OPEN CALL: Lux Center

Posted on May 8, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CHEAP,
not crazy

I am a culinary cheapskate, of sorts. I try to limit the cost of a home-cooked meal’s protein to $2 to $4–total, not per pound. It comes from years of having no choice; however, I have these budgetary restriction to partially thank for my culinary creativity. You try having chicken, turkey, eggs or pork 4 days in a row; it will make you creative too. Now I will still buy a lux bottle of vinegar for $15, but I have priorities, ha. This next call is for the LUX Center, but it isn’t necessarily the theme. Take a look…

Check out this Open Call from the LUX Center for the Arts (Lincoln, NE) for Exhibition Opportunities including both Solo and Group shows. There is no fee to enter, so don’t miss this opportunity!

CALL for ENTRIES: Show of Heads

Posted on May 7, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

HEADS UP

Goat heads, really? Caught a show called Extreme Cheapskates the other day just long enough to see a man by two goat heads for $7.50 total. In many parts of the world, goat heads are a common protein, and I’m not knocking it because I haven’t eaten it. My problem with the concept is that he was supposed to be an extreme cheapskate. I can buy 10 lbs. of chicken quarters for $6. Who knows. This next call won’t take hind quarters. Heads only please…

THE EVIL

I love figurative art, but I don’t want figurative food. I cannot consume anymore of the googlie-eyed chocolate bunnies or marshmallow Peeps®. And quite frankly, even Goldfish® are starting to give me creeps. Why must everything have a face? This next call wants your best figurative work. Faces optional…

Check out the Call for Entries from the Light, Space & Time Gallery for their online Figurative competition. You know that I am not a huge fan of online competitions; however, I think of this as digital publication which is always a good thing.

CALL for ENTRIES: Beyond the Border

Posted on April 28, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

TIME to
MARINATE

My favorite Mexican food is fish. Many Americans have been lulled into thinking of the local fast food taco as representative of Mexican cuisine. But you haven’t eaten truly representative food, in my opinion, until you have had authentic fish seviche marinated in citrus and chiles. This Call encourages you to capture your view of the issues that surround the Mexico border! Say it with art…

Check out the Call for Entries for Beyond the Border from the Coconino Center for the Arts in Flagstaff, AZ. The entry fee is standard, but you’re allowed to send details…even of two-dimensional work. For those of you wanting to add Arizona to your resume, this is a GREAT opportunity!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Beyond the Border

Beyond the Border addresses the human and environmental impact of issues that surround the US / Mexico border, the border wall and border policies. Artists are encouraged to submit art that explores this impact and how changing policy is affecting the environment and/or people. The intent of this exhibition is not to advocate for or against any position, policy or political figure; rather, Beyond the Border offers an opportunity for stories to be shared and questions to be raised that allow viewers to explore the consequences of intensified focus on this region.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists internationally.

MEDIA: Artists may submit work in any media, 2d or 3d. All art forms- literature, photography, video, installation, etc. – are welcome.

Raechel Running’s humanitarian and conservation work represents her five year visual odyssey through the borderlands of Chihuahua and Sonora Mexico. Her images document the history and express the surreal magic, irony and the beauty of the enduring Spirit of the Mexican people connected to the bi-national landscape and history, caught in-between worlds, and divided by border policies. Shawn Skabelund is a conceptual artist who does site specific, place-based installations exploring culture/nature issues.

AWARDS: Stipends in the amount of $250 (to cover costs associated with providing art for the exhibition) will be granted to 4 artists whose accepted entries best exemplify the spirit of Beyond the Border.

Posted on April 27, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

FOREVER 25

Just a year or so after the 25th anniversary of my birth, I began my love affair with cheese. Well, more accurately, I began working behind the counter of a gourmet cheese shop. A world that had previously been defined by cheddar, Swiss and American cheeses now suddenly included choices between cow, goat and even sheep’s milk cheeses. Sometimes 25 years is the turning point. This next call wants to see your perspective on the past 25 years’ events. Whatcha got?

HOT SUMMER
nights

Summer and a milestone birthday for me are rapidly approaching. I feel the need to throw a theme party with garden lanterns, red plaid table cloths, paper plates and a watermelon-spitting seed contest. Not your idea of summer? Maybe its a Southern thing. This next call is serving up three provoking themes. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries for June Installationz from ARTs East New York (Brooklyn, NY). There is no entry fee, and the media is NOT limited to installation art, despite the name.

CALL for ENTRIES:
June Installationz

This June, ARTs East New York is hosting a pop-up gallery tour and invites artists in all disciplines to submit work for exhibition relating to the three themes below. All three exhibitions will be part of a one-night pop-up gallery tour on June 22nd in East New York. I ART East New York will be displayed in establishments around the New Lots Triangle. Juneteeth will be showcased about the perimeter of the New Lots Library. Threadz will have a month long run at the ARTs East New York gallery.

I ART East New York: East New York might be somewhere you visit, the place where you work or the community you call home. Even if you’ve only heard about the neighborhood, we invite you to explore East New York through your art. Pieces that most creatively and positively portray the culture, character and community of this Brooklyn destination will be chosen for exhibition.

Juneteenth: A Revelation of Freedom: Juneteenth commemorates the day on which African Americans in Texas, who had been kept enslaved two and a half years past the abolition of slavery, finally received news of their freedom. For this exhibit, we are requesting works that celebrate this moment of enlightenment, pay homage to ancestors who afforded this autonomy and investigate the African diaspora at large as a legacy of liberation. Pieces that best honor and examine the legacy of the African experience in the United States will be included in this important exhibit.

Threadz: Untwining Mistaken Messages Within the Fabric of Hip Hop. The tragic murder of Trayvon Martin forces us to think seriously about perceptions of Hip Hop culture and its representations in mainstream society. The reigning image of Black youth centers on the Hip Hop aesthetic, a mode of expression that can be identified by styles of art and fashion. We ask artists to examine Hip Hop as a depiction of the urban lifestyle, its reception by the larger public and its potential for positively reflecting the African American youth experience. This exhibition is being held in honor of Trayvon Martin, and works speaking directly to this heartbreaking death, and its connection to Hip Hop, are especially encouraged.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All media

DEADLINE: May 11, 2012

NOTIFICATION: End of May

ENTRY FEE: No fee

JUROR: A committee will make the final selections for the show.

REMINDER: Soap Factory Open Call

Posted on April 17, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

LESS TALKING,
more eating…

There is a point at which loving food turns into a food obsession. I am self-aware enough to know that I have long passed that point. I cannot simply EAT anything. Eating requires dissection and discussion before digestion. Dinner is often cold by the time it is eaten fully. Likewise, I meet emerging artists simply obsessed with conquering their first solo show. This next call will require your own dissection and discussion before digestion. Bon appetite…

CALL for PROPOSALS: Solo in Vegas

Posted on March 29, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

BEADS of SILVER

Dragées remind me of Las Vegas. You know… the little candy beads, often silver, that you see decorating cakes and cupcakes. Dragées also remind me of a Martha Stewart show many moons ago when Miss Piggy was the guest star, and they made cookies decorated with “dra-geeeees,” as Miss Piggy pronounced it. But, I digress. This next call has nothing to do with Miss Piggy and everything to do with Vegas. Take a look…

I now live closer to town, and therefore, closer to food–fast food. It isn’t all evil. I succumb to McDonald’s® fries on occasion, but I also like the chipotle chicken wrap.
