Tomatoes get me every time. Take my advice and wait. This next Call for a spring art show in NYC simply won’t wait for Summer. This is a great way to dip your toe in the pool of mega-shows while leaving the details to the professionals. Investigate…

COOKING

This next Call could be how you get an audience to consume your work. ~~Eat~~ Cook your heart out…

CALL for ENTRIES: Art Inter/National

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

EAT your HEART out!

While watching a TV show about how salami is made, my son announced that eating the organs of an animal is wrong. However, when I explained all the things that his new belief would eliminate from his menu, he then asked, “Do they at least WASH the intestines first?” Hehehe. These days I prefer my animal organs in the form of chicken pate, but I will have to start keeping the ingredient list to myself, apparently. This next Call for Entries involves a different sort of heart all together. This could be an excellent opportunity…

GALLERY REPRESENTATION: Printmakers

Posted on July 24, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

PRINTMAKERS DESERVE

We always want what we can’t have. I want to live on blue cheese, but my family has explain that it isn’t really an option. Printmakers want shows to enter…and it really should be an option.

As I have mentioned before, artists looking for printmakers’ call for entry make up a significant part of the readership of ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. They ARE hard to find–so when I run across any opportunity for printmakers, I like to pass it along. This is a great opportunity for Gallery Representation for a printmaker…and you don’t have to be local.
