CALL for ENTRIES: Art & Earth 2014

Posted on February 3, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

for the love of
FRESH SPINACH

My local farmers’ market does not open until the beginning of MAY. The fact that I am craving fresh, local produce already does not bode well for me. Once I start craving fresh produce, my ability to put up with frozen produce lessens so I end up with an even narrower range of veggies to eat. Sustainable farming is a true art with a connection to the Earth, and this next Call is looking for YOUR art that is connected to the Earth. This one might just be for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from Berkeley Arts Council (Martinsburg, WV) for the 4th Annual Art & Earth Exhibit. The entry fee is only $25. It is open to any visual media, and commission is only 30%. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Social Justice

Posted on December 21, 2013December 21, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

DREAMS
unsquashed

I don’t really have any major meals to cook during the holidays. My mother-in-law traditionally makes homemade sloppy joes for Christmas Eve, and my mother cooks a ham and sweet potato cassarole. Normally I will make a green veggie, but other than that, I’m off the hook. My mother is 72 years old. How long do you think the “I’ll bring the zucchini” line is going to work? Mmmhmm. I see massive meal preparation in my near future too–it’s only fair. But for all the injustices in our creative lives, there is always this next Call…

Check out this Call for Artist Stories: A Social Justice Project. There is no entry fee, and currently, there is no deadline. It is just a way for you to share your stories about being a working artist. Maybe together we can come up with solutions…

Call for
Artist Stories:
A Social Justice Project

“Despite the flippancy with which starving artist mythology is handled, creative people are legitimately at risk for many social issues. For example, did you know that there are more uninsured artists than there are among people in the general population?

“We creative people need to combine our efforts and creative gifts to develop sustainable art careers. By posting our written works and short videos that detail our stories, we can create awareness about what it really means to live a creative life.” — taken from Artist Stories blog site

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Stories are to be written or via video, but artists can be from any medium

DEADLINE: None, at the moment

NOTIFICATION: This project is inclusive, not exclusive

ENTRY FEE: None

REMINDER: Mono No Aware

Posted on October 25, 2013October 25, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

A CLEAN
start

I am moving temporarily. In addition to being musicians, my husband and I renovate houses for resale; however, we haven’t owned our own home in about 10 years. We have finally decided to buy or build. But in the meantime, our current rental has turned into a haven for mold & mildew. So, we’re starting fresh in a new, smaller house (& smaller kitchen). It would be so much easier if someone would just find and renovate a house for me for free, eh? I am always the dreamer. But, this next Call really IS FREE, and it isn’t a dream. This isn’t just for filmmakers…

Check out this Call for Entries for Mono No Aware. This is a really cool FREE way to stretch your creative streak even if film is not your normal media. Be sure to investigate this one…

REMINDER:
Mono No Aware

Film & video have become easily accessible. One can watch content on a website, television, a home projector, or even a cell phone. For some artists and filmmakers those vehicles are copies of the original artwork, each one degraded by its format. MNA believes there is a magic in seeing the film projected as a print. There is a presence a poet has reading his/her own writing. There is a feeling that resonates in your chest when seeing a band live. For these reasons MNA encourages live music, performance and audio to expand the cinematic experience beyond the screen. MNA asks that in the spirit of the festival you not video or create copies of your performance. Some participants have gone as far as to destroy the work after its first run at the event.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Contemporary art that incorporates Super 8mm, 16mm, 35mm or altered light projections as part of a sculpture, installation, dance, or expanded cinema performance. Submissions including digital projections will not be considered (i.e. HDcam, DigiBETA, DVcam, DVD) all moving images should be from an analog source.

DEADLINE: October 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: Nov. 15, 2013

ENTRY FEE: None. They believe that your time and effort are fee enough. But, if you would like your film and materials sent back to you it is necessary to include a self-addressed stamped envelope with enough postage to get your items from Brooklyn, NY. (11211 zip code) back to your mailing address.

table for 3500
PLEASE

I’ve had a few jobs and a few careers. One that I loved more than most was as a Downtown Development Director. I believed in the tiny town; I believe in urban renewal in rural locations (pop. 3500). Alas, my time there was shortened to a mere 3 years. I’ve never admitted this before, but part of my impatience with the development process was my inability to attract new, exciting food opportunities. Really. This next Call is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of making ART the answer. Please investigate this FANTASTIC opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Annmarie Small Works

ONE + ONE
equal six

I used to be addicted to “snack size,” pre-portioned foods. I thought they were the perfect solution to my portioning problem. However, I learned that the innocent little packages led me to eating multiples. Plus, the extra packaging and cost don’t sit well either. So, I’m back to counting cheese puffs and Fritos® again. Let’s hope the small size of the artwork for the next Call creates a feed frenzy too. Check it out…

MUM’S
the word

Yellow mustard is a staple of the Southern refrigerator, but it doesn’t appear in mine. I love mustard, but the older I get the more I appreciate pungent flavors. And well, yellow mustard doesn’t, well, cut the mustard anymore. That’s right, folks, I’m a rebel. You’ll only find Dijon mustard in my house. Don’t tell anyone; they’ll force me to the other side of the Mason-Dixon line if you do. This next Call involves it’s own sort of rebellion. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Off the Street

Public.

Rebellious.

Anonymous.

Elusive.

These qualities come with the territory of Street Art. However, a growing trend to display such artwork in gallery spaces necessarily obfuscates these seemingly essential features of the art form.

The upcoming exhibit at ARTs East New York explores a complicated question: What is left of Street Art once it’s taken off the street? Off the Street will feature works that are more than just gallery-ready replications of artwork on the street, but are instead explorations extending the space of the “street” from the physical to the conceptual.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA:
All media

DEADLINE:
March 1, 2013

NOTIFICATION:
mid March

ENTRY FEE: None

SALES: ARTs East New York will charge a 10% commission fee.

CITRUS
power

Never underestimate the power of food. Grapefruit is now known to interfere with over 70 medications, and many antibiotics have warnings about orange juice. And I am certain that somewhere there are geneticists trying to modify both of these fruits to fix the problem–which is scary, but I digress. The world is your buffet, but you have to make your choices carefully. This next Call looks like a good call to me. But, take a look for yourself…

CALL ME
a chicken

I am obsessed with food because I love the TASTE of food. I am not into eating foods for the sake of saying that I have eaten them. Century eggs are a perfect example. I cannot think of a reason to eat a 100-year-old egg that has been preserved in clay, ash and lime. Telling me that the yolk has the smell of sulfur and ammonia does not make me any more likely to want to eat it. Someone else already has a job eating Bizarre Foods, so I’ll pass. This next Call is a much better way to celebrate 100 years. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from LULA Lake Worth Arts for the Global Mail Art Exhibition in celebration of Lake Worth Florida’s Centennial Celebration. This is an all-hung show that might help some of you pad your resumes. Plus, mail art is fun. I love to see what I can get the US Postal system to take….

Decorated envelopes are one-of-a-kind artworks with the handwritten address becoming part of the work. Please join LULA and send a decorated envelope as we celebrate Lake Worth’s Centennial.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Mail art. Please use hand-executed lettering to address your envelope. You may use paint, ink, colored pencil, rubber stamps, or other standard media for illustrations on your envelope.

DEADLINE: November 15, 2013 (This is not a typo, folks. The deadline is over a year away!)

NOTIFICATION: Sign your envelope in the bottom right hand corner on back and include your email address and they will notify you of it’s arrival.

JURY: None (all hung)

AWARDS: All mail art will be exhibited throughout Downtown Lake Worth during the Centennial year and linked to the Lake Worth Centennial web site, the City of Lake Worth web site, and can be viewed on the LULA’s Global Mail Art Exhibition: Lake Worth 100 Facebook page.
