REMINDER: The Art of Photography

Posted on June 21, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

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…

CALL for ENTRIES: Illusion

Posted on May 2, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

SURPRISE ME,
please

Rustic food is all the rage. Country tarts offer simple ingredients in a simple package. But I am still a sucker for elaborately top-crusted pies. A beautiful lattice can hide the simplest of ingredients. One of the best confections I ever ate looked like a simple pecan pie but turned out to be filled with a fudge and coconut concoction that I can still conjure in my head by simply closing my eyes. This next call wants your illusion, be it simple or complex. Take this chance…

PAPER
COOKIES?

In one of my fantasy lives, I am a cake, cookie and pastry decorator. I know it isn’t going to happen, but it is a great day dream. I am intrigued by edible printing paper, but I’ll leave using it to the professionals. These German-made Qkies would be a great promotional item for AAAD.

CALL for ENTRIES: Secrets and Mysteries

Posted on April 21, 2012April 21, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

SURPRISE
me

I love the art of the secret ingredient. I long to have someone taste a dish I have created and wonder, “What IS that flavor?” I like it when you take a completely ordinary dish like mashed potatoes and add an unexpected dash of dry mustard that leaves people wondering. It is food that creates its own dinner conversation–the ultimate compliment. This next Call wants to see your your audience ponder the mysteries of your work. Can you stump them?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Secrets and Mysteries. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($20), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. 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!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Secrets and Mysteries

If your audience is standing indefinitely motionless, entranced by the possibilities in your work and in devising an infinitude of scenarios and alternate endings, then you’ve made an image that will inspire gallery visitors with the beauty of ambiguity, mystery and perplexity.

Photographers created images that baffled the viewer as early at the 1860s; Henry Peach Robinson was a pioneer of combination printing, creating the illusory photo montage long before there was Photoshop. Darkroom Gallery wants to see your images that lead the imagination to the edge, encouraging the mind to leap. Multiple exposures, constructions, staged, anything goes, just leave them guessing.

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

CALL for ENTRIES: Portfolio Show

Posted on April 20, 2012April 20, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

BRUNCH
tells all

I don’t cook a lot. I feel confined by cooking a specific meal for the same audience day in and day out. So, my husband does most of the cooking. But, brunch is a different story. Typically if we are cooking brunch (as opposed to dining out), we have guests over in celebration. Plus, brunch offers an opportunity to show of skills and creations that span breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert–my whole portfolio, if you will. This next call wants to see YOUR whole portfolio. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for The Portfolio Show from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry is high compared to what I normally published, but I want you to make the decision about value to your own career. If the shoe fits…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Portfolio Show

Every photograph tells a story. When part of a body of work, the photograph takes on a new meaning, becoming part of a bigger and more complete narrative. A portfolio allows the photographer to explore the complexities of their subject, and provide context that gives it richness and meaning that is more than the sum of its parts. The Kiernan Gallery is pleased to announce its first annual portfolio showcase.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE: April 26, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Artists will be notified of accepted work via email approximately eight days after the submission deadline.

ENTRY FEE: Non-refundable fee of $75

Dan has exhibited widely and has received several awards, including an Artist’s Fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts in 1994. He is also the subject of a recent documentary by Anthropy Arts. He is represented by the Catherine Edelman Gallery in Chicago, Daniel Cooney Fine Art in New York and Jackson Fine Arts in Atlanta. He lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

AWARDS: Eight photographers will be selected for the exhibition, split into two shows. Four will show at a time. The first four will show from June 6 – July 14, the other four will show from July 18 – August 25 (groups to be determined by the gallery).

SALES: Artists exhibiting at the gallery may offer their work for sale. The Kiernan Gallery retains 30% of the sale price as commission.
