CALL for ENTRIES: The Sketchbook Project

Posted on December 9, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

HERRING
pickled, not red

My pantry is a library of food fads and favorites. You’ll find canned tomatoes from my mother (necessary to all of my favorite dishes) and high-fat coconut milk (necessary to all quiet indulgences). Then there is the the fruit cocktail, quince marmalade, pickled herring, kimchi, a jar of black lime & a few dried apricots left over from some food obsession or experiment that either went awry or with which I got bored. I can’t bring myself to get rid of the non-expired food no matter how random because they occasionally inspire genius. This next Call displays the beauty of collecting and sometimes inspires genius. This is a beautiful idea…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Brooklyn Art Library for The Sketchbook Project (SBP 2015). Send your work on tour of museums and galleries across North America for as little as $25! Since the last time I mention SBP, there is now a digitized option! Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Animals

Posted on November 27, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

corn, hay or
ALFALFA

Grass or corn or both? Research on how to feed the animals we choose to raise after the move to the farm continues. Most commercially-available feed consists of a high percentage of corn—GMO corn. Feeding our chickens and goats and sheep GMO corn really negates the reason behind raising our own animals. So grass fed, right? Why not just turn them out into the field since it has green stuff growing on it? Well, it is more complicated than that. You have PLANT and sometimes re-plant that field of “grass” in most cases. Then, what variety do you plant. If we are what we eat, they are what they eat. In the end, the animal depends on the plant. Interesting. This next Call depends on only the animal. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net (online) for Animals. The entry fee is as little as $15, and the prize packages are fantastic. Don’t miss the opportunity…

SPRINKLES

Hello, my name is Rachel, and I am an emotional eater. I own it most days. I have learned to indulge the tendency with care. Potato chips and dip are fine after an occasional day of stress as long as it isn’t a daily ritual. Also, I’ve learned to be more discerning about the potato chips and dip I chose, of course. I find that my celebration eating is far worse than my stress eating though. I am wishing lots of celebration cupcakes for the five of my readers (fingers crossed) that make the cut for this next Call. Take a look…

I miss Spring, and it is October. I miss the flowers. Well, I miss the dogwoods in particular.

CALL for ENTRIES: Water

Posted on October 8, 2014October 8, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

WATER
from above or below?

So we are still trying to figure out the logistics of building our own farm. We’re excited. We are hoping to move early 2017. We are working on alternative methods for everything: building, fencing, furniture, electric & sewer. Then there’s the issue of water. I can’t WATER goats and chickens and lamb or US without the water portion of the equation. And while a stream is lovely, there are laws about permanently diverting water that merely goes through your property. So my options are well water or cistern water. Both have to be pumped and filtered for different reasons. Decisions, decisions, decisions. This next Call recognizes water as the essence of life. I’m thirsty…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Water

ELIGIBILITY: All artists age 18+

MEDIA: Open to any painting, drawing, mixed media, photography or digital medium.

THEME: Work should connect the viewer with the essences of life: water. The work can reflect on the simplicity of a single drop to the power of a raging ocean. It is the most powerful force on earth. It can humble us in the wake of a storm, provide us with endless energy. It is necessary for our survival. It can be the most destructive force on earth, and its beauty cannot be denied. All life on earth is connected by the need for water. Artists throughout history have captured it in all of its forms: drops, rain, storms, streams, lakes, rivers and oceans.

“I have always believed in establishing the sky tone, in general, as soon as possible. In sea painting the rest depends upon it because of the element of reflection.” — Frederick Waugh

CAKE,

Do you know what you call a spice cupcake without the cream cheese frosting? A breakfast muffin. My husband is dubious, but I say the notions of breakfast, lunch, supper and dinner foods are abstract at best. Why must it be eggs for breakfast? And how much difference is there between banana bread and carrot cake, really? Mmmhmm. This next Call is looking for the abstract, and they DON’T mean carrot cake OR banana bread. Take a look…

It is in our own time that we have become aware of pure aesthetic considerations.
Art never can be imitation.” — Hans Hofmann

NOTIFICATION: September 19, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $15 per entry (No limit on the number of entries that can be submitted)

CALL for ENTRIES: Still Life

WATERMELON
for miles

I cannot eat enough watermelon these days. And, I am intrigued by the variances. My town has ONE grocery store, and the markings indicate that most of the watermelons they carry come from a single source. So how is it that 3 melons of equal ripeness bought on 3 different days taste SO different? One is super sweet, one in grainy & one is ripe, but tangy. This next Call is for Still Life where the presence of fruit is ubiquitous. Did you every notice how rarely you see watermelon in those paintings? Contemplate that when you choose your subject matter…

EGGY

How is it that quiche became girly food? I was at a cafe recently that specializes in quiche. The waitress was reciting the day’s specials to a neighboring table of guests when the man interrupted her to say, “I’m not interested in quiche; I’m a MAN.” Really? It is eggs, cream and cheese. I thought, “Maybe it is due to the pie form.” But, men eat pie, right? I don’t understand his reasoning, but I restrained myself from asking for the sake of the man sitting at my table. Maybe this next Call is looking for the quiche-goodness in women only. Maybe. Investigate…

I’ll take the Abstracted Caesar–hold the deconstruction. I love it when culinary lingo takes a weird side trek. Apparently the minute difference is that deconstructed food is technically a dish with ALL of its components separated. Meanwhile, abstracted food features only the main components separated out. Hilarious. In the meantime, this next Call wants your Abstract work, not deconstructive work. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Abstraction

Moving beyond verisimilitude abstraction frees the artist from the object. This opens the door for a vast variety of visual interpretations which indeed makes abstract art the most challenging. The artist’s facility with the materials & focus on surface makes abstraction particularly interesting today. But w/o personal content, symbolism or “event”, it risks becoming conceptually mundane & void of meaning.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to US artists

MEDIA: Printmaking, drawing, painting, bookmaking, collage, photography & 3D

DEADLINE: August 31, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $45 Non-member up to 3 / $35 SCAL Members ($20 fee/box for shipped work)

JUROR: Tobin Keller is an artist and educator who works and teaches in Northern California. His artwork is very much influenced by the community & natural beauty which surrounds him. Tobin received his Bachelor of Media Arts from Emily Carr University in Vancouver, British Columbia and holds a MFA in Illustration from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. He currently instructs courses at Mendocino College in Ukiah & works as a freelance illustrator & muralist.

AWARDS: The Juror will grant $1,000 in Awards

SALES: 45% commission to Santa Cruz Art League or 30% commission (for SCAL Members).
