CALL for ENTRIES: Paducah Photo 2014

Posted on March 26, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

PIE
with a side
of bourbon

We’re only a few weeks out from the Kentucky Derby. And while I am not an avid follower of horse racing, I’ll take any excuse to eat Derby Pie. Kentucky is famous for originating a lot of foods, actually. The Hot Brown and Mutton BBQ are just a tiny corner of the paddock. This next Call is from Paducah (Kentucky), a 3 hours drive from Louisville (the home of the Derby), but I’m betting I can still get Derby Pie there. Don’t miss this great show opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Inside Out

Posted on March 24, 2014March 31, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

CHICKEN SALAD
rodent on the side

In a former life, I worked as a sous chef on a charter sailboat in the Carribean for a peg-legged captain with a Sharpie parrot tattoo on his head. It is all strangely true. That WAS my official job title…the rest too. What I really did was spoon homemade chicken salad into avocado halves. I served it to wealthy day trippers along with a cross-hatched mango half turned inside out, known as a hedgehog. Sous chef? Semantics I say. This next Call wants your version of inside out, but I’m thinking they aren’t looking for mango hedgehogs. That’s just a theory, but you should investigate for yourself…

CALL for ENTRIES: Art in the Garden

here a veggie
THERE A VEGGIE
everywhere a veggie

I am running out of time to find a place to plant a garden. When I moved to a smaller home while we searched for a new home or property to build on, I knew I wouldn’t be able to plant here. So, I may have to resort to a window garden and a few containers this year. I could live with mostly herbs and lettuce as long a my husband could coax tomatoes out of the containers. Tomatoes hate me; don’t ask. Vegetables are my interpretation of a garden. This next Call wants your interpretation of a garden. Don’t dismiss this one without investigating…

CALL for ENTRIES: Sense of Place 2014

Posted on March 19, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

FRIENDLY FRUIT
in a small world

Grocery shopping is often a small world experience for me. I’ll be thinking of having teriyaki wings, and my husband will come home with the chicken. Or, I’ll be dreaming of pineapple-infused rice for my salmon, and my stop at the grocery store with produce a beautifully ripe pineapple that just happens to be on sale. I’m just lucky that way, I suppose. Just the other day, I was thinking of a couple of pieces I saw in someone’s personal art collection, and what do you know–the juror pops up in this call. It’s a small world…

BUNS

I’m beginning to love baking. I spent years convinced I couldn’t do it, but now that it is even more complicated due to dietary restriction, it is suddenly getting easier. Chocolate tortes, coconut custards, even my own crackers and granola bars are coming from my oven. It is gratifying to be inspired by something I never thought was a part of my skill set. This next Call could be just the inspiration you need to try a new process. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: RE: Tale

Posted on March 13, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

how to get rid of
CRABS

Seafood usually conjures the image of a beach-front town for most, but I always think of Savannah, Georgia. I’m not crazy about sand, so I’d spend my lunchtime at the River House over a bowl of lobster & crab bisque over a sandy crab boil at the beach any day. Going to the opening of this next Call would be the perfect excuse to put away some seafood. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Non-Fiction Gallery (Savannah, GA) for RE: Tale. Only $20 to enter, great juror & gallery, AND the theme leaves lots of room for interpretation…

CALL for ENTRIES:
RE: Tale

Everybody has a story to tell. We are constantly creating tales in our heads. They might be our own doing, they might be partially vicarious or perhaps completely borrowed. These accounts often get restructured and retold, evolving each time. This is not unlike contemporary art, which by nature constantly strives for reinterpretation.

Fitting the concept of something that is partially untrue in a gallery called “Non-Fiction” seems to be ill-fitting. However, borrowing from the gallery’s vision statement, everybody’s tales, whether personal or fictitious, “inspire life-changing dialogue.” After all, Aesop never needed a true story to communicate his vision.

In today’s contemporary art scene, artists have deconstructed the idea of a story to fit their medium and surface preferences. This juried exhibition strives to showcase the breadth of interpretations of the concept of “visual storytelling.”

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: March 28, 2014

NOTIFICATION: March 31, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $20 for up to 3, $5 ea. add’l

JUROR: The show will be juried by a combination of Non-Fiction delegates and guest juror MAC, originator of the RE: Tale concept & show. Originally from Venezuela, MAC is a sequential illustrator interested in the contemporary development of storytelling. After pursuing degrees in Illustration Design & Sequential arts, he endeavored in museum studies & gallery management, sparking a fascination in the way artist adapt their skills & disciplines in order to communicate a story.

SALES: Gallery sales commission is 30% of the retail price named by the artist.

CALL for ENTRIES: Hue

Posted on March 11, 2014March 11, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

anything but the
WHITE TABLE

I am addicted to salt. I am. I’ve given up most vices, but salt is here to stay. I have unnaturally low blood pressure (70/50), and my doctor suspects that is WHY I crave salt. So what does one do when faced with a salt addiction? Become a salt aficionado, of course. There is a rainbow-hued world of salt options out there. My current favorite is Hawaiian alaea salt which derives its pinkish or brownish hue from it’s volcanic clay rich in iron oxide. This next Call is all about the hue as well. Hue CAN tell the difference, hehehe…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Hue. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: Please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. I have a soft spot for this gallery, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Hue

Color in photography has symbolism and meaning that travels beyond what you see.

More than the combination of red, green, and blue or cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, color is a visual tool for non-verbal communication: a viewer’s perception and connection to an image can be significantly enhanced by a certain hue.

Strip away the subject matter from a photograph, and what is left behind? Two things. The underlying geometry of the photo, its composition or balance, and the color. The design and geometry make an image coalesce, become solid, and enduring. Whereas the color carries the opposite message, one of transience and impermanence. That’s because colors are not inherent in objects, but change and evolve with the changing light – and we photographers know, light is always changing.

Hues must contrast or complement one another to create a successful image, a delicate dance of visual balance. For this exhibit we are looking for works that exemplify the innate power of color. Images that drive us through hue to an emotive response.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: April 16, 2014

NOTIFICATION: April 23, 2014

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 for $24 US for on-line & $29 by email

I’M HUNGRY

Would you eat something with no nutritional value just for the sake of eating if you could? I LOVE to eat, but I’m not sure how much I would love it if I didn’t think even the most indulgent of desserts was secretly fueling my ability to live. For example, would you eat a snack if it tasted great but happen to be made of paper? Not rice paper, not seaweed paper–PAPER paper. Check out Slim Chips–interesting experiment. This next Call strikes me as a much better use of paper. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Curious Camera

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

RED, WHITE
and curious

Food deprivation is not new to me. In the South, women are born dieters, as was I for half my years. I no longer participate, opting for whole foods and a healthier self image. But, I was still dumbfounded when I read a study that proposes eating from a red dish, as opposed to the white ones I currently use, might result in smaller consumption. Human beings are a curious sort aren’t we? Maybe it is the association with stop signs and traffic lights. Who knows? This next Call is curious in its own way, and leaves room for you to stretch your talents. Don’t assume; investigate instead…

Check out this Call for Entries from Artseye Gallery (Tuscon, AZ) for Curious Camera. A photo show with great categories, and only $10 to enter. PLEASE don’t discount this show if you are NOT a photographer. Take a look first…
