CALL for ENTRIES: Poetry

Posted on March 20, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

TRIUMPHANT
cheese

Sometimes it is all about the description. Do you want a grilled cheese? Or do you want a Fromage de Triumph—French peasant bread, brie, pear and a touch of sea salt. I thought so. This next Call is all about the WRITTEN word. A departure, I know…

So, since we publish Vallum’s art Calls, I thought I’d throw the poetry call your way. The entry fee is CHEAP. Take a look…

CALL for APPLICANTS: Creative Residency

Posted on March 12, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

HOT STUFF?
no thanks

I often preach my love of the slow cooker, but I do find it challenging to transition my slow cooker meals into warmer months. I don’t want potato soup, chili or ham ‘n’ split pea when it is 80º outside. I usually crave cold treats like cucumbers. But, each year I eventually stumble across a handful of new recipes that make it work. I love the slow cooker because it gives me the gift of time to do something other than cook. This next Call is all about giving you time to do something other than cook. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Trick of the Eye

Posted on March 11, 2013March 11, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

BEET it

I spent YEARS disguising food both visually and by name. Spinach quiche spent years as “egg pie.” I’ve hidden zucchini in spaghetti sauce, and carrots, onion and celery in virtually everything. I am pleased that I can now look at my kid and say, “Yes, those are beets.” But, the years of trickery served a purpose; he’ll give anything a try now that his palate has been trained to prove his eyes wrong. This next Call is all about tricking the eye. Great theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Trick of the Eye. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Trick of the Eye

Magic that is channeled
in a single shot,
a recalibration of reality,
be the clever and cunning
illusionist behind the lens.

Optical illusions conjured by a variance of processes; from physically meticulous studio setups, to spontaneously captured works of luck, and ones hugely composed in post. Manipulate our perceptions with flourish. Deal with foreshortening, vanishing points, sandwiching negatives or the unique mash up of subjects. Employ sleight of hand use of color and composition that begs us to ask the question,”How ever did they do that?”

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

MEDIA:
Photography

DEADLINE:
April 3, 2013

CALL for ENTRIES: Heroes Surround Us

Posted on March 10, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

SPINACH!
I want spinach

I want to plant salad greens TODAY, but my husband keeps reminding me that the snow is probably not over for the season and that it got down to 29 degrees last night. I love planting salad greens because they are so temporary. They are seeds one day and less than 6 weeks later they are on my dinner table. I can replant, or I can plant something else. This next show deals with the temporal nature of art and heroes. I love this show…

Check out this Call for Entries from the John Michael Kohler Arts Center (Sheboygan, WI) for Heroes Surround Us. There is no entry fee! I love the temporal nature of this exhibit; I love the portraiture aspect. I hope this is an exhibit for you. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Alive and Well

Posted on March 2, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

AND THE CHEESE
stands alone

Nothing can compare to hand-crafted cheeses. Whether is is fresh-pulled mozzarella or organic, farm fresh goat cheese, there is simply nothing in the world like it. The craft, although not frequently practiced, has vastly improved in the past 20 years while other big box manufacturers are creating more and more automated processes. This next Call is sort of the photography equivalent of hand-crafted cheese. Is this one for you?

Check out this Call for Entries from Brass & Bellows (Marine on St. Croix, MN) for Alive and Well, a silver gelatin emulsion photography show. The entry fee is a rare offer, and the commission is only 20%. Don’t miss this opportunity to show at Brass & Bellows…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Alive & Well

“There is a growing misconception that traditional analog photography is dying. I’m not referring to alternative process, either. I am talking SILVER GELATIN. Remember when you were little and you would see in the movies or on TV, that guy in his little red lit room, with pieces of paper hanging on lines and trays of weird liquids. My favorite was the little tongs, like gently saving something fragile from drowning in a sea of chemistry.

“Or, recall the first thrill of watching an image appear on a blank sheet of paper, soaked in that secret solution that brought the image to life as if it had been drawn with magic ink, and you alone knew the spell to free it. Oh no, traditional photography is far from dying, in fact, silver gelatin has seen very interesting things happen to it, perhaps spurred on by the sense of freedom and experimentation motivated by the rebirth of historic process.” — from brassandbellows.com

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography: chemigrams, lumen prints, pinholes, lith prints, straight forward B&W prints, solarography, or paper negatives (or prints from paper negs). Any subject matter is acceptable, as long as the majority of the final image in produced using silver gelatin emulsion.

DEADLINE: April 1, 2013

NOTIFICATION: 10 days after deadline

ENTRY FEE: Pay what you can. Editor’s Note: I cannot express how rare this is.

AWARDS: The gallery director will select 30 – 40 images to be included in the show.

SALES: Brass & Bellows will retain 20% commission.

REMINDER: Show Some Skin

Posted on February 27, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

DON’T BE
a chicken

Chicken skin is bizarre. I frequently buy chicken in bulk then take it home and clean it. Skinning chicken still freaks me out. Clearly, I’ll could never have married into the Alaska: The Last Frontier family. Peach skin gives me the willies too. I think it is a textural issue. Luckily, this next Call is all about skin of the non-chicken variety. The deadline is just around the corner…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Skin

The undulating landscape
of the human form
is one of the most
variable in nature.

Tomatoes really are the showgirls of the fruit and/or veggie world. They are perfect as a sliced accompaniment to eggs for breakfast. They make the perfect lunch as tomato soup. But come night time, they dress up as the essential ingredient of the sexy Caprese salad. This next Call has nothing to do with tomatoes, or showgirls for that matter, but it does beckon from Las Vegas. To-may-to, To-mah-to…

CALL for ENTRIES: Women

Posted on February 25, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

MOMMIE
dearest

I’ve never been accused of being overly maternal. However, my kid will be 14 years old soon, so I must have done something right. He now eats brussel sprouts and asparagus. Another point in my favor–well, OUR favor. It was actually my husband that spent the first 12 years of our kid’s life being the more maternal one. To hell with gender roles. Whatever works is my motto. This next Call wants your slant on being a woman. Approx. 52% of you should have a bird’s eye view of this one…

Check out this Call to Artists for Women from the Linus Galleries (Pasadena, CA). The exhibit offers an online listing as well as the possibility for a showing in one of their brick and mortar galleries. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Open Waters

Posted on February 23, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

DON’T CROSS
the tea

I am mystified by hot tea. Sometimes I like it; sometimes I don’t. Mostly, I don’t. I think it is just years and years of habitually drinking tea cold that has made the warm version so very odd to me. But then again, sometimes I’m not that crazy about iced tea either. I think that in the end, it all comes down to the water. Good water, good tea. This next Call is all about the water. I like this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries for Open Water from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry is very reasonable, and the juror is active and easily researched through her work and her gallery. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Open Water

Water has a long history as subject matter for artists. It is revered for its beauty as well as respected and feared for its unpredictable nature.

Water carves our landscapes, making rivers and streams. It provides sustenance, recreation, and transport. Whether contained in swimming pools, bathtubs, or fountains, or freely flowing waterfalls, currents, and tides, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images of literal and metaphoric interpretations for Open Water.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA:
All photographic media are encouraged.

They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.
