CALL for ENTRIES: Miami Edition

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Miami Edition of Create Magazine!CHOCOLATE hot or cold

Last week I was in a restaurant with a gift shop, and I complained during the entire meal about Christmas decorations being out & available for sale in September.  Then on Monday, the tail end of Irma brought us 55° temperatures and rain.  Suddenly I couldn’t stop humming “Silver Bells” & craving hot chocolate.  I’ve got to get to a warmer climate before my family makes me sleep in the car, ha.  The magazine in this next Call will be distributed in Miami.  Maybe I should volunteer…

Fall is just around the corner and potted mums in gorgeous yellows, golds, and umbers abound.  But, I am on the hunt for marigolds that haven’t been sprayed with insecticide to add to our Fall menu.  Yes, I like to eat flowers, and yes, I recommend you try both chrysanthemums and marigolds.  If you’ve eaten broccoli or cauliflower, you’ve eaten already eaten flowers.  Marigolds are, in fact, one-half of the curatorial theme for this next Call as well.  Take a look…

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Open to all media

THEME:  Marigolds & Monarchs. “A belief held by people from ancient Mesoamerican cultures (and some people today) is that, during the celebrations of the Day of the Dead, the spirits of the departed are given permission to return to the world of the living to visit their families. . . To aid the spirits, paths are marked with the brightly colored petals of marigold flowers so that they can create a path of light that shows the departed souls the way to the altars and their loved ones. The monarch butterflies, migrating back in large numbers to Mexico during the festivities of the Day of the Dead, have a symbolic significance as well because they are perceived as the spirits of returning loved ones making their way back home.”

I have never been a big fan of rice. As a child, I only experienced rice as white, short grain & topped with copious amounts of brown gravy.  When put up against the family of starches, including potatoes and pasta, rice has always paled in comparison.  But lately, I have a newfound respect for the subtleties.  Available in a rainbow of hues, this delicate grain makes the best of additions from tomatoes & cumin to mango & orange juice.  Rice has emerged as one of my favorites.  This next Call seeks emerging artists.  Are you emerging? Show your stuff.

I am eating ALL of the mushrooms.  There is this funny phenomenon where I live.  The grocer stocks lots of high-end perishables just before a holiday weekend in the hopes that tourists visiting our area will buy them at inflated prices.  However, when this doesn’t happen, they all go on clearance or closeout the next day.  The post Labor Day mushroom sale is ON.  Every imaginable shape & variety is available for the same price as a button mushroom.  I want them all.  This next Call is for the artist that wants it all in a solo show –space, time & funding.  Take a look…

Restaurant wait times make me testy, and if I’m “hangry”, you’d better hope the kitchen isn’t in the weeds.  I have a handful of standard distraction techniques, but my favorite is the restaurant with paper cover tables to draw on.  It never fails that my artistic genius strikes when the only materials on hand are roll paper & crayons.  Let’s call them oil pastels, shall we?  This next Call wants your best drawing.  Show ’em what you’ve got…

“I want my paintings to find the naive child & deep down belly laugh that lives inside every person . . .” —Jenn Ashton

•

I have picked up the paintbrush again for the first time in many years in preparation for the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. I had forgotten how physically taxing & the nature of focus that it requires of me. As a result, my work tends to be very serious. I have such respect for artists that bring forth joy on canvas and paper.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Jenn Ashton aspires to find the belly laugh.  Today, on this day, in this week, month & year, in this decade, I find painting with joy & laughter is among the most noble of pursuits. Thanks, Jenn.

“Perhaps we never know someone until we see them
in love, despair or in danger.” —Sima Schloss

•

At times I feel my life is laid bare before the world.  Because I don’t have faith in the existence of privacy and an excessive desire to control my surroundings, I have beaten everyone to the punch. I have revealed almost everything to be known about me.  Those few crumbs I have kept for myself are dark corners best left unexamined by most. But if Sima Schloss, today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, is right about love, despair & danger, I have nowhere to hide.  I am oddly relieved.  What are you not trying to hide?

Have you ever looked at a menu so many times that you quit seeing the obvious offerings?  I get stuck in a rut with menus, ordering the same thing over & over again.  Last week I was standing in my favorite Chinese take-out staring at the back-lit menu when steamed dumplings appeared to me as though they had never been there before. How have I overlooked them for months & months?  This next Call is all about the moments surrounding the pose, the overlooked genius.  What are they missing?

“I’m a huge believer that we often overlook the potential that is right in front of us. This might be because we’re trained by society to focus on what it thinks is important and separate out everything else.  We’re constantly required to go through this kind of exercise in our daily lives and become so used to it that we might be inclined to carry it over to our photography as well. A good example is the posed photograph . . . What about the moments building up to and after the shot.  Don’t these tell an interesting story as well?” –from Jeff Alu via laphotocurator.com

AWARDS:  The curator chooses 1st place, 2nd place & 3 honorable mentions. The 1st place winner will receive a review by one or more curators including a Q&A about the photographer’s work.
