will make you cry

Much of the time I spend in my kitchen is with my critters hoping for a morsel of anything I am cooking.  They seem most attracted to the kitchen when I am cooking onions and garlic–two foods dogs can’t digest.  We always want what we can’t have, eh?  This next Call wants YOU, so don’t play hard to get.  Show them your creatures…

Check out this Call for Entries for Creatures from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry is very reasonable, and the juror is well-documented. Take a look…

Creatures

 

From beloved pets to exotic wildlife, animals hold a certain fascination for photographers. They serve us as faithful guardians, trusted steeds, and loyal family members. We invoke them to highlight human traits both good and bad, but also search for our humanity within them.

Photographing both the tame and the wild, we seek kinship that cannot be communicated with words. Whether as taxidermy for study, pets for companionship, or out in the wild, for Creatures, the Kiernan Gallery seeks photographs that depict our complex relationship with the animal kingdom.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Unreal

I just returned from my local apple orchard which also serves as a farmer’s market.  I bought what you would expect: peaches, apples, tomatoes.  But I also came home with patty pan squash.  Some folks call them custard squash, and that should tell you how decadent they taste–out of this world, surreal, defying all logic.  I have to admit that the fact that they are shaped like flying saucers doesn’t hurt their appeal either.  This next Call is looking for your view of the unreal.  Investigate further…

The Unreal

 

Our dreams combine the ordinary and the seemingly nonsensical, where rules of physics and logic do not apply.  Artists exploring this realm depict remembered fantasies or create new ones from their waking imaginations. Their work is a distortion of reality, making everyday objects and environments alien and magical. In photography, optical illusions and modern digital tools have allowed artists to create new visual worlds that blur the line between the real and fantastic. For The Unreal, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images that explore the surreal and otherworldly.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE: September 18, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Artists will be notified of accepted work via email approximately eight days after the submission deadline.

ENTRY FEE: 5 for $25, each add’l $5

CALL for ENTRIES: Portfolio Show

tells all

I don’t cook a lot. I feel confined by cooking a specific meal for the same audience day in and day out.  So, my husband does most of the cooking.  But, brunch is a different story.  Typically if we are cooking brunch (as opposed to dining out), we have guests over in celebration.  Plus, brunch offers an opportunity to show of skills and creations that span breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert–my whole portfolio, if you will.  This next call wants to see YOUR whole portfolio. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for The Portfolio Show from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry is high compared to what I normally published, but I want you to make the decision about value to your own career.  If the shoe fits…

Portfolio Show

 

Every photograph tells a story.  When part of a body of work, the photograph takes on a new meaning, becoming part of a bigger and more complete narrative.  A portfolio allows the photographer to explore the complexities of their subject, and provide context that gives it richness and meaning that is more than the sum of its parts.  The Kiernan Gallery is pleased to announce its first annual portfolio showcase.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE: April 26, 2012

Learn more about the Portfolio Show at the Kiernan Gallery!NOTIFICATION: Artists will be notified of accepted work via email approximately eight days after the submission deadline.

JUROR: For over twenty years Dan Estabrook has been making contemporary art using a variety of 19th-century photographic techniques. Recently he has focused on the earliest paper photographs – calotype negatives and salted paper prints – as sources for hand manipulation with paint and pencil. He balances his interests in photography with forays into sculpture, painting, drawing, and other works on paper.

Dan has exhibited widely and has received several awards, including an Artist’s Fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts in 1994. He is also the subject of a recent documentary by Anthropy Arts. He is represented by the Catherine Edelman Gallery in Chicago, Daniel Cooney Fine Art in New York and Jackson Fine Arts in Atlanta. He lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

AWARDS:  Eight photographers will be selected for the exhibition, split into two shows. Four will show at a time. The first four will show from June 6 – July 14, the other four will show from July 18 – August 25 (groups to be determined by the gallery).

CALL for ENTRIES: Between Dusk & Dawn

I often eat more after dinner than I do the rest of the day combined.  We jokingly assume I have a tape worm, and we have named him “Fred.”  Fred seems to enjoy alternatingly salty and sweet snacks until he finally passes out from exhaustion.  Popcorn then cookies then pretzels then cereal and so on.  It ain’t pretty folks.  This next Call wants to see your view of the hours between dusk and dawn.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Between Dusk & Dawn from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Kentucky).  The entry fee is low, and I am intrigued by the theme.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Between Dusk & Dawn

 

Between the last light of day and the first rays of dawn, the world as we normally see it transforms to one in which nightclubs, all-night stores, third shift workers, and nocturnal wildlife take center stage. Spaces abuzz with activity during the day become quiet and desolate, and artificial light transforms mundane spaces into something almost magical. Photographers who work at night experience a nocturnal world through which most sleep.

The perception of night is different for each photographer. For some, the darkness can present a time for reflection and repose, for others, the fear of the unknown instills feelings of anxiety and uncertainty. For Between Dusk and Dawn, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images that explore the night or other darkness visually, metaphorically, and emotionally.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists

MEDIA:  All photographic media are encouraged.
