FREE ONIONS
anyone?

I have decided that it IS Spring; I don’t care what the calendar says.

CALL for ENTRIES: Paducah Photo 2013

Posted on March 7, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

PICKLES
or tamales

Did I ever tell you I looked into moving into a pickle factory? No joke. It was a part of the Paducah Artist Relocation program. I fell in love with the beams. Apparently it once housed a tamale manufacturing operation once as well. Never fear, it smelled like neither. In the end, I chose the mountains over the pickles. This next Call hails from Paducah. Don’t miss this opportunity…

HERE
piggie, piggie

I love freshly roasted pork. Roasting a whole pig is a specialty in the South. We then gather for something called a “pig pickin”, where we pick at the pig. Not kidding.

CALL for ENTRIES: Alive and Well

Posted on March 2, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

AND THE CHEESE
stands alone

Nothing can compare to hand-crafted cheeses. Whether is is fresh-pulled mozzarella or organic, farm fresh goat cheese, there is simply nothing in the world like it. The craft, although not frequently practiced, has vastly improved in the past 20 years while other big box manufacturers are creating more and more automated processes. This next Call is sort of the photography equivalent of hand-crafted cheese. Is this one for you?

Check out this Call for Entries from Brass & Bellows (Marine on St. Croix, MN) for Alive and Well, a silver gelatin emulsion photography show. The entry fee is a rare offer, and the commission is only 20%. Don’t miss this opportunity to show at Brass & Bellows…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Alive & Well

“There is a growing misconception that traditional analog photography is dying. I’m not referring to alternative process, either. I am talking SILVER GELATIN. Remember when you were little and you would see in the movies or on TV, that guy in his little red lit room, with pieces of paper hanging on lines and trays of weird liquids. My favorite was the little tongs, like gently saving something fragile from drowning in a sea of chemistry.

“Or, recall the first thrill of watching an image appear on a blank sheet of paper, soaked in that secret solution that brought the image to life as if it had been drawn with magic ink, and you alone knew the spell to free it. Oh no, traditional photography is far from dying, in fact, silver gelatin has seen very interesting things happen to it, perhaps spurred on by the sense of freedom and experimentation motivated by the rebirth of historic process.” — from brassandbellows.com

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography: chemigrams, lumen prints, pinholes, lith prints, straight forward B&W prints, solarography, or paper negatives (or prints from paper negs). Any subject matter is acceptable, as long as the majority of the final image in produced using silver gelatin emulsion.

DEADLINE: April 1, 2013

NOTIFICATION: 10 days after deadline

ENTRY FEE: Pay what you can. Editor’s Note: I cannot express how rare this is.

AWARDS: The gallery director will select 30 – 40 images to be included in the show.

SALES: Brass & Bellows will retain 20% commission.

REMINDER: Show Some Skin

Posted on February 27, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

DON’T BE
a chicken

Chicken skin is bizarre. I frequently buy chicken in bulk then take it home and clean it. Skinning chicken still freaks me out. Clearly, I’ll could never have married into the Alaska: The Last Frontier family. Peach skin gives me the willies too. I think it is a textural issue. Luckily, this next Call is all about skin of the non-chicken variety. The deadline is just around the corner…

CALL for ENTRIES: 24th Annual

Posted on February 26, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

JUST ADD
feathers

Tomatoes really are the showgirls of the fruit and/or veggie world. They are perfect as a sliced accompaniment to eggs for breakfast. They make the perfect lunch as tomato soup. But come night time, they dress up as the essential ingredient of the sexy Caprese salad. This next Call has nothing to do with tomatoes, or showgirls for that matter, but it does beckon from Las Vegas. To-may-to, To-mah-to…

CALL for ENTRIES: Women

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

MOMMIE
dearest

I’ve never been accused of being overly maternal. However, my kid will be 14 years old soon, so I must have done something right. He now eats brussel sprouts and asparagus. Another point in my favor–well, OUR favor. It was actually my husband that spent the first 12 years of our kid’s life being the more maternal one. To hell with gender roles. Whatever works is my motto. This next Call wants your slant on being a woman. Approx. 52% of you should have a bird’s eye view of this one…

Check out this Call to Artists for Women from the Linus Galleries (Pasadena, CA). The exhibit offers an online listing as well as the possibility for a showing in one of their brick and mortar galleries. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Open Waters

Posted on February 23, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

DON’T CROSS
the tea

I am mystified by hot tea. Sometimes I like it; sometimes I don’t. Mostly, I don’t. I think it is just years and years of habitually drinking tea cold that has made the warm version so very odd to me. But then again, sometimes I’m not that crazy about iced tea either. I think that in the end, it all comes down to the water. Good water, good tea. This next Call is all about the water. I like this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries for Open Water from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry is very reasonable, and the juror is active and easily researched through her work and her gallery. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Open Water

Water has a long history as subject matter for artists. It is revered for its beauty as well as respected and feared for its unpredictable nature.

Water carves our landscapes, making rivers and streams. It provides sustenance, recreation, and transport. Whether contained in swimming pools, bathtubs, or fountains, or freely flowing waterfalls, currents, and tides, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images of literal and metaphoric interpretations for Open Water.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA:
All photographic media are encouraged.

Jennifer Schwartz is originally from Richmond, Virginia, and has her BA from Colgate University and her MA from Georgia State University.

They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Series

Posted on February 22, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

CHICKEN
again?

I am occasionally guilty of bulk-buying. It isn’t Costco-style bulk buying, but I do get fascinated with one food staple. Then I have to figure out how many ways I can disguise the same item as different meals because I don’t have room in the freezer long term. But, many of us have been doing that with chicken for years. Am I right? If you’ve ever been fascinated with something long enough to make a whole series, then this next Call is for you. Don’t be a chicken…
