OPEN CALL: 2014 at the Firehouse

Posted on June 7, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

5-ALARM

In the game of word association, extreme food edition, the word “firehouse” is always followed by “chili”. Where I live, the fire department ALWAYS wins an award at the Annual Chili Cookoff, and it has just become a natural association for me. This next Call is all about the Firehouse and nothing about the chili, although it does take ANY MEDIA. Take a look…

Check out this Open Call from the Firehouse Art Center for the 2014 Season. This is a great opportunity for a solo show and to become a member of a great organization as well. Investigate this possibility…

CALL for ENTRIES: Eutectic

Posted on February 4, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

STALE
chicks

I just found out my stove won’t go below 225°. I was preparing to roast chickpeas instead of drying them in my dehydrator. But, I usually slow roast them at 200°. Hmph. Those 25 degrees make a difference. You know what I mean. Haven’t you ever split the difference when you had to bake two things at two different temperatures at the same time? Something usually suffers. I’ve eaten many a soggy crust pizza because of this dilemma. Well this next Call comes from a gallery whose very name involves a melting point reference. Intrigued?

Check out this Call for Entries from Eutectic Gallery (Portland, OR) for ceramic work. The fee is fairly standard, but they take both single artists AND pairs. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Eutectic, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Eutectic

Eu・tec・tic – [yoo-tek-tik] adj.: The proportion of constituents in a mixture that yields the lowest possible complete melting point; often lower than the constituents on their own.

Similar to the relationship between the components that make up clay and their proportions, Eutectic Gallery wishes to explore the relationship between an artist’s process, product, & concept, and the public’s interpretation of, interaction with, and critique of said work.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Ceramic

DEADLINE: February 8 for the April exhibit (don’t worry…you can submit online) and March 8 for the May exhibit

NOTIFICATION: Traditionally, within 30 days. Editor’s Note: I have tried to contact the gallery for confirmation; however, I have not heard back in time for the February 8th deadline. I will update when I do.

ENTRY FEE: For a single artist $25 and $35 for paired artists, either can submit up to 5 images. Add’l $5 ea.

ANNUAL OPEN CALL: Soap Factory

Posted on January 25, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

WINE
not whine
please

I am now officially one of those old codgers that complain about the price of potatoes to the grocery cashier and bitch about the prices of soft drinks to my waitress. Ugh. I cannot believe I have turned into THAT person, but I have. My Dad would be so proud. But, I don’t feel alone due to the number of artists I listen to lament the price of entry fees. This next Call doesn’t have one. Woohoo!

Check out this Open Call from The Soap Factory (Minneapolis, MN). The Soap factory is looking for work for group exhibits, AND they offer installation support, travel, accommodations, and a stipend to those selected to exhibit. Did I mention NO ENTRY FEE?

OPEN CALL: Ormond Museum

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

CITRUS
power

Never underestimate the power of food. Grapefruit is now known to interfere with over 70 medications, and many antibiotics have warnings about orange juice. And I am certain that somewhere there are geneticists trying to modify both of these fruits to fix the problem–which is scary, but I digress. The world is your buffet, but you have to make your choices carefully. This next Call looks like a good call to me. But, take a look for yourself…

Check out this Call for Artists from Ormond Memorial Art Museum (Ormond Beach, FL) for 2014 exhibitions. There is no entry fee, and this could be a solo/group artist exhibition dream come true. Don’t miss this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Gold

Posted on November 26, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

GOLDEN
taters

Gold has been used to adorn everything, including food, for years. At least once per month, some entertainment magazine show features a sundae with gold leaf that costs $1500+, but there are cheaper ways too, like edible spray paints. But personally, I choose my golden food in a well-roasted Yukon gold potato. Or maybe a baked chicken. This next Call wants to see your take on all things golden. The deadline is a week away…so hurry.

Check out this Call for Entries from Beers Lambert (London) for the Gold exhibit. There is no entry fee, and many of you living stateside probably still need an international show on your resume. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Gold, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES: Gold

Gold remains an enigma within the history of art and culture, and while much has been analyzed regarding its use, existence, and symbolism in art and culture, any historical discourse regarding the use of gold in art history has remained relatively stagnant in contemporary culture. Still, artists from the Byzantine period to Michelangelo and even Damien Hirst have made countless works with gold as the sole source, means, and directive of the work. Today, however, the use of gold in modern or contemporary art (while prevalent) is often used cheekily, consciously referencing the medium’s historical and overwrought allegorical signifiers, or self-awarely pointing out the kitsch connoted therein.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All media adopts gold as its raison-d’être will be considered, including: two-dimensional, three-dimensional, installation, video, performance, new-media and other traditional and non-traditional media.

DEADLINE: December 3, 2012

NOTIFICATION: It is the applicant’s responsibility to check the site in throughout December and January 2013, when results will be posted online. Only successful applicants will be contacted by email.

ENTRY FEE: None

REMINDER: Open Call at Flow

Posted on November 6, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

A Season for…
everything

The featured food at my house this week is Jona Gold apples ($.89/lb). Last month is was asparagus ($1.99/lb). This whole month it has been apples, partly because of our proximity to an orchard, and partly due to price. We’re heading toward Winter, and I’ll be eating $1 butternut squash for at least 2 months. It is all about eating what’s in season. It is cheaper, healthier, and yummier. Think of it as a seasonal treat. This next Call is all about the upcoming season, and it’s a treat too! Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for 2013 Exhibitions from Flow Art Space (Minneapolis, MN). Great news…NO COMMISSION, no really. This is a rare opportunity in a fairly new gallery. The deadline is just around the corner…

REMINDER: Open Call in Monterey

Posted on October 11, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

OH MY DARLIN’

It is clementine season. Every year around this time, clementines start popping up in the grocery store, and every year I muse over the fact that they seem more like summer fruit than winter. Did you know that in California (where they were grown as early as 1904), a lot of people call them Christmas Oranges? Who knew. This next Call also hails from California. Take a look!

OPEN CALL: Love + Lust

Posted on September 25, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

I’M TOO SEXY
for your bananas

I am fascinated by idea of aphrodisiac foods. For the record, ALL foods are aphrodisiacs in my house, ha. Food is always a sensual experience for us, but I, as you know, have issues. However, I am talking about all of the foods that are supposed to make you feel frisky or perform better sexually. The top 10 include everything from the expected, chocolate, to the odd and unexpected, bananas. Bananas? I don’t think so. This next Call is all about love and lust. Take a look…

Posted on August 19, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

DON’T BE
lily-livered

There are some foods that I love that I only eat every year or two. It isn’t any sense of guilt that makes them sparse on my menu. Sometimes it is just a case of out-of-sight, out-of-mind.
