RESIDENCY: 360 XOCHI QUETZAL

Posted on December 17, 2013December 17, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

Learn how to become an AAAD Featured Artist!

HO, HO…
HOT

When the weather gets cold, I dream of chili peppers. Ridiculous? Maybe. You want hot cocoa, I want hot cocoa too…with a little chili pepper. We’re not that different. Oh, but how I long for a Tortas ahogadas (drowned sandwich) soaked in all of its chili pepper glory. Is it wrong to apply for an artist residency, like the one in this next Call, just to eat a sandwich–a really, really good sandwich? Luckily there are many great reason other than the Tortas ahogadas to apply. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Applications from 360 XOCHI QUETZAL Artist and Writers Residency Program (Chapala, Mexico) for their Spring Residency Program. Free studio, housing AND a food stipend. You just have to get yourself to Mexico. Just applythrough the CAFE system; you know you need this…

CALL for ENTRIES: Urban Legends

Posted on December 10, 2013December 10, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

TURKEY
lurkey

I don’t eat turkey on holidays. I’ve never liked the pressure of culinary conformity, or any other kind for that matter. I usually have ham or duck. Interestingly enough, I cooked a turkey the week before Thanksgiving this year because they were on sale. But, all of the stories of people burning their houses down while attempting to deep fry their turkey don’t make me want to try that method. I realize those stories are exaggerated to almost urban legend status, but I am simply not enticed. I AM enticed by this next Call focused on urban legends though…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Non-Fiction Gallery (Savannah, GA) for Common Knowledge, and exhibit exploring proverbial sayings, urban legends, folklore and catchphrases. AND, the entry fee is only $20…

Who will be ARTIST of the YEAR?

Posted on December 6, 2013December 6, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

SPRINKLE ME

One of the joys of writing posts for this blog is the privilege of reviewing entries into the $5 Art Contest. Choosing a Featured Artist is difficult, but I appreciate the opportunity to do so. Featured Artists are a little like the sprinkles on top of my art community cupcake.

Once a Featured Artist’s post goes live, their job is simply to promote the post to both the benefit of AAAD and their own exposure. Comments generated by their posts are counted at the end of the year, and the post wit the largest number of comments is named Artist of the Year.

In 2010, it was Catherine Roach. She will always have a special place in AAAD’s history. She keeps in touch, and we are so very proud to be a part of her history. In 2011 it was the intricate work of weaver Pamela Zimmerman. Her original interview remains among my favorites. In 2012, it was mixed media collage artist Stephanie Mead’s portraiture work that took my breath away.

Who will be ArtAndArtDeadlines.com’s
2013 Artist of the Year?
That is all up to you.

Look through the 2013 Featured Artist profiles. Leave a comment for your favorite…or more than one. Comments stop being counted after midnight EST on December 31st.

Results will be announced the first week of January!

If you would like to be considered for Featured Artist, enter our $5 Art Contest (that can also be entered for free). Or, if competition isn’t your cup of tea, submit your information to our Artist to Love program and start building a stronger web presence today!

OPEN CALL: Solo Project House

Posted on December 4, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

DINNER
for one

I prefer not to eat alone. It isn’t due to all the ridiculous social stigma attached because I dislike eating alone even at home. When I eat alone, I tend to get sucked into the idea of a gourmet meal which sounds fantastic but takes forever. In the middle of cooking, I break down and eat a “snack” (often the size of a meal) thereby insuring I won’t be hungry by the time dinner is ready to be eaten. I may not like to eat alone, but this next Call is for your work–all alone. And, let’s face it, we all like to SHOW alone…

Check out this Open Call from Solo Project House (Newark, NJ) for 2014-15 Solo Exhibits. Winners receive a 6 week exhibit in NYC. Is this one for you?

THE COOKIE
stands alone

I have been meaning to make cookies all week. I have this great recipe for peanut butter chocolate chip cookies made with chickpeas instead of traditional wheat flour. They are fantastic; however, every time I start to make them, I don’t quite have enough large chocolate chips. Everyone in my house grabs a small handful on their way through the kitchen. I suppose somethings are best all on their own. This next Call might give YOU the chance to be on your own. Investigate…

BUTTER
butt

I want to smack every pert, ponytail-wearing, 20-something that looks at me with pity when they see 2 lbs. of butter in my shopping cart. I can read their calorie-counting little minds, “Fat makes you fat; no wonder you’ve got a case of the pudgies.” Really? Does anyone really still believe the myth that fat makes you fat? My pudge is due to eating more than I move. End of story. I’ll take my butter over your chemical-laden margarine any day, Ms. Ponytail. Explore your own myths with this next Call. Bring on the butter…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Myths & Legends

This exhibit celebrates works of art that bring to life fantastical myths, legends, fables, folktales, fairy tales, and the like. Around the world, from prehistoric times to the present, artists have been part of the story-telling process, giving shape and form to fantastical stories of supernatural beings, great heroes and heroines, cautionary tales, magical creatures, and more. In ancient times, artists commonly rendered images of these stories on walls, pottery, statuary, tapestries, and paintings. In more recent times, books, graphic novels, movies, apps, and games have expanded the way we experience these stories. No matter the time period, the artist becomes the story-teller and shares their spectacular vision through their art.

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to artists age 18 and older working in the U.S.

MEDIA: All media welcome; small to large-scale installations; new media encouraged; indoor only.

DEADLINE:
December 6, 2013

NOTIFICATION:
Via email on or before
December 17, 2013

ENTRY FEE: Artists must submit a $25 entry fee (or $20 for Annmarie members) for up to four entries. Entry fee must be paid by check, money order, or credit card.

JUROR: TBA

AWARDS: Annmarie will present cash awards to outstanding work. Judging will be done on installed works, not application images. If possible, judging will occur prior to the exhibit opening and awards will be presented at the opening reception.

SALES: Works selected for exhibition cannot be removed before the end of the exhibition. Should a sale resulting from the exhibition occur, Annmarie will retain a 40% commission of the listed sale price.
