CALL for ENTRIES: Topeka Competition 33

Posted on July 27, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

COFFEE anyone?

Are you a borrower or a buyer? Of books, I mean? If you haven’t been to your local library recently, be sure to stop by. Many libraries are re-inventing themselves to look much like big box book stores complete with vendors of coffee & pastries. They often also lend music, movies and even art. This next Call comes from a library with a full-fledged art gallery adjacent. This is for 3-d work only…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Friends of the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library (Topeka, KS) for Topeka Competition 33 at the Alice C. Sabatini Gallery (located within a public library). Despite its location, this is a fairly traditional gallery space & the juror’s work is masterful. Take a look…

RECIPE
for success

Everyone I know makes at least one dish that makes people ask, “How do you make that?” Mine has changed over the years from hollandaise sauce to creamed spinach to 40 spice hummus. Similarly, everyone who is in arts management or administration hears the same question, “How do I get a solo/group show in a gallery?” This next Call answers that question. Take a look…

BOOKS
for breakfast

We are all taught from an early age not to judge a book by its cover. However, nearly every cookbook in my collection got there because of an appetizing photograph on the cover. A friend that photographs food for a living told me that the looks are often achieved through under cooking, over cooking, shellac, resin and paint. What a shame that such beautiful food never gets eaten. But that knowledge does make me feel better about the ugly stuff I serve fairly regularly. This next Call wants to see your books and challenges artists of ALL media to enter. Take a look…

PEARLS
not onions

I would, on occasion, gladly work for food, but did you know that the Egyptians that built the pyramids were often paid with beer, bread and onions. I don’t think so; not this girl. As I have previously mention, I’m not a beer kinda girl, and as much as I love bread, a girl cannot live by bread and onions alone. This next Call’s fee cannot be paid in bread and onions, but it is Pyramid inspired. Investigate…

REMINDER: Open Call at Flow

A Season for…
everything

The featured food at my house this week is Jona Gold apples ($.89/lb). Last month is was asparagus ($1.99/lb). This whole month it has been apples, partly because of our proximity to an orchard, and partly due to price. We’re heading toward Winter, and I’ll be eating $1 butternut squash for at least 2 months. It is all about eating what’s in season. It is cheaper, healthier, and yummier. Think of it as a seasonal treat. This next Call is all about the upcoming season, and it’s a treat too! Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Bibliophoria – Art of the Book

Posted on April 5, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

ORANGE
YOU
GLAD?

While in Phoenix recently, I discovered that our hosts were lucky to have an orange tree in their back yard. Every morning I went out back to the sweet smell of orange blossoms and the overwhelmingly loud buzzing of bees. I am inspired by the smell and sound. I wonder if I can get an orange tree to grow in my Smoky Mountain yard? This next Call is from California — where they have no problem getting orange trees to grow either.

Check out this Call for Entries from Sebastopol Center for the Arts (in California) for Bibliophoria II. The entry fee is a little high for non-members, but you’ve gotta love book shows. Book shows are less common than you think so the risk could be worth it. Take a chance…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Bibliophoria II – Art of the Book

ELIGIBILITY: Sebastopol Center for the Arts invites artists living in the U.S.A. to submit work to Bibliophoria II.

MEDIA: We are looking for artwork created in the form of handmade artist’s books—using traditional bookmaking methods, or contemporary, unconventional structures, or made by altering existing books. Open to any method, in any media, on any subject.

DEADLINE: Tuesday, May 31, 2011

NOTIFICATION: June 3, 2011 – posted on their website. Editor’s Note: If you hate the notification by post to website as much as I do, make sure you tell them AFTER they post results. This practice will become more and more common if you don’t speak up.

ENTRY FEE: SCA members, $15 per entry or 3 entries for $35 (membership is $40 annually). Nonmembers, $20 per entry, or 3 entries for $50. Maximum, 3 entries per artist.

JUROR: Sas Colby has more than forty years of experience making, exhibiting and teaching art. Her artwork has been exhibited and collected nationally and internationally. She made her first artist’s book in 1972 and is considered a pioneer in the field. A survey exhibition, Sas Colby: Twenty Years of Book Thinking, was shown in numerous venues in 1995. Colby has been a visiting artist in Australia and colleges throughout this country. She currently teaches workshops in Taos, New Mexico; Mallorca, Spain; and at the San Francisco Center for the Book.

AWARDS: $200 Best of Show; $50 Coordinators Award, and Merit Awards.
