CALL for ENTRIES: The Portrait

Posted on February 24, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

PURPLE,
not GREEN

Recently I called eggplant sexy, and I am still receiving email about that one. So chew on this one: brussel sprouts are sexy too. There. I said it. I mean it. You don’t have to like it…or them. The only thing that makes me hesitate to say my veggie self portrait would be a brussel sprout is, of course, they are green and round. I strive not to be green or round. This next call is all about portraits. And I still think eggplant is sexy, folks…

Check out this Call for Entries for The Portrait: Up Close & Personal from MPLS Photo Center (Minneapolis, MN). This is a great venue and a great juror. Don’t miss this opportunity!

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Portrait:
Up Close & Personal

Portraits tell a story, depict a character, reveal emotion, demonstrate sensitivity and illustrate an intimate connection with your subject.

The greatest challenge and most important element in a successful portrait is an intimate connection with the subject. The ways in which you explore this connection, going beneath the surface and finding what is the essence of the portrait determines its success as a representation of your subject.

Explore different styles and methods of making revealing portraits that reflect not just the subject but you the photographer as well. Demonstrate the sensitivity necessary to move beyond literal renderings to more intimate portraits. Create images that go below the surface and penetrate deeply into a subject’s character.

MEDIA: Photography

CALL for ENTRIES: National Photography Award

Posted on February 22, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

FAT IS FLAVOR

Sadly, most of the indulgent foods I love are not necessarily the most healthy. During cold weather, I always dream of sitting under a palm tree and drinking a frozen coconut concoction, umbrella-optional, while the palm fronds shade me from the sun. Coconut milk has a fat content of approximately 17%. Uh huh. Well, maybe this next show will give you a chance to enjoy the palm tree part, and coconut could be a great way to celebrate…

REMINDER: Spontaneous

Posted on February 21, 2012February 21, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

a BERRY in a BASKET
worth TWO in a BUSH?

I still dislike the lack of spontaneity involved in home-cooking. What I am I going to do with all the extra food I grow this year? My neighbors would say “can it.” Mmmhmm. Need I remind you of how little time I have as it is? Maybe I will spontaneously leave baskets of home-grown goodies on strangers’ doorsteps. This next show expects spontaneity from YOU. TIME IS RUNNING OUT…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Spontaneous. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($20), and I love that they will provide free matting and framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Spontaneous

Spontaneity is the hallmark for great documentary and street photography where the moments of life, often ironic, poignant, emotionally charged, tragic or absurd are frozen.

Photography provides the means to capture a moment but which moment makes all the difference. Well known masters include Henri Cartier-Bresson and W. Eugene Smith with recent discoveries such as Vivian Maier and Frank Oscar Larson adding to a long list of great photographers.

Many of the scenes captured by practitioners of this art, with the possible exception of war and extreme sports documentary, pass before us every day, but we do not see.

This exhibit is dedicated to those who strive to see, realize and then manifest vision and moment into an image so that we can all see what is right in front of us or inaccessible in some other way. Showing us the remarkable moments that make up the, often unconscious, Human Experience.

ELIGIBILITY:
Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If you are younger, you must have a parent or legal guardian make the submission for you.

MEDIA:

SNAP or
HALF-RUNNER?

I can’t decide what to grow in my new garden. As I have mentioned, ad nauseum, I am moving to a bigger place. AND, I am getting back the one thing I’ve really missed since I’ve lived on top of a mountain…a yard. Do I grow lettuce or spinach or tomatoes or cucumbers or green beens or blackberries or pumpkins or herbs? I have a finite amount of time. Can anyone tell me what to grow that won’t need my assistance? I suspect I’ll be waiting for that email for quite some time. This next call wants your perspective on gardens. Take a look…

I am not a coffee drinker, but most of you know that. Truth is…I really dislike coffee. I rarely mention this small fact because it apparently disqualifies me as a foodie, or so I’ve been told.

CALL for ENTRIES: Self-Portraiture

Posted on February 10, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

PURPLE and
CURVY

Eggplants are sexy. Okay, each to their own, but how do you resist the deep aubergine color, the shiny firm skin and the mild but complex flavor. If I were a vegetable, an eggplant wouldn’t be a bad thing to be. This next show is looking for self-portraiture, but I’m not sure they are looking for my life as an eggplant. Why don’t you give it a shot? No pun intended.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, VA) for Both sides of the Lens: Self-Portraiture. I love portraiture, and this subject will do anything you ask. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Both sides of the Lens:
Self-Portraiture

A photographer’s most reliable subject is his or her self. By turning the camera on oneself the photographer is brought out from behind their lens, presenting themselves to the world as both artist and subject.

Self-portraiture is often used to explore and manipulate identity. The photographer invites judgement and critique on not only their artistic message, but also their appearance and demeanor. For this exhibition, The Kiernan Gallery seeks self-portraits that provide insight into the artist; their stories, struggles and triumphs.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA:
All forms of photography

DEADLINE:
March 2, 2012

CALL for ENTRIES: Vibrant!

Posted on February 1, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ARE YOU
blue?

I do not understand the fascination with glowing beverages. I’m not interested in drinking soda that looks like antifreeze or cocktails that look like glow sticks. Glowing food makes me think of barium x-rays. Do you know the most popular way to get the barium inside? MmmHmm… Think about that the next time the vibrant glow of a cocktail lures you to imbibe. This next call encourages a more positive view of the vibrant, but then again, they aren’t asking you to eat it either. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Through a Lens– Vibrant

Vibrant and vibrate have the same latin root word: “vibrare” meaning to move rapidly and rhythmically to and fro. While vibrate means virtually the same thing in English, vibrant has additional connotations as it applies to brightness of light or color, or as in how alive or energetic is the given subject – literally vibrating with life. “

Through a Lens: Vibrant! gives the photographer several options. Vibrant could apply to a light or hue in the composition, or it could apply to the subject, as to a person or in a street. It could even be stretched to apply to the process – check out the vibrance adjustment layer in photoshop. Which definition of “Vibrant!” will you choose?

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: February 29, 2012

Sometime early in his photo career he decided to “stay home” and shoot only in California’s native habitats. He still shoots mainly with a traditional view camera and film, in both 4×5 and 8×10 formats. Audubon, The California Academy of Sciences, The Nature Conservancy, Sierra Club, Sunset, Westcliffe, and The Wilderness Society have published his work.

Photographer Michael Collopy is one of the preeminent portrait photographers of our time and has gained worldwide recognition for his commissioned portraits of hundreds of public figures. His portfolio includes portraits of world leaders such as Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev and Margaret Thatcher and entertainers like Ella Fitzgerald, Mick Jagger, B. B. King and Luciano Pavarotti. Collopy’s photos have been published worldwide in numerous books, magazines and newspapers.

Kate Jordahl exhibits her enthusiasm and passion for the art of photography in her work. In her travels and photography, she searches for the places where the spirit of the earth and the human spirit come together. Using both film and digital capture, Kate stretches her images to beyond the expected representation to a magical and reverent imaging of the land.

CALL for ENTRIES: Night Light

Posted on January 22, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

Muncha,
Muncha, Yawn…

How does the older generation eat at 4:30 in the afternoon? I am hoping it is just a Golden-Girls-esque stereotype. I prefer to eat late night, but then again, I prefer to do everything at night. Everything tastes better after 8pm, but that may account for the reality of my lifelong struggle with the size of my rear end. My husband likes to jokingly refer to me as his “vampire-honey,” but that is clearly untrue…vampires don’t eat food. But I would look cute as Countess Chocula. Well, we all know I am a little hyper-focused on eating. Anyhoo, I digress. This next call wants to see your vision of the night. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Night Light

Night photography reveals a world that we do not consciously see and offers photographers unique creative opportunities.

Night and day, dark and light – one implies the absence of the other. But like yin yang, each has a bit of the other. The surprising thing to first time night photographers is how their images reveal things that the mind’s eye does not see. Different light sources reveal their true colors. Compared to daylight, directed and weaker light creates drama, contrast, mystery and mood.

The dynamic range of light at night tends to be more in line with our tools abilities. Of course there are technical challenges with shooting in low light, but also tremendous creative opportunities. That’s what Darkroom Gallery wants to show with this exhibit.

Do you work with existing light – or do you introduce your own? Maybe you paint with light emitting light brushes. How have you approached shooting at night to express your vision? They want to see.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

My COUS COUS

I read alot of facebook posts slamming folks that post cell phone pics of their food. Sorry, I do it too. See my Cayman Islands lunch pictured left. Be patient with the food-obsessed; we’re people too. Our exaggerated sense of self-importance has us convinced that you will be so happy for us when you see our latest creation or out-to-eat treat. I am certain there is a diagnosis out there that I haven’t heard of. Be kind. This next show might be willing to take some of those food pics off our hands, though. Whatcha think?

Posted on December 6, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CHEESY TRUTH

French food is the gold standard. You don’t have to agree with me; it is objective fact. It isn’t all about sauce. I believe it is all about the cheese. The French boast 350 to 400 TYPES of cheese… maybe 1000. I haven’t tried them all yet; it is on my bucket list. Until I try them all and pronounce my favorite, give Sainte-Maure de Touraine a try. Could you pick some up for me when you’re at this opening?

Julia Margaret Cameron Award

ELIGIBILITY: Professional and non professional female artists from all countries.

MEDIA: Photography. Traditional, contemporary, avant-garde, creative and experimental works that include old and new processes, mixed techniques, and challenging personal, emotional or political statements will be welcome.

DEADLINE: December 30th, 2011, at 11:59pm PST

NOTIFICATION: March 8th, 2012 (honoring the International Women’s Day)

ENTRY FEE: $40 for the first 3 images; $10 each additional image

JUROR: Amber Terranova is the photo editor for Photo District News. She worked previously for New York magazine and Outside. She holds a BFA in photography from the School of Visual Arts, Manhattan. Amber has assisted with programming at Center, a Santa Fe-based non-profit organization that supports photographers. Her taste in photography tends toward emerging and established artists with strong personal projects, surprising content and evidence of political or social engagement. She’s most drawn to introspective, provocative work.

Dina Bova was born in Moscow and currently lives in Israel. Her images have been awarded in Px3, Hasselbald Masters, Sony Awards, 1st edition of the JMCA, Nikon, PDN’s World in Focus, and have won 21 Gold medals in international photo-contests under FIAP/PSA patronage in USA, Austria, France, England, Croatia, Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel. Her art is a world of allegories, metaphors and multifaceted associations. She thinks that it’s not important how an artist creates his work. It can be created with any tool and any medium, but it should speak for itself and convey a very special mood. It should need no explanation, no elaboration and no apologies. It can be very aesthetic or the opposite of it. For Dina, the most important thing is freeing the imagination.

AWARDS: The Julia Margaret Cameron Award will be given to 12 women photographers which will be invited to exhibit (and sell) their work in a very selective collective exhibition in Paris during 2013, honoring one hundredth year of the birth of Robert Capa, co-founder of Magnum Photos and famous war photojournalist. WPGA will take care of the framing and matting, as well as all gallery expenses. A catalog will be printed, and all 12 awardees will receive one free copy.

SALES: Exhibitors will receive 40% of the sales, 20% will be reserved for the gallery/organizers, and 40% will be donated to a charitable organization selected by the awardees.
