NAAN
for me,
thanks
How is it possible that images of deities continue to show up in food? Moreover, how is it possible that it still makes the news? If you were a deity, would “show up on a piece of naan” be on the top of your to-do list? If you were all powerful, would your idea of contemporary portraiture be Indian bread? I didn’t think so. it doesn’t matter who the deity is. Just no. For portraiture, let’s all stick with a Call like this next one. On the wall, not on your plate…
Check out this Call for Entries for Contemporary Portraiture from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, VA). The entry fee is ALWAYS reasonable at this gallery, and I you know how I LOVE portraiture…

Contemporary Portraiture
Historically, portraiture has relied heavily on artistic interpretation of the subject. Photographs, while still embracing the artist’s point of view, record selected surroundings and fractions of seconds. This allows for a different kind of interpretation; one based on real-life context rather than medium and imagination. For Expressions: Contemporary Portraiture The Kiernan Gallery seeks photographs of the self or of others that capture the expression, personality, or mood of the subject.
ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists
MEDIA: Photography
DEADLINE:
February 21, 2014
NOTIFICATION:
Approx. 8 days later
ENTRY FEE:
5 for $25, each add’l $5
JUROR: Robin Rice’s mission is simple: to document the world around her in a cinematic way. Whether capturing the innate beauty of tucked-away South American landscapes or the reflective moments of unknowing subjects, her photographs are always candid. As a photographer, Robin has an earthy and bohemian way of portraying people and situations that is reflective of the way she lives life.
When she is not searching for inspiration from local people and places around the world, she runs The Robin Rice Gallery in New York City. As an artist who feels lucky to be able to parlay her love of the photographic medium into a career, she treats her gallery like a family rather than a business and is dedicated to supporting the work of established and local artists.
AWARDS: All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice will also be announced and both winners will receive a free copy of the catalogue.
SALES: Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works.
The Kiernan Gallery DOES still have incentive to sell your work. The gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.
