CALL for ENTRIES: The Bicycle 2019

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the 2019 Bicycle Call from Theatre Art Galleries!

FOOD to go

I have a friend that is a competitive cyclist and one that owns a coffee cart that is powered by custom-built tricycles, meanwhile I can’t ride a bike or a trike, or at least I don’t think so.  It has been a long time since I tried.  My friend that rides long distances carries a small pack with water and snacks. I picked up the protein bars she recommended, assuming they would be of questionable taste and that the lack of TASTE would prevent me from eating them like candy bars.  FAIL.  They taste like coconut cookies — delicious.  Ahhh.  I’m trying to forgive her, ha.  

Today’s call is all about the bicycle.  I exhibited in this show last year, and the venue is beautiful.  My interpretation of bicycle was NOT literal, so I was pleased to receive an acceptance letter.  My work did not sell, but the returned work was well-packed and received in an appropriate amount of time.  The entry fee is low; there are cash awards, and the commission is standard.  I may enter again this year.  How about you?

Check out this Call for Entries from Theatre Art Galleries -TAG (High Point, NC) for The Bicycle: Art Meets Form.  $20 Entry, 40% commission & cash awards.  Take a look…

pushups POPS

I remember chasing the ice cream truck and cycling away, post chase, peeling the paper away from my treasure with both hands and trying not to crash into a parked car or a jay-walking pedestrian.  In my current neighborhood, the roads are only two lanes, the tourist traffic is crazy, and there aren’t any kids on bicycles –or ice cream trucks.  I wonder if I can still ride.  Hmmm.  This next call is all about the bicycle or cycling.  I love the memories this theme conjures…

“Sanctuary is a place, a feeling, where harmony, beauty, and stillness are shielded and allowed to flourish. A sanctuary can lift us up and make us feel big.  Or, it can shrink us down and show us humility in the face of infinity. We find sanctuary in the presence of awesomeness. It posts up in supportive communities and makes itself known when the impossible becomes reality.” –from gallery263.com

MEDIA: All media will be considered

THEME: Sanctuary. Work that explores, depicts, criticizes, or creates safe havens & sacred spaces.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Retrieval

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more from The Painting Center in Chelsea!the STOMACH knows

Beautiful food is enticing.  Culinary schools offer classes that teach presentation for a reason.  But ugly food has its place. I had lunch with a friend yesterday; she insisted I pick the restaurant.  I chose Indian food only to discover she had never eaten Indian food.  I felt the need to warn her that the food was delicious, but ugly.  Maybe ugly is a little too strong.  It looks a bit like mud on rice, but the stomach doesn’t care what food looks like..  This next call isn’t muddy, it wants to see all that is beautiful.  Take a look…
