CALL for ENTRIES: Hope

Posted on August 30, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

Well, WHIP MY EGGS

Eggs are are simply hope in food form. From a simple, inexpensive carton eggs can become a homemade mayonnaise, luxurious hollandaise, a bright spring quiche, comfortable omelettes a beautiful, decadently creamy custard just to name a few.

This next Call gives you the opportunity to express hope in your own way. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Portfolio ShowCase Volume 5

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

I want
ONE OF
EVERYTHING

The menu is a chef’s portfolio. I’m not talking about a large chain of restaurants that has a whole research and development kitchen researching food trends.

CALL for ENTRIES: Thanks Anyway

Posted on August 23, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CRAZY for BISCUITS

I am grateful that I never have to attempt making biscuits again. I went to cooking school for a year, and it was popular to characterize the pastry folk, and anyone who made bakery goods as a little wacky. The popular theory was they snorted too much flour. However, I found this characterization an easy rationalization for why I can’t make biscuits –clearly, I am too sane to master the task. Luckily, my crazy mother taught my crazy husband how to make biscuits, and I don’t ever have to do it again. This Call wants to know what makes you feel gratitude. I’d be grateful for a glass of artisan wine right now…

Check out this Call for Entries from Tin Barn Vineyards (Sonoma, CA) for Thanks Anyway: A Photographic Exploration of Gratitude. The entry fee is low, and holidays are a great opportunity for art sales. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: This is a winery, not a gallery, and it is their first attempt at a show. Please, don’t scare them off by being high-maintenance artists. Be patient and kind, and GRATEFUL. Plus, this is a benefit show in which you ARE NOT being asked to DONATE your work. GRATEFUL, please.

CALL for ENTRIES: Thanks Anyway

This fall, Tin Barn Vineyards—one of Sonoma’s most popular artisan wineries—will host its first fine art photography exhibition. Welcoming a broad range of perspectives and artistic styles, Thanks/AnyWay encourages artists to share their strongest interpretations of the theme of gratitude. The exhibition will open during the annual “Holiday in Carneros”celebration, which draws hundreds of visitors. Images will continue to be on display in their winery cellar and tasting room through New Year’s Day. Proceeds benefit Pathway Home, a local recovery center for veterans.

CALL for ENTRIES: Natural Playground

Posted on August 21, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PICKLE my
PEARLS!

If the world is my oyster, then oysters are my playground. While I have never developed a preference for raw oysters (it is a texture, not taste, issue), I will take them steamed or fried, cajun or asian, and even in my Thanksgiving stuffing. I will eventually forgive my husband for developing an allergy to shellfish, but you’re gonna have to give me a little time with that one. This Call wants to know what YOUR natural playground looks like. Interpretation is key…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery in Vermont called Natural Playground. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Darkroom offers free framing & matting on accepted work!

* Editor’s Note: I just found out that one of my pieces got into their last Call, Persona, and if I can get Xerography into a show, you can take a chance too. Put yourself out there and TRY. Please make sure that you tell them that you found the show on Art & Art Deadlines so they know that all the talent is here at AAAD.

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
Natural Playground

Playgrounds come in all shapes and sizes, and they’re likely the first place your sense of adventure was tested . . . and further cultivated. For the outdoor aficionado, what first started as an obsession for see-saws, swing sets, slides, jungle gyms, and sandboxes, has since turned into an instinctive passion for adventure by means of a different type of playground — the natural playground.

Whether by trail, rock, water, snow or air, where has your obsession for adventure taken you? What’s your photographic definition of Living the Dream? Skiing or snowboarding in the Alps or at your local hill? Climbing in Thailand or at the backyard crag? Mountain Biking in British Columbia or on your neighborhood trails? Surfing pristine Tahiti barrels or a quiet home break? Kayaking through Patagonia or along your favorite coastline?

For those passionate about their adventure and their photography, show the photographic moments you’ve captured that will inspire the next adventure . . . in The Natural Playground

JUROR: Corey Rich is a photographer, Filmmaker & Principal at Aurora Photos and one of the world’s most recognized adventure and outdoor lifestyle visual storytellers. He has captured stunning still photos and video on a wide array of assignments, including rock climbing in India, ultra-marathon racing in the Sahara Desert of Morocco, freight train hopping in the American West, and snowboarding in Papua New Guinea. Today, much of his time goes into capturing both still images and video for the creation of multimedia projects for commercial and editorial clients.

As Vice President and co-owner of Aurora Photos, Rich was the driving force behind founding Aurora’s Outdoor Collection, which is the world’s leading brand of outdoor adventure and outdoor lifestyle photography. Additionally, Rich is a Nikon evangelist and a member of the SanDisk Extreme Team. His first book, My Favorite Place: Great Athletes In The Great Outdoors, was published by Chronicle Books.

Justin Gural is a marketing and communications freelancer with photography playing a prominent role throughout his commercial and editorial work. He approached the Darkroom Gallery in the Fall of 2010, proposing to prepare and curate a juried gallery exhibit focusing on sports, adventure, travel and the outdoor lifestyle. A concept that relates directly with the active, local Vermont community, as well as the global adventure landscape.

As founder and director of Cortex Marketing Network, a full-service marketing and communications agency staffed by an influential group of freelancing professionals, Gural leads the network specializing in integrated brand strategy, design and creative, photo/video production, public relations and copywriting, and event management.

Gural also leads the editorial team at VentureThere.com, USA Today’s adventure sports, active travel and outdoor lifestyle website. He directs the website’s content flow, manages photography, writes and edits editorial features, as well as travels to unique destinations while documenting the adventure.

CALL for ENTRIES: International Photo Exhibit

Posted on August 19, 2011August 20, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

A BAKER’S DOZEN

I appreciate simple food. Somedays there is nothing more comforting than a roasted chicken; however, I am baffled by the new wave of “5 ingredient” cookbooks. I appreciate that sometimes you only HAVE five ingredients. But a whole cookbook of 5 ingredient dishes? I use olive oil, garlic, parsley and cracked black pepper in almost everything…that only leaves me one additional ingredient. How about giving me 12 ingredients? Take a 12 layer dip to the opening of the exhibit in this next Call. Just a subtle pun…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Narrative Image

Posted on August 15, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CANNED FOOD

There are very few truly black foods. Black truffles, black and white cookies, squid ink pasta… none of those are truly black in color. When I think of black foods, one shining, delicious example comes through immediately. Wild sturgeon roe from the Caspian Sea… Caviar. Yes, fish eggs. If you can’t get over what it is long enough to try it, you are missing out one of the culinary wonders of the world. It doesn’t have to cost thousands. Like wine out of a box, there is an audience for every grade of caviar. This next Call takes the black caviar out of the tin and into the box, the Black Box. Keep reading…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Black Box Gallery for Narrative: The Photographic Image. This Gallery covers all the expense of printing, matting & framing your images, and they don’t even have to be for sale. This is as hassle free as a photography exhibit gets. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Narrative

One Picture is worth a thousand words is a common belief that information can be conveyed more accurately and efficiently by images than words. And the power of narrative, or story telling is at the foundation of much of photography. Photograhers are creating complex and descriptive moments in time. Contemporary photographers are crafting and documenting new forms of a visual short story.

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to all photographers world wide, both amateur and professional.

MEDIA: Photography. Black Box will provide all framing, matting and printing for our exhibitions. The photographers who are selected into the exhibition by the juror will provide a high resolution Tiff file for our gallery to print for the exhibition. Black Box covers all printing and framing costs. Other arrangements can be accomodated, if artist wants to send in a print.

DEADLINE: September 4, 2011

ENTRY FEE: $35 per entry (an entry includes up to 5 photos). Use Pay Pal or send check to: Black Box Gallery, 811 E. Burnside St., Ste. 212, Portland OR 97214.

JUROR: Holly Andres calls on the rich visual history of film and narrative photography in her works, often citing personal and fictitious memories of childhood.

Andres coordination of rich, stylized color palettes, elaborate sets, vintage wardrobes and dramatic lighting recall Hitchcock thrillers, fashion photography and tableau photographers like Gregory Crewdson, Jeff Wall, Annie Liebowitz, Larry Sultan and Cindy Sherman. Her work explores elliptical narratives, visually descriptive storytelling and constructed fantasy.

AWARDS: This exhibition will have 20 photographers included by the juror.

SALES: Black Box Gallery takes a 50% commission on all sales, 50% goes to the photographer. If artist prefers the print does not have to be for sale.

CALL for ENTRIES: Persona DUE MONDAY

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

STUFFED like a SARDINE!

Am I still the only one that wonders what their food portrait would be? I don’t think so anymore. After my last posting of that questions, I got lots of replies with your food portrait match. My favorite came from a youth hostel in Europe…sardines. Quarters must be tight. Sardines are glorious in Caesar salad, make delightful sushi and melt in your mouth on pizza. This is a Reminder Call that encourages you to share your best wacky portraits. Will yours involve sardines? Surprisingly, mine doesn’t involve food…

Check out this Call for Entries for Persona from Darkroom Gallery in Essex Junction,Vermont. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget to tell the folks at Darkroom that you heard about them from www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
Persona

“We’re looking for something beyond the traditional portrait – more than just a eloquently captured face. We’re looking for uncanny, parody, distortions, subtle suggestions and in-your-face implications. For “Persona” we’re looking for portraits devised outside the box (or in one, might also be applicable in certain circumstances!) – we want to see the characters you’ve captured.

“There can more to a superb portrait than a superb likeness of an individual a the testimony to their soul can be visioned way beyond the eyes. How much can you tell us about a person with just one image? Their life story? Perhaps. How did you show the idiosyncrasies, quirks, that make your sitters both physically and emotionally, individuals? We can’t wait to fill our gallery walls with a newly visioned kind of face – portrait as character and caricature.”
JUROR: The portraits of Chris Buck have been surprising us, making us laugh, causing us to ask questions, and inspiring us to think outside of the box for years. His brand of image making (over two decades worth) infuses wit with uncommon gesture and implied meaning. He tells more than a story – he creates tales (sometimes through pure expression). Chris was the first recipient for the Arnold Newman Portrait Prize (2007), which we think he so rightfully deserved! His clients include IBM, Microsoft, Moviefone, Citibank, GQ, Blender and The New York Times Magazine. From uncanny celebrity portraits, to advertising humor, to editorial wisdom, Chris Buck has offered us a very special take on our world of Personas.

PHOTO SUBMISSIONS:

Age: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, a parent or legal guardian may make the submission for you.

Ownership: All submitted photos must have been taken by the photographer making the entry.

If you are a parent or legal guardian submitting for a minor, please make it clear on the submission form.

CALL for ENTRIES: Off the Cuff

Posted on August 11, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

MUSTARD
du jour?

Spontaneous food creation is my favorite kitchen activity. There is nothing more exciting than finding a use for dijon mustard when it is the last seasoning you have left because you haven’t had time to make it to the grocery store this week. By the way, dijon mustard makes an excellent oil-free way to thicken homemade salad dressings. This next call asks you to submit your best spontaneous, unrehearsed photography for exhibition. I love this idea…

Check out this Call for Entries from MPLS Photo Center (Minneapolis, MN) for Off the Cuff: The Spontaneous and Unrehearsed. The entry fee is only $35 for up to FIVE images. Don’t miss this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Off the Cuff

Off the Cuff: The Spontaneous and Unrehearsed will demonstrate the complex and varied roles photography employs as a witness and an accomplice in seeing the world. Relating to both the genres of street photography and performance art, these images may collectively portray chance encounters, improvisations, decisive moments in the height of action, and documents of occurrences. Without premeditation, the photographer captures what arises – acting as the mediator between the photograph and events as they unfold.

ELIGIBILITY:
All artists
