CALL for ENTRIES: 2011 Annual Juried Show

Posted on October 4, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

CAKE FOR EVERYONE

Aside from food, there are a few themes that run through my blog posts. Entering academic shows can be a huge plus for all artists…but I find that emerging artists, regardless of age, really benefit most. If you get juried in to an academic exhibition, make every effort to attend the opening. You’d be amazed by how much you can learn by being a fly on the wall when no one knows you’re there. And remember, sometimes you can have your cake and eat it too…academic settings are great for art sales.

Check out this great Call for Entries for Chowan University‘s National Juried Exhibit for 2011. The entry fee is a little higher than I would like, but the juror is great and the opening is in January when many commercial galleries are on a bit of a hiatus. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Spherical

Posted on October 3, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

STEAM ME UP, SCOTTY!

I know you are of you Starbucks-aholics are shuddering, but we don’t own a coffee pot. I am not a coffee drinker, and the smell of brewing coffee makes me a touch nauseous. So, when Jon wants coffee, he either uses our French press which can take a little while, or we just pick it up on the way in to work. Did you know that even our convenience store has a barista? No joke. Jon’s coffee came with a beautiful heart-shaped cloud of cream.

Remember when all coffee-related activities were round? Coffee cups, coffee posts, coffe rings? Check out this Call for Entries for all things inspired by the round call Spherical. This show is brought to you by the folks a A Smith Gallery in Johnson City, Texas. The deadline is October 19th, but you can email your entries and pay fees by PayPal…so hurry!

“When looking back at my images, I was amazed at how many of them contained spheres and circles. It was not intentional. It just happened. The circles and spheres were sometimes the center of interest in the image, but often they played more of a subtle supporting role or were maybe just implied. And then there is my series of round images made with a fisheye……”

Circles and spheres are an integral part of our lives. From the wheels on our cars to the cup you pour your morning coffee into, circles appear everywhere. So, look around you right now. How many circles or spheres do you see?

JUROR: Carla Ellard will be the juror of “Spherical”. Carla received her Masters in Library and Information Science from the University of Texas-Austin and a Bachelor of Science in Photography at East Texas State University. She has been the Assistant Curator, Southwestern & Mexican Photography, at the Wittliff Collections at Texas State University-San Marcos for the past ten years. She has curated several shows from the Wittliff Collections, including Art of the Tintype and 45 Photographs of masterworks from the permanent collections.

CALL for ENTRIES: Ex Arte Equinus 4

Posted on October 1, 2010October 1, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

HORSIN’ AROUND

Someone emailed me an appreciative note about my recent post featuring a rubber chicken. I explained that finding Calls for Entry day after day was far easier than figuring out how to make a food reference day after day. There have only been a few that I wasn’t particulary proud of like the Rice A Roni reference to San Francisco. Nothing against Rice A Roni…it just wasn’t a creative reference. So here I am…horses? Carrot, folks. That’s all I’ve got.

Check out this great Call for Entries in Ex Arte Equinus 4 brought to you by Art Horse Magazine. The fees are reasonable, and this in an excellent opportunity to get true value from Art Publications. Check it out…

Editor’s Note: I know, I know. I can smell the paranoid, suspicious email headed my way about how I shouldn’t promote Calls from newbies. Bottom line…we all start somewhere. They are building a blog and finding a few fans on facebook too.

This blog is only a year old. If everyone had been suspicious, I wouldn’t have a few hundred of you mixed nuts reading these posts everyday. Then where would we all be (she says with an exaggerated sense of self-importance)? Have a little faith, folks. When you expect the best…you very often get it.

WEARING WAFFLES

I am a wierdo, admittedly. I am obsessed with food. I don’t drink coffee. I rarely wear pants. I won’t do much that can’t be done in four inch heels, and I don’t like prints…unless they are geometric. Oh yeah, that is just the tip of the weirdness iceberg. I like geometric food too…Gorgeous round egg yolks, little logs of goat cheese, and the perfect grid of a golden waffle.

Gallery Statement: “Every year for 50 years the L.A. Municipal Gallery has held its ‘Open Call’ exhibit where any artist can show up with their art and an entry fee (to benefit gallery programs) and the piece is shown.

“The Los Angeles Center For Digital Art decided to launch an international experiment of the same nature where the artists upload images that are printed and hung by the gallery. The hundreds of works are displayed in a grid like installation (reminiscent of postcard art shows of the 1980’s) where every work submitted is exhibited.

“The usual (less than democratic) selection process where only the precious few are chosen is turned on its head in a curatorial anarchy where everyone gets to participate and the viewer is literally left to be the judge. The show represents a snapshot of a current moment in art history when digital imaging has reached the hands of the many, an age where culture belongs to the ‘mobblogers’ around the globe.

“From Thailand to Texas, amateur to academic, beautiful to banal and beyond the monumental quantity and variety of “Snap to Grid” becomes an aesthetic experience where each individual piece adds to an agglomerative effect that has a life of its own.”

CALL for ENTRIES: The Spice of Light

Posted on September 25, 2010September 25, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

FLOURESCENT
RUBBER CHICKEN

I have spent the last two days in a ballroom in Northwest Tennessee at a corporate conference. As you might imagine, the rubber chicken served at ALL of the conferences was not the highlight of my culinary experience. However, I am most surprised that what I missed. More than anything, I missed the sunlight on my face. Flourescent lighting is not your friend. Every chance I could find between seminars I stood in the sun.

Imagine my delight to find this great Call for Entries from Vermont Photo Space Gallery called The Spice of Light celebrates the beauty of nature, specifically light, that we find the essence of our souls. As a phenomenal bonus Vermont Photo Space Gallery, this gallery offers free matting and framing. Take a look…

CALL FOR ENTRIES: The Spice of Light

Fine art nature photographers create emotions, feelings and memories. Sometimes Mother Nature gives you the perfect light, the perfect composition, the perfect colors, and you are able to present your experience exactly as the lens captured it.

Unfortunately, most of the time…she doesn’t. This doesn’t lessen the excitement, the drama, you experienced at the moment of capture. At times like this, you have to go deep within yourself to discover the colors, lines, and shapes that not only express what you experienced, but also transfer that emotion to the viewer.

Color: the Spice of Light is your opportunity to express nature in a manner that doesn’t necessarily express reality, but does express your feelings and experience at the moment of capture. And, by all means, if nature gave you that “perfect moment”, then submit that moment! The Juror wants to see drama through the use of composition, color and light….an image that makes the viewer want to stop and spend time with your creation….an image that makes the viewer FEEL! Remember, it’s within the beauty of nature that we find the essence of our souls.

JUROR: Bruce K. Haley, Jr. uses the camera lens as his paint brush. His bold and colorful presentation of nature has made his work much sought after throughout the United States.

Since November of 2002, Haley’s award-winning art has appeared in over one-hundred exhibitions in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Colorado, North Carolina Michigan, and California. His work is included in many corporate and private collections including six pieces purchased by the state of West Virginia for their permanent art collection.

In Bruce’s words, “Photography isn’t about f/stops, shutter speeds or equipment. it’s about living, feeling, seeing. It’s about opening my mind to learning, not only about the people, places and things around me, but also, about me. Photography, for me, is life living, life giving.”

RULES FOR PHOTO SUBMISSIONS:

Age: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger. a parent or legal guardian may make the submission for you.

Ownership: All submitted photos must have been taken by the photographer making the entry. If you are a parent or legal guardian submitting for a minor, please make it clear.

1. Upload on VermontPhotoSpace.com or

2. Sent via email to submissions@VermontPhotoSpace.com. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it along with an application form. There is a $5.00 surcharge for email entries.

3. Images should be as large as possible but no larger than 1280 pixels on the longest side, type jpg – set to the highest quality. DPI can be set to any number, but if you must specify something go with 72 dpi.

FEES: Up to three images may be submitted for a fee of $20 US for on-line submission and $25 for email submission. Additional images may be submitted for an additional $5 US per image.

DEADLINE: Images and payment must be received by midnight EST on the submission closing date October 28, 2010.

RIGHTS: Photographers retain all rights to their work, except for submissions accepted for exhibition: artists grant Vermont Photo Space the right to use their images to promote the exhibition and for display on VPS website and for inclusion in an exhibit catalog.

CALL for ENTRIES: I Am Solitary…Again

Posted on September 24, 2010November 15, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

COOK ALREADY!

I write a lot about the recipe for success, about using the best ingredients, about never over-cooking. I don’t like to talk about the burnt bread of it all. But the truth is that even when you follow the recipe, sometimes the souflee just doesn’t rise. You can’t take it personally; you just have to get back in the kitchen.

I entered the original Beers Lambert I Am Solitary call posted on this site…and my souflee didn’t rise. However, I am going back to the kitchen, and I invite you to do the same. Check out this Call for Entries for I Am Solitary – London that is a counterpart to the original. Join me in applying for what promises to be a phenomenal show at the Gift gallery.

Call for Submissions:
I Am Solitary – London

Beers.Lambert Contemporary Art is proud to curate an exhibition for Gift Gallery, at its extraordinary location on London’s primary gallery row, Vyner Street.

I Am Solitary – London, is a counterpart and extension of the related Beers Lambert exhibition that took place in Nottingham, in September of 2010.

This collaboration with Gift Gallery seeks progressive contemporary art that responds to questions of identity and individuality.

The exhibition aims to highlight ideas and articulations relating to a conceptual and aesthetic understanding of individuality, isolation, and identity in a world typified by conflict, disillusionment, and change.

The work submitted should critically & aesthetically challenge the reception of these themes & truly push the direction of contemporary art.*

*For those of my readers that like to skim the posts, please note that I put this sentence in bold…green…AND centered it for you…hint, hint.

Submission Deadline:
Sunday, November 14, 2010

Eligibility & Media: Artists at all career stages, from all parts of the world, working in all mediums and practices are encouraged to submit.

Vyner street haslong been the benchmark of excellence in London’s contemporary art sphere; prominently located at 10 Vyner, Gift gallery continues this tradiiton of featuring emergent and progressive contemporary art.

Beers Lambert is proud to work with Gift to present I Am Solitary – London.

CALL for ENTRIES: Wearable Art & Jewelry

Posted on September 23, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

A GOOD EGG

We all know that I love food, but it occured to me that I don’t mention that I love cooks and chefs often enough. There is little better in this world than a well crafted Eggs Benedict. And, while the eggs are best when farm fresh, hollandaise in the wrong hands is just BAD regardless of how fresh the eggs are. I feel much the same about craft artisans.

A scarf isn’t always just a scarf…ask Pat K. Thomas. And certainly, jewelry isn’t always just jewelry…ask Vanessa Walilko. It is art, and I salute the craft artisans that turn raw materials into the phenomenal. Check out this great Call for Entries for the 17th Annual RAGS Juried Wearable Art Show. And remember, buying wearable art supports and artist…and makes you look fabulous!

17th Annual Juried Wearable Art Show and Sale

CALL for ENTRIES: Past is Present

Posted on September 22, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

DO HICKEYS

It will come as no surprise that I love kitchen gadgets. I actually own a machine called the CoCoMotion (pictured right) that serves the solitary purpose of making hot cocoa at the perfect temperature. Embarrassing, but true. The top of my cabinets serves as a storage house of ridiculous serving pieces I’ll never use, old cheese boxes, and some very cool art made out of toasters. And if it is an OLD kitchen gadget…like my egg scale, then I’m really in love.

I fell in love for this Call for Entries from The Columbus (GA) Museum called Past is Present: Contemporary Approaches to Historical Decorative Arts and Design. Check it out…I think you’ll be surprised to find it is part classical applied art, part artisan craft and a whole lot of opportunity to look at your art from a different perspective.

CALL for Entries: Past is Present

The Columbus Museum announces a call to artists for its upcoming exhibition, Past Is Present: Contemporary Approaches to Historical Decorative Arts and Design. Contemporary artists are creating artwork that is breathing new life into techniques and forms found in centuries-old American decorative arts and design.

This exhibition will explore reinterpretations of textile work, including embroidery and beadwork; ceramics, such as transfer ware and figurines; portraiture, including miniature paintings and silhouettes; furniture-making, such marquetry and tall-case clocks; stained glass; and other traditional American decorative arts forms. The exhibition will be accompanied by a 16-page publication.

Eligibility: Open to all artists residing in the Continental United States. The Columbus Museum encourages innovative and progressive work that utilizes a diversity of art forms and media.

How to Submit Your Work: Please send 5-10 images at least 300 dpi on CD. Label all images with title and submit a corresponding image list.

The image list should include the title, date, dimensions, and medium (please list specific materials for mixed-media work). Please also include a current resume and artist statement.

Do not send original artwork, slides, master tapes, catalogues or reviews. Materials without self-addressed stamped envelope will not be returned.

DEADLINE: All materials must be postmarked before October 1, 2010; they may hand-delivered by that date to the Columbus Museum, located at 1251 Wynnton Road, Columbus, Georgia 31906, if preferred.

ENTRY FEE: There is no submission fee.

Electronic Media Work: Submit a sample of work(s) up to 30 minutes on DVD. (Complete work may exceed this running time.)
