CALL for ENTRIES: A Sense of Place

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

NUTS for YOU!

I believe that food has a sense of place. When you eat cotton candy, don’t you think of going to the fair? When I taste boiled peanuts (Yes, Virginia, they do exist), I am instantly transported to South Carolina. You have associations of your own, no doubt. This Call is named Sense of Place, but it isn’t a theme. Maybe it comes from the enormous sense of place felt even through photographs of this beautiful gallery space. Inspired yet?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art in Augusta, GA for the 2011 National Juried Exhbition: A Sense of Place. The entry fee is low, and once again, the juror is well-documented and happens to be a printmaker, although many media are embraced. This looks like a winner…

CALL for ENTRIES: 19th Annual Miniature Show

Posted on March 24, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

WHERE’S
THE
CACAO?

Clearly, whomever coined the phrase less is more could not have been referring to any form of chocolate. I’ve heard of moderation. I understand moderation. I have experimented with moderation. I do, begrudgingly, limit my consumption of lots and lots of things, from alcohol to lard and many processed foods–just not chocolate. This next call for miniature art entries subscribes to the theory that less is more. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Parklane Gallery for the 19th Annual International Juried Miniature Show. And this year there is a new category–3 dimensional art!

CALL for ENTRIES:
19th Annual International Juried Miniature Show

Parklane Gallery in Kirkland, WA welcomes miniature artists from across the country and around the world to enter their 19th Annual International Miniature Show, May 3 – June 5.

ELIGIBILITY: Entries are admitted to the show following strict adherence to the international definition of miniature art:

1. Miniature paintings and sculptures are fine art on a small scale with minute attention to detail which can be enlarged or withstand close inspection without revealing any faults.

2. A representational subject should be no larger than 1/6th of its actual size. Subjects too small for portrayal in 1/6th or smaller than their actual size, may meet the spirit of a miniature if the work meets the above definition of miniature art. Non-representational work such as abstracts or surrealism may meet the spirit of a miniature if all other factors in the definition of a miniature are met.

3. Image size not to exceed 25 square inches (161cm). Sculptures may not exceed 8 inches (20.5cm) in any dimension, including the base.

Miniature Sculpture by Dalton Ghetti — Don't you just LOVE the miniature sculpture by Dalton Ghetti? He is not associated with this show. Ghetti is just one of my favorites.

HOLY BAGEL, BATMAN!

The holy grail for most of the emerging artists I know is a solo show in New York City. The myth of the NYC show as the tipping point for wealth, success and fame is as idealized as NYC diners, bagels and street hot dog vendors.

CALL for ENTRIES: Gender Matters

Posted on November 8, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

MUFFIN MAKIN’
MOMMA

Have you ever wondered why most women fill the family role of cook? (although not in my house) …But in the professional world most Chefs are men? Me too. I like being female, despite the issues…even in the South. Today I’m paying tribute to one of my favorite female Chefs, Cat Cora, who proves gender doesn’t matter…at least in this case. But we all know that gender does matter, especially in this next call for entries.

Check out this Call for Entries for Gender Matters/Matters of Gender from The Freedman Gallery at Albright College. The entry fee for up to three images is only $20, and the juror, Judith Tannenbaum, is spectacular. Did I mention that this art exhibit is open to entries from BOTH genders? Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Gender Matters/Matters of Gender

Ever since Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro organized the collective Womanhouse project in San Francisco in 1972, as well as Judy Chicago’s 1979 Dinner Party, shows centering on women’s reality have become a staple in galleries nationwide.

Gender Matters/Matters of Gender, expands this tradition to include works by artists of both sexes who work from a consciousness of how gender is reflected in art, how the artist’s gender influences her or his medium, and how gender often affects the circumstances in which the artist creates. This show will include a range of artists who make art which explores sexual identity, evolutions in biological reproduction and art which is sometimes informed by an awareness of gender based craft and traditions.

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to everyone. Entries must represent original works of art or design and represent or address the theme in some way.

MEDIA:
Open to all traditional
& non-traditional genre & media
(including video, sculpture, photography, painting, drawing, printmaking, etc.)

JUROR: Judith Tannenbaum is the first Richard Brown Baker Curator of Contemporary Art at the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design. From 1986 until 2000, she served as curator, associate director, and interim director at the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

Tannenbaum has organized numerous exhibitions focusing on painting, photography, sculptural installations, and interdisciplinary work with a particular interest in connections between the visual and performing arts. Since moving to RISD, several projects, including “On the Wall: Wallpaper by Contemporary Artists” (2003), have focused on relationships between fine art and design.

ENTRY FEE:
Entry fee is $20.00.
Artists may submit up to 3 images.

DEADLINE: December 1, 2010
