CALL for PROPOSALS: Public Art

Posted on August 22, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CHIPPING away

My son has recently decided to try to break a Guinness World Record, but he can’t figure out which one (he’s 13). It takes all the self-control to not suggest that he make the world’s largest chocolate chip cookie. This next call will resort in only a 10 foot circle; I suspect that is far to small for the world’s largest cookie. Nonetheless, this is a great opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Warrensburg Arts Commission (WAC) for Public Art Design Proposals. The entry fee is cheap, and unlike many public art calls, this is not limited to sculpture. Take a closer work…

HOT!
hot!
HOT!

I have a soft spot for spicy foods. I regularly tell the folks at my favorite Thai restaurant that it isn’t hot enough if my scalp isn’t glistening. My son, on the other hand, thinks all forms of peppers are the devil. Mild salsa is an adventure for him…for now. This next Call wants your take on Angels and Demons, but for the record, paintings of peppers might not be the right take on demons. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: You’ll Find this Offensive

Posted on December 19, 2011December 17, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

NO FINGER LICKIN’

I learned table manners in “finishing” class. No, I am not kidding. I went to a southern, Protestant private school through sixth grade. All 5th grade girls took “finishing class” in which we learned posture by walking with books on our heads. We learned that our waist should be 10″ smaller than our bust and hips. And we learned both how to set a table and how to behave while sitting at the table. No really, I’m not kidding. And while I have clearly let go of the 10″-smaller-than-my-bust-and-hips lesson, I still find bad table manners offensive. This next show is looking for something a little more extreme, I suspect. Whatcha got, folks?

CALL for ENTRIES: Naturalist Art Show

Posted on April 8, 2011April 8, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

LONGHORN?

Just the other day, I admitted my food stereotypes about Phoenix. I’ll continue today with Texan food stereotypes. I think steak or Tex-Mex. All things Mexican or Spanish, right? I never thought of chicken fried steak. Chicken fried steak is considered German, a derivative of Wiener Schnitzel, a veal steak deep-fried in a breadcrumb batter. In chicken fried steak, beef scraps are used and beaten into steak form. A milk-based cream gravy is almost always served with chicken fried steak too. Yes, folks…Welcome to Texas. Okay, I did my research on Texas. This next call will require you to do a little Texas research as well before creating your artwork. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Catawampus

Posted on March 25, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

UMMY–YUMMY

I am not a fan of baby talk. I don’t like it when adults talk to children in that voice and I certain don’t like to hear grown women use that tone. However, as an adult, I seem to have developed a Suess-ian fondness for making up words where there is no need outside of making them rhyme. I have not excuse. None. And, I’m thinking that my unnecessarily made up, substitute name for fried chicken, “chicky wicky” (yes, I wish I were kidding) will not make it into the dictionary as some verbal creation inevitably do–like the name of this show.

CALL for ENTRIES: Viridian 22nd International

Posted on March 7, 2011March 7, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED

My kitchen cupboard is like the United Nations of spice racks. I love challenging my taste buds by experimenting with tastes and flavors that have not been a natural part of my cultural experience. As you know, I live in the Great Smoky Mountains where Thai food is considered a really exotic experience… so I value my trips to larger metropolitan areas for food variety alone. Is it wrong that I want to enter this next show just so I might be able to grab some Ethiopian food on the way to the opening? I don’t think so either.

Check out this Call for Entries for the 22nd Annual International Juried Competition from Viridian Artists, Inc. The entry fee is a little high, but the results could be a large number of your pieces in a time-honored exhibit in New York City. Take a look…

DIPLOMACY STINKS

It is a happy, shiny New Year, and I am excited about the possibilities. Per usual, I am optimistic about the future… nauseatingly optimistic, according to my husband Jon. However, most folks will also tell you that my attitude toward life is often like my taste in food…direct, unapologetic and undiplomatic. Can food be unapologetic and undiplomatic?

CALL for ENTRIES: Scroll Bowl V

Posted on November 21, 2010November 21, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

BOWLING FOR SCROLLS

I’m told the Super Bowl is in January. I say, “I’m told” because a football would have to hit me square between the eyes to make me aware of when the season begins or ends for any sport. Yep, I’m just not that girl. Interestingly enough, the idea of the Super Bowl does conjure image of very specific foods for me despite the fact that I’ve never been to a Super Bowl party. Hmmmm… Chicken Wings anyone?

This next Call for Entries is for the Scroll Bowl V sponsored by Magazine 22. The only similarity between this Call for the Scroll Bowl V and the Super Bowl? They are both in January and both have Bowl in the name, but I had to start somewhere, eh? *Editor’s note: 4 hours after this post went live, the venue and date changed. See edits below noted in green italics…

CALL for ENTRIES: Scroll Bowl V

SCROLL BOWL V will be the featured event at The 22 Magazine Launch Party, on April 2nd, 2011. Harnessing the ancient power of scroll storytelling, some of world’s finest creators gather to show off their work on large and small rolls of parchment. Scroll art is one of the oldest forms of storytelling, and the folks at The 22 Magazine want to make the experience of viewing a scroll more accessible to everyday life.

MEDIA: There are many different ways to approach art on scrolls, and they ask artists to push those limits-linear storytelling to abstract ideas.

Larger format works are shown on their huge SCROLLIE VIEWER, but they also appreciate smaller format or long scrolls that hang on the wall. Solo, group collaborations, video or performance pieces are acceptable. How each artist attacks the “page” is what makes these events fun.

WHERE: The Scroll Bowl V will take place at Frost Street Art Space in Williamsburg (Brooklyn), an exciting new gallery and screening venue that provides live online streaming of events! Click here for videos of the space.

From the organizers: “What this [change of venue] means for the artists is 1) A week long show instead of one night 2) documentation of the actual event via 4-7 installed cameras 3) live streaming of the event online and 4) more space and much nicer venue. ”

HOW TO SUBMIT: All submissions (in the form of images or links) can be sent to the22magazine@gmail.com. Please put “SCROLL BOWL SUBMISSION” in the subject line.

DEADLINE: December 30, 2010 or until the show is full. New deadline March 16, 2011.

ELIGIBILITY: Artists in any location are welcome to submit. Although they cannot fund anyone’s travel expenses, the folks at The 22 Magazine will be happy to present your scroll for you if you cannot make it to the event.
