CALL for ENTRIES: Opulent Mobility

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

the lazy
GOURMET

I had another Jetsons dream. This one involved me in my futuristic kitchen that was equipped with completely mobile gadgetry. I could sit or stand in one place and everything would come to me as I needed it just by thinking it. Is it telling that I even dream about my own laziness? Maybe instead of my laziness, it was just a premonition of a design for this next Call. So cool…

Check out this Call for Entries from Dreams by Machine (Ventura, CA) for Opulent Mobility. I rarely get to describe a Call as unique and even more rarely get to publish that there is no entry fee; but, this Call is both. Don’t miss this winning combination…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Opulent Mobility

If you could have a walker, a wheelchair, crutches, prosthetic arm/leg/etc. or a home/workplace with unlimited accessibility of any style and any kind, what would that look like? What secret powers would they have? How do you re*imagine mobility and disability?

Opulent Mobility is a juried gallery show devoted to re-imagining mobility and disability. It will be held at the Bell Arts Factory in Ventura, CA from September 6-8, 2013, opening on their popular First Friday. The gallery is beautifully designed for wheelchair and walker accessibility.

They are looking for 2D art that helps start a conversation about what works and what doesn’t in mobility and disability devices, designs and everyday living.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Drawings, paintings, digital works, photography, multi-media —anything that can be hung on a wall

DEADLINE: August 19, 2013

NOTIFICATION: August 21, 2013

DAILY BREAD,
I mean yogurt

Can you imagine having the same food everyday? I have a friend that eats plain Greek yogurt with honey at approximately 10:30 am every morning. She makes her own yogurt, and I love Greek yogurt. But EVERY DAY? I read French Women Don’t Get Fat, but I still couldn’t eat it every day. This next wants to see your artwork EVERY TIME. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Picture Book Show

Posted on April 8, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

WRAP UP
a cold one

My husband usually picks out his own beer. He’s a home brewer and more than a little picky about his commercially made beer. But, on occasion, I pick up a “Pick 6” pack from the grocery store. My rule of thumb is to pick 3 beers I’ve actually seen him consume, and the other 3 I pick out based on the design of the label. No joke. Works EVERY time. If you understand beer labels, then you might also know why it is no surprise when people judge a book by its cover. This next Call is just for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from the 3×3 Magazine for the Picture Book Show. I love this show. There are phenomenal designers and illustrators who never get their due. Maybe this is the chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstraction

Posted on January 24, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

NOT THE SAME OLD
same old

My favorite restaurant added a whole new selection of side items from creamed cauliflower to spaghetti squash Parmesan. I love it when the old standard surprises you with a little refresher. This next Call is a perfect example. One of my favorite photography-specific galleries is offering their FIRST non-photographic solo show. So exciting…

Check out this Call for Entries for Spring Featured Artist – Abstraction from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, VA). The entry fee is higher than our norm, but remember…you’re gambling on a SOLO show.

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

CALL for ENTRIES:
Abstraction

Abstract art is an exploration of color, form, movement, or other intangibles that need not be wedded to a recognizable subject. Such work is limited only by the imagination. Non-figurative art, nonobjective art, and nonrepresentational art are all acceptable.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: The Kiernan Gallery seeks a body of 2D, non-photographic work that partially or fully obscure the recognizable world.

DEADLINE: February 20, 2013

NOTIFICATION: Approx. 8 days later

ENTRY FEE: 8 -10 pieces for $50

AWARDS: A one-month solo show. A feature on The Kiernan Gallery’s blog and website. An electronic show card designed and distributed by The Kiernan Gallery.

SALES: Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works. But, they DO still have incentive to sell your work. The Kiernan Gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.

PEPPER-O-MI

I vividly remember the first piece of pizza I ate. It was Totino’s (no, they aren’t a sponsor, but they should be). I thought it was the best thing I ever ate. I was around 4 years old. I still think the little cubes of pepperoni are ingenious, and I still turn to this junk food classic when I am sick. I realize it isn’t logical to crave junk food when you’re ill, but I do. Yes, I know this runs contrary to my whole foods mantra. Deal with it; I’m only human. Sometime there is nothing like a first. I’ve eaten a lot of gourmet pizza since then, but I still have the sweetest memories of the first. This next Call is an opportunity for you to be among this site’s first artists. Take a look…

HOLD THE PLASTIC
please

I suspect you already know I’ve got a little touch of the obsessive compulsive. But some days, it really rears its head. My family is trying to be greener, generally speaking, and I find it actually can be cheaper to live this way if you are careful. My newest pet peeve is people who buy one item in the produce section and feel the overwhelming need to put it in a plastic bag. You’re going to wash it and/or peel it anyway right? Why does your single lemon / lime / onion / avocado need a bag? Who designed this system. I digress. This next Call really wants the BEST in design. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Submissions from 4AV for silkscreen designs for a line of women’s graphic tees. If your design wins, you walk away with some cash as well as reproduction rights after the first printing. Investigate…

Food TV rocks. Surprised that I would say so? I didn’t think you would be, ha.
