CALL for ENTRIES: Patterns

don’t say the
E-WORD

My family is tired of eggs (aka the e-word). We have lost access to farm fresh eggs temporarily, and as a result, our 3 dozen eggs per week have become a chore. And, we are not quite sure how to do breakfast without eggs. We have the occasional pancake day, but eggs (scrambled, fried & poached) are the norm. We are trying to figure out how to break our food patterns & consider non-traditional breakfasts. Patterns are captivating for a reason, and this next Call wants to see yours. Investigate this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Exhibitions without Walls for Patterns Observed or Created. $30 Entry. Open to photography & digital art + cash awards. Take a look…

in a PICKLE

I’ve been studying food preservation, from pickling & water-bath canning to vacuum-sealing & salt-packing. I’ve run across a huge amount of admirable testing, experimentation and success amongst food-enthusiasts, homemakers, homesteaders, preppers & gardners alike. I am open to almost anything culinary at least once, but some folks are out there just purposely trying to make food, well, wrong. Koolickles. I am almost beyond words this time. Koolickles are created by soaking dill pickles in a mixture of Kool-Aid® & pickle brine. Being open doesn’t always work in my favor, but this next Call definitely does. They are open to almost anything, and it doesn’t have to be Koolickles, I promise…

DOUBLE
garden duty

We all eat massive amounts of corn. Since my husband’s Celiac diagnosis, we are a gluten-free household, and it took a lot of work. But, now it is second nature and, really, no big deal. But corn? If I had to try to cut corn out of our diets, we would starve; it is in EVERYTHING. In 2012, the USDA claimed 88% of U.S. corn is GMO. I’m not okay with that, so we are planning an attempt to grow our own soon. Meanwhile, did you know that corn does excellent double duty as a trellis for growing peas? Plus, the peas supply much-need nitrogen to the soil for the corn. Don’t you just love nature? It is in the nature of this next Call to offer DOUBLE the prizes. Make us proud…

Abstract II

ELIGIBILITY: All artists age 18+

MEDIA: Open to all 2D media: painting, drawing, collage, photography, digital, etc.

The artist’s work can be the “abstracting of representational objects” as in expressionistic, surrealistic or cubistic work. “Pure abstraction” is also accepted where there is little to no visual references of the external world.

“Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes…. Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an exploration into unknown areas.” — Arshile Gorky

CALL for ENTRIES: Red

Posted on July 5, 2015July 5, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

blush

Red is undeniably my favorite color. I find myself drawn to red tones in food, from salmon to cherry Jell-o, Bloody Mary’s to pomegranates. Go figure. But recently I tripped across golden raspberries. How had I missed them all these years? They are slightly sweeter & milder than the traditional red variety, and I am willing to admit that I like them better in some instances. I feel like such a traitor. The next Call is the perfect red celebration. I like this group exhibit…

CALL for ENTRIES: Small Plates

Posted on June 30, 2015April 4, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

i want some
MORE

Remember having “eyes bigger than your stomach”? That was the automatic response to an overly large-portioned plate at my childhood dinner table. It was then immediately followed by a lecture reminding me of children thought to be starving in a far away country that seemed, well, other worldly to a five year old. The truth would have been more effective. There were starving children in my own country, my own state, my own town, probably my own neighborhood. I was fortunate not to want for food as a child. But today, my eyes are always bigger than my stomach. I always take on more than I can easily digest, gastronomically and otherwise, and yet I always find myself both hungry to pile on more–even while suffering the indigestion of my last turn at the proverbial table. This next Call is proof. In 2016, we are proud to be offering a buffet for all of you. Take us up on this, the first of several dinner invitations to come…

Check out this Call for Entries from ArtAndArtDeadlines.com (AAAD) for Small Plates: A Response to Hunger, a small works show, exhibited in The Balcony gallery (Knoxville, TN) located at The Emporium Center. Grow with us…

“The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Here at AAAD, we believed that the food metaphor is a perfect vehicle to inspire you to feed your creative self. We shun the demeaning cutesy-ness of the bohemian “starving artist” image as it numbs us to the real struggle of hunger & starvation worldwide. Starvation, in a literal way, robs humanity of being human and ends even the possibility of a creative self. For SMALL PLATES, AAAD wants your views on hunger —physical, spiritual, political, emotional and/or creative. Food references are optional.

The SMALL PLATES will be exhibit will both open & close on May 6, 2016 as a part of the First Friday festivities at The Balcony Gallery, located in The Emporium Center in Knoxville, TN –a one-day show.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists —any age, any gender, any location.

THEME: Hunger—physical, spiritual, political, emotional or creative. Food reference optional.

MEDIA: Open to all media that will fit in a 9”x12” envelope (aka 229 mm x 305 mm or No. 10 ½), including but not limited to: painting, drawing, fiber, collage, digital, photography, graphic design, illustration, pen and ink, printmaking, etc.

DEADLINE: April 18, 2016

NOTIFICATION: Ongoing by April 19, 2016

ENTRY FEE: $5 for up to 5. Entry fee waived for members in good standing of The Haggus Society.

CURATOR: R.L. Gibson (yours truly), a working artist, also serves as the editor of artandartdeadlines.com (AAAD). Trained in classical, French culinary techniques, Gibson created AAAD as a food-themed resource to motivate artists to create their own community, standards & artistic opportunities. In addition to producing her own solo & collaborative art, Gibson has served as a gallerist, juror, teacher & arts administrator for nearly two decades.

AWARDS: To assist resume building, designations of Best of Show, 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place will be awarded; however, cash prizes will NOT be awarded. Award designations will be chosen from the physical work and will be judged based on artistic merit and interpretation of the theme. If not chosen for the gallery exhibit, please note that at the curator’s discretion, ONE image from EVERY artist will go into the online exhibit* with a link to the artist’s website. *Editor’s note: So if you follow all the rules, you can at the very least add the online exhibit to your resume, even if you are not selected for the physical exhibit.

SALES: All work will be considered for sale unless marked NFS. A commission of 30% will be taken on all sales. Please note, 20% commission on cash/check sales and 25% commission on credit card sales is held by Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville. The additional 5-10% commission is retained by AAAD. Unsold artwork will be returned and payment for sold artwork will be made within 30 days of the close of the exhibit.

Double the veggies might be the only thing better than the doubled cash prizes in this next Call. Make us proud…

CHEESE

As I get older, my tastes skew toward whole foods with a higher fat content–nuts, cheese, olives. Yum. My dog is newly enamored with cheddar cheese and almonds too. She recognizes the crackle of the almond bag from the other side of the house, ha. We try to maintain enough self-restraint to limit her people food to minimum, but it is hard to say “no” to that sweet face. This next Call wants your work depicting your pet family.

STRAWBERRIES

Do you peel tomatoes? I have a friend that doesn’t like “edges” on her food. No joke. She does the standard stuff like no crust on bread, but she also peels EVERY fruit & vegetable–strawberries, grapes, and yes, even tomatoes. I peel kiwi, bananas & canteloupe, but some stuff really is just easier to eat. Is it just me? This next Call wants ALL your edges (and curves). Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Haggus Society (Los Angeles, CA) for the Edges & Curves 4 . $12.50 is one of the lowest entry fees you’ll ever see. The Haggus Society is a sponsor of AAAD, and I am also a member. The theme is open; please enter & make us proud…

CALL
for ENTRIES:
Edges & Curves 4

Challenging the myth that cutting edge art is created only by young artists, The Haggus Society & Julie Montenegro State Farm, are hosting Edges & Curves 4.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to artists age 40+

MEDIA: 2D art (no larger than 32″ x 44″) & small 3D art (no larger than 14″ x 10″ x 8″)

DEADLINE: June 1, 2015

NOTIFICATION: June 5, 2015

ENTRY FEE: $12.50 for non-members. No entry fee for Hags.

JUROR: Terri Lloyd is a San Francisco Bay Area transplant who has called Los Angeles home since 1980. Under the influence of a Sixties latch-key-kid youth, the circumstances of a working class life did not provide the conventional means to an art education or experience. Introduced to the Apple computer in the 1980s, a love affair with digital technology was born. Lloyd’s career has been a two-pronged path between fine & commercial arts.

In 2010, Lloyd retired from the commercial arts path to pursue a lifelong interest of fine arts. She continues to become more active as a leader in community arts organizations and activities. When not working in the studio, Lloyd runs The Haggus Society, a feminist art collective for women over the age of 40.

SALES: The Haggus Society does not automatically take a commission; however, a small donation in the event of sales would be appreciated. Please include this in your pricing. If a work is not for sale please indicate with NFS.

*Just one other note. I showed work in the first Edges & Curves exhibit after meeting Terri Lloyd through the Featured Artist contest. Since then, I have found a community of creatives I love and enjoyed benefit of a solo show in L.A. Now I am a lifetime member, AND they are lifetime sponsors of this site. I can’t imagine not having these folks as a part of my creative life. It is amazing what $12.50 can do.
