CALL for ENTRIES: Fantastic Fibers

Posted on December 14, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ROUND
the table

My dining room table is round. This makes placemats hard to find because the corners prevent the placemat from getting close enough to the edge. I could buy some ugly plastic ones and trim them, but I want the same beautiful fibers like silk with embroidery or elegant bamboo. And then I saw them, placements made specifically for round tables. This has made my month, thank-you-very-much. This next Call is all about fibers. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Fantastic Fibers 2013 hosted by the Yeiser Art Center (Paducah, KY), Paducah’s Gateway to the Arts. This is show really is fantastic, and you can enter for as little as $12. This is a gem for fiber artists…

OPEN CALL: Ormond Museum

Posted on December 10, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CITRUS
power

Never underestimate the power of food. Grapefruit is now known to interfere with over 70 medications, and many antibiotics have warnings about orange juice. And I am certain that somewhere there are geneticists trying to modify both of these fruits to fix the problem–which is scary, but I digress. The world is your buffet, but you have to make your choices carefully. This next Call looks like a good call to me. But, take a look for yourself…

CALL for ENTRIES: Encaustic Invitational

Posted on December 8, 2012December 16, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

A CANDLE
a day?

One of the things I miss most about being able to shop at the Farmer’s Market or local orchard during the winter is the ability to get wax-free fruit. When I see a waxed apple, I have to assume it is really old. Yes, fruit is waxed to make it “pretty” for consumers, but it is also done to seal in moisture and preserve “weight” for as much as a year. Pick the ugly fruit, please. This next Call uses wax in a much better way. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Humans Being

Posted on December 7, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

COMMON
ground

Food is food, just like people are people. Both food and people are individual, come with their own quirky personalities and some play better with others. You just have to learn to approach each individual food (even coffee) and person with respect, eager to learn what they will offer. Approach this next Call the same way. Investigate…

REMINDER: Detroit Print Exchange

MEAL
cartridges?

I wrote a post a while back about a report I heard that claimed we would all be printing our food in 20 years. Well, I was wrong. Apparently you can print food now thanks to Cornell Creative Machines Lab. OMG, I can’t take this. Luckily, this next Call is about printing of a much better sort. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Detroit Print Exchange for the time we cannot meet. The entry fee is only $20, and this is a golden opportunity for printmakers. Investigate for yourself…

CALL for ENTRIES:
the time we cannot meet

The Detroit Print Exchange is the first of (hopefully many) annual juried art collaborations. Artists are invited to submit an edition of 25 prints and in turn receive a complete portfolio of 20 prints from all 20 contributing artists.

In truth, the The Detroit Print Exchange is a chance to redefine what it means to be a young emerging artist, to prove that good things really do come in small packages, and to build connections between artists working around the country.

The Challenge is to create an edition of 25 prints in response to the words “ the time we cannot meet”. Cryptic yet straight forward the words resonate with missed opportunity and honesty. Today is there truly a time when two people cannot meet? Has technology removed time from how we interact? Explore, create and redefine.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Printmaking

DEADLINE: January 5, 2013

NOTIFICATION: January 31, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $20 for 8 to 10 images

JURY PROCESS: Participants will be selected based on a portfolio of previous work, artist statement and CV, spaces are limited.

AWARDS: The final portfolio will be exhibited in Detroit. Detroit Print Exchange will host an online Portfolio that viewers can access via the internet.

SALES: Limited edition reproductions of the final portfolio will be sold.

REMINDER: Rare Earth

Posted on December 4, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

OHMMMM

Have you heard of “Zen Cooking”? It is the trendy concept that the joy in cooking is in the act of cooking, not the end product. Really? I don’t get it. I cook BECAUSE I love to eat. If the end product isn’t good, then what was the purpose? I suspect it is a rare cook that really GETS this concept, and I wouldn’t be one of them. This next Call celebrates rarity of of another kind. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Rare Earth. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($20), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Rare Earth

It is partially a gift of the subject itself, how varied the genre of landscape photography can be. Combine the extremes of the land each of us has walked, with the variety of visions each of us chooses to communicate, and we’re bound to witness just how rare our earth can be.

They are looking to see a range of what landscape images can be: macro details to vast panoramas, conceptual narratives, abstractions, document, or relational gestures. They hope to feature varied points of view from every crook and bend, angle and junction, on the globe. With your unique images, Darkroom Gallery will honor the extents of this Rare planet we call Earth.

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:
December 12, 2012

NOTIFICATION:
December 19, 2012

JUROR: It is no wonder William Neill has developed a deep, spiritual connection with nature, being a resident of the Yosemite National Park area since 1977. His award-winning photography has been widely collected and exhibited in museums and galleries.

His work has been published in several books, and a retrospective collection of his finest landscape photographs was published by Bulfinch Press/Little, Brown & Co, in 1997, entitled Landscapes of the Spirit. Several periodicals have published his images, and Neill writes a monthly column “On Landscape”, for Outdoor Photographer magazine. Neill’s corporate clients include: Sony Japan, Bayer Corporation, Canon USA, Nike, Nikon, The Nature Company, and Sony Music/Classical.

Perhaps most important to the task of jurying Rare Earth, is Neill’s extensive experience in close observation of others’ work – he has been an instructor of photography for 32 years. Mr. Neill is looking forward to the opportunity to see your work, for the purpose of curating what will be an awe-inspiring exhibition of landscape photographs.

AWARDS: All selected entries are exhibited in the Darkroom Gallery and included in a full color exhibit catalog. Juror’s Choice receives a 30×48″ vinyl exhibit banner featuring their image. People’s Choice gains free entry into a future exhibit.

SALES: Darkroom offers free matting and framing of accepted entries for the duration of each of their exhibitions, subject to standard sizes. Photographers set their own prices if they wish to sell their work and retain all rights to their photographs. For commission details, go to the bottom of the Submission Rules page!

CALL for ENTRIES: Collaborations

SWEET
in pairs

My husband and I don’t cook together often. He doesn’t believe in cleaning while you cook; therefore, a simple bowl of popcorn ends with the kitchen looking like someone washed a pack of dogs in the sink–a disaster area. I enjoy the collaboration, but the clean up is hell. This next Call is about a collaboration of a different sort. Investigate…

BAKING

Menu planning takes lots of creativity, and a little extra cash never hurts. The meal I cook with $30 is vastly different than the meal I cook with a $300 budget. Many of you have been making phenomenal art with a $30 budget. This next Call could be an opportunity to increase your budget. Take a look…

Gathering Clouds: The Winter Studio

REMINDER: The End

THE SLEEPY
bird

Thanksgiving marks the end of a turkey-free holiday streak at my house. Until now, I haven’t had part in cooking a turkey in twenty-eight years. No joking. It isn’t that I dislike turkey so much as I believe that there are far better things to eat. My mother prefers maple-glazed ham; I like curry and honey glazed duck. But, my kid wanted turkey. The kid wins this time; the end of an era. This next Call is all about the end. This deadline is right around the corner…
