CALL for ENTRIES: Tiny Book Show

Posted on November 10, 2015November 10, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

soul FOOD

I love an amuse-bouche as much as the next foodie. I love tapas & small plate menus too. But, I don’t understand the tiny food trends I am seeing. The videos of tiny food being made on tiny appliances? I am clearly missing something. I cannot find a point to the concept of tiny food except for the cute factor. Where food is concerned, more is almost inevitably better in my house. But there is a time & place for everything. This next Call is the perfect way to dive into tiny works. Now to learn how to bind my work…

CALL for ENTRIES: 9×12

Posted on September 14, 2015September 14, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

PEPPERS
only smaller

My whole house smells like peppers & basil at the moment. A recent Saturday trip to the farmers market ended with a huge surplus of these staples, but to prevent loss, I am dehydrated both. Then I will grind, chop or crumble most of these into a smaller form for storage and use this winter. This next Call could be an outlet for new work, but it could be an excellent way to compact and move out studies or older work. I encourage you to contemplate cutting down your work. Yes, I DID say, “cutting down your work”…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Fort Worth Community Arts Center (Fort Worth, TX) for 9×12 Works on Paper. This could be a great way to do a little studio cleaning & resume building at the same time. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Small Plates

Posted on June 30, 2015April 4, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

i want some
MORE

Remember having “eyes bigger than your stomach”? That was the automatic response to an overly large-portioned plate at my childhood dinner table. It was then immediately followed by a lecture reminding me of children thought to be starving in a far away country that seemed, well, other worldly to a five year old. The truth would have been more effective. There were starving children in my own country, my own state, my own town, probably my own neighborhood. I was fortunate not to want for food as a child. But today, my eyes are always bigger than my stomach. I always take on more than I can easily digest, gastronomically and otherwise, and yet I always find myself both hungry to pile on more–even while suffering the indigestion of my last turn at the proverbial table. This next Call is proof. In 2016, we are proud to be offering a buffet for all of you. Take us up on this, the first of several dinner invitations to come…

Check out this Call for Entries from ArtAndArtDeadlines.com (AAAD) for Small Plates: A Response to Hunger, a small works show, exhibited in The Balcony gallery (Knoxville, TN) located at The Emporium Center. Grow with us…

Small Plates

“The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Here at AAAD, we believed that the food metaphor is a perfect vehicle to inspire you to feed your creative self. We shun the demeaning cutesy-ness of the bohemian “starving artist” image as it numbs us to the real struggle of hunger & starvation worldwide. Starvation, in a literal way, robs humanity of being human and ends even the possibility of a creative self. For SMALL PLATES, AAAD wants your views on hunger —physical, spiritual, political, emotional and/or creative. Food references are optional.

The SMALL PLATES will be exhibit will both open & close on May 6, 2016 as a part of the First Friday festivities at The Balcony Gallery, located in The Emporium Center in Knoxville, TN –a one-day show.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists —any age, any gender, any location.

THEME: Hunger—physical, spiritual, political, emotional or creative. Food reference optional.

MEDIA: Open to all media that will fit in a 9”x12” envelope (aka 229 mm x 305 mm or No. 10 ½), including but not limited to: painting, drawing, fiber, collage, digital, photography, graphic design, illustration, pen and ink, printmaking, etc.

DEADLINE: April 18, 2016

NOTIFICATION: Ongoing by April 19, 2016

ENTRY FEE: $5 for up to 5. Entry fee waived for members in good standing of The Haggus Society.

CURATOR: R.L. Gibson (yours truly), a working artist, also serves as the editor of artandartdeadlines.com (AAAD). Trained in classical, French culinary techniques, Gibson created AAAD as a food-themed resource to motivate artists to create their own community, standards & artistic opportunities. In addition to producing her own solo & collaborative art, Gibson has served as a gallerist, juror, teacher & arts administrator for nearly two decades.

AWARDS: To assist resume building, designations of Best of Show, 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place will be awarded; however, cash prizes will NOT be awarded. Award designations will be chosen from the physical work and will be judged based on artistic merit and interpretation of the theme. If not chosen for the gallery exhibit, please note that at the curator’s discretion, ONE image from EVERY artist will go into the online exhibit* with a link to the artist’s website. *Editor’s note: So if you follow all the rules, you can at the very least add the online exhibit to your resume, even if you are not selected for the physical exhibit.

SALES: All work will be considered for sale unless marked NFS. A commission of 30% will be taken on all sales. Please note, 20% commission on cash/check sales and 25% commission on credit card sales is held by Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville. The additional 5-10% commission is retained by AAAD. Unsold artwork will be returned and payment for sold artwork will be made within 30 days of the close of the exhibit.

CALL for ENTRIES: tiny art show

tiny
TREATS

I am fascinated by small food & small restaurants. There is something special about the smallest of goodies served in the smallest of places. One automatically assumes great care has been taken because you have less real estate literally & figuratively to make an impression. Sel et Gras in NYC was always on my list to try, but I heard it closed. Do you have any suggestions I should try? I suggest you take part in this next study in tiny art. This could be a good opportunity for some of you.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Pitt County Arts Council (Greenville, NC) for The Tiny Art Show at Emerge Gallery & Art Center. If you are looking to add a line to your resume from a legitimate arts organization, this is a great resource. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Tiny Divas

Posted on September 1, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

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…

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.

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.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

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

SQUASH

Who knew squeaky food existed? Not me. If you steam summer squash, the outer skin squeaks against your teeth. I love squash, but the squeak gives me the willies. The smaller the summer squash, the less the squeak. Apparently I can only handle the pipsqueaks, hehe, like this next Call. Take a look…

Acrylic Painting

KEIRCE pursued a corporate career while building a business painting commissions—found in private collections the world over. Keirce then focused on galleries & museums. Drawn to small format, she began accumulating awards. She prefers urban landscapes & still life with a Trompe L’Oeil & photo-realism influence. Keirce paints, “colors & shapes with little or no regard to the entire subject until the very end of the painting process.
