…and FOWL

If you can say nothing else for my taste in food, it is fair and open to all.  I will try almost any culinary invention once.  And most of them (even the bad ones) I will give a second and/or third chance.  But if you haven’t won me over after three attempts, I’m likely done.  I give art, artists and their little-known media the same respect.  This next call offers consideration for “any” media.  I wonder if they REALLY mean that.  Let me know…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 49th Annual Juried Exhibition from the Masur Museum of Art (Monroe, LA).  The entry fee is low, and the show is open to all media.  Did I mention that there is no commission on sales?   I love the Masur, and I will bet that you will love it too!

…not EAT

Boredom is cause for eating at my desk, in my car or on my couch.  I’m not saying that it is healthy behavior, but it is, in fact, MY behavior.  I suppose if my Jeep came equipped with a fridge so that I could munch on carrot stick, yogurt and other healthy goodies, it might be less of a problem.  However, I would settle for less boredom in the car.  This next call offers motorists a better view and you a possible adventure.  Take a look…

Check out this Open Call from the New York City Department of Transportation’s Urban Art program for their Barrier Beautification opportunity.  I know some of you are thinking “I don’t live in NYC.”  Well, you don’t have to, and it would pay for you to remember that you are a citizen of the world…not just your hometown.  At least take the time to investigate…

It is a happy, shiny New Year, and I am excited about the possibilities. Per usual, I am optimistic about the future… nauseatingly optimistic, according to my husband Jon.  However, most folks will also tell you that my attitude toward life is often like my taste in food…direct, unapologetic and undiplomatic. Can food be unapologetic and undiplomatic?  Absolutely. Have you ever met a cheese named Limberger? That sort of straight forwardness is what drew me to this next Call.  Investigate…

2011 ARTIST of the YEAR: Pamela Zimmerman

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!HAPPY NEW YEAR!
(kind of)

 

Today marks a New Year for ArtAndArtDeadlines.com! And, per usual, I am running a little behind the traditionally recognized New Year Celebration (December 31st), but I love Chinese New Year (yesterday).  And, I almost got this post done by then, ha!   I, of course, always appreciate an excuse to eat Chinese food…it doesn’t have to be  a holiday.

This is the day we name the
Artist of the Year for 2011.

 

When this blog began in September of 2009, I was determined to cover not only art deadlines but also really good art. And, I chose a few artists here and there. I quickly realized that the Featured Artist program needed structure, or it would never really get done on any sort of regular basis. The $2 Art Contest was born.

Learn more about 2011 Featured Artist of the Pamela Zimmerman!I began to realize that the Featured Artist Page was getting crowded and adding more artists would lessen the impact of being Featured. I knew I had to start archiving artists yearly…

And the idea of
the Artist of the Year
was born.
 

 

I now give all of our Featured Artists each year notice that on December 31st at midnight EST, the Artist of the Year would be determined by the number of comments on their individual Featured Artist blog posts.

Right out of the gate, three artists’ fans came out strong: Denee BlackDeanna Bowdish, and Pamela Zimmerman. And after a month of voting, the final count was close… only a few dozen votes separated Black, Bowdish and Zimmerman.

Pamela Zimmerman
AAAD’s 2011 Artist of the Year

I have enjoyed getting to know her this year. It feels to me like she showed a vulnerability to me, and thereby you, with her intricate, personal work.  True vulnerability is rarely seen and often imitated.

Music (and dessert) are the cherry on the proverbial sundae at any meal.  I have had the privilege of enjoying everything from a jug band at a pig pickin’ to authentic mariachi while eating tamales on a recent trip to Cozumel.  But my favorite dinner music is the humming of my lactose-intolerant 12 year old when he delights in his favorite cheesy indulgence…pizza.  This next call wants to hear about the music that delights you.  Get to humming…
