CALL for ENTRIES: Heroes Surround Us

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

SPINACH!
I want spinach

I want to plant salad greens TODAY, but my husband keeps reminding me that the snow is probably not over for the season and that it got down to 29 degrees last night. I love planting salad greens because they are so temporary. They are seeds one day and less than 6 weeks later they are on my dinner table. I can replant, or I can plant something else. This next show deals with the temporal nature of art and heroes. I love this show…

Check out this Call for Entries from the John Michael Kohler Arts Center (Sheboygan, WI) for Heroes Surround Us. There is no entry fee! I love the temporal nature of this exhibit; I love the portraiture aspect. I hope this is an exhibit for you. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Women

Posted on February 25, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

MOMMIE
dearest

I’ve never been accused of being overly maternal. However, my kid will be 14 years old soon, so I must have done something right. He now eats brussel sprouts and asparagus. Another point in my favor–well, OUR favor. It was actually my husband that spent the first 12 years of our kid’s life being the more maternal one. To hell with gender roles. Whatever works is my motto. This next Call wants your slant on being a woman. Approx. 52% of you should have a bird’s eye view of this one…

SMALL PLATE
big stomach

The natural result of my food obsession is that I have tried every diet on the planet, or so it would seem. One of the funniest (and most futile) was to use only 6″ x 6″ square plates. The thought is that you could fool your brain into thinking you had eaten a full-size plate of food while only actually consuming the smaller portion. The one problem with that plan is that I’m not that easily suggestible. Is anyone? This is the next Call is a far better use of the 6″ square. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Rochester Contemporary Art Center (RoCo) for the 6x6x2013. There is no entry fee for up to 6 submissions. This show looks great on your resume, and your work could hang side by side with celebrity artists! One of my favorite shows of the year…

CALL for ENTRIES: Virtual Delights

Posted on February 18, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

SOMETHING NEW?
not blue

There is a downside to being a long-time foodie. As the years have gone by, I don’t have as many first delights. Because the range of food I have tried (both good and bad) is so huge. I do not get the excitement and pure delight of discovering a truly unique flavor very often. The last one I can really remember is uni (sea urchin). This next Call features a new flavor of Virtual Delight. Be among the first few artists…

Butter, cheese and chocolate. Those are three of the deadly sins right? They represent Sloth, Greed and Lust respectively in my household, ha. But, what is the world without a little sin?

CALL for ENTRIES: Your Fantasy

Posted on February 13, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

ALL MUSSELS
no brains

My fantasy meal changes. Some days, mac ‘n’ cheese and moon pies take the cake. But on days like today, I would kill for a dozen wine-steamed mussels with garlic butter and fresh parsley. My husband Jon says that it seems as though I hold his adult-onset allergy to shell fish against him. Today, he might be right. But, every meal doesn’t have to be a fantasy. This next Call IS all about the fantasy of it all. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Working It Out

Posted on February 12, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

CHOCOLATE
surprise

I am addicted to chocolate. And, I mistakenly assume that if it is chocolate, I will love it. Wrong. You can screw up chocolate. Milk chocolate is not my favorite version, but done well, there is a time and place for milk chocolate. But every once in a while, I am offered chocolate and it is grainy, infused with artificial flavors or so sweet that it makes my teeth hurt. It is always a reminder to mind what I put in my mouth–a warning that I assume is unnecessary for most people. This next Call could easily be assumed to be a painting call, but it isn’t. This is a great surprise…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Painting Center (NY, NY) for Working It Out, an exhibition of artists’ working drawings–generally kept private. The entry fee is standard, but this opportunity is extraordinary. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Working It Out, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Working It Out

The Painting Center, a gallery in the heart of Chelsea, announces a call for entries for its upcoming juried exhibition entitled WORKING IT OUT, running from June 18th to July 13th, 2013.

Artists of all disciplines begin their creative process with preparatory drawings. This enables visual problem solving throughout the execution of an artwork that is both fluid and beautiful. Drawing can be an exploration of materials, mark making, the emotional tenor of a piece, compositional arrangements or color. Working drawings are the visual manifestation of a work in progress; a working idea. Typically, this work is not seen by the public.

These are private musings that reflect thought processes. They are, by definition, incomplete. This exhibition will allow the viewer to see the private world of the artist’s creative process.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Artists working in all media are encouraged to submit their working drawings.

DEADLINE: April 15, 2013

NOTIFICATION: April 25, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 5

CALL for ENTRIES: Surrounded

Posted on February 3, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

MOOOO-VE
over

I’m not a huge fan of buffet restaurants. I understand why people hosting large parties prefer buffets, but I choose NOT to go to buffet restaurants because I prefer not to be surrounded by people. And, not all food should be held at the same temp. I don’t like being part of the herd. Luckily, this next Call is about art and not food because it is a bit like a buffet style show. As I mentioned, sometimes it just works. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from the new Roman Susan Gallery (Chicago, IL) for Surrounded Salon. I LOVE salon-style–the sensory overload of floor to ceiling work and disparate styles and techniques hanging side by side. Give it a try…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mayhem

Posted on February 1, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

THE POPCORN
fiasco

I recently reclaimed my kitchen. Lately, the time I spend outside of my home office, art and music studios is greatly reduced, and now I handle almost ALL of the cooking again. I’m loving it, but I have become SO territorial. My husband can make popcorn, and it looks like someone has been killing zombies. And why, pray tell, if the dishwasher is empty can the dirty dishes not go there instead of on the counter? Deep breaths; I digress. This next Call is all about Mayhem; Send them your best…
