CHERRY

AAAD is rapidly approaching our 5th Anniversary (on 9/12). And I have contemplated how to celebrate how far we’ve come. It isn’t cake or chocolate sundaes I crave, but community–for you. Our readership has exploded over the years, and I receive unbelievable amounts of wonderful email from you. But, I would like to see you participate HERE. Tell each other which opportunities, galleries & competitions. Tell each other what works, what doesn’t. Share this site with your friends by liking & sharing our Facebook & Twitter posts. Share our site with a new artist & help them find the opportunities you have found through AAAD. That would be the cherry on my celebratory sundae. Take action to create community HERE, today. And, don’t forget to help celebrate another anniversary with this next call too. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Still Life

Posted on July 24, 2014July 29, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

WATERMELON
for miles

I cannot eat enough watermelon these days. And, I am intrigued by the variances. My town has ONE grocery store, and the markings indicate that most of the watermelons they carry come from a single source. So how is it that 3 melons of equal ripeness bought on 3 different days taste SO different? One is super sweet, one in grainy & one is ripe, but tangy. This next Call is for Still Life where the presence of fruit is ubiquitous. Did you every notice how rarely you see watermelon in those paintings? Contemplate that when you choose your subject matter…

CALL for ENTRIES: Soul of a Woman

Posted on July 24, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

don’t call me
EGGY

How is it that quiche became girly food? I was at a cafe recently that specializes in quiche. The waitress was reciting the day’s specials to a neighboring table of guests when the man interrupted her to say, “I’m not interested in quiche; I’m a MAN.” Really? It is eggs, cream and cheese. I thought, “Maybe it is due to the pie form.” But, men eat pie, right? I don’t understand his reasoning, but I restrained myself from asking for the sake of the man sitting at my table. Maybe this next Call is looking for the quiche-goodness in women only. Maybe. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Oil & Water

Posted on July 10, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

OIL
me up

Olive oil seems quintessentially Italian to me. But, did you know that the top producer of olive oil, by a fairly wide margin, is Spain? I always think of it as Italian or Greek. This next Call is not just about oil, but water too. Take a look at this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstraction

Posted on July 8, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

ROMAINE
parm & garlic

I’ll take the Abstracted Caesar–hold the deconstruction. I love it when culinary lingo takes a weird side trek. Apparently the minute difference is that deconstructed food is technically a dish with ALL of its components separated. Meanwhile, abstracted food features only the main components separated out. Hilarious. In the meantime, this next Call wants your Abstract work, not deconstructive work. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Santa Cruz Art League (CA) for Degrees of Abstraction. We love this arts organization, and the juror has a well-documented personal style that runs contrary to the exhibition’s theme. Interesting…

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

CALL for ENTRIES:
Abstraction

Moving beyond verisimilitude abstraction frees the artist from the object. This opens the door for a vast variety of visual interpretations which indeed makes abstract art the most challenging. The artist’s facility with the materials & focus on surface makes abstraction particularly interesting today. But w/o personal content, symbolism or “event”, it risks becoming conceptually mundane & void of meaning.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to US artists

MEDIA: Printmaking, drawing, painting, bookmaking, collage, photography & 3D

DEADLINE: August 31, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $45 Non-member up to 3 / $35 SCAL Members ($20 fee/box for shipped work)

JUROR: Tobin Keller is an artist and educator who works and teaches in Northern California. His artwork is very much influenced by the community & natural beauty which surrounds him. Tobin received his Bachelor of Media Arts from Emily Carr University in Vancouver, British Columbia and holds a MFA in Illustration from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. He currently instructs courses at Mendocino College in Ukiah & works as a freelance illustrator & muralist.

AWARDS: The Juror will grant $1,000 in Awards

SALES: 45% commission to Santa Cruz Art League or 30% commission (for SCAL Members).

CALL for ENTRIES: Urban Aspect

Posted on June 8, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

EAT
everything

Most people, in my experience, believe that big cities, like D.C., offer the best in restaurant diversity. And, while this is perhaps true, I find the best quality food experiences are in cities just outside these areas. Take Alexandria, VA, for example. Located just outside D.C., you’ll find everything from farm to table fresh offerings to gourmet comfort foods. All the aspects of urban offerings in a slightly smaller setting. This next Call offers an urban aspect, AND it hails from Alexandria too. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Principle Gallery (Alexandria, VA) for Urban Aspect. Gorgeous gallery, historic & walkable location. Don’t miss this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Urban Aspect

“Urban Aspect” will feature works of art that explore the myriad of themes and vistas found in urban life in all corners of the world.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Painting

DEADLINE: August 22, 2014

NOTIFICATION: August 29, 2014

POT

The art in my kitchen is more commonly viewed than any other work in my house. Maybe it is because I spend a lot of time waiting for potatoes to boil and onions to caramelize and cheesecake to bake–actual cheesecake pictured left. My collection ranges from diary collage applied to toasters to beautiful textural miniature abstracts to large flying pigs. This next Call could help you get your work in someone else’s kitchen. Investigate this one…

CALL for ENTRIES: Birds

Posted on May 9, 2014May 9, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

here chicky
CHICKY

When I was pregnant, I couldn’t eat anything that looked like a bird. The smell of fresh-roasted chicken made me ill. And, while I could eat a chicken nugget or bad, food-service breaded chicken patty, the mere sight of a drumstick would make me violently ill. At the time, I worked behind the cheese counter at The Gourmet Shop–which was, and still is, famous for the hundreds of pounds of chicken salad they make & sell everyday. That job didn’t last long. This next Call IS NOT for roasted birds; I suspect they would prefer imagery of birds that are still very much alive. Just sayin’…

Holy crap, I need a Toastermobile. No really. Bob Blumer, the Surreal Gourmet, has a vintage Airstream transformed in a mobile kitchen–the Toastermobile. I could take AAAD on the road.

CHOCOLATE

I hate the habit, but I have thus far been unable to break myself of it. This next Call wants to see how you reveal your mind, spirit & emotion in art. Take a look…
