not whine
please

I am now officially one of those old codgers that complain about the price of potatoes to the grocery cashier and bitch about the prices of soft drinks to my waitress.  Ugh.  I cannot believe I have turned into THAT person, but I have.  My Dad would be so proud.  But, I don’t feel alone due to the number of artists I listen to lament the price of entry fees.  This next Call doesn’t have one.  Woohoo!

Check out this Open Call from The Soap Factory (Minneapolis, MN). The Soap factory is looking for work for group exhibits, AND they offer installation support, travel, accommodations, and a stipend to those selected to exhibit. Did I mention NO ENTRY FEE?

for whiners

I think people drink more wine at the holidays because of all the whining.  Wine won’t stop people FROM whining, but it will certainly help you tune them out.  Bitching, when done correctly, can’t be tuned out–regardless of wine consumption.  This next Call is all about the bitching, but I suspect the wine is welcome too.  Take a look…

NIGHT CAP

Dessert wines are one of my many guilty pleasures. Biscotti is not just for dipping into your espresso. I’ll take a lovely glass of vin santo with the lingering taste of honey and apricots with a touch of cream. Keep your coffee or espresso (which traditionally comes before vin santo BTW). If you end up at the opening of the collective exhibit for this next Call, have a glass for me. Better yet, bring me a bottle of vin santo back as a souvenir…it beats a t-shirt anytime!

Check out this Call for Entries for the 7th Annual International Arte Laguna Prize for Video or Performance.

I collect food-specific dishes.  Weird, I know.  I have ceramic turtles for wasabi, three-legged lava rock bowls for salsa, futuristic pods for olives, individual berry bowls, and there will be more.  (Maybe these egg cups).  Always the proper tool for the job, you could say.  This next Call is really ALL about the collectors.  See if this one is right for you…

Here’s an interesting Call for Entries from the Sylvia White Gallery in Ventura, California for the 2013 Collectors’ Choice.  I am intrigued, this is a great opportunity for a few of you, but the challenge is in figuring out if YOUR work is something this anonymous group of collectors want.  Investigate for your self…

Learn more about the Sylvia White Gallery!JURORS:  Each art collector may select one or more pieces by artists that are not currently represented in their private collection.   Collectors’ names will be kept anonymous until the opening reception. Editor’s Note:  My assumption is these are collectors that purchase work in the Sylvia White Gallery.  Because they are anonymous, the best recommendation I have for research is to spend some time investigate the artists the gallery represents, since in theory, it is their work these collectors are purchasing–at least in part.

AWARDS:  Selected artists will participate in 2013 Collector’s Choice January 2-February 9, at Sylvia White Gallery.

SALES: Unless otherwise specified, accepted works will be considered for sale at the price indicated and 30% commission will be retained by The Sylvia White Gallery.

All the dishes in my house are white.  Okay, I have a couple of random colored pieces that I received as gifts, but even those are mostly white.  I chose white because we celebrate the food, not the plate, at my house.  It is a blank canvas–much like a blank gallery wall.  This next Call is offering you the same opportunity, but in a gallery where it counts.  Don’t chicken out, people…

Check out this Open Curatorial Call from the Allegra LaViola Gallery in Manhattan.  This is a huge opportunity if you want it to be.  I can already hear all of your excuses.  Quit it.  If you want something, you have to try or it will never come to you.  Sermon over.  Take a chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Appropriated Gender

Gender roles and alcoholic beverages are laughable.  Out of town on business this week, I was sitting in the hotel bar watching women ordering glasses of wine and brightly-colored martinis while men ordered beer and brown liquors.  Really, people?  I know I live in the South, but do we really have to fulfill this stereotype.  Kudos to the couple in the corner– he ordered a daiquiri (umbrella included), and she order a shot of something brown.  You saved my night, folks.  This next call is all about challenging notions of gender.  Take a look…

My taste buds are aging well.  I can still tell the difference between Parmesan, Romano and Asiago cheeses–even in bad grocery-store-powdered form.  And, I have fallen newly in love with beets.  My art is getting better too.  Who knew?  Well, the Haggus Society knew; that’s who.  This next Call want to prove that we all get better with age.  This is a great opportunity!

Nothing in Between

 

Last year, 2011, the Haggus Society presented the 1st annual Edges & Curves, Nothing In Between exhibition which successfully challenged the myth that older artists have little to no edge.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to any artist 40 years and older

Read the Full Call from The Haggus Society!MEDIA:  2D (no larger than 32″ x 44 inches), small 3D (no larger than 14″ x 10″ x 8″inches).  They are considering opening up the exhibition to performance, music, spoken word/poetry. So, feel free to send those media as submissions, too.

JUROR:  Natalie Abrams’ work examines suspending moments in time; the physical and textural experience of those moments, the delicate beauty of our surroundings and the difficulty of preserving the present.  An environmentalist, Abrams’ abstract landscapes were first exhibited at the R&F Gallery in the three person show “Not Seeing the Forest”.

Learn more about Fractured Atlas!Using a technique as fluid and unpredictable as nature itself, led to the development of her highly sculptural ribbon paintings; pieces which blur the line between painting and sculpture. The ribbon works have been exhibited in national exhibitions including the Third Annual Encaustic Invitational, as a highlighted artist at Ball State University with Encaustic Works 07, as well as the 2010 book “Encaustic & Beyond”.

Abrams’ latest work further explores humanity’s relationship to our surroundings in the form of sculptural landscapes and topography, and the mirrored societal relationships therein. Development of this work into freestanding installation works will be the focus of her upcoming Affiliate Artist Residency with the McColl Center.

SALES:  The Haggus Society receives a 40% commission from all art sold. Please include this in your pricing. If a work is not for sale please indicate with NFS.
