OPEN CALL: Ace Gallery

dip or
DRIZZLE

My new ace-in-the-whole dish is for last minute parties and desserts is anything topped with chocolate glaze. 3/4 cup of dark chocolate chips melted with 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil. From cheesecake to strawberries, it works on everything. Warm, it is like velvet. Cold, it is a beautiful shell. Here’s hoping everything turns up aces for you with this next Call. Remember, nothing great happens unless you TRY. Investigate for yourself…

Check out this ongoing Open Call from the Ace Gallery (Los Angeles & Beverly Hills, CA) for Curatorial Planning. Calls like this are one of the answers to the question I hear most often, “How do I get a solo show?”. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: 2014 Choice

Posted on January 21, 2014January 26, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

LETTING
go

I am trying to curb my collecting of all things culinary. I moved to a smaller house to purposefully downsize in preparation for building a smaller sustainable green home in which I hope to live the rest of my life. Passing up vintage deviled egg plates and a new pate knife pattern has reminded me that there is a reward to self restraint. One of the rewards…I can afford to collect more art, ha. This next Call is really ALL about the collectors. Here’s hoping they collect YOUR art…

Here’s an interesting Call for Entries from the Sylvia White Gallery (Ventura, CA) for the 2014 Collectors’ Choice. This could be your last chance to show in this space without being one of their represented artists. Investigate for your self…

CALL for ENTRIES:
2014 Collectors’ Choice

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Paintings, mixed media, works on paper, photography, sculpture, installation, digital, video and performance.

DEADLINE: March 1, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $35 (USD) for 3 images, $5 each additional image, maximum 10.

JURORS: Each art collector may select one or more pieces by artists that are not currently represented in their private collection. Collectors’ names will be kept anonymous until the opening reception. Editor’s Note: My assumption is these are collectors that purchase work in the Sylvia White Gallery. Because they are anonymous, the best recommendation I have for research is to spend some time investigate the artists the gallery represents, since in theory, it is their work these collectors are purchasing–at least in part.

AWARDS: Selected artists will participate in 2014 Collector’s Choice exhibit April 23rd to May 24th, 2014 at Sylvia White Gallery.

SALES: Unless otherwise specified, accepted works will be considered for sale at the price indicated and 40% commission will be retained by The Sylvia White Gallery.

a time
TO EAT

Being hungry is my nightmare. Some people are afraid of snakes or the dark or being a victim of a crime. I fear hunger. To my knowledge, there is no deep-seated hunger issues in my childhood. I just scares me. Hunger isn’t just prevalent in rural areas or third-world nations. People are hungry every where, every day, from the country to far more urban areas. I’d like to see a little more attention-getting street artists focus their work on the people in the shadow of their work that are hungry. This next show is an opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from EWNS Art Project (France) for the Tamed Urban Art exhibit. Selection for this show gets you into an online gallery, and you may additionally have the opportunity to participate in the Paris gallery exhibition. Take a look…

2013 ARTIST of the YEAR: Sima Schloss

Posted on January 10, 2014April 24, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

HAPPY NEW food YEAR!

It’s January, and we’re thrilled to be in 2014! I am joyfully looking forward to a new year. 2013 was a year of growth for my family, my art, and for AAAD. There were wonderful food highlights including a renewed interest in baking. And AAAD covered some fantastic opportunities in 2013 and even more fantastic artists. Which leads us to our proud announcement…

Today we name the
2013 Artist of the Year!

•

When AAAD began in 2009, I was determined to cover art deadlines, and more importantly, artists producing really good ART. And, after I chose a few artists, I quickly realized that the Featured Artist program needed structure, or it would never really get done on any sort of regular basis. That is how the Featured Artist Contest was born. (The Featured Artist program was retired in 2015 and replaced with the Artist of the Day program.)

The Featured Artist Page was getting crowded and each post was lessening the impact. I began archiving artists yearly, and the Artist of the Year was born.

I now give all of our Featured Artists each year notice that at the end of the year, the Artist of the Year will be determined by the number of comments on their individual Featured Artist blog posts.

Congratulations to Sima Schloss,
AAAD’s 2013 Artist of the Year

I followed up with Sima to find out what’s new: “Yay!! Thanks so much- Im so honored to be the winner!!! Whats going on now with my work now? Lets seeI am one of the winners of ArtAscent Magazine’s Dark Issue (December, 2013) ArtAscent.com, and my work ‘New Sheriff’ is featured on the cover!!! I have a group show in the works coming this Spring (details in the near future), and a collaboration in the works as well. I’m also in process of revamping my website!”

And new foods? Are there any new tasty morsels inspiring you? “I had the most incredible Brussels sprouts at my friends place the other night! I think I’ve only tried them a couple of times in my life, but these were outstanding. They were cooked in garlic & oil and had some incredible seasoning--I was in heaven! I’ve also really been into red and yellow peppers as well, they are so great with labneh (an incredible lebanese dip) hummus or guacamole.” Editor’s note: I’ve rediscovered the mini sweet peppers in my produce aisle. They have a milder flavor and crisper texture and ROCK stirfry dishes.

I have enjoyed getting to know you, Sima. I am inspired by your work. It is an expression of freedom, limitless potential and self awareness. I LOVE the work, and I’ve enjoyed forging a slow and easy friendship. YOU were my reward for choosing to feature your WORK. Thank you, Sima, for being a highlight of the AAAD year! Get to know Sima Schloss yourself.

*Editor’s Note: Sima remains one of my favorite people, and her work has grown and developed, surpassing anything I could have imagined. She was featured again in 2017 as an Artist of the Day!

getting my
GOAT

I have a significant number of friends that simply won’t cook for me. They assume, based on my writing, that I might be too discerning. It is ridiculous and unfounded, of course. I eat everything (except wheat). But many of them have read enough of my posts to feel safe if they always include a stinky cheese. And, a handful of them have read my posts closely enough to know that goat cheese is proverbial gold. If you only get one chance to make a first impression, goat cheese is always the gold standard. This next Call gives you an opportunity to see if your work is the gold standard. Please take this chance…

Check out this Call for Entries from Yamana Gold (Toronto, Ontario) for Passion to Perform. There is NO entry fee, but you only get one shot–one entry. I usually give gentle nudges to my readers, but this time, I’m just going to say it. No fee, phenomenal prizes, possible purchase awards AND they pay to ship the work. Please do your homework, take a chance, and give it a shot…

FAT free
CARB free
SUGAR free
stop

Because you know I’ve been a foodie for so many years, it should come as no surprise that my weight has fluctuated for decades. I have been everything from a size 8 to a size 24 over the years. I have given up carbs, given up fat, eaten only fruit, eaten only soup… You name it, and I’ve tried it. Nothing ever worked for long. Then I was forced to quit eating wheat, and my weight stabilizes. Go figure. I’m not a size 8, or a 24, but I haven’t gained or lost more than 2 lbs in 8 months. This next Call is all about YOUR figure. Take a look…

OPEN CALL: Flow 2014

Posted on October 31, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

RECIPE
for success

Everyone I know makes at least one dish that makes people ask, “How do you make that?” Mine has changed over the years from hollandaise sauce to creamed spinach to 40 spice hummus. Similarly, everyone who is in arts management or administration hears the same question, “How do I get a solo/group show in a gallery?” This next Call answers that question. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Embracing our Differences

Posted on October 29, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

how the
COOKIE
crumbles

I am amazed by the difference in food preferences in my own household. I thought I had everyone brainwashed to think only as I do about food. But alas, they have escaped my grasp. My son prefers Ranch dressing, and my husband will choose oatmeal raisin cookies over chocolate chip any day. I have learned to embrace our difference; after all, that leaves more chocolate chip cookies for me. This next Call allows YOU to embrace differences as well. Take a look…

Check out this great Call for Entries for the Annual Embracing our Differences Exhibit in Sarasota, FL. And in addition to possibly getting your artwork on a billboard …don’t forget there is NO ENTRY FEE!

judgement and
JUNK

I write a whole lot of crap about food. Most of it is just an off the cuff note about whatever is going on in my kitchen. But it is NEVER meant as a judgment about the way YOU eat. One of FB friends updated her status yesterday with a comment about how people who eat cheese, fruit and veggies cold, as opposed to room temp, have clearly given up on life and are just eating garbage. Really? I am sorry my cold strawberry has flagged me as a useless garbage eater. So, I want to be clear. No judgement from me. Do I want you to eat creme-filled snack cakes? No. Do I love you any less for it? No, I’m just a little jealous. This next Call is an for an all hung exhibit. No judgement there either…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art via Post for a Mail Art exhibit, book and website. There is no entry fee, and it is all hung. If mail art doesn’t excite you, think of it as a way to work through your artist block. Don’t miss this chance to participate…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Art via Post

Art via Post is a project that brings together international artists of all ages and types who send art in the form of mail. The envelope or package becomes the art itself. The envelope is the canvas. Some artists incorporate the mailing address and stamp in their work, others use the blank side as their work space. Medium types include Illustrators, calligraphers, paper artists, graffiti artists and stencilers among others. Anything goes. The message is up to the sender.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Mail Art

DEADLINE: June 1, 2014 postmarked

NOTIFICATION: None. This is an all hung exhibit

AWARDS: Be a part of the exhibit, the book & get a link back to your website from theirs.
