BOOK COVER ART: Call for Entries

Posted on July 14, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I love the idea that
Art inspires Art.

I believe Art is Food for the Soul…which is one of the many reasons that I prattle on about food so much. Well, I also really like food. Good food inspires one to create good meals. So maybe it IS all cyclical.

Nevertheless, here is a great Call for Entries for Book Cover Art…art inspiring art.

Enjoy.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: All Hung Art Show

Posted on July 13, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

When I moved to the Great Smoky Mountains a few years ago, my family made a commitment to becoming more attuned to our surroundings and spending more time in the Great Outdoors. My family has tried gardening–no easy feat on the side of a mountain–as well as hiking, white water rafting and more. Why not bike riding? This Call for Entries is a great resume builder because it is a non-juried (all hung) show and promotes Bikes for the World too!

Here’s the Call for Entries for
Biketastic
An Art Show Inspired by Bicycles

“Biketastic” is an art show for all mediums inspired by bicycles! This show is meant to feature art that represents the many nuances of bike culture; from bikes for commuting, racing and pleasure rides to those who ride them for economic, and environmental reasons.

The Soundry’s proximity to the Washington & Old Dominion Trail gives the area a lot of “bike traffic.” As a result, they see first hand what an important role biking plays in many people’s lives. Smartly enought…they have also noticed that bike enthusiasts like bike related art!

This show is open to all mediums and will bring with it many bike-centered events from organized “rides” to film screenings, and a fashion show. The opening of the arts show will benefit Bikes for the World!

Commit to Submit Form Here! “Biketastic” is unjuried. The submission fee is $20 and artists may submit up to 3 pieces. All work must be for sale and ready to hang or display.

Submissions are due by July 21, 2010.

Delivery of art work is due to The Soundry by July 28th.

The Gallery at the Soundry

The gallery at The Soundry occupies about one quarter of their total space. It’s a rough-around-the-edges kind of space with good lighting and comfortable seating.

They hang their member’s artwork in this area and offer it for sale. This is the place to go in Vienna, Virginia if you’re looking for work from emerging artists, or if you just want to kick back, sip a latte, and take in some new sights.

The artwork in the gallery changes regularly, and a large portion of their gallery space is set aside for installation works.

The garage atmosphere and undergound, working-studio feel give visitors an experience they’re guaranteed not to find anywhere in the region.

Make sure you hurry:

Submissions are due by July 21, 2010.

Delivery of art work is due to The Soundry by July 28th.

RETRO ART CONTEST: Spirograph

Posted on July 12, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I love the sort of fun whimsy of the design of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. And as a parent, I love the variety of opportunities that were provided in that era to sneak the principles of design, color and competition into your children’s lives through play. Just add a Twinkie, and this next call for art entries from Sound Feelings Publishing would be a perfect combination or whimsy and design!

Can you Design Something better than this?

Sound Feelings Publishing is inviting submissions of beautiful designs to be Included in a Brand New Multi-Color Instruction Booklet for the Famous Spirograph Toy from the 1960s.

Using your 1967-1970 Kenner Spirograph toy (not Spirograph Plus or any other variant) and using a new Spirograph Multicolor Pen from Sound Feelings Publishing, create one or more BRAND NEW DESIGNS and submit them to Sound Feelings for their consideration to be included in their new, upcoming “Spirograph Multicolor Instruction Booklet.”

The winners will receive the prize money and will also have their names listed by their design (unless you prefer not to).

How Would These Designs be Different?

The original Spirograph incorporated pens that had four colors, black, blue, red and green.

Sound Feelings is seeking submissions of new designs that use the new Spirograph Multicolor Pen.

These new pens contain the original four colors: black, blue, red and green.

But the new pen ALSO includes fun and creative rainbow colors: yellow, light blue, pink, purple, brown, and orange — ten colors in one pen!

The Spirograph Multicolor Pen contains 10 ballpoint cartridges within one large barrel.

The ballpoint pen tips of the cartridges are the EXACT size of the original pen tips that came with your 1960s Spirograph. (Modern ballpoint pens have larger size tips that will not fit through the holes of the Spirograph gears.)

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 5, 2010

RULES:

1. Use a Spirograph multicolor pen (pictured right at $5.99) to a create brand new design on your Spirograph

2. Artwork created with gel tip, rollerball or felt tip pens will NOT be accepted.

3. Use high-quality paper so that the pen does not make any holes or rough spots. The paper color will usually be white, but if your design requires paper of a different color, then that will be completely acceptable.

4. Use one or more of the colors in the multicolor pen. (You may use as many colors as you want in your design, but generally, combining a few well-matched colors well will look better than using all ten colors!) Also, you may just want to use the original black, blue, red or green colors in your design and that would be completely fine.

5. Scan your completed design at 300 dpi or higher and save in .jpg format, at the highest quality. If you don’t have a scanner, you can mail the original to us and we will scan it and return your original to you.

6. Create instructions that follow the same format as the original instruction booklet so others may re-create your design. This includes displaying the ring number, the wheel number, the hole and the color of pen, and the reference starting point. Please see the sample of the original instruction booklet to guide you.

7. You agree that if you become one of their winners, you relinquish complete ownership and copyright of your design to Sound Feelings Publishing.

8. You may submit more than once.

9. Prizes will be based on existing submissions. If there are not enough contest art entries AND if the standards of the entries are not high enough then some of the prizes will not be awarded.

10. They will ONLY publish the winning entries. They will not publish your design unless they pay you for it!

11. Winners will be chosen within 60 days of the submission deadline and will be paid immediately thereafter.

12. Cost to enter: FREE!

Submit Your Entry to: spirographcontest@soundfeelings.com

Please include:

Your artwork (scanned as described above)
Your instructions (as described above)
Your name
Your email address
Phone number
Mailing address
Would you like your name published if you win?
PayPal email (optional–see below)

If you become one of the winners, they can send payment by PayPal. If you prefer that, then make sure they have your PayPal email and let them know that you prefer that method of payment. Otherwise, they will send your payment by check to your mailing address.

Hurry! The Deadline is October 5th! Order a pen and start designing today!

EMERGING ARTISTS: Ephemeral Call for Entries

Posted on July 7, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

ArtAndArtDeadlines.com thrives on the idea of helping artists move beyond the Starving Artist Syndrome. It does not have to be all instant oatmeal and ramen noodles, folks. Although I do admit to loving ramen and all of the salty goodness.

Find a Show. Enter a Show. Eat.

We are not alone in our enthusiasm for helping artists succeed. Take a look at this great call for ephemeral art.

ROY G BIV Gallery for Emerging Artists is currently looking for entries for Time-Sensitive, an exhibition held at The Ohio State University Urban Arts Space, located at 50 W Town Street, Columbus, OH 43215 from October 2010 – January 2011. Ola Ståhl will select the artwork. Group exhibitions may be submitted with a concept proposal for the space.

Time-Sensitive will feature artists who explore the idea of the ephermeral. Ephemeral artworks fade, disappear, or simply “end” due to the materials or time that they inhibit. The artworks in Time-Sensitive will explore the impermanent and the transitory, as well as disintegration and decay. These investigations will hopefully encourage momentary (yet lasting) impressions on the viewer.

About the Juror: Ola Ståhl is a writer, cultural theorist and sound & text based artist based in Malmö, Sweden. He received his BA with First Class Honours in The History of Art, Design and Film with Professional Writing from Sheffield Hallam University, and his MA with Distinction in The Social History of Art and PhD in Cultural Studies from the Department of Fine Art, Art History and Cultural Studies at The University of Leeds. He is a founding member of artist collective C.CRED with which he has participated in several international art exhibitions and festivals.

About OSU Urban Arts Space Vision and Mission: The Ohio State University Urban Arts Space challenges our ways of thinking about the performing and visual arts and their role in everyday life through conversation, art-making, and experimentation. The OSU Urban Arts Space encourages transformative experiences that expand worldviews, offer hands-on practical experiences in the arts and education, and develop new career skills to reflect an entrepreneurial culture. Located in the heart of downtown Columbus, the OSU Urban Arts Space joins the university with the state of Ohio and the world, functioning as an arts laboratory for Ohio State faculty and community artists and serving as a professional launching pad for Ohio State students.

About ROY G BIV: ROY G BIV Gallery is a non-profit art gallery located at 997 North High Street in Columbus, Ohio’s historic Short North District. ROY has been dedicated to supporting emerging artists since 1989, featuring thousands of artists during its twenty-one years of existence. They pride themselves on bringing new and exciting art monthly to the Short North.

ENTRY FEE: There is a $30 entry fee for non-members. For more information on becoming a member, please visit www.roygbivgallery.org/membership.

ENTRY PROCEDURE: They are accepting images of and/or proposals for single artworks, installations, and performances that deal with the idea of the ephemeral. For consideration, the artist must submit four to six jpeg images 1MB or larger in size that are labeled with last name and slide number (ex. smith01.jpg).

Each set of jpegs must be accompanied by an image list containing the following information for each submitted image: number, title of work, date of work, medium. The image list must be in .doc or PDF format labeled with last name (ex. smithimagelist.doc).

Artists may submit up to 2 videos. Videos must be submitted in Quicktime (.mov) format with 740 X 480 aspect ratio for widescreen or 640 X 480 for fullscreen. The first two minutes of each video will be reviewed. Videos should not exceed a playing time of 10 minutes per video.

Submissions must include an artist statement and a resume in PDF or .doc format, labeled with last name (ex. smithstatement.doc). Artworks incorporating 2-D and 3-D elements must be made of ephemeral material. Such material is impermanent, non-archival, and/or constantly changing in time.

Due to health concerns, artworks comprised of materials that attract insects and vermin cannot be exhibited. Materials must not be hazardous for indoor display, as all artworks will be displayed within the Urban Arts Space Lower Gallery.

Due to the nature of ephemeral materials, artworks in the exhibition will not be insured by The Ohio State University Urban Arts Space.

Please send all application materials to entries@roygbivgallery.org with the subject header: “TIME-SENSITIVE – URBAN ARTS SPACE”

ENTRY DEADLINE: Saturday, August 28, 2010.

No other supplemental materials will be taken into consideration during the jury process.

Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Images of selected artwork will be retained for exhibition promotion use.

CALL FOR SUBMISSSIONS: New York Show

Posted on July 5, 2010July 5, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

THE JOY OF DISCOVERY

One of the joys posting for ArtAndArtDeadlines.com is opening my email and receiving Calls that you just know will be the golden egg in some artist’s Easter egg hunt.

I love being a part of new beginnings–both for artists and for galleries. My experience is that gallery directors are (at least at the beginning of a project) hopeful–even expectant–of what is to come.

My experience is also that artists spend a lot of time (at least in the beginning) hopeful–even expectant–that a gallery director is going to fall in love with their work.

The joy if this post is that it may–just maybe– fulfill the hope of both for a handful of my readers. The deadline is July 18th…DO NOT MISS this opportunity!

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Low Tech Photo Show

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

You know I have a sugary-soft spot for photography (and photographers as it turns out), but more than my love for the technical quality of the image is my love for the complexity of results available with older technology.

As artists, many of us have been very concerned about the future of photography due to the inexpensive availability of digital cameras…

Who knew digital cameras would create a whole new audience for the classics like Polaroid and pinhole?

Here’a a great call for those Low Tech processes from
The Center for Fine Art Photography

JUROR: Crista Dix

She has been a member of numerous panels and discussions, juried creative competitions and has participated in major portfolio reviews across the country.
