CALL to ENTRIES: Beach Comber

Posted on February 21, 2014February 21, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

LOBSTA
love

The only good reason to be on the beach is a clambake or a lobster boil, in my opinion. I’ve never been a beach kind of girl. I’ve always preferred the green leafy mountainside over the golden sands of the beach. And I’m not sure why. But I know how many of you are beach combers at heart. So, this next Call is a great opportunity to express your love of the sea in virtually any media or size. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Beach Comber Art. $25 to enter up to 4 images. I simply love this venue…

Beach Comber Art

This exhibit is concerned with the discoveries that artists make at the seaside. How do the sounds, tides, colors, and textures inspire artistic expression? How does the sea affect the content, mood, and execution of works of art? Are you, as an artist, mesmerized by the sea? Do you pick up bits and pieces of things at the beach and take them home? Do you incorporate found objects from the beach into your art? If your work explores these and other complementary issues, the jury invites you to submit your work to this show. The goal is to create a rich and textured exploration of our relationship to the seaside.

MEDIA:All media types are welcome; small to large scale;indoors & outdoors.

CALL for ENTRIES: Scapes

Posted on February 20, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

you are the
APPLE
of my eye

One of my favorite places on the planet is my local apple orchard. The landscape is made of meandering rows of trees as far as the eye can see in each direction. More types of apple than I even knew existed can be found from be green perfection of the Granny Smith to the dark and cloudy pungency of the October Black. This next Call wants to know about your favorite scape, be it land, city, sea, or in your mind. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: In the Abstract

Posted on February 18, 2014February 18, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

don’t make me
bring the
MIXER

I am no longer fascinated by deconstructed food. I’ll admit that for a while there, it seemed like an art to be served a deconstructed Caesar salad, but I’m over it. If I wanted deconstructed food, couldn’t I just partially create dishes at home and save myself both the extra preparation of making the completed meal and save the trip to the restaurant? I am just uncertain that abstraction has a place in my diet. So, let’s keep abstraction on the wall like in this next Call, okay? Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for In the Abstract from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, VA). The entry fee is ALWAYS reasonable at this gallery, and you know how I LOVE this gallery…

CALL for ENTRIES:
In the Abstract

Abstract photography explores color, movement, form, and other intangibles that are not dependent on a recognizable subject. The medium of photography has a unique ability to reproduce with precision and clarity, the world as we see it. Abstract photography deconstructs our world, resulting in new and surprising interpretations. Graphic elements without context, long exposures, blurred subjects, and extreme close-ups are a few of the ways that photographers manipulate their subjects in an abstract manner. These works are limited only by imagination.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Non-representational Photography

DEADLINE:
March 21, 2014

NOTIFICATION:
Approx. 8 days later

ENTRY FEE:
5 for $25, each add’l $5

CALL for ENTRIES: Magic

ONIONS
say oui, oui, oui
all the way home

Sherry is a magical ingredient. I’m not a fan of the aperitif, but you’ll always find sherry in my cupboard. All of it smells like fingernail polish remover to me, so I’ve just give in and started buying the salt-fortified cooking version. Why is it magical, you ask? Sherry is what makes french onion soup taste like french onion soup. Trust me on this one. It smells horrible when I de-glaze the pan while caramelizing onions, but the flavor afterward is, well, magical. This next Call is meant to magical as well. Great theme…

CALL for ENTRIES: JF Small Works

picking a peck of
PEPPER
grinders

I have lost track of the number of pepper mills I have owned. The best one I ever owned featured one-handed operation. It eventually broke after being dropped one too many times, and I could never find the same one again. The dilemma is that they either grind the pepper too fine or too coarse, and the adjusters never turn quite far enough. Ground too finely, pepper will dominate the flavor of any meal. Ground too coarsely, peppercorns will give your guests a crunchy, spicy surprise in the middle of an otherwise well-balanced meal. It is all about the size. So is this next Call. Take a look…

a mixed bag of
GROCERIES

I loosely plan a weekly menu each week by making sure there are at least seven proteins, seven green vegetables and a handful of starches available in the kitchen. From those offerings, I try to make every week different. But, since the proteins are almost always a couple of versions of same pork, beef, chicken and/or fish, making 52 different menus a year is a stretch. And, I might add that there are only so many ways to prepare zucchini & broccoli. But this next Call is the 52nd time this Call has been offered, and I promise the result has been different each and every time. Maybe this is THE opportunity for you…

JUROR: Born in New York and educated at the acclaimed Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Vera Barnett moved to Texas in 1985. She began using pool toys as still life subjects, but felt a desire for more emotional and personal subjects. Her solution was to create her own models from sewn plastic. Barnett’s process yields paintings injected with emotions that are authentically human, yet fabricated through completely synthetic materials.

CHEESE
off the old block

Cheese food is not cheese. You’re allowed to like American cheese; feel free. But, don’t take comfort in the idea that you are eating a natural cheese. It is manufactured from milk, whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, saturated oils; emulsifiers, salt & artificial coloring–and that’s assuming you aren’t consuming a diet variety. Think of it this way…if the cheese can’t stand alone, then maybe it shouldn’t have the spotlight in any of your meals. This next Call is looking for a big cheese (or six) to put in the spotlight. Are you a big cheese?

Check out this Call for Entries from Penn State Altoona (Altoona, PA) for the Ivyside Juried Art Competition for solo shows at the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts. The entry fee is only $10 for up to 24 images. This is a great academic opportunity at a really low price!

COOKIES, CANDY

oh my

I have dessert after every meal. There, I admit it. I have bre-ssert (usually fruit or chocolate BR-eakfast), le-ssert (often cookies or candy after L-unch), and dessert (cheesecake & chocolate torte are my favorites). Everyday. I’m not into self-deprivation, and I consider dessert a sort of punctuation after meal production. This next Call features an opportunity for art publication, a sort of punctuation after art production. It can be a very useful tool to advancing your art career. Investigate this one to see if it is a fit for you…
