CALL for ENTRIES: Travel to Italy!

Posted on October 29, 2012October 29, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CAVATAPPI
for me

Pasta makes me happy. Cavatappi is my favorite. I have a weak spot for Italian food of all sorts, actually, pasta or no pasta. But Greek food floats my boat as well. Maybe it is just the Mediterranean influence in general that I love. This next call gives you the opportunity to visit Italy. Somebody learn to hand-create all those lovely delicate pastas for me, please…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Cultural Association MoCA (Modern Contemporary Art), in collaboration with Agriturismi.it for another installment of Take a Picture and Travel. There is no entry fee, and although the intention is to promote Italy, think of it like a movie set… you don’t have to be there to capture the essence. This could be worth the chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Phone-Ography

Posted on October 5, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

FOUR-ALARM
dinner

I used to live 12″ from a firehouse in Downtown Charleston. The kitchen shared a wall with the firehouse. If there was an alarm while I was cooking dinner, I had to hang on to the pots on the stove and the glasses on the counter to prevent crashes. The gallery sponsoring this next Call has had a much better experience with firehouses. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Firehouse Art Center (Longmont, CO) for Phone-Ography. You know you have lots of cell phone pics to show. The entry fee is reasonable, and this could be a great opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: (Re)capturing Womanhood

Posted on August 18, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

girly CITRUS

I took French as my foreign language in high school. In hindsight, Spanish would have been more useful, but French turned out to be handy when my love of food emerged. I am enamored with the use of feminine and masculine nouns. Did you know that un chocolat is masculine while une orangina is feminine? Orange you glad I’m publishing this next call? Bad, I know. Forgive me…

Check out this Call for Entries for (Re)capturing Womanhood at Southern Illinois University (Carbondale, IL) then traveling, brought to you by curators Angela J. Aguayo and Stacy Jill Calvert.

PEANUTTY
goodness…

I am dumfounded by the number of times I use “I” while writing this blog. But popular opinion confirms that a certain about of narcissim is inherent in the act of blogging…period. I suppose I could start writing about the food quirks of the famous. It’s election season in the US, anyone want to talk about Jimmy Carter and peanuts? I didn’t think so. This next Call encourages a healthy dose of narcissism. Be your own muse…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for id – The Object of Self. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($20), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. The jury method for this one is a change from the norm. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show! I entered this one myself. You’ve got a little time left…don’t miss out.

CALL for ENTRIES:
id – The Object of Self

The self-portrait: Is it your compulsion? Your obsession? An impulse?

Was it out of necessity (the mandatory Photo 101 exercise, a portrait for the office newsletter, or because you needed to self-promote)? Is it the autobiographical record you decided was best told in image?

Sometimes we have to step in front of the lens – we can’t seem to communicate what we want to others, or maybe we’re just the most convenient choice for a model (the least expensive, for sure). Even if we got there by default, there is no one better able to translate our vision to the camera than ourselves. Perhaps you were experimenting with persona or striving for a personal perfection? Were you desperately seeking Self?

For those willing to dig deep and bare all, the self-portrait is a reward for your bravery – because whether you love it or hide it in the depths of your archives for decades, you’ve learned from it. Whatever your intention, there is nothing closer to an authentic portrait, than to sit both behind and in front of the lens. And whether for totally narcissistic or completely humble intents – you have to admit, it’s you.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

MEDIA:
Photography

DEADLINE:
August 22, 2012

She balances her always imperative personal imaging pursuits with a large number of commercial clients.

Cig will choose a Juror’s Choice and honorable mentions, but otherwise, it’s all YOU! Each of you who submits your self-portraits will be able to vote for up to four images (including one of yours if you’re that confident!). No anxiety here…images will be anonymous, labeled with titles and medium only if provided by their authors. You will not know who you are voting for, and your peers will not know who you voted for. Only those who make a submission will have access to vote. Though you are not required to vote, by submitting your images, you give the other submitters the right to view (and vote for) your images. The 50 to 60 images that get the most votes will be showcased in our gallery and online.

In the early 1990s, Sink was an inspirational driving force and co-founder of the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. In recent years, Sink has worked as a private art consultant in Denver, independently curating a wide range of shows.

Photography runs deep in Sink’s family heritage. Sink’s great-grandfather was photographer James L.

Even further back, Breese’s uncle— Samuel Finley Breese Morse—is known as “the father of American photography”.

PURPLE POTATO,
pomegranate

Produce is the every man’s gourmet food. I will try to avoid preaching about the cost of produce being a contributing factor to the unhealthy eating habits of people world wide, but the truth is, I spend a larger percentage of my grocery budget on fresh produce than anything else, including proteins. But if you have the desire for a gourmet treat, it doesn’t have to be thousand-dollar truffle oil or exotic sashimi-grade fish. Try a new fruit. The taste found in a pomegranate is not to be believed. Substitute a purple potato in your recipe. Buy a fresh herb plant for your kitchen window; just one will do. This next Call wants the every man’s gourmet photo–the cell phone pic. Investigate…

REMINDER:
Mobile-O-graphy

Images made with mobile phones are becoming part of the photographic mainstream. Made with a phone camera, processed on the phone and even printed from the phone, these images are showing up in exhibitions both as a genre and alongside classic silver gelatin prints. Show them your latest mobile creations.

What distinguishes mobile device photography from that made with other devices? Less and Less. Possibly the fact that you can do it all on one device is unique. Sometimes the images created with mobile devices are more candid. Having a camera with us all the time lets us capture moments that can otherwise escape. Very quickly mobile phones are becoming just another type of camera taking their place alongside pin hole cameras, toy cameras, point and shoot cameras, SLR cameras etc. Here, in the gallery, we say it over and over – it’s not the camera – it’s the photographer’s vision and skill that makes a great photograph. Last year’s mobile phone photography exhibit said it. They want this year’s exhibit to prove it.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

PARSLEY,
please

My parsley is unhappy with me. I’ve been planting a summer garden for the past week, and my husband and I are getting it done in shifts. All of the plants that aren’t in the ground yet have been fairly tolerant when given a little sun, a little shade and a lot of water–except the parsley. I love Italian flat leaf parsley. It isn’t just a garnish, folks. I can’t make chicken soup or marinara without it, but my two parsley plants are protesting having their feet off the ground. This next call has a deadline that is rapidly approaching, too. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 8th Art of Photography Show which is being held at the San Diego Art Institute this year. The cost to enter is about average; however, last year, 1700 people attended the reception, and the award are spectacular. That’s a bargain…

My little piece of the country has limited restaurant options. The Great Smoky Mountains are a phenomenal trade-off for many of the area’s flaws, but the food is a huge obstacle, so I cook. Indian and Thai food have made their way, but Greek food, alas, is still missing.
