REMINDER: The Human Form

Posted on November 27, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BERRY me
in BRIE

I believe that I am what I have eaten. I have learned that the contents of my diet directly informs my mood, energy level, and even my creative tendencies. I love fried chicken as much as the next sad and depressed person, but I have learned that fried chicken doesn’t make it better. A crusty loaf, ripe wedge of brie and a handful of raspberries can transform my body and my mind. If you believe that people are what they eat, then this next Call is a smorgasboard. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for The Human Form. 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…

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Human Form

Our bodies:
forbidden, subverted, suppressed.

Our bodies:
elevated, venerated, and sanctified.

The human form is unceasingly beautiful, complex, and remarkable. It is one of the very few things that all of us has in common, and yet is a source of perpetual cultural, spiritual, and scientific dissension. What better proof of this diversity than through the Photographic Arts; the Human Form has been its eternally devoted, perpetual muse. The body insights love, loss, envy and greed, devotion and esteem – as one of our most valued photographic subjects, our images do the same.

The Human Form,
simple yet subtly complex,
always present yet hidden,
expose your vision.

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.

CALL for ENTRIES: Nature Undisturbed 2012

Posted on November 25, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BOTTOMS UP

Call me closed minded, but there are somethings that I am not interested in eating. Nature is in my face here in the Great Smoky Mountains, and we eat local honey for its ability to help reduce our allergies. However, I am not drinking poison ivy tea everyday for 6 weeks to reduce my chance of breaking out in a rash. People do it. I went on a guided hike and listened to my naturalist explain the ritual to me. Call me crazy, but you shouldn’t eat anything whose name starts with “poison”. Some things ought not be disturbed. This Call for Entries is proof that others think the same. Read on…

Check out this Call for Entries from Dogwood Gallery for the 4th showing of Nature, Undisturbed. Here’s a chance to show your work and help out nature conservation at the same time. Bonus…last year they sold a significant portion of the work! Take a look…

REMINDER: The Built Environment

Posted on November 22, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

GLORIOUS
GÂTEAUX!

Build it, and I will eat. I stand in awe of pastry chefs. Most of the ones I know are delightfully batty (industry rumor is that the flour makes you a little off center). I love that their creations are often part art, part architechture. If you don’t think how something looks affects how it tastes, you are clearly eating ugly food. This next Call wants to see the built environment that inspires you. But HURRY, the deadline is fast approaching…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery in Vermont called The Built Environment. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Darkroom offers free framing & matting on accepted work!

* Editor’s Note: You guys always knock it out of the park with this gallery. Please make sure that you tell them that you found the show on Art & Art Deadlines so they know that all the talent is here at AAAD.

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
The Built Environment

Images that capture a vision of the man made world around us.

We’ve been documenting the built environment since the beginnings of photography. It’s natural – our lives are entwined with and dependent upon structures of all kinds. Let us examine the genius designs, abundant materials both found and fabricated, engineering feats, beauty and function, of our constructed environments. Technical mastery has much to do with a great architectural photograph, but also an understanding of the architect’s vision, and/or the humanity that invigorates and utilizes its spaces.

Whether a skyscraper or a shed, chasm span or walking bridge, from convenience store to industrial complex, public or personal (heck, an outhouse is a pertinent structure), and even the remains of such, Darkroom Gallery is looking forward to featuring your built environments.

JUROR: With an engineering degree from Trinity College (Dublin) and an Architect/Author father (Raymond McGrath), Norman McGrath was primed for educated view of his subject. He has been photographing architecture and interiors for decades, capturing the work of major architects and designers and their well-known works. His images have been featured in the foremost architectural publications, as well as his popular book, “Photographing Buildings Inside Out”. The American Institute of Architects selected McGrath for its Institute Honor award. McGrath continues to author and co-author books illustrated with architectural photography (“Manhattan Skyscrapers”, “Skyscraper Rivals”, and New York’s Pennsylvania Station”) as well as educate and inspire students of photography at the Maine Photographic Workshops, the Palm Beach Photo Workshops, and the Calumet Institute of the University of Maryland.

CALL for ENTRIES: Family Dynamics

Posted on November 11, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PESKY PESTO

Families have definite food personalities. My in-laws love carbs…and cream of mushroom soup. My mother loves pork in all its various forms, from chops to bacon.

Family Dynamics

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists.

The BEAUTY
of HOME

My mother makes the ugliest chocolate chip cookies. They look like lumpy rocks, and as a teenager, I always longed for a mom that made Martha-Stewart-worthy sugar cookies decorated with colored sugar and dregees. But alas, I got a mom that makes ugly cookie that may taste better than anything I have ever put in my mouth! Home doesn’t always come in the pretty package you dream about, but it is still home. BTW, the secret to my mom’s cookies is semi-sweet mini chips and walnuts instead of pecans. This Call asks you to investigate what HOME means to you …good or bad.

RUFF SPUDS

My dogs love raw potatoes. I don’t get it. They love lots of raw veggies: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, romaine spines…and potatoes. Now, I’m not one of those dog owners that feeds my dogs Doritos or junk food, but I must admit that when I’m cooking, they DO make great garbage disposals for veggie scraps. They are rescued mutts, and I love them– enough to scramble them an egg occasionally, too. There I’ve admitted it. This next Call gives you a chance to show your love for your rescued pups. Sit, stay and read…

Check out this Call for Entries for Rest in Show from the Linus Galleries’ Long Beach Art Gallery (Signal Hill, CA) that will take place at the same time as the Eukanuba National Championship Dog Show at the Long Beach Convention Center. Take a look…

TICK TOCK,
TICK TOCK,
TICK TOCK

I prefer immediate gratification, be it chocolate or laundry. I simply don’t like to wait. That is one of the many reasons that I don’t bake chocolate soufflés–because I cannot handle the agony of seeing if it will turn out beautiful and puffed or flat and dreary. I lose enthusiasm for the whole laundry process during the dry time too (not that I am generally very enthused about it to start with). Although, I will take soufflé baking over laundry any day of the week. This next Call is a perfect opportunity for you to contemplate the passage of time, and not just of food and laundry. Think about it…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Kiernan Gallery in Lexington, VA for In Time. This entry fee is low, and I love the concept of contemplating the passage of time, a reflection if you will. Take a look!

CALL for ENTRIES: In Time

Time is an essential element of science, philosophy, and religion. Nonetheless its definition has continuously eluded the greatest minds. For In Time, The Kiernan Gallery welcomes images that interpret and define Time as subject matter, whether it be in a historical context of the then and now, time lapse, events and the interval between them, of a crucial moment, preserved for eternity. In a sense, every photograph is an embodiment of time.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists internationally.

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE:
October 26, 2011

NOTIFICATION:
On or around November 3, 2011

ENTRY FEE:
$25 for up to $5 images, then $5 per additional image up to a total of 10 images.
