CALL for ENTRIES: Fall Into Maritime

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

FAN-taff-STIC

I love salt water taffy. I love the taste and the colors and the main street feel of the shops that allow you to look on as the taffy is hand-crafted. Funny enough, most of the towns that conjure images of salt water taffy for me are no where near the coast. Odd. I wonder if the town from which this next Call hails has a salt water taffy shop? If you get into the show, let me know.

Check out this Call for Entries from The Gallery at Firehouse Square in New London, Connecticut for the Fall into Maritime exhibit. Enter up to 10 images for only $25 and only 35% commission. Can’t ask for more…

always hold a “salt water” flavor.

CALL for ENTRIES: Art of the Plains 2011

Posted on May 22, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BEIGE NO LONGER

When people hear “American Food” they think of a homogenous buffet of beige food, but American food is a great quilt of influences from around the world. For example, New Mexican Cuisine is also very different than the preferred Tex-Mex style of Mexican-American food in Texas and Arizona. One of its most defining characteristics is the dominance of the New Mexican chile—in red and green varieties, depending on the stage of ripeness when picked. Other distinctive elements include blue corn, the stacked enchilada, and sopapillas into which honey is added moments before eating. Eat a little for me at the opening of this next show…

Check out this Call for Entries from the American Plains Artists in Las Cruces, New Mexico for Art of the Plains 2011. All traditional media (no photography or computer generated) considered. The entry fee is $25 (plus membership), and the deadline for digital entries is June 4th. I have NEVER seen this many awards for one show EVER…

CALL for ENTRIES: Art of the Plains 2011

The American Plains Artists announce a call to artists for a juried exhibition, September 8 – October 30, 2011 at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum, Las Cruces, NM.

The maximum size for 2D work is 1564 square inches including the outside dimension of the frame. An example of that is a 24″ x 36″ artwork with a five inch frame. Sculpture would be of moderate size and not exceed 100 pounds. Artwork must represent the theme of the show: American Plains.

DEADLINE: June 4, 2011 for digital entries.

JUROR: New Mexican cowboy artist Robert “SHOOFLY” Shufelt has created graphite drawings that have become an important thread in the fabric of Western Art, earning world wide recognition. His work illuminates the bare bones of an artist’s craft and portrays the physical evidence of his perception. They are celebrations of a dreamer who has allowed his dream to become reality with all its grit and honesty, yet he still finds the work endlessly nteresting and satisfying. He has an artist’s vision of cowboys as they can only be around another cowboy, unposed and unself-conscious. They are men who practice their vision of excellence in whatever they do, leaving it up to the rest of us to determine whether they’re working or playing. These disciples of the “cowboy way” are Shoofly’s top hands and his work is forever honored by their friendship.

AWARDS:

Best of Show $2,000.00

1st Place Award $1,000
2nd Place Award $750
3rd Place Award $500

Director’s Award – One-year Gift Subscription to Western Art & Architecture Magazine; Award of Excellence –a one-year subscription to Western Art & Architecture given by Western Art & Architecture – Ribbons presented by American Plains Artists; Publisher’s Award of Excellence – Half Page Ad sponsored by Art of the West $1,780.00 value; Publisher’s Award of Excellence – Artist’s Focus Award sponsored by Western Art Collector $2,900.00 value; Publisher’s Award of Excellence – Full Page Ad sponsored by Southwest Art $3,125.00 value; Publisher’s Award of Excellence – Full Page Ad sponsored by Western Art & Architecture $4,950.00 value; Artist’s Retreat Award – given by Our Heritage Guest Ranch, Jean Norman, Owner, Crawford, NE $600.00 value; Best Framing Award – given by Larson-Juhl & Mark Nichols, Dallas, TX – $150.00 Gift Certificate; and Fine Print Award – given by Fine Print Imaging, Fort Collins, CO $150. 00 Gift Certificate.

DAIRY ME

Remember when ice cream treats came 12 to a box? Then it was 10. Then 8. Now I pay $4.99 for a box of 6. Does that mean I’ll quit eating ice cream? Unlikely.

CALL for ENTRIES: A Sense of Place

Posted on May 11, 2011May 11, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

NUTS for YOU!

I believe that food has a sense of place. When you eat cotton candy, don’t you think of going to the fair? When I taste boiled peanuts (Yes, Virginia, they do exist), I am instantly transported to South Carolina. You have associations of your own, no doubt. This Call is named Sense of Place, but it isn’t a theme. Maybe it comes from the enormous sense of place felt even through photographs of this beautiful gallery space. Inspired yet?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art in Augusta, GA for the 2011 National Juried Exhbition: A Sense of Place.

BRIE a PAL

By the way, I cannot paint either. I have tried and tried, but the result is a canvas of muddy mess. Lately, I’ve published a lot of photo calls, and I am starting to feel the guilt of personal bias.

CALL for ENTRIES: Axis Gallery Annual Juried

Posted on April 25, 2011 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 card for The Lodge at Buckberry Creek recently, I realized there is a certain comfort in knowing the exact amount of cream and vanilla in bread pudding. There is comfort in not guessing the temperature or constantly checking the oven to see if your concoction is ready. Take comfort in the fact that the Call a well-established show with lots of room for research. Time to create your own recipe…
