CALL for ENTRIES: Dank Memes

give ’em something to TACO ‘BOUT

Taco Tuesday really exists. It may not always happen on Tuesday, but tacos remain the easiest delivery method for dinner. From tuna with mango pico to barbecue chicken with jalapeño slaw, just wrap it in a corn tortilla, and dinner is done. And, if it happens to happen on a Tuesday, well, that’s what the dank meme is for… something to taco ’bout, right? Got more food memes? This next Call is for you, but the memes don’t have to be about food. I promise…

Dig deep and decode the cultural viruses that live in you: show us your dank memes. –from nonfictiongallery.com

CALL for ENTRIES: American Vices

american
PIE

I talk to myself in the grocery store –okay everywhere. But, it is worst in the grocery store. In the produce section last week, I was standing in front of a mountain of shiny red apples when I muttered, “I don’t get it.” As you know, I advertise my disinterest in the grainy texture & overly sweet flavor of many red varieties of apples on a regular basis. I tend to prefer them green & tart; sue me. My grocer had approx. 2 dozen green apples & 20 dozen red varieties for sale, hence the “I don’t get it.” But this time, a woman in my age range was standing next to me while I muttered. She turned, looked me in the eye & said, “If you don’t like apples, you’re not American.” Really? Is my nationality now determined by my fruit choices? Lady, step away from the apples & toward the hard cider. This next Call is all about being American. Take a look…

COOKING
lessons

Miserable failure is the only path to culinary success. It is true. There are no short cuts. You have to try and try again, analyzing results and altering methods along the way. The first few dozen times I soft boiled an egg, made a hollandaise or cheese sauce, the results were less than desirable, but I am grateful for my desire to learn how. I didn’t turn out to be a chef but it increased my perspective. The same holds true for this Call. This media might not be in your skill set, and it may never be your first choice. But, pursing the idea or learning a new skill may give you a new perspective on your own media. You CAN be successfully project driven, just try…

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Gift
You Never
Wanted

We are often given gifts that are unsightly, unseemly, or straight out of a nightmare. Often these “gifts” stay with us, sometimes for the better. The gifts we never wanted take many forms, both physically and emotionally. In the end we have to ask—are gifts given for the sender or the receiver?

For the exhibition The Gift You Never Wanted, Non-Fiction Gallery seeks works of art that explore the idea of the gift as a burden or a blessing.

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: November 7, 2015

ENTRY FEE: $25 for up to 4 ($20 for all ArtRise members), $30 for up to 6 ($25 for all ArtRise members)

LOBSTER
and peanuts

Most people associate Georgia with peaches, or maybe peanuts (thanks to Jimmy Carter), but I always think of barbeque ribs or creamy lobster bisque. Random, I know. I grew up in a suburb of Atlanta as a young girl, and barbeque ribs were a standard at least one night a week during the summer. Once a teenager, I made treks to Savannah with my mother to have table-side Caesar salad and lobster bisque from our favorite restaurant. I suppose every person’s food story is a unique work of non-fiction. This next Call is your non-fiction opportunity to tell your own solo story. Take a look…

greens or
BEANS?

My mother cans green beans for me every year, and when I arrive to pick them up for winter back stock, her questions is always, “Greens or beans?” Apparently toward the end of the canning batch, the last few jars have an excess of beans from the ones that fell out of the greens while cooking. My mother thinks those little beans are the star of the show, while I’ll take the greens every time. If your your smallest art could be the star of the show, this next Call just might be for you. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Tiny Divas

Bold. Talented. Demanding. Idolized.

Whether they are known for their powerhouse vocals and intoxicating talent or their over-the-top, won’t-stop, vogue-til-you-drop life and style, a true diva is a muse to the masses. With public response shifting between veneration and vilification, divas captivate, terrify and inspire. They unapologetically demand devotion while remaining utterly unapproachable, keeping the world at a measured distance.

Non-Fiction Gallery wants to bring the celebrity divine within reach. Rather than choosing the more obvious route of “large persona, larger artwork,” the gallery’s next juried show will feature the world’s favorite superstars on a pocket-sized scale. Show them your smallest works inspired by the biggest and boldest doyennes.

MEDIA: Open to all media up to 12″ (unframed) or 16″ (framed) on the longest side, & price should not exceed $275

DEADLINE: September 26, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $20 for up to 3, $5 ea. add’l

JUROR: Max Arnzen, Clinton Edminster & Patrick Suggett. & Suggett have been collaborating for the last 7 years on art centered projects, sharing an extensive background in film festival curation & organization. Edminster currently operates as the Executive Director of Art Rise Savannah, where he has overseen the development of multiple community programs.
