CALL for ENTRIES: Beauty Comes in Many Forms

Posted on October 27, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BEAUTIFUL,
you ARE what you EAT

Beauty is a perfectly golden crepe stuffed with mint-infused marscapone topped with a drizzle of warm, gooey dark chocolate. But then again, somedays beauty is a turkey sandwich or a bowl of butternut squash soup or the perfect raspberry. It is all about perspective and timing. This Call for Entries wants to know how you see beauty. I promise not to hold it against you if your image of beauty doesn’t involve food. Say it with art…

Check out this Call for Entries for Beauty Comes in Many Forms from the Linus Galleries’ Irvine Gallery (Irvine, CA). The acceptable media for this show is a cool mixture, and this could be a great opportunity for holiday art sales. Take a look…

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: Richeson 75 Figure/Portrait 2011

Posted on April 28, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BUTTER not JAM

I cannot bake biscuits of any sort. I have tried and tried, but the result is a pan of white hockey pucks. It is okay not to be good at everything… even if you really want to be. By the way, I cannot paint either. I have tried and tried, but the result is a canvas of muddy mess. Lately, I’ve published a lot of photo calls, and I am starting to feel the guilt of personal bias. So, this Call is mostly meant for all of my talented painting readers. Go forth and conquer!

CALL for ENTRIES: Juried NYC Art Competition

Posted on December 26, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

HOLY BAGEL, BATMAN!

The holy grail for most of the emerging artists I know is a solo show in New York City. The myth of the NYC show as the tipping point for wealth, success and fame is as idealized as NYC diners, bagels and street hot dog vendors.

Don’t misunderstand, I LOVE diners, bagels and hot dogs. I recognize that none of them will change my life, but I will enjoy one and all if you offer me one.

Check out this next Call for Entries for the 2011 National Juried Competition from the First Street Gallery in New York City. The entry fee is a standard $35, but the grand prize …a solo show. Don’t miss this opportunity!
