Because we live 20+ minutes to the closest grocery store, it can be very frustrating to start dinner and realize we’re out of onions or potatoes or eggs or whatever.  So, we are all about menu planning at our house.  This next Call is about planning as well, but it requires your input, your participation.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from AAAD for 2016-17 Planning & Progress.  We have a lot going on, and I need your guidance an input to make sure that AAAD heads in a direction that works for all of us.  I even formatted it like our normal calls to be certain that I don’t shake up the routine too much, ha.  Keep reading…

CALL to ARTISTS:
Moving Forward from AAAD

 

Enter the Small Plates Exhibit at The Balcony in Knoxville, TN sponsored by AAAD!ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists.  You may notice that we have eliminated the Featured Artist program in an effort to publish more of the ART in our name, Art & Art Deadlines.  If you have an interest in being an Artist of the Day, we want to hear from you!  Look in the juror section for an add’l bonus!

MEDIA:  Are we including all the media Calls you want?  Am I missing something?  Am I under-representing your media?  Please tell me.  I largely post at the request of jurors and gallerists, so sometimes I unintentionally wear blinders.

DEADLINE:  April 18, 2016.  AAAD has a #smallworks (9×12 or smaller) Call out with an April 18th deadline, SMALL PLATES: A Response to Hunger.  $5 Entry & open to prints. Please enter so that we can provide more show opportunities in the future!

NOTIFICATION:  Now.  Tell me what you need from AAAD.  We have incorporated a lot of changes over the years based on readers’ suggestions.  And, I am open to more.  The site will undergo some dramatic aesthetic changes and alterations to the formatting of posts and subscriptions, and you can help shape that process.  The resources will remain the same, and you’re simply stuck with the food references.  But, I’m open to hearing you.  Email me, leave a comment on the post (link to comments at top) or reply to your subscription email.  Any way you wanna…

FEE:  None.  I am maintaining my commitment to NOT charge artists for use of this site. Ever.

Learn how you can help #saveERNIE!JUROR:  R.L. (Rachel) Gibson, continues to be the Editor.  Me.  Publication has been a bit sporadic lately because of events that left my family stranded in rural Virginia for a while.  Dramatic, I know.  I try not to publish personal posts often.  But you were so kind when I lost my father a few years ago, that I thought I would share.  Here’s the whole #saveERNIE story.  So many of you ask me if there is anything you can do to help out at AAAD.  There is.  Instead of paying a $5 Artist of the Day fee or the $15 Artist to Love fee, donate $10 to #saveERNIE, I will enter you for FREE in both the Artist of the Day competition & Artist to Love directory.  Plus, you have a chance to win a house concert.  Time runs out Monday, August 18th, so hurry.

SALES:  Selling art?  Yes?  YEAH!  No? Maybe I can help.  I will be travelling the country this summer giving career development seminars at Arts agencies and collectives.  If you have a ideas for someone that I should approach with seminars, including “How to Price Your Art”, “Creative Branding” & more, let me know.

AWARDS:  Brownie points.  I have millions of “brownie points” up for grabs.  You know you want them.  It is easy to get them.  Choose from one or ALL of these methods:

  • Subscribe to our FREE email (top right sidebar)
  • Like Us on Facebook.  Subscribe to Notification for double points.
  • Follow us on Twitter.  Regularly RT for triple points
  • Talk to that one friend that needs motivation about subscribing to AAAD.  We need friends.
  • Send me your success stories by email or comment.  I need motivation too. 🙂

Thanks for the love.

Nourishment is personal.  Salt is a perfect example.  There is no other edible substance that I can think of that is more divisive. One simple dusting of salt can define the line between edible or not for a huge range of people. Be it food or artistic inspiration, how you feed yourself has to be personal.  What else could it be?  This Call is personal for me.  I have been hungry, physically & creatively; have you?  The show is short and simple.  I have extended the deadline in an effort to include more work from more artists.  Your support will determine the growth of this opportunity. Please make it personal for you too…

Food is so personal.  A client recently asked if I had any dietary restrictions so that she could be prepared for our branding consultation that will span a lunch time.  I’m allergic to parsnips, which is rarely an issue, and wheat which is always an issue.  Always.  Her response?  We grow our own heirloom corn varietals from which we grind our own corn meal for cornbread.”  Food is PERSONAL, and this next Call couldn’t be any more personal.  Your support will determine the growth of this opportunity.  Please make it personal for you too…

Remember having “eyes bigger than your stomach”?  That was the automatic response to an overly large-portioned plate at my childhood dinner table.  It was then immediately followed by a lecture reminding me of children thought to be starving in a far away country that seemed, well, other worldly to a five year old.  The truth would have been more effective.  There were starving children in my own country, my own state, my own town, probably my own neighborhood.  I was fortunate not to want for food as a child.  But today, my eyes are always bigger than my stomach.  I always take on more than I can easily digest, gastronomically and otherwise, and yet I always find myself both hungry to pile on more–even while suffering the indigestion of my last turn at the proverbial table.  This next Call is proof.  In 2016, we are proud to be offering a buffet for all of you.  Take us up on this, the first of several dinner invitations to come…

Here at AAAD, we believed that the food metaphor is a perfect vehicle to inspire you to feed your creative self. We shun the demeaning cutesy-ness of the bohemian “starving artist” image as it numbs us to the real struggle of hunger & starvation worldwide.  Starvation, in a literal way, robs humanity of being human and ends even the possibility of a creative self. For SMALL PLATES, AAAD wants your views on hunger —physical, spiritual, political, emotional and/or creative. Food references are optional.

The SMALL PLATES will be exhibit will both open & close on May 6, 2016 as a part of the First Friday festivities at The Balcony Gallery, located in The Emporium Center in Knoxville, TN –a one-day show.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists —any age, any gender, any location.

THEME: Hunger—physical, spiritual, political, emotional or creative. Food reference optional.

MEDIA: Open to all media that will fit in a 9”x12” envelope (aka 229 mm x 305 mm or No. 10 ½), including but not limited to: painting, drawing, fiber, collage, digital, photography, graphic design, illustration, pen and ink, printmaking, etc.

DEADLINE:  April 18, 2016

NOTIFICATION:  Ongoing by April 19, 2016

AWARDS:  To assist resume building, designations of Best of Show, 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place will be awarded; however, cash prizes will NOT be awarded.  Award designations will be chosen from the physical work and will be judged based on artistic merit and interpretation of the theme.  If not chosen for the gallery exhibit, please note that at the curator’s discretion, ONE image from EVERY artist will go into the online exhibit* with a link to the artist’s website. *Editor’s note: So if you follow all the rules, you can at the very least add the online exhibit to your resume, even if you are not selected for the physical exhibit.
