CALL for PROPOSALS: Solo Show Opportunity

Posted on July 6, 2015July 6, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

DINNER FOR ONE
and one alone

I don’t share well. I don’t share anything well, but food is the worst. I am not proud of it. Maybe it is an only child thing. I can logically know that a dish will be too much for me, but I will still not agree to share instead. If I agree to a lets-get-one-of-each-and-share deal, we have to quite literally cut them in half upon arrival & exchange the halves. Otherwise I spend the meal obsessing about whether or not my husband will eat more than his half. I fall short of counting french fries–but just barely. So, my submission to this next Call will likely be a solo one (although my better self sometimes triumphs); however, you are welcome to contemplate sharing. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Proposals from Brentwood Arts Exchange (Brentwood, MD) for Solo & Group Show Opportunities. No entry fee & only 25% commission. Don’t miss this chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Red

blush

Red is undeniably my favorite color. I find myself drawn to red tones in food, from salmon to cherry Jell-o, Bloody Mary’s to pomegranates. Go figure. But recently I tripped across golden raspberries. How had I missed them all these years? They are slightly sweeter & milder than the traditional red variety, and I am willing to admit that I like them better in some instances. I feel like such a traitor. The next Call is the perfect red celebration. I like this group exhibit…

CALL for ENTRIES: Finding Our Place

Posted on July 2, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

space to
GROW

I have been searching for my place–in art, in music, in food, in the world. I have a long history of wanting to do everything at all times. I want to get it all right, experience it all, eat it all, see it all, do it all. As a result, I often get none of them quite right. Silly to some, I believe the answer is geographical. I continue to seek smaller spaces and places–one town smaller than the next. Now I seek space, acres inside the next smallest town. Not isolation so much as controlled interaction. Space to think. Space to choose. Space to grow. Where is YOUR space? Your place? The next Call wants your answers–or questions. What do you have to say?

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Finding Our Place: The Geography of Art. $25 entry, epic jurors & great art, time & time again. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Finding Our Place

“If you don’t know where you are, you don’t know who you are.”
–Wendell Berry

A sense of place can be an essential element in artists’ creative life, and frequently informs their subject matter, materials, style, approach, studio location, and more. Whether it be ones childhood “primal landscape,” full of memories of home and family, or the pull of a dramatic landscape, or a connection to a particular place based on historical and cultural events, geography calls to the imagination. As the world shifts to a focus on the virtual, how has this impacted artists’ work? Has it resulted in a weakening of a sense of place, or has the meaning of place simply adjusted to this new reality? This exhibit invites artists to explore this issue from either or both sides, and to celebrate what place means to them. What informs your work? A physical location or a virtual world? Do you know “where you are?” — from annmariegarden.org

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists
working in the US

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: August 14, 2015

NOTIFICATION: August , 2015

ENTRY FEE: $25 for up to 4

JUROR: The exhibit will be juried by a 1-2 member panel; typically, one member of the panel is drawn from the Smithsonian Institution.

AWARDS: Annmarie will present cash awards to outstanding work. Jurors will review installed works (not application images) for award selection. Award amounts are contingent upon sponsorship; typically there are at least three awards each about $250. All award winning artists will receive an invitation for a solo or group show.

SALES: Annmarie will retain a 40% commission of the listed sale price.

green-eyed
HUNGER

I prefer my food naked. I love food in its simplest forms. Sauces all seem to sweet or to salty lately. Just a hint of added flavors like ginger, lemon & the ever-lovely sesame oil are appreciated. Yes, ceasing smoking 18+ months ago is partly to thank. But after weeks on the road, I crave asian-slaw-topped avocados like these from Coffee & Quinoa–not comfort food. Nakedness is good; this next Call echoes that thought. Seize this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Reveal. $24 entry. We’re proud our readers have been both shown & awarded at Darkroom. Join their ranks…

CALL for ENTRIES: Small Plates

Posted on June 30, 2015April 4, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

i want some
MORE

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…

Check out this Call for Entries from ArtAndArtDeadlines.com (AAAD) for Small Plates: A Response to Hunger, a small works show, exhibited in The Balcony gallery (Knoxville, TN) located at The Emporium Center. Grow with us…

Small Plates

“The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

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

ENTRY FEE: $5 for up to 5. Entry fee waived for members in good standing of The Haggus Society.

CURATOR: R.L. Gibson (yours truly), a working artist, also serves as the editor of artandartdeadlines.com (AAAD). Trained in classical, French culinary techniques, Gibson created AAAD as a food-themed resource to motivate artists to create their own community, standards & artistic opportunities. In addition to producing her own solo & collaborative art, Gibson has served as a gallerist, juror, teacher & arts administrator for nearly two decades.

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.

SALES: All work will be considered for sale unless marked NFS. A commission of 30% will be taken on all sales. Please note, 20% commission on cash/check sales and 25% commission on credit card sales is held by Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville. The additional 5-10% commission is retained by AAAD. Unsold artwork will be returned and payment for sold artwork will be made within 30 days of the close of the exhibit.

SMART
food

I am food brave–usually. I can muster the courage to try bizarre foods, but I’ve gotten pretty squeamish lately. I am going to just admit this: I am more than mildly addicted to the new TV show iZombie. I got rid of cable TV in my home in favor of Hulu about 6 months ago, and I thought that would be the end of any regular show watching. Wrong. I found iZombie BECAUSE OF Hulu. But, as you might imagine, zombies eat brains. Now I realize that they aren’t real human brains, and I realize people indulge in all kinds of brain delicacies” from jello to calves and goat and more. But, no. I just can’t. So apparently I am not open to “anything”, but this next Call IS open to any theme. Take a look…

CUKES

In our continuing efforts to downsize in preparation for “tiny living”, I downsized myself out of garden space. We moved back to our previous 2-acre, mountain-top abode, but anything other than container gardening is impossible with out a major terracing project to provide flat space on the side of the mountain. So, we’re going to attempt to grow a few squash & cucumbers on the deck using the railings as support. But, considering the fact that my dog has tree’d several black bears during the past two-weeks. Am I simply creating a buffet dinner on my porch? Nature. Hmm. This next Call wants to know your perspective. Take a look…
