CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Artist A Day

Posted on August 13, 2011August 13, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

COLD
CAFFEINE…
with a pinch

Sometimes it takes just a pinch of an ingredient to make a dish complete. Have you ever tasted something delectable and said, “What IS that flavor?” I have theories of my own including nutmeg in diet Coke. But not all special ingredients are a secret. Pesto requires basil, but I prefer walnuts to pine nuts, and an art career requires publication…and a website. If you have a website, this could be the nutmeg in your diet Coke. If you don’t have a website, here’s another reason to invest…

Check out this Opportunity from ArtistADay.com to be a Featured Artist! There is no entry fee, membership is free, and you could win a feature post with links back to your website, but you have to have a website. And no, they don’t sell website service, ha. You’ve got nothing to lose…

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Artist a Day

The mission of Artist A Day is to raise awareness of fine art globally, through establishing personal connections between professional Artists and people who love Art.

From their perspective Artists are often under-valued, under-exposed, and under-appreciated. Through their membership base (free) of over one million people, they are able to bring immediate and lasting attention for Artists who would otherwise remain under-exposed.

“Very simply, if we can expose one person to a work of art they would have otherwise missed, we have made a contribution to the art community. With a million people, that contribution grows exponentially.” –artistaday.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists, but you MUST have a website. They are selective of the Artists they showcase, and the body of work they represent. In fact, they only showcase one or two works by the Artist that serve as an entry point for their members to explore that artist further, both on and offline.

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: Ongoing

ENTRY FEE: There is no entry fee.

AWARDS: A feature post including two images and links back to an artist’s personal website. Editor’s note: Testimonials from previously featured artists indicate that the surge in traffic flow to their sites is significant.

Posted on June 5, 2011June 5, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

EAT your HEART out!

Reared in the south, my family would not have dreamed of getting our Sunday meal of fried chicken from the colonel. However, getting fried chicken from a whole chicken took forever. By the time chicken was being pulled from the cast iron skillet, we were starving. I always ran off with the chicken heart, liver, and gizzards before anyone could notice. These days I prefer my appetizers in the form of chicken pate, but I miss the sneaky treat of it all. This next Call for Entries involves a different sort of heart all together.

CALL for PROPOSALS: Smoking Mirrors in NYC

Posted on April 14, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PICKLES
& ICE CREAM

Some foods just go together like peanut butter & chocolate, bacon & eggs, even pretzels & mustard. But sometimes, the best pairings are a surprise like french fries & mayo or chocolate & chili. This Call combines all the drama of modern dance with the interactive nature of installation artwork–a perfect pairing. This is a great opportunity to be a part of a two-week pop up gallery in New York City.

Check out the Call for Proposals for Smoking Mirrors from Kinematic Dance and A+ Productions. No entry fee and an uber-cool concept. Don’t miss out on this one… particularly if you are interested in installation work!

*Editor’s Note: If you have ever wanted to try your hand at installations, here is a free opportunity. Remember, all they can do is say no. If they do, send me the rejection letter, and you’ll get a free entry into the $2 Art Contest. See? You win either way.

CALL for PROPOSALS:
Smoking Mirrors

Kinematik Dance and A+ Productions are soliciting proposals for exhibitions at Smoking Mirrors for Fall 2011 in New York City. Artists will collaborate with choreographers and dancers in creating an interactive, multi-sensory performance environment. Winning proposals will be sponsored for a two-week pop up gallery showing and two performance events with reception. Artistsʼ will receive exhibition opportunity, publicity, and documentation of work.

THEME: Smoking Mirrors explores how identity has become synonymous with pixilation in our fast-paced, media-driven world. How have our identities become pixilated through advanced technology and social media and which stages of fragmentation have led us to multiply ourselves? Has this shift given us more freedom and tools to define our own existence or has it, in fact, limited our capacity to simply exist?

From the invention of the mirror to the iPhone, various devices have helped us create replicas of ourselves, often blurring the lines between what is real, imaginary, and symbolic. In this event we are inspired to journey through the various stages of fragmentation to the inevitable negotiation of identity. Starting with the uninterrupted experience of wholeness we move through the detachment of the self by reflection, society, traditional media (advertising) and hypermedia (social networking).

ELIGIBILITY: Open to installation artists, set designers, multi-media and video artists, and lighting designers.

MEDIA: Smoking Mirrors is the first in a series of “Performance Design” events that incorporates dance, design and multi media arts. Part performance, part art installation, and part party, the event will include 60 minutes of dances pieces that fuse movement, technology, imagery, and the unusual use of props. Performances will take place in various areas of a created multisensory and interactive environment, through which the audience will move to view performances.

DEADLINE: May 5, 2011

ENTRY FEE: There is no entry fee.

SPONSORED BY: Kinematik Dance provides visually stimulating and provocative choreography that fuses elements of urban dance such as Hip Hop, House, Breaking and Vogue with contemporary modern dance. Through a synthesis of artistic elements such as movement, visual imagery, lighting and the unusual use of props, Kinematik reconstructs the conventional by addressing common social stereotypes and engaging audiences to rethink existing notions about urban and popular culture. Kinematik aims to vitalize the concert dance world with a fresh new perspective on the conceptual street dance movement.

A+ Productions is a multi-disciplinary production company that seeks to foster integrated, creative communities by creating a platform for dynamic collaborations between visual and performing artists. In our city (NYC) of nearly 10 million people artists too often operate autonomously and independently within their respective communities. By pairing choreographers with designers, architects, sculptors, poets, and the like, A+ promotes a more communal approach to art-making that enhances the work of each artist while making dance more visible and accessible to the general public.

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Art-O-Mat

Posted on April 1, 2011April 1, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

I love Art-O-Mat! Art Starts at only $5!

I originally became an art gallery owner because I couldn’t afford the art I loved, and I wanted to be responsible for making at least some of the art I loved affordable. But I assure you that your friendly blogger didn’t invent the idea of affordable art. Neither did Art-O-Mat, but I love their take.

I am blogging from the road today, so, instead of posting a traditional Art Deadline for you…I thought I would just remind you of some opportunities that are ALWAYS out there for you like Art-O-Mat.

What is an Art-o-mat?
Art-o-mat machines are retired cigarette machines that have been converted to vend art. There are approx. 90 active machines in various locations throughout the country. Find an art-o-mat near you.

Check out this Art-O-Mat work from Kathy Fisher! Now there is no excuse not to be a collector. And of course, you can be an Art-O-Mat artist too! Submit your work today! Here is some great information from Art-O-Mat.

DEADLINE: Rolling year ’round.

ENTRY FEE: None

What do you get from an Art-o-mat?

The experience of pulling the knob alone is quite a thrill, but you also walk away with an original work of art. What an easy way to become an art collector. See Art-O-Mat samples here. Check out the Art-O-Mat work of Kathy Fisher (pictured right).

Want to be an Artomat artist?
There are around 400 contributing artists from 10 different countries currently involved in the Art*o*mat project. They are always searching for fresh work. Check out the submission process. Just remember, all they can do is say no. Do your research, and then follow the guidelines. Be brave and submit your inspired art so that someone else can afford to be a collector…and eat!
