OPEN CALL: Barrier Beautification

Posted on January 31, 2012January 31, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

GREEN is for GO
…not EAT

Boredom is cause for eating at my desk, in my car or on my couch. I’m not saying that it is healthy behavior, but it is, in fact, MY behavior. I suppose if my Jeep came equipped with a fridge so that I could munch on carrot stick, yogurt and other healthy goodies, it might be less of a problem. However, I would settle for less boredom in the car. This next call offers motorists a better view and you a possible adventure. Take a look…

Check out this Open Call from the New York City Department of Transportation’s Urban Art program for their Barrier Beautification opportunity. I know some of you are thinking “I don’t live in NYC.” Well, you don’t have to, and it would pay for you to remember that you are a citizen of the world…not just your hometown. At least take the time to investigate…

OPEN CALL: Barrier Beautification

DOT, in collaboration with New York Cares, commissions artists and designers to produce murals for concrete barriers that typically separate bicycle lanes from lanes of vehicular traffic. Hundreds of New York Cares volunteers assist the selected artists with painting their designs onto assigned barrier sites.

Each spring DOT announces an open call for Barrier Beautification proposals. Individual artists are invited to apply. DOT selects project sites and, together with New York Cares, provides all project materials. DOT oversees design and project implementation. Artists are responsible for translating their designs onto the barrier sites.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Painting

DEADLINE: February 24, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Early March 2012

ENTRY FEE: None

JURY: A jury shall review and rank all submissions based on the following criteria: proposed design is aesthetically pleasing and appropriate for the public realm; past artwork demonstrates proficiency in design; and previous experience demonstrates ability to accomplish large-scale, team-based projects.

AWARDS: Each selected artist will be awarded an honorarium of $2,000 to complete a final design, translate the design onto the barrier and oversee the implementation process with volunteers. Additionally, each artist will receive a $500 stipend to cover the cost of materials to translate the design onto the barriers (i.e. special paper, stencils and markers). NYCDOT and NY Cares will provide materials and tools to paint the design.

CALL for ENTRIES: Art in the Underbelly

Posted on October 1, 2011October 1, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

UNDER
my BELLY?

I am not a beer drinker. Yet, I am married to a home brewer of beer. Go figure. I’ve never been fond of many beers with the exception of Red Stripe and Grolsch, prefering wine instead. Interestingly enough, I love the smell of beer. This next Call is for a space just under a boozer (UK slang for a bar), just in case you want a tasty bite along with a pint. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Rumsey Wells (Norwich, UK) for Submit & Exhibit 2 at Art in the Underbelly. If you like unsual show spaces and are looking for a show across the pond…You can’t beat this entry fee!

*Editor’s Note: If you are reading the post CALL for ENTRIES: Art in the Underbelly anywhere other than by email subscription or on www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES: Art in the Underbelly

Art in the Under Belly is creative exhibition and performance space in Norwich, UK. Housed beneath The Rumsey Wells, its aim is to offer artists the opportunity to exhibit in an intriguing and unusual environment.

Far from being another gallery, the space is a converted cellar packed into intimate surroundings. There are no white walls or large floor spaces, instead the walls and the space retain much of their original character adding to the individuality of the surroundings. The space is open Monday to Friday, 1-3pm and 12-5pm on Saturdays.

After the success of 2009’s Submit & Exhibit, which saw submissions from as far afield as Pakistan and the USA, Art in the Underbelly is having its second open submission show, set to open in January 2012. Submissions are sought from artists and creative practitioners and anyone who makes work that they think would fit the space.

ELIGIBILITY: People of all levels of artistic availability are invited to submit. They are most interested in work we like the look of rather than years of experience. Hurray!

MEDIA: They are mainly seeking 2D work but there is some room for small 3D work and work that hangs from ceiling spaces.

DEADLINE: November 30th 2011

NOTIFICATION: None indicated.

ENTRY FEE: ￡5 (approx. $7.40 USD) for up to 3 images

SALES: Work can be for sale, the space takes a 20% commission.

Posted on September 23, 2011September 23, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

I want
S’MORE PLEASE

My first s’mores experience was straight out of a bad, summer-camp movie. I went to a six-week sleep-away camp for four summers in a row, and I treasure every memory from those mosquito-infested, zit crusted, body-image-issue-filled summers. S’mores are my last connection.

*Editor’s note: I am IN LOVE with this Call. To heck with being a Project Master… I want to be one of the KIDS that get to go to this camp. I don’t know if I can think big enough to submit a Proposal, but I am certainly going to try…

CALL for PROPOSALS:
Beam Camp Projects

Every year Beam commissions unique large-scale collaborative Projects that serve as centerpieces of each Beam session.

CALL for PROPOSALS: Gallery 263

Posted on August 8, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BEANS to NUTS

You know what I haven’t eaten in years? Boston Baked Beans candy. Remember those red, candy coated peanuts you used to love? They don’t really look like boston baked beans to me, although I do suppose they have one thing in common the their more savory counterpart… a dose of protein that is well-hidden in sugar. Well, you don’t have to go to the Boston area to get either of these culinary treats; however, it might be a goofy distraction while you are in town for your show opening once you apply to this next Call.

CALL for PROPOSALS: Smoking Mirrors in NYC

Posted on April 14, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PICKLES
& ICE CREAM

Some foods just go together like peanut butter & chocolate, bacon & eggs, even pretzels & mustard. But sometimes, the best pairings are a surprise like french fries & mayo or chocolate & chili. This Call combines all the drama of modern dance with the interactive nature of installation artwork–a perfect pairing. This is a great opportunity to be a part of a two-week pop up gallery in New York City.

Check out the Call for Proposals for Smoking Mirrors from Kinematic Dance and A+ Productions. No entry fee and an uber-cool concept. Don’t miss out on this one… particularly if you are interested in installation work!

*Editor’s Note: If you have ever wanted to try your hand at installations, here is a free opportunity. Remember, all they can do is say no. If they do, send me the rejection letter, and you’ll get a free entry into the $2 Art Contest. See? You win either way.

CALL for PROPOSALS:
Smoking Mirrors

Kinematik Dance and A+ Productions are soliciting proposals for exhibitions at Smoking Mirrors for Fall 2011 in New York City. Artists will collaborate with choreographers and dancers in creating an interactive, multi-sensory performance environment. Winning proposals will be sponsored for a two-week pop up gallery showing and two performance events with reception. Artistsʼ will receive exhibition opportunity, publicity, and documentation of work.

THEME: Smoking Mirrors explores how identity has become synonymous with pixilation in our fast-paced, media-driven world. How have our identities become pixilated through advanced technology and social media and which stages of fragmentation have led us to multiply ourselves? Has this shift given us more freedom and tools to define our own existence or has it, in fact, limited our capacity to simply exist?

From the invention of the mirror to the iPhone, various devices have helped us create replicas of ourselves, often blurring the lines between what is real, imaginary, and symbolic. In this event we are inspired to journey through the various stages of fragmentation to the inevitable negotiation of identity. Starting with the uninterrupted experience of wholeness we move through the detachment of the self by reflection, society, traditional media (advertising) and hypermedia (social networking).

ELIGIBILITY: Open to installation artists, set designers, multi-media and video artists, and lighting designers.

MEDIA: Smoking Mirrors is the first in a series of “Performance Design” events that incorporates dance, design and multi media arts. Part performance, part art installation, and part party, the event will include 60 minutes of dances pieces that fuse movement, technology, imagery, and the unusual use of props. Performances will take place in various areas of a created multisensory and interactive environment, through which the audience will move to view performances.

DEADLINE: May 5, 2011

ENTRY FEE: There is no entry fee.

SPONSORED BY: Kinematik Dance provides visually stimulating and provocative choreography that fuses elements of urban dance such as Hip Hop, House, Breaking and Vogue with contemporary modern dance. Through a synthesis of artistic elements such as movement, visual imagery, lighting and the unusual use of props, Kinematik reconstructs the conventional by addressing common social stereotypes and engaging audiences to rethink existing notions about urban and popular culture. Kinematik aims to vitalize the concert dance world with a fresh new perspective on the conceptual street dance movement.

A+ Productions is a multi-disciplinary production company that seeks to foster integrated, creative communities by creating a platform for dynamic collaborations between visual and performing artists. In our city (NYC) of nearly 10 million people artists too often operate autonomously and independently within their respective communities. By pairing choreographers with designers, architects, sculptors, poets, and the like, A+ promotes a more communal approach to art-making that enhances the work of each artist while making dance more visible and accessible to the general public.

CAN’T BUY ME LOVE!

I don’t eat bugs. It strikes me as less exotic and more… well, gross. But, bug food is one of my first encounters crossing art with food.
