CALL for ENTRIES: 25 Years at Torpedo Factory!

Posted on April 27, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

FOREVER 25

Just a year or so after the 25th anniversary of my birth, I began my love affair with cheese. Well, more accurately, I began working behind the counter of a gourmet cheese shop. A world that had previously been defined by cheddar, Swiss and American cheeses now suddenly included choices between cow, goat and even sheep’s milk cheeses. Sometimes 25 years is the turning point. This next call wants to see your perspective on the past 25 years’ events. Whatcha got?

Check out this Call for Entries for the Target Gallery at the Torpedo Factory Art Center (Alexandria, VA) for 25 Years. It is no secret that I love this gallery for their curatorial vision, but I think it is with good reason. Investigate for yourself…

CALL for ENTRIES: June Installationz

Posted on April 25, 2012April 25, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

HOT SUMMER
nights

Summer and a milestone birthday for me are rapidly approaching. I feel the need to throw a theme party with garden lanterns, red plaid table cloths, paper plates and a watermelon-spitting seed contest. Not your idea of summer? Maybe its a Southern thing. This next call is serving up three provoking themes. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES:
June Installationz

This June, ARTs East New York is hosting a pop-up gallery tour and invites artists in all disciplines to submit work for exhibition relating to the three themes below. All three exhibitions will be part of a one-night pop-up gallery tour on June 22nd in East New York. I ART East New York will be displayed in establishments around the New Lots Triangle. Juneteeth will be showcased about the perimeter of the New Lots Library. Threadz will have a month long run at the ARTs East New York gallery.

I ART East New York: East New York might be somewhere you visit, the place where you work or the community you call home. Even if you’ve only heard about the neighborhood, we invite you to explore East New York through your art. Pieces that most creatively and positively portray the culture, character and community of this Brooklyn destination will be chosen for exhibition.

Juneteenth: A Revelation of Freedom: Juneteenth commemorates the day on which African Americans in Texas, who had been kept enslaved two and a half years past the abolition of slavery, finally received news of their freedom. For this exhibit, we are requesting works that celebrate this moment of enlightenment, pay homage to ancestors who afforded this autonomy and investigate the African diaspora at large as a legacy of liberation. Pieces that best honor and examine the legacy of the African experience in the United States will be included in this important exhibit.

Threadz: Untwining Mistaken Messages Within the Fabric of Hip Hop. The tragic murder of Trayvon Martin forces us to think seriously about perceptions of Hip Hop culture and its representations in mainstream society. The reigning image of Black youth centers on the Hip Hop aesthetic, a mode of expression that can be identified by styles of art and fashion. We ask artists to examine Hip Hop as a depiction of the urban lifestyle, its reception by the larger public and its potential for positively reflecting the African American youth experience. This exhibition is being held in honor of Trayvon Martin, and works speaking directly to this heartbreaking death, and its connection to Hip Hop, are especially encouraged.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All media

DEADLINE: May 11, 2012

NOTIFICATION: End of May

ENTRY FEE: No fee

JUROR: A committee will make the final selections for the show.

SALES: ARTs East New York will charge a 10% commission fee.

JIMMY CHOO
and a cake too!

I have a milestone birthday on the horizon, and I am curious whether my cake will be a reflection of my obsession with food, art or shoes (assuming my wonderful husband thinks to get me a cake). My shoe obsession is widely known (and often ridiculed) locally, but only time will tell about whether it will show up as a cake theme. Check out this Jimmy Choo Cake from Truly Scrumptious. A shoe obsession of your own could help with this next Call. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Annual Axis Gallery Juried

Posted on April 19, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

RECIPE for
SUCCESS

Like many of you, I frequently “wing it” in the kitchen. I like the idea of cooking with whatever you have on hand and making adjustments according to taste along the way. However, while editing a recipe for a friend recently, I realized there is a certain comfort in knowing the exact amount of salt to put in the potatoes. There is comfort in not guessing the temperature or constantly checking the oven to see if your famous apple pie is ready. Take comfort in the fact that this Call is a well-established show with lots of room for research. Time to create your own recipe…

REMINDER: Soap Factory Open Call

Posted on April 17, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

LESS TALKING,
more eating…

There is a point at which loving food turns into a food obsession. I am self-aware enough to know that I have long passed that point. I cannot simply EAT anything. Eating requires dissection and discussion before digestion. Dinner is often cold by the time it is eaten fully. Likewise, I meet emerging artists simply obsessed with conquering their first solo show. This next call will require your own dissection and discussion before digestion. Bon appetite…

CALL for ENTRIES: Nature

Posted on March 31, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

GREEN BEANS,
hold the casserole

I simply can’t handle french fried Onions.. They are simply too in-your-face. Go figure, I’ll eat stinky cheese till the goat come home, but you can keep the green bean casserole to your self. (Although here’s a pretty good recipe.) Sometimes I’m okay with that sort of straight forwardness, sometimes I’m not. This next Call is point blank about the benefits of this online competition, and I’m okay with that. Investigate for yourself…

Check out the Call for Entries from the Light, Space & Time Gallery for their online NATURE competition. You know that I am not a huge fan of online competitions; however, I think of this as digital publication which is always a good thing. The entry fee is dirt cheap, and the value of inbound links to your website is priceless. Take a look…

CALL for PROPOSALS: Solo in Vegas

Posted on March 29, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

BEADS of SILVER

Dragées remind me of Las Vegas. You know… the little candy beads, often silver, that you see decorating cakes and cupcakes. Dragées also remind me of a Martha Stewart show many moons ago when Miss Piggy was the guest star, and they made cookies decorated with “dra-geeeees,” as Miss Piggy pronounced it. But, I digress. This next call has nothing to do with Miss Piggy and everything to do with Vegas. Take a look…

PICK ME! PICK ME!
pick me!

I now live closer to town, and therefore, closer to food–fast food. It isn’t all evil. I succumb to McDonald’s® fries on occasion, but I also like the chipotle chicken wrap.

This next call is themed to encourage people to make a healthy choice as well. Take a look at this cool idea…
