CALL for ENTRIES: Sense of Place 2014

Posted on March 19, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

FRIENDLY FRUIT
in a small world

Grocery shopping is often a small world experience for me. I’ll be thinking of having teriyaki wings, and my husband will come home with the chicken. Or, I’ll be dreaming of pineapple-infused rice for my salmon, and my stop at the grocery store with produce a beautifully ripe pineapple that just happens to be on sale. I’m just lucky that way, I suppose. Just the other day, I was thinking of a couple of pieces I saw in someone’s personal art collection, and what do you know–the juror pops up in this call. It’s a small world…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art (Augusta, GA) for A Sense of Place. $30 entry, fantastic juror, and a beautiful venue!

CALL for ENTRIES: Me, Myself & I

SUNNY SIDE UP
hold the salsa

Don’t throw tomatoes. I never search my own blog history before I write these segues. So unknown to me, I might be contradicting/repeating myself, but I am always being sincere–I swear. Having said that, I remember having written about this topic many times. That’s right, it is time for what-would-I-be-if-I-were-food. This week, I’m thinking I would be an egg. Really. They are ultimate in adaptive foods. They are in everything from cookies to lasagna. My family OF THREE now eats approximately 3 dozen a week. Really. This episode of what-would-I-be-if-I-were-food was brought to you be this self-portrait Call–the ultimate what-would-I-be-if-I-had-only-one-shot-to-show-the-world experience. Enough hyphens; I digress…

Check out this Call for Entries from the ENMU Runnels Gallery for Me, Myself & I, a self-portrait show. No entry fee, and this is a great institution. Take a look…

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

CALL for ENTRIES:
Me, Myself & I

Social, cultural, political, gender, age and sexual orientation are part of our identities as individuals. Each of these elements play a part in how we identify within various constructs such as family, workforce, community and greater society.

The aim of this exhibition is to feature self-portraits that best depict our own individual identity and the ability to be a camellia of uniqueness or to fit within the statuesque.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Must be 8” x 10”. No landscapes orientations accepted. B&W or color photography, digital photography or illustrations, and photos or scanned replications of drawings, paintings or sculptures. Self-portraits will not be returned; do not submit original prints/artwork.

DEADLINE:
May 1, 2014

NOTIFICATION: “All artists will be featured. Artists are welcome to submit as many self-portraits as they wish; however, the gallery can only guarantee a minimum of six photos per artist will be displayed. If space permits, more photos will be used from each submitting artist.” — quoted from from the Me, Myself & I prospectus

ENTRY FEE: No fee to enter

SALES: Artwork will not be sold. (or returned)

Editor’s Note: According the prospectus, this is a National Juried exhibit; however, it also claims to be open to ANY artist, and no juror is listed. The quote above indicates it is a form of all-hung show. So, my guess is it is only juried for awards. However, the awards are not defined in the prospectus either. Normally I wouldn’t publish a Call without getting all of these questions answered…but I HAVE shown at this gallery myself and it was a FANTASTIC experience. If you’re looking for a line on your resume, this is a great academic gallery with an historically great curatorial vision.

BUTTER, GHEE
or me

The only thing missing from California cuisine is butter. It is characterized by local, fresh ingredients and foods low in saturated fats and high in fresh vegetables and fruits with lean meats and seafood from the California coast with special attention paid to presentation–delicious & beautiful. But why leave out the butter? And, if it is from local, grass-fed cows, even better. Can’t we just learn to play well with others? The prize for this next Call hails from the land of California cuisine. Is this opportunity the one for you?

KNIFE SKILLS

Almost 25 years ago, I began a year of culinary school. I loved every minute from plaid pants to paper hats. My mother the knives kit monogrammed. I almost can’t wrap my brains around how long ago that was.

DOUBLE
your pleasure

I double most of the recipes for soups, stews & casseroles. My child takes his lunch everyday, and despite working from my home office, I don’t have the time to make lunch everyday. So, leftovers are it. Eggplant lasagna is everyone’s favorite doubled meal, by the way (because it is THAT good 🙂 ). The prizes for this next Call have almost doubled in the past 3 years.

MOUTH

I dislike the semantics of having an “open mind”. Doesn’t that, quite literally, mean that anything can go in and out? I don’t want that for my mind any more than I want that for my menu. I simply will not abide even a “devil’s advocate” argument on some subjects anymore because for me, wrong is wrong. I feel the same way about food. I’ve tried an impossibly large number of foods over the years. I will not even entertain the possibility of tasting some foods anymore. Grubs might be fantastic or even taste like my favorite stinky cheese, but I won’t be eating them, EVER. Call me closed-minded AND closed-mouthed in this respect. Luckily, this next show is wide open. Investigate…

LETTING
go

I am trying to curb my collecting of all things culinary. I moved to a smaller house to purposefully downsize in preparation for building a smaller sustainable green home in which I hope to live the rest of my life. Passing up vintage deviled egg plates and a new pate knife pattern has reminded me that there is a reward to self restraint. One of the rewards…I can afford to collect more art, ha. This next Call is really ALL about the collectors. Here’s hoping they collect YOUR art…

Here’s an interesting Call for Entries from the Sylvia White Gallery (Ventura, CA) for the 2014 Collectors’ Choice. This could be your last chance to show in this space without being one of their represented artists. Investigate for your self…

CALL for ENTRIES:
2014 Collectors’ Choice

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Paintings, mixed media, works on paper, photography, sculpture, installation, digital, video and performance.

DEADLINE: March 1, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $35 (USD) for 3 images, $5 each additional image, maximum 10.

JURORS: Each art collector may select one or more pieces by artists that are not currently represented in their private collection. Collectors’ names will be kept anonymous until the opening reception. Editor’s Note: My assumption is these are collectors that purchase work in the Sylvia White Gallery. Because they are anonymous, the best recommendation I have for research is to spend some time investigate the artists the gallery represents, since in theory, it is their work these collectors are purchasing–at least in part.

AWARDS: Selected artists will participate in 2014 Collector’s Choice exhibit April 23rd to May 24th, 2014 at Sylvia White Gallery.

SALES: Unless otherwise specified, accepted works will be considered for sale at the price indicated and 40% commission will be retained by The Sylvia White Gallery.

CHEERS
to you

There is very little in this world that I love as much as a glass of wine alongside a freshly-made pate. But red wine decided it didn’t like me a decade ago, and I’ve never been a fan of beef liver. So, what does one do? A beautiful white and a thrifty chicken liver pate. I smell a date night coming in all of this. In the meantime, this next Call offers a business excuse to drink wine. It’s all about the rationalization sometimes…
