CALL for ENTRIES: The Original Show

Posted on August 4, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BAHK BAHK

Farm fresh eggs make me happy the same way daisies make others smile. The only thing close to farm fresh is a Grade AA (found in upscale restaurants and better grocery stores). Most of us eat Grade A eggs from the grocery store with flatish, lemony-yellow yolks, but a fresh egg typically has a bright golden yolk that stands tall when cracked. Years ago, when my husband owned a hot dog shop called the Dog & Cow, he used to trade left over hot dogs (used as chicken feed) for fresh eggs. The eggs had the wonderful aroma of garlic from gourmet hot dogs. We KNEW what we were eating, ha. The gallery in this Call also makes me happy with it’s sort of blatant in-your-face optimism and simplicity. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Flow Art Space (Minneapolis, MN) for The Original Show. This is a fairly new space full of optimism and good will for artists. Maybe this is a show for you…

OPEN CALL: Grand Opera House Galleries

Posted on August 3, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

MAKING me SING!

I seem to have Italian and Greek food on the brain these days. I usually write the food reference paragraph of these posts to see what the Call conjures in my mind and stomach. And, for some reason, it is Italian and Greek these days. Maybe it is the Suzukakia (Greek Meatballs) I had at Athens Restaurant in Nashville this past weekend. So, I got to meatballs because I ran across this Open Call for an opera house. Doesn’t opera make you instantly think meatballs? Maybe it is just me…

OPEN CALL: Drawing Connections

Posted on August 2, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

SAY
CHEESE!

I am frequently asked about my favorite foods, and of course, there are too many to name. However, it would be fair to narrow it down Mediterranean food, Greek and Italian to be exact. I could eat eggplant everyday, and if you add a little Parmigiano-Reggiano… I’m in heaven. All this talk of Italian food makes me want to hand-deliver an entry to this next show. How ’bout you?

CALL for ENTRIES: 3rd Annual Figurative

Posted on August 1, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CHEW and CHOW

I grew up with a jar of chow-chow frequently on the table as THE condiment of choice. For those of you not familiar with this pickled treat, Chow-chow is a pickled relish made from a combination of vegetables. Mainly green tomato, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, carrots and peas are used. These are pickled in a jar & served cold. I’ve always thought this gem had Southern roots, but I’ve recently learned that a sweeter version has it’s roots in Pennsylvania. If you go to the reception for this Call, pick up a jar for me…

This little
PIGGIE
goes to market!

Must I admit that pickled pigs feet give me the willies? They may be lovely, but I find the trend to “pickle” everything other than cucumbers a little disturbing. Plus, there is something about those naked feet in a jar that make me feel guilty looking at them. Wierd, I know. Speaking of naked, this Call for Entries wants your best nudes…maybe your feet.

CALL for ENTRIES: Persona

Posted on July 27, 2011July 27, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

STUFF my
PEPPER!

Am I the only one that wonders what their food portrait would be? I thought so. I think if a portraitist had to capture my image as a food, I would be a mozzarella and proscuitto stuffed pepper… well-marinated, all little salty, a little spicy, and worth every penny, ha. This next Call encourages you to share your best wacky portraits… So use your imagination and take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery in Vermont called Persona. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Darkroom offers free framing & matting on accepted work!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
Persona

“We’re looking for something beyond the traditional portrait – more than just a eloquently captured face. We’re looking for uncanny, parody, distortions, subtle suggestions and in-your-face implications. For “Persona” we’re looking for portraits devised outside the box (or in one, might also be applicable in certain circumstances!) – we want to see the characters you’ve captured.

“There can more to a superb portrait than a superb likeness of an individual a the testimony to their soul can be visioned way beyond the eyes. How much can you tell us about a person with just one image? Their life story? Perhaps. How did you show the idiosyncrasies, quirks, that make your sitters both physically and emotionally, individuals? We can’t wait to fill our gallery walls with a newly visioned kind of face – portrait as character and caricature.”
JUROR: The portraits of Chris Buck have been surprising us, making us laugh, causing us to ask questions, and inspiring us to think outside of the box for years. His brand of image making (over two decades worth) infuses wit with uncommon gesture and implied meaning. He tells more than a story – he creates tales (sometimes through pure expression). Chris was the first recipient for the Arnold Newman Portrait Prize (2007), which we think he so rightfully deserved! His clients include IBM, Microsoft, Moviefone, Citibank, GQ, Blender and The New York Times Magazine. From uncanny celebrity portraits, to advertising humor, to editorial wisdom, Chris Buck has offered us a very special take on our world of Personas.

OPEN CALL: Culture Hall

Posted on July 25, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

DON’T LABEL ME

Generic versus name brand and heirloom versus genetically-modified and cheese food versus cheese. The debates over what makes the grade and what doesn’t will NEVER end. In my kitchen, I read labels and I buy the very best quality that I can afford at the moment. I steer clear of any foods with scary ingredient lists, and I cross my fingers and hope my family enjoys their dinner. This Call is all about the subjective question “is it good enough?” Say some affirmations in the mirror and take the leap…

CALL for ENTRIES: Edges & Curves

Posted on July 22, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FRIED THIGHS

When I think of the foods of my youth, I think of… Banquet Fried Chicken. I know, I know. I was reared by my father, alone, between the ages of 3 and 13, and we ate anything and everything pre-packaged or ready-made that we could because I did all the cooking from age 5 up. Do not send me letters about child labor or processed food, please; it was not a choice… it just was. Oddly enough, I suspect my child will remember granola bars and french bread pizza as the foods of his youth. Wonder if I’ve really made much of an improvement, ha. This next Call has me wondering what the food of my 40’s will be. Any suggestions?

Check out this Call for Entries from The Haggus Society for Edges & Curves at The Glass Studio in Highland Park, CA. The entry fee is only $12 for 6 images; however, there are age restrictions. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Edges & Curves

Edges & Curves, Nothing In Between attempts to bust the myth that the older creative has lost her or his edge.

In a youth oriented society, the conventional wisdom is that the younger artist is the risk taker and rule breaker. And while those who would follow conventional wisdom believe we soften as we get older, there are those who actually hone their edges to craft a message with more bite and risk because of their station in life.

ELIGIBILITY: This event is open to any artist 40 years and older.

MEDIA: 2D (no larger than 32″ x 44″) or small 3D (no larger than 14″ x 10″ x 8″)

DEADLINE: Midnight September 1, 2011

NOTIFICATION: Artist email notification September 10, 2011

ENTRY FEE:
$12 submission fee for 6 images

SALES:
The Haggus Society retains 40% of all sales.

ABOUT THE SPONSOR: The Haggus Society is a group catering to creative feminists over the age of 40 who share a vision of empowering Woman’s position in the arts and society via the support of cultural acts and practices as well as direct action. The Haggus Society is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the purposes of The Haggus Society must be made payable to Fractured Atlas and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
