where she lived before settling in Charlotte, NC. Adams obtained a BA in Art & Education from Wingate University & a MFA in Painting at the University of SC. Her research on objects and the interior is drawn from the emotional memory of solitude and longing that the memory of place or thing holds for her. She is inspired by the desire to express, through ideas of shared experience, the emotional memory that these locations or 'special objects' hold.

POT

The art in my kitchen is more commonly viewed than any other work in my house.

My collection ranges from diary collage applied to toasters to beautiful textural miniature abstracts to large flying pigs. This next Call could help you get your work in someone else’s kitchen.

cheese, cheese
or CHEESE?

I will emerge from the melted cheese eventually. Yes, I realize I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks. You’ll just have to forgive me. I’ve been dealing with some pretty serious health challenges and complications from surgery. I AM OKAY; I promise. I’ve just been feeling sorry for myself and haven’t been capable of spreading the same generous helpings of optimism for which I am known. I’ve been drowning in the melted cheese of recovery: macaroni ‘n’ cheese, grilled cheese, cheese enchiladas, three cheese lasagna–the food of the depressed and/or recovering. But, I am slowly emerging from the cheesy fog. I had fresh fish tacos last night (with a minimal amount of monterrey jack). So, this next Call seemed like the perfect “I’m almost back” post. Take a look…

REMINDER: Represent Deadline

CHEESY
me

If I had to choose one food to represent me as a person, I would possibly die of indecision. But, since my food ramblings are only the fluff of why readers come to this site, and you don’t have enough time to wait…let’s will say just for argument’s sake that goat cheese would represent me perfectly. Soft but with an edge, getting a little more tart with age, not for everyone, but goes well with almost anything. Goat cheese is me. If goat cheese isn’t you, don’t worry. This next Call offers you a chance for a year-long representation. Investigate…
