CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Illustration

Posted on July 8, 2012July 8, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

SHOW ME

Do you remember when every cookbook offered pictures to help illustrate each step of a recipe? Those days are long gone. All we get now is the picture of what the rack of lamb looks like AFTER it has been frenched…not how to french a rack. Illustration makes the world go ’round in some cases. This next call wants to see your illustrative work. Take a look…

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Pop Up Billboard Exhibit

Posted on December 28, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

WELL-WORN PATHS

I get lots of requests for restaurant recommendations. And, I think sometimes people are disappointed when I give them the stereotypical answers, but famous places are famous for a reason. For example, I would never visit New Orleans without a trip to the Cafe du Monde for beignets and cafe au lait or to Central Grocery for a muffuletta. If you “pop-in” to this next show opening, make sure to check out my favorites. Is it lunch yet?

Check out this Call for Submissions from Art Below for the Pop-Up Billboard Exhibit and Gallery Orange co-exhibit in New Orleans. The fees are huge, but you can’t ask for better exposure. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Pop Up Billboard Exhibit, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Pop-Up
Billboard Exhibit

Art Below ‘Pop Up’ is taking place in New Orleans for the month of February 2012, specially planned to co-inside with the legendary Mardi Gras which every year bring thousands of fun loving visitors to the city to join the celebrations.

As an exhibitor you will be allocated with your own billboard to display your selected artwork for 4 weeks starting January 31, 2012.

Running alongside the billboard display you will also be invited to exhibit your selected artwork as part of the Art Below ‘Pop Up’ Group Show for the month of February at Gallery Orange located in the world famous French Quarter.

There will be 2 private view events at Gallery Orange on February 4th and 18th, 2012.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists.

MEDIA:
All media that can be adequately
represented as a static
two-dimensional 10’x20′ billboard.

DEADLINE:
January 9, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Ongoing after January 9th until spots are filled.

ENTRY FEE: The fee is £750 (approximately $1175 USD).

Editor’s note: I know this is a HUGE expense for many of you; however, if you look into the price of a billboard along any interstate (never mind this one is in the French Quarter during Mardi Gras) and you will quickly realize that this is A DEAL…IF AND ONLY IF this is the appropriate step in your career at this particular time.

JUROR: The jury process is unclear. However, my knowledge of Art Below indicates you probably can’t simply buy your way into this one.

SALES: This is a 50/50 split with Gallery Orange/Art Below for prints of your billboard image as well as original work included at the gallery portion of the exhibit.

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Solo in the Adirondacks

Posted on October 28, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

HOT TODDY!

My non-art related work place is The Lodge at Buckberry Creek, a resort in the Great Smoky Mountains patterned after the Great Camps of the Adirondacks in upstate New York. The Lodge is a 4-Diamond resort and home to the only fine dining in Gatlinburg. So for me, the idea of the Adirondacks conjures images of hand-oiled leather couches, animal hide rugs, wood-burning fires and warm mulled cider. Thanks to this annual call, it also reminds me of phenomenal art opportunities as well! The holidays are in the air…

A BALL

Spaghetti and Meatballs maybe the first home-cooked dinner meal that I remember. I remember not properly securing the leaf-supports on the table and having spaghetti rain down upon my father’s lap.

This next Call will bring you a little closer to your inner child, if you’ll only follow through…

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Artist A Day

Posted on August 13, 2011August 13, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

COLD
CAFFEINE…
with a pinch

Sometimes it takes just a pinch of an ingredient to make a dish complete. Have you ever tasted something delectable and said, “What IS that flavor?” I have theories of my own including nutmeg in diet Coke. But not all special ingredients are a secret. Pesto requires basil, but I prefer walnuts to pine nuts, and an art career requires publication…and a website. If you have a website, this could be the nutmeg in your diet Coke. If you don’t have a website, here’s another reason to invest…

Check out this Opportunity from ArtistADay.com to be a Featured Artist! There is no entry fee, membership is free, and you could win a feature post with links back to your website, but you have to have a website. And no, they don’t sell website service, ha. You’ve got nothing to lose…

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Artist a Day

The mission of Artist A Day is to raise awareness of fine art globally, through establishing personal connections between professional Artists and people who love Art.

From their perspective Artists are often under-valued, under-exposed, and under-appreciated. Through their membership base (free) of over one million people, they are able to bring immediate and lasting attention for Artists who would otherwise remain under-exposed.

“Very simply, if we can expose one person to a work of art they would have otherwise missed, we have made a contribution to the art community. With a million people, that contribution grows exponentially.” –artistaday.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists, but you MUST have a website. They are selective of the Artists they showcase, and the body of work they represent. In fact, they only showcase one or two works by the Artist that serve as an entry point for their members to explore that artist further, both on and offline.

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: Ongoing

ENTRY FEE: There is no entry fee.

AWARDS: A feature post including two images and links back to an artist’s personal website. Editor’s note: Testimonials from previously featured artists indicate that the surge in traffic flow to their sites is significant.

CHOCOLATE
PERFECTION

The existence of some foods has an almost mythical quality… the perfect hot dog, the perfect pizza, and for me, the perfect piece of chocolate?
