CALL for ENTRIES: Cork St. Open

3rds & 4ths

We don’t have leftovers at our house. Any additional food that isn’t scarfed up by my ravenous 13-year-old or my string-bean skinny husband ends up being eaten as a lunch within a couple of days or as an additional ingredient in dinner that week. I’m not sure why people object to leftovers so much. Maybe it is a marketing problem. We should take a nod from the British and start giving dishes made from leftovers great names like Bubble and Squeak. This next Call is your chance to have a showing in London. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Cork Street Open Exhibition held at the Gallery at Cork Street in London. Enter almost any media online for as little as £20 (~$30 USD) for your shot at this London show! Don’t miss out…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Cork Street
Open Exhibition

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All media except reproductions, film & video

DEADLINE: June 2, 2013

NOTIFICATION: June 21, 2013

ENTRY FEE: £20 for one (approx. $30.68 USD), £30 for up to 3, and £50 for up to 6 entries.

JUROR: The panel of judges is headed each year by Louis Singh, director of Beaux Arts Gallery London. In addition, four experts from the contemporary art world are also invited to participate, bringing the total on the panel to five. Members have included established artists, gallery owners, art critics and writers, art dealers, art enthusiasts and celebrities who may or may not be publicly recognized as accomplished artists.

Updates to the jury list are found here.

Louis Singh says, “St Ives in the 1970s was a somewhat lazier place than today. Late morning deals were customarily made with cigarette in one hand and glass of sherry in the other. Back then my father had the Wills Lane gallery which ensured my mind was constantly flooded with images of the St Ives School as soon as my eyes had opened.

“When I was ten my parents opened the Beaux Arts gallery in Bath which continued to nurture these Cornish roots. These days with a sister gallery in London, minus the sherry, not much has changed. I busy myself by keeping the gallery from growing old by steering some youth and raw contemporary talent, towards its doors.”

AWARDS: Grand Prize Award £1,000 Cash Prize & £1,000 worth of Materials and Services.

For a complete list of awards, click here.

SALES: All works must be for sale at the exhibition, prices set by the artist, and Cork Street Open Exhibition will retain 40% of the selling price.

CALL for ENTRIES: Sense of Place 2013

Posted on April 3, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

CALIFORNIA
dreaming?

I was out of town this week, and traveling makes eating out necessary. But, I was trying to behave so I’ll fit back into my Spring clothes again soon. At one restaurant, I ordered a California Chicken Salad which included mixed greens, mandarin oranges, dried cranberries, blue cheese, candied pecans, croutons, grilled chicken and balsamic vinaigrette. Mine was sans the blue cheese & pecans, but I am still wondering what made it Californian. The oranges? I still don’t know. Check out this next Call with a name that references place, but it isn’t really the theme. Interesting…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mosquito Season

FLEXING MY
mussels

So, I’ve been out of town without my husband. That’s mean’s I have consumed huge amounts of shellfish. He’s allergic, and when he’s not around, I tend to over indulge. I don’t know how anyone lives with wine-steamed mussels with garlic butter. How does so much flavor exist in such a tiny package? Is it wrong that I hope to travel again soon just to have mussels? Maybe so. This next Call is all about packing a big wallop in a small package. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Social Media

NO JELLY
with my satay, please

Food has interrelation–be it natural or forced. In the US, peanut butter is only naturally related to grape jelly, but it is fantastic with raspberry jam. PB&J has a distinct meaning apart from its separate components. My immediate connection with peanut butter is peanut sauce, but my connection to PB&J is childhood comfort. Odd, eh? This next show is about the interrelation of work, one deriving meaning from the other. I like this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Northbrook Public Library (Northbrook, IL) for their annual juried show, called Social Media Artshow this year. The entry fee is reasonable. There is NO COMMISSION taken by the show promoters, and this year’s theme is an interesting twist from the norm! Don’t miss this one…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Social Media Artshow 2013

Art is the original social media: it reaches out and draws together, trying to make connections. It incites discussion and draws meaning through relationships. We are looking for works that are either created in a series or multiple elements (like diptychs) that generate meaning through their interrelation, or works that react to existing famous artworks. The mathematics are simple: one is quotidian and two is exponential.

ELIGIBILITY: The show is open to artists 18 years and older.

MEDIA: 2 and 3 dimensional art executed within 3 years of entry date and not previously been displayed in the library.

DEADLINE: May 31, 2013

ENTRY FEE: Entry fee is $35. Checks payable to the Northbrook Public Library. A maximum of 3 entries per artist fee will be judged.

SALES & COMMISSION: The NPL does NOT charge a commission for show participation. All sales inquires will be referred to the artists. Contact information, provided by the artist, will be listed in the online and printed show catalog to facilitate sales. The only sale to be handled by the NPL will be the purchase of the first-place award winner.

AWARDS: One (1) $2000 purchase prize, one (1) second place cash award of $1000, one (1) third place cash award of $500, and two (2) Viewer’s Choice cash awards of $200.

I seem to have lost the ability to properly cook chicken. I’m still spot on with fish, but chicken and beef are a lost art for me.

I’ve never been accused of being overly maternal. However, my kid will be 14 years old soon, so I must have done something right. He now eats brussel sprouts and asparagus. Another point in my favor–well, OUR favor. It was actually my husband that spent the first 12 years of our kid’s life being the more maternal one. To hell with gender roles.

My fantasy meal changes. Some days, mac ‘n’ cheese and moon pies take the cake. But on days like today, I would kill for a dozen wine-steamed mussels with garlic butter and fresh parsley.

TWO anchovies

One of my most prized possessions is a stolen recipe for Caesar Dressing. A restaurant in Savannah, GA served Caesar salad that was created table side. My mother and I drove 100 miles just to have lunch. After telling many servers over the years of our 100-mile trek, I convinced one to give me the illicit recipe–strictly against their non-disclosure statement. It is fantastic. I keep the recipe, hand-written by the server, in a special place, home only to my inherited family recipes. I could re-type it, but that would be a dishonor to the server that so kindly risked his job for my obsessive palate. This next Call is all about the handwriting. Take a look…
