CALL for ENTRIES: Madness

patchwork PROVISIONS

The weirdness of my lunch is directly proportional to how badly I don’t want to go to the grocery store. I spend most of my working hours in my home office/studio. As a result, my work clothing standards are sometimes (often) not how I’d like to be seen in public. So to avoid the extra work of dressing and driving and shopping, I create food collages of sorts –often disparate ingredients composed into pasta salads, casseroles & almost anything sauteed & stuffed into a corn tortilla. This next Call is for traditional & digital collages; I don’t think food collage counts. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Las Laguna Gallery (Laguna Beach, CA) for the Collage & Digital Madness exhibit. Sales commission is only 25%. Don’t miss this opportunity…

“In the desire to find the new, do we also mourn the old,
the left-behind places?” —Liz Ruest

___

For years I have been trying to find the balance between the whirlwind of excitement that comes with every new milestone in my job with the desire to be still and quiet and ponder. For me it is the balance between ‘busy’ and ‘creative’. As grateful as I am to have the opportunity to work a non-traditional job as a performing artist, I miss the creative freedom to produce all of the visual work that consumes my quieter hours. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Liz Ruest, captures that struggle for me. Can we move forward while looking backward?

ARTIST of the DAY: Liz Huston

creative ISOLATION

As the new year approaches, I find myself more isolated and in my head as I set goals for the year and contemplate creative direction. Today’s Artist of the Day, Liz Huston captured my inner dialogue with storytellers of her very own. The pieces below that spoke to me are from a couple of years ago. But please take the opportunity to look at her new work and find your own story. (continues below)

“I am fascinated with the way memory influences how stories change and evolve over time. This happens not because the facts change,but because the inner orientation of the storyteller has. Their perspective grows; expanding and contracting with experience. The storyteller journeys us deep into the timeless aspects of the human experience; the kingdoms of love and loss, through grief, resolve, growth and into the balance of purpose… This time traveler, this storyteller, unites the treads of time–leading us home, bringing us back into ourselves.” — Liz Huston

CALL for ENTRIES: True Colors 2

Posted on May 15, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

TOM-A-TO
-ish

It is finally warm enough to be seeing a few normal tomatoes at the market. I have suffered through a winter FULL of day-glow tomatoes that are hard as rocks and completely tasteless. I think out-of-season growers spray them with something to make them have an appealing color, but they just end up disappointing when I get them home. Do not disappoint the purveyors of this Next Call with a lack of color. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from Digital Arts: California for True Colors 2 for digital work of any variety. The entry fee is very reasonable, and even if you don’t make it to the exhibit, you could end up in the online gallery. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Wide Open Digital Arts

OPEN WIDE
…and say “Ahhh”

Food TV rocks. Surprised that I would say so? I didn’t think you would be, ha. I like to believe I am wide open to any kind of food (and art) that comes my way, but watching shows like Chopped reminds me that my palate isn’t really challenged all that often. This next call challenges you to be wide open to digital art. Give ’em your best shot…

CALL for ENTRIES: Digital Unity

Posted on June 23, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FOOD for the EYES

I love food fusion. I’ve eaten in some crazy creations from Tex-Mex crossed with Filipino food to Cajun food crossed with Asian food. Recently I had Rueben eggrolls. Delicious. Not everyone embraces the new of it all. Digital art is like food fusion… not everyone loves it. This call gives you a great chance to participate in a digital show, and it just happens to be in Berlin. Bonus…

Check out this Call for Entries for Digital Unity sponsored by ANNEX:art and Förderkreis Dorfkirche Lübzow. The entry fee is a standard $35 (approximately), and it could get you an international show! This is not an online show…

*Editor’s Note: This show is two-part… the Call for Entries AND a separate Artist Residency to install all the accepted pieces. Enter your work (and maybe even you) could be on its way to Berlin. This Call is a little odd, and the website is not incredibly clear. If you are excited about a call for digital work, email the curator, Dr. Jörg Bauer, with your questions.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Digital Unity

The concept of this project will be to present various forms of digital art in a unified digital installation. Artist submissions are open to digital photography, digital audio installation, digital collage, digital painting and digital video clips. Each entry will be evaluated on its own merit with respect to inclusion in the final digital installation.

At least 10 digital images will be chosen for printing and inclusion in an exhibition which will be part of the installation. All other digital materials will be utilized and included in a digital projection project as part of an artist residency and ultimately included in the final installation. The installation will be presented to the public in Lübzow, Germany on October 2, 2011 with the entire installation then being presented in a Berlin gallery beginning on October 15, 2011.

Artists are welcomed to travel to Germany for the opening event and may also be interested in participating in installing the installation during the week leading up to the vernissage on October 2nd. One artist will additionally be chosen to compile the digitalized material into the final installation. Applications for this residency are separate from the submission of artwork for inclusion in the installation. Any artist wishing to take part in installing the show can inquire about the availability and terms of accommodations for this project.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Digital photography, digital audio installation, digital collage, digital painting, and digital video clips.

DEADLINE: August 31, 2011

NOTIFICATION: September 15, 2011

ENTRY FEE: After completion of the online application each artist is required to submit the non-refundable application fee of €25.00 (approximately $35 USD) via PayPal (due to security reasons only PayPal payments will be accepted). No entries will be reviewed prior to receipt of the application fee.

SALES: 15% commission
