CALL for PROPOSALS: Kettering Solo Show

Posted on December 29, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BITE ME

I love it when two of things I like most collide… like those old 1970s commercials about “your peanut butter on my chocolate” versus “your chocolate in my peanut butter” for Reese’s peanut butter cups. Well, it happened again this week on our little-blog-that-could. Featured Artist Amy Kollar Anderson sent a Call for Proposals for a gallery for whom she’s the coordinator. We are proud to have her as an alum and thrilled to post her Call. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Proposals for Solo Shows at the Rosewood Arts Centre from the Kettering Arts Council. There is no entry fee, but don’t procrastinate and miss the deadline! Don’t miss this opportunity…

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Pop Up Billboard Exhibit

Posted on December 28, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

WELL-WORN PATHS

I get lots of requests for restaurant recommendations. And, I think sometimes people are disappointed when I give them the stereotypical answers, but famous places are famous for a reason. For example, I would never visit New Orleans without a trip to the Cafe du Monde for beignets and cafe au lait or to Central Grocery for a muffuletta. If you “pop-in” to this next show opening, make sure to check out my favorites. Is it lunch yet?

Check out this Call for Submissions from Art Below for the Pop-Up Billboard Exhibit and Gallery Orange co-exhibit in New Orleans. The fees are huge, but you can’t ask for better exposure. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Pop Up Billboard Exhibit, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Pop-Up
Billboard Exhibit

Art Below ‘Pop Up’ is taking place in New Orleans for the month of February 2012, specially planned to co-inside with the legendary Mardi Gras which every year bring thousands of fun loving visitors to the city to join the celebrations.

As an exhibitor you will be allocated with your own billboard to display your selected artwork for 4 weeks starting January 31, 2012.

Running alongside the billboard display you will also be invited to exhibit your selected artwork as part of the Art Below ‘Pop Up’ Group Show for the month of February at Gallery Orange located in the world famous French Quarter.

There will be 2 private view events at Gallery Orange on February 4th and 18th, 2012.

NOTIFICATION: Ongoing after January 9th until spots are filled.

ENTRY FEE: The fee is £750 (approximately $1175 USD).

Editor’s note: I know this is a HUGE expense for many of you; however, if you look into the price of a billboard along any interstate (never mind this one is in the French Quarter during Mardi Gras) and you will quickly realize that this is A DEAL…IF AND ONLY IF this is the appropriate step in your career at this particular time.

JUROR: The jury process is unclear. However, my knowledge of Art Below indicates you probably can’t simply buy your way into this one.

SALES: This is a 50/50 split with Gallery Orange/Art Below for prints of your billboard image as well as original work included at the gallery portion of the exhibit.

CALL for ENTRIES: Square Inches

Posted on December 9, 2011December 9, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BUILDING BLOCKS…
of Cheese

Being aware of serving sizes sucks. It takes all the fun out of over eating. I’ve been on a lot of diets over the years, but the only thing that really works is being AWARE of what you put in your body. The serving sizes I use most often? A deck of cards is about the size of an appropriate portion of protein like fish or chicken, and a square inch is approximately 1 ounce of cheese. Moderation sucks. Moderation x 20 is a little more my speed. Let me know what you think…

Check out this Call for Entries for Square Inches of Love, a design competition, sponsored by OPeX studios and benefitting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The entry fee is cheap, and even if you don’t win an award …inbound links to your website are worth their weight in clams, folks!

Posted on November 20, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CALL for PROPOSALS: Smoking Mirrors in NYC

Posted on April 14, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PICKLES
& ICE CREAM

Some foods just go together like peanut butter & chocolate, bacon & eggs, even pretzels & mustard. But sometimes, the best pairings are a surprise like french fries & mayo or chocolate & chili. This Call combines all the drama of modern dance with the interactive nature of installation artwork–a perfect pairing. This is a great opportunity to be a part of a two-week pop up gallery in New York City.

Check out the Call for Proposals for Smoking Mirrors from Kinematic Dance and A+ Productions. No entry fee and an uber-cool concept. Don’t miss out on this one… particularly if you are interested in installation work!

*Editor’s Note: If you have ever wanted to try your hand at installations, here is a free opportunity. Remember, all they can do is say no. If they do, send me the rejection letter, and you’ll get a free entry into the $2 Art Contest. See? You win either way.

CALL for PROPOSALS:
Smoking Mirrors

Kinematik Dance and A+ Productions are soliciting proposals for exhibitions at Smoking Mirrors for Fall 2011 in New York City. Artists will collaborate with choreographers and dancers in creating an interactive, multi-sensory performance environment. Winning proposals will be sponsored for a two-week pop up gallery showing and two performance events with reception. Artistsʼ will receive exhibition opportunity, publicity, and documentation of work.

THEME: Smoking Mirrors explores how identity has become synonymous with pixilation in our fast-paced, media-driven world. How have our identities become pixilated through advanced technology and social media and which stages of fragmentation have led us to multiply ourselves? Has this shift given us more freedom and tools to define our own existence or has it, in fact, limited our capacity to simply exist?

From the invention of the mirror to the iPhone, various devices have helped us create replicas of ourselves, often blurring the lines between what is real, imaginary, and symbolic. In this event we are inspired to journey through the various stages of fragmentation to the inevitable negotiation of identity. Starting with the uninterrupted experience of wholeness we move through the detachment of the self by reflection, society, traditional media (advertising) and hypermedia (social networking).

ELIGIBILITY: Open to installation artists, set designers, multi-media and video artists, and lighting designers.

MEDIA: Smoking Mirrors is the first in a series of “Performance Design” events that incorporates dance, design and multi media arts. Part performance, part art installation, and part party, the event will include 60 minutes of dances pieces that fuse movement, technology, imagery, and the unusual use of props. Performances will take place in various areas of a created multisensory and interactive environment, through which the audience will move to view performances.

DEADLINE: May 5, 2011

ENTRY FEE: There is no entry fee.

SPONSORED BY: Kinematik Dance provides visually stimulating and provocative choreography that fuses elements of urban dance such as Hip Hop, House, Breaking and Vogue with contemporary modern dance. Through a synthesis of artistic elements such as movement, visual imagery, lighting and the unusual use of props, Kinematik reconstructs the conventional by addressing common social stereotypes and engaging audiences to rethink existing notions about urban and popular culture. Kinematik aims to vitalize the concert dance world with a fresh new perspective on the conceptual street dance movement.

A+ Productions is a multi-disciplinary production company that seeks to foster integrated, creative communities by creating a platform for dynamic collaborations between visual and performing artists. In our city (NYC) of nearly 10 million people artists too often operate autonomously and independently within their respective communities. By pairing choreographers with designers, architects, sculptors, poets, and the like, A+ promotes a more communal approach to art-making that enhances the work of each artist while making dance more visible and accessible to the general public.
