CALL for ENTRIES: Fur Elise

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

FUZZY WUZZY,
but not a bear

I will eat snails, but peaches give me the willies. Illogical, I know. It is about the fur. I eat kiwi and coconut because it is clear they are meant to be peeled. But fresh peaches have human-like hair growing that peeling seems a little cannibalistic. I hear your snickering; don’t judge me. I’ll eat my peaches canned or just settle for nectarines, thank-you-very-much. This next Call is all about the fur… in a good way. Take a look!

Check out this Call for Entries from White Flag Projects (St. Louis, MO) for Fur Elise, an artshow celebrating companion animals.

CALL for ENTRIES: Surreal Visions

Posted on June 22, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

SLOW not SNOW

It seems a little surreal to me that the snow that I whined so miserably about has barely melted, and I am already miserably whining about missing my slow cooker stews, soups and ragouts. Although there is one thing that I can still joyfully cook all day even in the Spring …Greek Chicken and Potatoes.

CALL for SUBMISSION: Portfolio Review

Posted on June 18, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

Mmmm vs. Bleeeeech!

When you invite someone for dinner, have you noticed how after the first bite they always say, “Mmmmmm.” I’m suspicious. Not everyone is a Chef; I think people sometimes just want to be polite. Being polite is not always available to gallery owners and directors. They have to be honest with their opinions to protect their bottom line… This next Call is a chance to hear one gallery’s opinion about your work. Are you ready to HEAR it?

Check out this Call for Submissions for Portfolio Review & Artist Representation from the Agora Gallery in New York City! There is no fee to submit; however, there is DEFINITELY a fee to be represented. If it isn’t your cup of tea, consider it a little educational nugget…

* Editor’s Note: Why am I publishing this? Did you hear about the 4 year old that sold 3 paintings for $27,000? This is where she did it. The gallery owner fell in love with her work without knowing her age. That SAYS something whether you like the child’s work or not. It’s worth a look, I’d say…

CALL for SUBMISSION: Portfolio Review

Learn more about the Agora Gallery! Agora Gallery is currently engaged in a call for artists and portfolio submissions – we are interested in seeing your work.

Are you ready to move into the international market, and exhibit your work in one of the most significant centers of the art world? This may be the next natural stage for your career as a fine artist, whether you are building on the local success that you have already experienced or simply because your work does not fit into local venues and requires a much more sophisticated audience.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

NOTIFICATION: Usually 2 to 4 weeks

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: Ongoing

COSTS: No cost to submit your portfolio. However, options for representation start from $2950 which can be paid in six installments of $540 each. Renewal will be offered at the end of the first year at a reduced cost along with a profile in their bi-annual publication ARTisSpectrum Magazine at no additional cost. Please note that many of the artists that they represent renew their agreement after the first year. Read artists’ testimonials. *Editor’s note: I know that this is not realistic for MOST of you; however, sometimes we have to consider things outside our comfort zone. Just a thought.

SALES: The commission on the sales is 70% for the artist and 30% for the gallery.

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Flink12

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

DAIRY ME

Remember when ice cream treats came 12 to a box? Then it was 10. Then 8. Now I pay $4.99 for a box of 6. Does that mean I’ll quit eating ice cream? Unlikely. I think this is the same psychology behind cigarette tax too, ha. Well, at least eggs still come by the dozen. (We won’t even discuss Eggland’s Best new 1/2 dozen cartons.) Twelve is the perfect number for this next Call too. A flink to be exact…

Check out this Call for Submissions from Flink12 for the Global Icon Art Competition. There is no fee to enter, and your work could be viewed by millions if Flink12 turns into the new Facebook. It is worth a try…

*Editor’s Note: Do not be alarmed. My beautifully crafted, sophisticated gourmet image has temporarily bitten the dust to make way for Saturday morning, cartoon-like graphics. We will return to your regularly scheduled programming tomorrow.
