SQUARE FRUIT
round hole

I truly appreciate having less space. Since I have moved to my downsized home in November, I have conquered most of the challenges of storage by ridding my home of excess crap. But, food storage IS still a problem. I tripped across square apples, and now that I make my own applesauce this could come in handy. But, call me when they drop from $7 PER apple. Luckily, this next Call for squares has no entry fee. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Rochester Contemporary Art Center (Rochester, NY) for the 6x6x2014. No entry fee, and THIS all hung still looks great on your resume! One of my favorite shows of the year…

SMALL PLATE
big stomach

The natural result of my food obsession is that I have tried every diet on the planet, or so it would seem. One of the funniest (and most futile) was to use only 6″ x 6″ square plates. The thought is that you could fool your brain into thinking you had eaten a full-size plate of food while only actually consuming the smaller portion. The one problem with that plan is that I’m not that easily suggestible. Is anyone? This is the next Call is a far better use of the 6″ square. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Rochester Contemporary Art Center (RoCo) for the 6x6x2013. There is no entry fee for up to 6 submissions. This show looks great on your resume, and your work could hang side by side with celebrity artists! One of my favorite shows of the year…

I am a collector at heart. I enjoy having odd jars of condiments just a cabinet door away. I love having kitchen gadgets and utensils that I only have reason to use once a year. But what I most love to collect is art. I have art stuffed in every nook and cranny of my house. Including a little carving of late artist Bob Ross (click here for image) who came in his own little cigarette box marked “Bob in a Box” part of a series by Bob Snead , Founder of Redux. This next show gives YOU a chance to be both collected and a collector!

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: 6×6 in New York

Posted on March 13, 2010March 13, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

Happy March! Thank you for your patience during my short hiatus. I am back and will return to regular posting during the next 2 weeks.

In the meantime, I received this call today and thought it was a perfect opportunity for those of you ust starting to build a resume–The 3rd Annual 6x6x2010 is a brilliant fundraiser in benefit of the Rochester Contemporary Art Center.

The rules are pretty simple:

You send up to 10 pieces of work sized 6″ x 6″ x no more than 1/4″ deep signed only on the back, and they will be exhibited at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center and sold at $20 each.

No hanging hardware necessary–they use push pins.

Why participate?

1. It is an “all hung” show so you won’t receive a rejection letter.

2. You can add a NY Show to your resume.

3. You get a chance to support the arts while possibly picking up a collector or two.

Here is the call, in brief, with a link to the prospectus at bottom:

6x6x2010 is the third exhibition of thousands of original artworks, made and donated by celebrities, international and local artists, designers, college students, youths and YOU. Each artwork will be 6×6 inches square and signed only on the back, to be exhibited anonymously.

All artworks will be for sale to the public for $20 each, to benefit Rochester Contemporary Art Center. Artists’ names will be revealed to the buyer only upon purchase and all artworks will remain on display for the duration of the exhibition. Don’t miss Rochester’s largest exhibition and don’t miss the chance to show your artwork in great company and support of Rochester’s downtown contemporary art venue.

All submissions are due by May 2 at 5 pm and should be delivered or mailed directly to Rochester Contemporary Art Center. A full list of artists and an online gallery of all contributed artworks will be made available for viewing and purchasing online.
