CALL for ENTRIES: Nature Group Show

Posted on August 17, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

HOME-GROWN
Seafood?

I long to live off the grid, both for the consumption of energy resources AND for culinary purposes. I am not the greenest or environmentally conscious person that ever lived. My family and I do what we can. But, we long to live off the grid via solar power, cistern water collection and home-grown food. We want a life free of debt for electricity, water and groceries. I haven’t figured out how to tackle the seafood and cell phone issue, but I stand in awe of at least the idea of depending solely on nature for survival. This next call invites you to celebrate the wonder of nature. Great opportunity for a California show!

CALL for ENTRIES: 25th Annual National Juried

Posted on August 16, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

NUTS for
LOBSTER

When I think of Georgia, I start craving lobster bisque. Yes, I know that Georgia is the Peach State, but as I have mentioned before… I have peach issues. Georgia conjures images of trips to Savannah with my mother for glorious lunches at the River House of Caesar salad made fresh at our table, rich and creamy lobster bisque, and a huge slice of pecan pies. You can’t touch that with peaches. So this next Call is over 250 miles from Savannah, but it is still Georgia. If you can’t find the bisque while at the opening, pecan pie can’t be far away…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Narrative Image

Posted on August 15, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CANNED FOOD

There are very few truly black foods. Black truffles, black and white cookies, squid ink pasta… none of those are truly black in color. When I think of black foods, one shining, delicious example comes through immediately. Wild sturgeon roe from the Caspian Sea… Caviar. Yes, fish eggs. If you can’t get over what it is long enough to try it, you are missing out one of the culinary wonders of the world. It doesn’t have to cost thousands. Like wine out of a box, there is an audience for every grade of caviar. This next Call takes the black caviar out of the tin and into the box, the Black Box. Keep reading…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Narrative

One Picture is worth a thousand words is a common belief that information can be conveyed more accurately and efficiently by images than words.

Contemporary photographers are crafting and documenting new forms of a visual short story.

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to all photographers world wide, both amateur and professional.

MEDIA: Photography. Black Box will provide all framing, matting and printing for our exhibitions.

Andres coordination of rich, stylized color palettes, elaborate sets, vintage wardrobes and dramatic lighting recall Hitchcock thrillers, fashion photography and tableau photographers like Gregory Crewdson, Jeff Wall, Annie Liebowitz, Larry Sultan and Cindy Sherman. Her work explores elliptical narratives, visually descriptive storytelling and constructed fantasy.

AWARDS: This exhibition will have 20 photographers included by the juror.

SALES: Black Box Gallery takes a 50% commission on all sales, 50% goes to the photographer. If artist prefers the print does not have to be for sale.

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Artist A Day

COLD
CAFFEINE…
with a pinch

Sometimes it takes just a pinch of an ingredient to make a dish complete. Have you ever tasted something delectable and said, “What IS that flavor?” I have theories of my own including nutmeg in diet Coke. But not all special ingredients are a secret. Pesto requires basil, but I prefer walnuts to pine nuts, and an art career requires publication…and a website. If you have a website, this could be the nutmeg in your diet Coke. If you don’t have a website, here’s another reason to invest…

Check out this Opportunity from ArtistADay.com to be a Featured Artist! There is no entry fee, membership is free, and you could win a feature post with links back to your website, but you have to have a website. And no, they don’t sell website service, ha. You’ve got nothing to lose…

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Artist a Day

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists, but you MUST have a website. They are selective of the Artists they showcase, and the body of work they represent. In fact, they only showcase one or two works by the Artist that serve as an entry point for their members to explore that artist further, both on and offline.

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: Ongoing

ENTRY FEE: There is no entry fee.

AWARDS: A feature post including two images and links back to an artist’s personal website. Editor’s note: Testimonials from previously featured artists indicate that the surge in traffic flow to their sites is significant.

CALL for ENTRIES: Off the Cuff

MUSTARD
du jour?

Spontaneous food creation is my favorite kitchen activity. There is nothing more exciting than finding a use for dijon mustard when it is the last seasoning you have left because you haven’t had time to make it to the grocery store this week. By the way, dijon mustard makes an excellent oil-free way to thicken homemade salad dressings. This next call asks you to submit your best spontaneous, unrehearsed photography for exhibition. I love this idea…

CALL for ENTRIES: Art & Psyche

Posted on August 10, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

LAY ME DOWN…
on chocolate

It has been suggested that I seek professional help for my food obsession. However, like any well-seasoned food addict, I prefer to think of myself as food-educated or food-curious, not just food-obsessed. I’m certain a psychoanalyst could figuratively feast on my many stufffed, food-related issues. Where’s the couch? (Speaking of couches, check out the cake couch entitled “You Can’t Have Your Cake and Eat It Too”, the chocolate couch was created by Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich for an art-exhibit appropriately named “Let Them Eat Art”.) Maybe this next call would give me some insight. Never miss an opportunity to self-analyze, ha…

CALL for ENTRIES: Toys Toys Toys

Posted on August 9, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

ORANGE you…
TEMPTED?

We’ve all been told not to play with our food. And, none of us really understood why parents made this blanket statement. As an adult, I still don’t understand why. If my kid wants to play with his food then have to eat it while it is cold… well, those are his lumps in his potatoes, not mine. Apparently, I’m not alone in valuing the play-value of food. Take a look at a great book called Food Play by Joost Elffers and Saxton Freymann (not paid sponsors, I assure you). This next Call certainly encourages you to play, but not necessarily with your food. Investigate for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Toys: Re-Invent, Re-Imagine, Re-Discover. This show offers a GREAT OPPORTUNITY for holiday art sales. Don’t miss this…

CALL for ENTRIES:
TOYS, Re-Invent, Re-Imagine, Re-Discover

This exhibit seeks works of art that use toys and children’s playthings as the inspiration, subject matter, and/or medium with the goal of creating playful, amusing, nostalgic, or poignant commentaries on the role of toys in our lives. Many of us hold fond memories of special toys that yielded hours of entertainment and can vividly remember when a treasured toy was lost, broken, stolen, or otherwise retired.

For these reasons and more, toys can be a powerful art medium, conjuring up both treasured and difficult memories of childhood, past friendships, and other recollections. From the utterly outrageous to the sappy and sentimental, this exhibit will include all media, small to large scale. The exhibit will be installed in the Main Gallery of the Arts Building, but a small number of outdoor works will be considered for the Sculpture Garden. The jury seeks works that are engaging, and fun, and above all, playful!

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to artists age 18 and older working in the U.S.

MEDIA: All media types are welcome; small to large scale; indoors and outdoors.

DEADLINE: August 26, 2011

NOTIFICATION: Via email on or before September 2, 2011

ENTRY FEE: Artists must submit a $25 non-refundable entry fee for up to four entries. Entry fee must be paid by check, money order, or credit card. Each entry must be submitted with three images of the artwork, including one overall view of the artwork, one detail shot, and one installation shot. There is a returned check fee of $25.

JUROR: Andrew Wodzianski, Professor of Art, Division of Communication, Art & Humanities, College of Southern Maryland

AWARDS: Annmarie will present cash awards to outstanding work. Jurors will review installed works (not application images) for award selection. If possible, selection will occur prior to the exhibit opening and awards will be presented at the opening reception. Award amounts are contingent upon sponsorship; typically there are at least three awards ranging from $250-$750 each. All award winning artists will receive an invitation for a solo or group show.

SALES: Works selected for exhibition cannot be removed before the end of the exhibition. Should a sale resulting from the exhibition occur, Annmarie will retain a 40% commission of the listed sale price.

BEANS to NUTS

You know what I haven’t eaten in years? Boston Baked Beans candy. Remember those red, candy coated peanuts you used to love? They don’t really look like boston baked beans to me, although I do suppose they have one thing in common the their more savory counterpart… a dose of protein that is well-hidden in sugar. Well, you don’t have to go to the Boston area to get either of these culinary treats; however, it might be a goofy distraction while you are in town for your show opening once you apply to this next Call.

SUGARY
GREEN-NESS

Remember when green beens were everyone’s “go to” vegetable? They were in every frozen meal and stocked in everyone’s pantry for a quick addition to any meal. I suspect that’s how they got their bad reputation with kids. I have noticed lately that sugar snap peas seem to be the new green beans. Luckily, I love them, and kids seem to like the fact that they are a little sweeter than tried-and-true green beans. Deciding to enter this next exhibition should be (you guessed it)… a snap.

As I have mentioned on so many occasions, I love kitchen gadgets. I love everything from 1940s egg scales to the idea of a torch for carmelizing creme brulee.
