CALL for ENTRIES: Bemis AiR

OLIVES & more

I tend not to buy in bulk, despite the benefits, because I live in a very small apartment. But, I am guilty of buy multiples. There are too many varieties of olives, specifically, for me to resist. I’ve gotten so carried away that part of my decision of what to buy is based on whether the jar is tall & skinny or short & fat. Ridiculous. The sponsors of this Call love artists so much, they invite them 10 at a time. You could be one of the ten…

Check out this Call for Entries from Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts (Omaha, NE) for 2019 Artist Residencies. Each session hosts 10 artists for a total of 30 opportunities WITH a monthly stipend. Consider this opportunity…

REMINDER: Mono No Aware

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

A CLEAN
start

I am moving temporarily. In addition to being musicians, my husband and I renovate houses for resale; however, we haven’t owned our own home in about 10 years. We have finally decided to buy or build. But in the meantime, our current rental has turned into a haven for mold & mildew. So, we’re starting fresh in a new, smaller house (& smaller kitchen). It would be so much easier if someone would just find and renovate a house for me for free, eh? I am always the dreamer. But, this next Call really IS FREE, and it isn’t a dream. This isn’t just for filmmakers…

Check out this Call for Entries for Mono No Aware. This is a really cool FREE way to stretch your creative streak even if film is not your normal media. Be sure to investigate this one…

REMINDER:
Mono No Aware

Film & video have become easily accessible. One can watch content on a website, television, a home projector, or even a cell phone. For some artists and filmmakers those vehicles are copies of the original artwork, each one degraded by its format. MNA believes there is a magic in seeing the film projected as a print. There is a presence a poet has reading his/her own writing. There is a feeling that resonates in your chest when seeing a band live. For these reasons MNA encourages live music, performance and audio to expand the cinematic experience beyond the screen. MNA asks that in the spirit of the festival you not video or create copies of your performance. Some participants have gone as far as to destroy the work after its first run at the event.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Contemporary art that incorporates Super 8mm, 16mm, 35mm or altered light projections as part of a sculpture, installation, dance, or expanded cinema performance. Submissions including digital projections will not be considered (i.e. HDcam, DigiBETA, DVcam, DVD) all moving images should be from an analog source.

DEADLINE: October 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: Nov. 15, 2013

ENTRY FEE: None. They believe that your time and effort are fee enough. But, if you would like your film and materials sent back to you it is necessary to include a self-addressed stamped envelope with enough postage to get your items from Brooklyn, NY. (11211 zip code) back to your mailing address.

WINE
for whiners

I think people drink more wine at the holidays because of all the whining. Wine won’t stop people FROM whining, but it will certainly help you tune them out. Bitching, when done correctly, can’t be tuned out–regardless of wine consumption. This next Call is all about the bitching, but I suspect the wine is welcome too. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Arte Laguna

Posted on September 15, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

NIGHT CAP

Dessert wines are one of my many guilty pleasures. Biscotti is not just for dipping into your espresso. I’ll take a lovely glass of vin santo with the lingering taste of honey and apricots with a touch of cream. Keep your coffee or espresso (which traditionally comes before vin santo BTW). If you end up at the opening of the collective exhibit for this next Call, have a glass for me. Better yet, bring me a bottle of vin santo back as a souvenir…it beats a t-shirt anytime!

Check out this Call for Entries for the 7th Annual International Arte Laguna Prize for Video or Performance. I won’t try to disguise it…this exhibit/prize is an expensive endeavor, but the prizes and opportunities to exhibit and/or perform in Italy are well worth the risk for some of you. Take a look…

une assiette du
BLANC

All the dishes in my house are white. Okay, I have a couple of random colored pieces that I received as gifts, but even those are mostly white. I chose white because we celebrate the food, not the plate, at my house. It is a blank canvas–much like a blank gallery wall. This next Call is offering you the same opportunity, but in a gallery where it counts. Don’t chicken out, people…

Check out this Open Curatorial Call from the Allegra LaViola Gallery in Manhattan. This is a huge opportunity if you want it to be. I can already hear all of your excuses. Quit it. If you want something, you have to try or it will never come to you. Sermon over. Take a chance…

OUI-OUI,
Monsieur

Have you every noticed that some foods come with the presumption of attitude? Order a Cosmo and the server is likely to mumble bitch under their breath. Order ANYTHING with an accent not your own and you can assume someone will spit in your food for being a snot. This next Call wants to know what you have to bitch about. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Appropriated Gender

Posted on June 1, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

HEADS and COCKTAILS

Gender roles and alcoholic beverages are laughable. Out of town on business this week, I was sitting in the hotel bar watching women ordering glasses of wine and brightly-colored martinis while men ordered beer and brown liquors. Really, people? I know I live in the South, but do we really have to fulfill this stereotype. Kudos to the couple in the corner– he ordered a daiquiri (umbrella included), and she order a shot of something brown. You saved my night, folks. This next call is all about challenging notions of gender. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Appropriated Gender at the 1310 Gallery in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The entry fee is dirt cheap, and there is so much to say within this theme. Investigate and enter…

CALL for ENTRIES: Edges & Curves

Posted on April 2, 2012April 2, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

AGED to PERFECTION

My taste buds are aging well. I can still tell the difference between Parmesan, Romano and Asiago cheeses–even in bad grocery-store-powdered form. And, I have fallen newly in love with beets. My art is getting better too. Who knew? Well, the Haggus Society knew; that’s who. This next Call want to prove that we all get better with age. This is a great opportunity!

Check out this Call for Entries from The Haggus Society for the 2nd Annual Edges & Curves, Nothing In Between exhibit which will be held Upstairs at The Market Gallery (Los Angeles, CA). To ensure full disclosure, I want to make sure you know I am a Hag member, in good standing. Take a look…

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

CALL for ENTRIES:
Edges & Curves,
Nothing in Between

Last year, 2011, the Haggus Society presented the 1st annual Edges & Curves, Nothing In Between exhibition which successfully challenged the myth that older artists have little to no edge.

This year’s theme “Close Your Eyes” will explore wedge issues presented in the public discourse via all channels of media consumption.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to any artist 40 years and older

MEDIA: 2D (no larger than 32″ x 44 inches), small 3D (no larger than 14″ x 10″ x 8″inches). They are considering opening up the exhibition to performance, music, spoken word/poetry. So, feel free to send those media as submissions, too.

DEADLINE: July 4, 2012

ENTRY FEE: $12.50 for up to 6 images for non-members. Submission fees are waived for Haggus Society members in good standing.

JUROR: Natalie Abrams’ work examines suspending moments in time; the physical and textural experience of those moments, the delicate beauty of our surroundings and the difficulty of preserving the present. An environmentalist, Abrams’ abstract landscapes were first exhibited at the R&F Gallery in the three person show “Not Seeing the Forest”.

Using a technique as fluid and unpredictable as nature itself, led to the development of her highly sculptural ribbon paintings; pieces which blur the line between painting and sculpture. The ribbon works have been exhibited in national exhibitions including the Third Annual Encaustic Invitational, as a highlighted artist at Ball State University with Encaustic Works 07, as well as the 2010 book “Encaustic & Beyond”.

Abrams’ latest work further explores humanity’s relationship to our surroundings in the form of sculptural landscapes and topography, and the mirrored societal relationships therein. Development of this work into freestanding installation works will be the focus of her upcoming Affiliate Artist Residency with the McColl Center.

SALES: The Haggus Society receives a 40% commission from all art sold. Please include this in your pricing. If a work is not for sale please indicate with NFS.

*The Haggus Society is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the purposes of The Haggus Society must be made payable to Fractured Atlas and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

CALL for ENTRIES: Scroll Bowl V

Posted on November 21, 2010November 21, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

BOWLING FOR SCROLLS

I’m told the Super Bowl is in January. I say, “I’m told” because a football would have to hit me square between the eyes to make me aware of when the season begins or ends for any sport. Yep, I’m just not that girl. Interestingly enough, the idea of the Super Bowl does conjure image of very specific foods for me despite the fact that I’ve never been to a Super Bowl party. Hmmmm… Chicken Wings anyone?

This next Call for Entries is for the Scroll Bowl V sponsored by Magazine 22. The only similarity between this Call for the Scroll Bowl V and the Super Bowl? They are both in January and both have Bowl in the name, but I had to start somewhere, eh? *Editor’s note: 4 hours after this post went live, the venue and date changed. See edits below noted in green italics…

CALL for ENTRIES: Scroll Bowl V

SCROLL BOWL V will be the featured event at The 22 Magazine Launch Party, on April 2nd, 2011. Harnessing the ancient power of scroll storytelling, some of world’s finest creators gather to show off their work on large and small rolls of parchment. Scroll art is one of the oldest forms of storytelling, and the folks at The 22 Magazine want to make the experience of viewing a scroll more accessible to everyday life.

MEDIA: There are many different ways to approach art on scrolls, and they ask artists to push those limits-linear storytelling to abstract ideas.

Larger format works are shown on their huge SCROLLIE VIEWER, but they also appreciate smaller format or long scrolls that hang on the wall. Solo, group collaborations, video or performance pieces are acceptable. How each artist attacks the “page” is what makes these events fun.

WHERE: The Scroll Bowl V will take place at Frost Street Art Space in Williamsburg (Brooklyn), an exciting new gallery and screening venue that provides live online streaming of events! Click here for videos of the space.

From the organizers: “What this [change of venue] means for the artists is 1) A week long show instead of one night 2) documentation of the actual event via 4-7 installed cameras 3) live streaming of the event online and 4) more space and much nicer venue. ”

HOW TO SUBMIT: All submissions (in the form of images or links) can be sent to the22magazine@gmail.com. Please put “SCROLL BOWL SUBMISSION” in the subject line.

DEADLINE: December 30, 2010 or until the show is full. New deadline March 16, 2011.

ELIGIBILITY: Artists in any location are welcome to submit. Although they cannot fund anyone’s travel expenses, the folks at The 22 Magazine will be happy to present your scroll for you if you cannot make it to the event.
