CALL for ENTRIES:
Still Life

From Dutch masters’ paintings to contemporary photography, the still life has played an important role in art history. This genre grants the artist complete control over their subjects, allowing unparalleled ability to select details and manipulate the scene.

Still lifes often employ symbolism, where the objects assume their own character and identity. An entire story can be told with the arrangement of a few items; toys, dolls, and household goods become surrogates, and natural life is given a persona. For Still Life: The Art of Arrangement, The Kiernan Gallery seeks evocative and symbolic still life images.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE: August 20, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Artists will be notified of accepted work via email approximately eight days after the submission deadline.

ENTRY FEE: 5 for $25, each add’l $5

TARTY!

Thanks to a warmer than usual winter, apple orchards are getting into full swing a little early this year. I am dreaming of apple pies, apple tarts, apple jellies and jams.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Terrain

Looking at both the vast and the microscopic, landscape photography takes us from backyards to national parks; from mountains to coastlines.

For Terrain, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images that explore the beauty and complexity of our landscape.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

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

NOTIFICATION: Artists will be notified of accepted work via email approximately eight days after the submission deadline.

ENTRY FEE: $25 for the first 5 images and $5 each add’l image (up to 10 images).

JUROR: Russell Joslin has worked primarily in photography beginning in the early 90’s, and has exhibited his work in solo and group shows since then.

In addition to being a photographer, Joslin is the Editor and Publisher of SHOTS Magazine, an independent, reader-supported quarterly journal of fine art photography that reaches an international audience. He lives and works in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

AWARDS: The juror will select up to 30 images for display in the main gallery, as well as up to an additional 40 for display in the online gallery. All accepted photographs are eligible for inclusion in a full color exhibition catalogue available for purchase from Blurb Books. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice award will also be announced.

CALL for ENTRIES: iSpy Cell Phone Photos

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

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?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, VA) for iSpy, a cell phone photography show. The entry fee is low, and the gallery is beautiful. Take a look…

Photography has always had a special place in art as a technology-driven medium. It has evolved from glass plates to film, to the 35mm, disposable cameras; to the digital revolution, always becoming more and more accessible.

For iSpy: Camera Phone Photography, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images taken with cell phones that span all genres of photography.

ELIGIBILITY: Photographers of all skill levels and nationalities may participate.

CALL for ENTRIES: In Time

Posted on October 3, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

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:

Her work has been described as graceful and confident. The quality and breadth of her imagery has enabled her to receive a variety of grants and sponsorships including support from Kodak and Calumet Photographic. Her work has been exhibited internationally and held in the collections of numerous museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Worcester Art Museum, and the George Eastman House of Photography.

AWARDS: The juror will select up to 30 images for display in the main gallery, as well as up to an additional 40 for display in the online gallery. All accepted photographs are eligible for inclusion in a full color exhibition catalogue available for purchase from Blurb Books.

CALL for ENTRIES: Illusion and Chemistry

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

VERY DIRTY,
PLEASE

I love the fusion of classic dishes and modern cuisine. Deconstructed dishes are a perfect example. Like the caesar salad that comes with a mound of romaine, a poached egg and a sardine on crostini. Okay, that may be a little on the fringe. Maybe the pomegranite martini is a better example…shaken, not stirred. No, I prefer classic dirty martinis with lots o’ olives. Anyway, this next Call is a perfect opportunity to learn a new process…be it old & new to you or new & new to you. Think about it…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Kiernan Gallery in Lexington, VA for Illusion and Chemistry: The Alternative Process. This entry fee is low, and I love the concept of mixing old and new. Take a look!

CALL for ENTRIES: Illusion and Chemistry

Alternative process photography today is a hybrid of historical techniques and contemporary ideas. Despite, or perhaps because of, the digital revolution, early printing processes are in revival. Whether it is in reaction to digital, or a hybrid process aided by the technology, these techniques remain as evocative and dreamy as they ever were, bringing a unique style to present-day ideas. For Illusion and Chemistry: The Alternative Process, the Kiernan Gallery seeks images that use any alternative processing technique for any idea you wish to express.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists internationally.

MEDIA: Any photographic print created as a product of a non-traditional process is eligible. Processes may include but are not limited to: Albumen, Bromoil, Cyanotype, Daguerreotypes, Gum Bichromate, Platinotypes, Salt Prints, Temeraprints, Tintypes, Wet Plate Collodion. Hybrid or Combination images incorporating conventional (including digital) processes with hand-crafted applications are also eligible. Conventional techniques such as Silver Gelatin, Digital, and C-prints are not eligible.

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