ELBOW
STOMACH

Growth requires change. My growth as a cook has required additional pantry space. The staple items upon which I rely to create meals have simply increased in number, and I had to adapt. This next Call is the perfect example of a show that adapted as it grew. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Stockton Art League and The Haggin Museum (Stockton, CA) for their 57th Juried Exhibition. The entry fee is reasonable, and I am happy to see a show that has grown from regional to national. Maybe international is around the corner. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: London Olympic Exhibit

Posted on March 20, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ROSEMARY
or OREGANO
or MINT?

I believe that recognizing ingredients in a gourmet dish should be an Olympic sport. Try it at home sometime. Have someone prepare something simple, and then try to figure it out based on taste only (pull the blindfold out of storage). It is harder than you might think. Telling one herb or seasoning from the next is complicated if YOU didn’t put it in the dish. This next Call is for an exhibit that will bear witness to many an Olympic sporting event in London this year. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Heartland

Posted on December 8, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

HEARTS of PALM,
anyone?

Heart smart foods have become the norm in my house. I have scary-low blood pressure, and my doc says it makes me far less likely to have a heart attack or stroke. However, my husband is one of those string beans that can consume 5000 calories per day. If Captain Consumption is going to grow old with me, the meats are going to have to be lean, the vegetables plentiful, whole grains a constant and cheese…just an occasional indulgence. This next show is in the Heartland; do you think they eat any heart-healthier there? Let me know…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Merriam Parks & Recreation for the 16th Annual Heartland Artist Exhibition at the Irene B. French Art Gallery (Merriam, KS). A reasonable entry fee, great awards and low commission. This could be ideal for some of you…

SAY AHHHHHH!

I believe that you are what you eat. I have personally witnessed a change in my own health based on the food choices I have made. But sometimes there is a large divide between saying it and doing it.

This Call is your opportunity to express YOUR point of view about healing. Physician, heal thyself…

CALL for ENTRIES: Lines into Shapes

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

FORGIVE ME, please

I think in food cliches. People like me are the reason pumpkin pie candles are sold scores of people longing for fall. And, when I think of Colorado, I think of hot chocolate after skiing. Hot chocolate after skiing is lovely, but Colorado is home to some of the finest restaurants in the US. They deserve more consideration that my cliched hot chocolate. I apologize. This next Call is from Colorado; maybe there will be hot chocolate at the reception.

CALL for ENTRIES: Botanical Art Show

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

MY BLACK THUMB

I want to grow my own food. I WANT to, but when the day starts, I pull on my stilettos and head off to my air-conditioned office where all attempts at growing house plants have withered and died.

There are no secret overalls and garden clogs in my closet.

I don’t even have fruit trees in my yard. My husband and I are thinking of building a shipping container house; maybe I should look for property with fruit trees. Stilettos AND home-grown food. If you don’t have a green thumb, this Call will let you take inspiration from nature even if you didn’t grow it.

CALL for ENTRIES: TailCast

Posted on January 16, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

TWO SCOOPS

I typically only post once per day. Any more smacks of double-dipping of your time and inbox space. I get notified everytime someone unsubscribes from this blog, and I am sincerely sorry when I found out that an artist has decided that AAAD isn’t something they want or need or have time for. So, I am self-conscious about double-dipping… except in ice cream, of course.

So why double-dip today? Well, I am also self-conscious about straying too far from bringing you the art deadlines and opportunities that are the whole purpose of this blog. Last Monday I posted a housekeeping blog, earlier this morning I posted the Artist of the Year blog, and tommorrow I unveil the first Featured Artist of 2011. That is three non-deadline posts in 8 days. I just have to break it up with a little opportunity!

Check out this Art Contest from tailcast.com, a print-on-demand greeting card site, that allows you to design and sell a Valentine’s day card online. There is no entry fee, and you could win $300+ and 20% commission on card sales. Take a look!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Design for TailCast

What are butterflies? Some people say they’re fluttering insects with pretty wings, others that its the feeling you get when you’re nervous or in LOVE… And what about goose bumps? Do you really only get them when you’re cold or can a secret whisper in your ear bring them on too? Is there such thing as a sexy chuckle, a secret grin or a flirty giggle?

Can you make them
happen with a card?

This is the challenge for you at tailcast. This time tailcast want designs to give butterflies or goose bumps and make recipients chuckle, giggle and grin knowingly on Valentine’s day.

DEADLINE: January 29, 2011

ENTRY FEE: None

HOW TO ENTER: Design a card (using all 4 sides of the card). Upload your design using the full instructions found on their Call for Art pages.

Don’t forget, readymade designs are created with personalization in mind, think about what can be done with the customers’ images and messages/text, within your design. Click here for some inspiration, but don’t let that stop you doing something completely different.

ART OPPORTUNITIES: 50 State Fairs Part 1 — Alaska to Iowa

Posted on September 20, 2009June 25, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

State Fairs are known for funnel cakes and corn dogs; however, they can also be a Great Art Opportunity for self-taught and beginning artists to get their feet wet in a friendly, albeit competitive, arena.

But professionals and seasoned artists shouldn’t overlook the opportunity to win cash prizes and sell work at their local State Fair.
