DON’T CROSS
the tea

I am mystified by hot tea. Sometimes I like it; sometimes I don’t. Mostly, I don’t. I think it is just years and years of habitually drinking tea cold that has made the warm version so very odd to me. But then again, sometimes I’m not that crazy about iced tea either. I think that in the end, it all comes down to the water. Good water, good tea. This next Call is all about the water. I like this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries for Open Water from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry is very reasonable, and the juror is active and easily researched through her work and her gallery. Take a look…

Open Water

 

Water has a long history as subject matter for artists. It is revered for its beauty as well as respected and feared for its unpredictable nature.

Water carves our landscapes, making rivers and streams. It provides sustenance, recreation, and transport. Whether contained in swimming pools, bathtubs, or fountains, or freely flowing waterfalls, currents, and tides, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images of literal and metaphoric interpretations for Open Water.

Open to all artists

All photographic media are encouraged.

NOTIFICATION:
Approx. 8 days later

ENTRY FEE:

JUROR: Jennifer Schwartz is the owner of Jennifer Schwartz Gallery and the creator and curator of the online project, The Ten. Jennifer Schwartz co-founded the Fraction Retreats program, and she regularly participates in portfolio reviews such as PhotoNOLA, PhotoLucida, Atlanta Celebrates Photography, FotoFest and others.

Jennifer Schwartz is originally from Richmond, Virginia, and has her BA from Colgate University and her MA from Georgia State University. The owner of a successful commercial photography business for ten years, she opened her gallery in 2009 to give Atlanta’s thriving photography community a venue to showcase the work of emerging photographers.

AWARDS: All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice will also be announced and both winners will receive a free copy of the catalogue.

SALES: Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works. But, they DO still have incentive to sell your work. The Kiernan Gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.
