CALL for ENTRIES: Chasing Ghosts II

Learn more about the Chasing Ghosts II exhibit from Verum Ultimum Art Gallery in Portland, OR!spooky SWEET

One of my favorite holidays looms near — Halloween.  There are lots of treats I only make on holidays, and meringue cookies are always a Halloween request.  Years ago I made meringue “ghost” cookies, which are just meringue cookies with eyes of blueberries, chocolate chips or currants; everyone was hooked.  Now they’re expected, of course. Light, crispy, ghostly sweetness.  Traditions are funny sometimes.  This next Call is looking for your ghosts. Your depiction doesn’t have to be literal, and the media is wide open.  Don’t worry, I am not sending meringues…

THEME:  Chasing Ghosts.  “The term ghost may be interpreted in many ways, not necessarily meant to be a literal elucidation.  Does your process manifest an identity within your work that somehow speaks to the past?  What ghosts or parts of the past leave their mark on your work?  Is a legacy revealed through your work or your process? Is memory a vital vehicle of expression for you?  Do you inadvertently honor or flee from something in your past through your work? Artists are encouraged to enter work that is any interpretation of the call.” —verumultimumartgallery.com

CALL for ENTRIES: Photo Shoot 2016

Learn more about the Photo Shoot 2016 Exhibit from the Black Box Gallery in Portland, OR!PRODUCE unboxed, unbagged

Grocery cashiers aren’t my biggest fans.  They seem to take issue with my lack of packaging.  Why do my two lemons need to be in a plastic bag?  Onions come in their own wrapping.  Why would I protect them from getting dirty when I am just going to peel them? Is it really that hard to corral my summer squash and carrots outside of a bag or box?  This next Call is a great reason to think inside the “box”.  Just leave your produce unfettered. Take a look…

I just found out my stove won’t go below 225°.  I was preparing to roast chickpeas instead of drying them in my dehydrator.  But, I usually slow roast them at 200°.  Hmph.  Those 25 degrees make a difference.  You know what I mean.  Haven’t you ever split the difference when you had to bake two things at two different temperatures at the same time?  Something usually suffers.  I’ve eaten many a soggy crust pizza because of this dilemma.  Well this next Call comes from a gallery whose very name involves a melting point reference.  Intrigued?

Check out this Call for Entries from Eutectic Gallery (Portland, OR) for ceramic work.  The fee is fairly standard, but they take both single artists AND pairs.  Take a look…

Eutectic

 

Eu・tec・tic – [yoo-tek-tik] adj.: The proportion of constituents in a mixture that yields the lowest possible complete melting point; often lower than the constituents on their own.

Similar to the relationship between the components that make up clay and their proportions, Eutectic Gallery wishes to explore the relationship between an artist’s process, product, & concept, and the public’s interpretation of, interaction with, and critique of said work.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists

MEDIA:  Ceramic

DEADLINE:  February 8 for the April exhibit (don’t worry…you can submit online) and March 8 for the May exhibit

NOTIFICATION:  Traditionally, within 30 days.  Editor’s Note:  I have tried to contact the gallery for confirmation; however, I have not heard back in time for the February 8th deadline.  I will update when I do.

ENTRY FEE:  For a single artist $25 and $35 for paired artists, either can submit up to 5 images.  Add’l $5 ea.
