CALL for ENTRIES: Monochromatic

Posted on December 18, 2011December 17, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BEET me PURPLE

I prefer my foods on the edge of extreme–from color to taste. My newest favorite are little purple, fingerling potatoes. Yum. In addition to being beautiful, those brightly colored foods tend to be higher in iron and anti-oxidants that your body needs to be healthy. I have sworn of the beige potato chip or two, but I’ll take beets instead on most days. This next show is interested in the black and white extremes. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Monochromatic. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($20), and I love that they will provide free matting and framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Monochromatic

“The term accessories has come to include a host of photographic gadgets of questionable value…“Ansel Adams, The Camera

“A good daguerreotype was as perfect a kind of photograph as was ever made.” Edward Steichen

These two masters enriched the history of photography by being some of the first to experiment with new technologies in a relatively new art medium. They were also traditionalists and truly embraced manual and old photography processes. The hundred and fifty photographers from Steichen’s world is millions today, and finding “as perfect a kind of photograph as was ever made” is no longer as simple.

Digital cameras and editing software have transformed the medium and opened up whole new worlds for the 21st century photographer. We have dozens of “aps” that help us tweak a digital image to “perfection” in minutes. A vast repertoire of image resources we look to for inspiration and meaning still brings us to the same point of reflection as photographers of the early 20th century: what is the art of photography?

Black and white photography, a genre that many would claim made them fall in love with image-making in the first place, has remained completely relevant and contemporary despite it’s ancient roots. It is timeless, sometimes soft, sometimes dramatic and brings new perspective to images and image making. Whether you are a darkroom purist or a Photoshop craftperson, show us your love for hue-less images. The Darkroom Galllery wants to see YOUR best black and white or alternative process images for an exhibit that will pay tribute to the origins of photography and praise it’s development.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If you are younger, you must have a parent or legal guardian make the submission for you.

MEDIA: Photography. Monochrome images from traditional silver black and whites to cyanotypes, sepia toned photographs and anything else in the color-less spectrum.

DEADLINE: Jan. 25, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Feb. 1, 2012

JUROR: Growing up in southern Poland, Rafal Maleszyk spent his childhood and early years in post-communist Poland. He first started exploring photography using a 35mm Kiev on his fourteenth birthday.

His style focuses on simplifying and expressing with intimacy the perspectives in nature.

In 2009, he moved to the Oahu island of Hawaii, where he now works as a professional fine art black and white landscape photographer, specializing in large format prints series using a digital medium format Hasselblad camera. Maleszyk has received numerous awards for his work.

CALL for ENTRIES: Square Inches

Posted on December 9, 2011December 9, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BUILDING BLOCKS…
of Cheese

Being aware of serving sizes sucks. It takes all the fun out of over eating. I’ve been on a lot of diets over the years, but the only thing that really works is being AWARE of what you put in your body. The serving sizes I use most often? A deck of cards is about the size of an appropriate portion of protein like fish or chicken, and a square inch is approximately 1 ounce of cheese. Moderation sucks. Moderation x 20 is a little more my speed. Let me know what you think…

Check out this Call for Entries for Square Inches of Love, a design competition, sponsored by OPeX studios and benefitting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The entry fee is cheap, and even if you don’t win an award …inbound links to your website are worth their weight in clams, folks!

CALL for ENTRIES: Julia Margaret Cameron Award

Posted on December 6, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CHEESY TRUTH

French food is the gold standard. You don’t have to agree with me; it is objective fact. It isn’t all about sauce. I believe it is all about the cheese. The French boast 350 to 400 TYPES of cheese… maybe 1000. I haven’t tried them all yet; it is on my bucket list. Until I try them all and pronounce my favorite, give Sainte-Maure de Touraine a try. Could you pick some up for me when you’re at this opening?

Check out this Call for Entries for the Julia Margaret Cameron Award from the Worldwide Photography Gala Awards. Here a chance to fulfill all of your beret-wearing, Eiffel Tower visiting Parisian art fantasies. Sign me up…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Julia Margaret Cameron Award

ELIGIBILITY: Professional and non professional female artists from all countries.

MEDIA: Photography. Traditional, contemporary, avant-garde, creative and experimental works that include old and new processes, mixed techniques, and challenging personal, emotional or political statements will be welcome.

DEADLINE: December 30th, 2011, at 11:59pm PST

NOTIFICATION: March 8th, 2012 (honoring the International Women’s Day)

ENTRY FEE: $40 for the first 3 images; $10 each additional image

JUROR: Amber Terranova is the photo editor for Photo District News. She worked previously for New York magazine and Outside. She holds a BFA in photography from the School of Visual Arts, Manhattan. Amber has assisted with programming at Center, a Santa Fe-based non-profit organization that supports photographers. Her taste in photography tends toward emerging and established artists with strong personal projects, surprising content and evidence of political or social engagement. She’s most drawn to introspective, provocative work.

Dina Bova was born in Moscow and currently lives in Israel. Her images have been awarded in Px3, Hasselbald Masters, Sony Awards, 1st edition of the JMCA, Nikon, PDN’s World in Focus, and have won 21 Gold medals in international photo-contests under FIAP/PSA patronage in USA, Austria, France, England, Croatia, Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel. Her art is a world of allegories, metaphors and multifaceted associations. She thinks that it’s not important how an artist creates his work. It can be created with any tool and any medium, but it should speak for itself and convey a very special mood. It should need no explanation, no elaboration and no apologies. It can be very aesthetic or the opposite of it. For Dina, the most important thing is freeing the imagination.

AWARDS: The Julia Margaret Cameron Award will be given to 12 women photographers which will be invited to exhibit (and sell) their work in a very selective collective exhibition in Paris during 2013, honoring one hundredth year of the birth of Robert Capa, co-founder of Magnum Photos and famous war photojournalist. WPGA will take care of the framing and matting, as well as all gallery expenses. A catalog will be printed, and all 12 awardees will receive one free copy.

SALES: Exhibitors will receive 40% of the sales, 20% will be reserved for the gallery/organizers, and 40% will be donated to a charitable organization selected by the awardees.

CALL for ENTRIES: Nature Undisturbed 2012

Posted on November 25, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BOTTOMS UP

Call me closed minded, but there are somethings that I am not interested in eating. Nature is in my face here in the Great Smoky Mountains, and we eat local honey for its ability to help reduce our allergies. However, I am not drinking poison ivy tea everyday for 6 weeks to reduce my chance of breaking out in a rash. People do it. I went on a guided hike and listened to my naturalist explain the ritual to me. Call me crazy, but you shouldn’t eat anything whose name starts with “poison”. Some things ought not be disturbed. This Call for Entries is proof that others think the same. Read on…

CALL for ENTRIES: Emergent Artist

Posted on November 18, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

SCARY,
FURRY FOOD

Sometimes you just have to eat it. Food can be scary AND wonderful. You will never know until you eat it. Someone had to eat the first kiwi fruit, the first coconut, and the first peanut. Be brave. This next Call takes a little bravery too. More than a few of you out there are a touch jaded, and I will grant that many of you have been burned and have good reason. I just want you to remember that sometimes, just sometimes, you have to be brave…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Emergent Artist Award, conducted in partnership with the Alliance Française of Dubai, a French cultural organization.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Built Environment

Posted on November 5, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

GLORIOUS
GÂTEAUX!

Build it, and I will eat. I stand in awe of pastry chefs. Most of the ones I know are delightfully batty (industry rumor is that the flour makes you a little off center). I love that their creations are often part art, part architechture. If you don’t think how something looks affects how it tastes, you are clearly eating ugly food. This next Call wants to see the built environment that inspires you. As always, feel free to venture past food…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery in Vermont called The Built Environment. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Darkroom offers free framing & matting on accepted work!

* Editor’s Note: You guys always knock it out of the park with this gallery. Please make sure that you tell them that you found the show on Art & Art Deadlines so they know that all the talent is here at AAAD.

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
The Built Environment

Images that capture a vision of the man made world around us.

We’ve been documenting the built environment since the beginnings of photography. It’s natural – our lives are entwined with and dependent upon structures of all kinds. Let us examine the genius designs, abundant materials both found and fabricated, engineering feats, beauty and function, of our constructed environments. Technical mastery has much to do with a great architectural photograph, but also an understanding of the architect’s vision, and/or the humanity that invigorates and utilizes its spaces.

Whether a skyscraper or a shed, chasm span or walking bridge, from convenience store to industrial complex, public or personal (heck, an outhouse is a pertinent structure), and even the remains of such, Darkroom Gallery is looking forward to featuring your built environments.

JUROR: With an engineering degree from Trinity College (Dublin) and an Architect/Author father (Raymond McGrath), Norman McGrath was primed for educated view of his subject. He has been photographing architecture and interiors for decades, capturing the work of major architects and designers and their well-known works. His images have been featured in the foremost architectural publications, as well as his popular book, “Photographing Buildings Inside Out”. The American Institute of Architects selected McGrath for its Institute Honor award. McGrath continues to author and co-author books illustrated with architectural photography (“Manhattan Skyscrapers”, “Skyscraper Rivals”, and New York’s Pennsylvania Station”) as well as educate and inspire students of photography at the Maine Photographic Workshops, the Palm Beach Photo Workshops, and the Calumet Institute of the University of Maryland.

CALL for ENTRIES: Speaking Art Award

Posted on November 4, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

WILL YOU
berry ME?

Some foods speak for themselves and almost don’t need to be tasted. A beautiful mound of dark chocolate makes my mouth water before I ever taste or smell it. I can imagine the taste of ripe raspberries and blackberries by just conjuing the image in my head. Think about the psychologically healing power of chicken soup (or in my case, junk food). Food speaks, and so should your work. This next Call wants art that speaks. This could be a great year-long opportunity for you…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Speaking Art Award from SpeakingArtAward.com. In addition to the cash award for first place, ten additional winners also get commission-free, online representation for one year. Take a look at this one…

JUROR: Internationally exhibited artist Flynn Geissel holds a deep passion for art and has been painting since 1997. The artist’s work has been exhibited in two American museums and in galleries throughout the nation. Serving two masters, the artist studied studio art and depth psychology, completing a doctoral degree in counseling psychology. During the study and practice of psychology, Geissel gravitated toward the domains of well-being, creativity, and the use of creative process as a healing tool. Discovering a wealth of artistic material in the study of dreams, the unconscious, and the healing stories of many cultures, the artist moved further into art as a life calling.

Equally proficient in the landscape as well as in abstract expressionism, Geissel’s work is a regular part of juried exhibits. Geissel’s work has also been exhibited at two Americal Museums including the July 2010 “Sensory Overload” exhibit at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC and the Museum of the Living Artist in San Diego.

CALL for ENTRIES: Extraordinary Exposures

Posted on November 3, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

EXPOSE your
SPROUT

Some foods require exposure therapy, and my child is proof. Let’s face it, not every food makes your palate sing on first taste. I still can’t get my kid to eat brussel sprouts, but through endless enforcement of the you-have-to-at-least-try-it rule, he now voluntarily eates tomatoes, pinto beans, butternut squash, and even spinach salad. This next Call wants to see your exposures. Take a look…

Posted on November 2, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

EGG ON MY FACE

I am a wierdo, admittedly. I am obsessed with food. I don’t drink coffee. I rarely wear pants. I won’t do much that can’t be done in four inch heels, and I don’t like prints…unless they are geometric. Oh yeah, that is just the tip of the weirdness iceberg. I like geometric food too…Gorgeous round egg yolks, little logs of goat cheese, and the perfect grid of a golden waffle. This next Call shares my love of the geometric. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Snap to Grid from the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art (LACDA). Build your resume with online entry, guaranteed acceptance and a chance to get special consideration for future solo and group exhibits. What more could you want?

All Hung Exhibit

ENTRY FEE: $32 registration fee per image

AWARDS: Special consideration is given to “Snap to Grid” artists for inclusion in future exhibits. Entrants to their calls for submissions form the pool of artists from which they select the majority of their exhibitors. There have been a large number of “Snap to Grid” participants who have been included in group exhibits, as well as a number of solo shows.

Two easy steps to exhibit your work at LACDA…

1) Register (pay):
http://lacda.com/juried/juriedshow.html

2) Upload images (separate upload for ea.):
http://lacda.com/upload.html

GALLERY STATEMENT: “Every year for 50 years the L.A. Municipal Gallery has held its ‘Open Call’ exhibit where any artist can show up with their art and an entry fee (to benefit gallery programs) and the piece is shown. The Los Angeles Center For Digital Art decided to launch an international experiment of the same nature where the artists upload images that are printed and hung by the gallery.

“The hundreds of works are displayed in a grid like installation (reminiscent of postcard art shows of the 1980’s) where every work submitted is exhibited. The usual (less than democratic) selection process where only the precious few are chosen is turned on its head in a curatorial anarchy where everyone gets to participate and the viewer is literally left to be the judge. The show represents a snapshot of a current moment in art history when digital imaging has reached the hands of the many, an age where culture belongs to the ‘mobblogers’ around the globe.

“From Thailand to Texas, amateur to academic, beautiful to banal and beyond the monumental quantity and variety of “Snap to Grid” becomes an aesthetic experience where each individual piece adds to an agglomerative effect that has a life of its own.”

BEAUTIFUL,
