FROM SHIP TO SHORE

Letting go of most of my stuff a few years ago was a life-altering experience.  When I decided to move to Gatlinburg, it just happened that the mountain-top chalet I chose came completely furnished.  After some thought, my husband and I decided to keep our own dishes & cookware, computers & TVs, art & art supplies and all of our child’s furniture and toys.  Everything else had to go.  I could pack everything I own in one day.  That’s freedom, folks.

This Call for Entries is another symbol of freedom.  What do you get when you cross a university art department, a dilapidated storage container, wooden palates and a few solar panels?  An art gallery, of course.  The folks at Container Space are looking for submissions for work for the 2011 season.  Check it out…

STEP UP, LADIES!

I try my best to feature as many International all-inclusive shows as I can, but sometimes, just sometimes, I post a call for my own selfish reasons.  And ladies, this is one of those times.  While women certainly do not have the corner on art any more than they have the corner on cooking, we certainly have a unique voice…a unique recipe if you will.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Women’s Caucus for Art for their 2011 National Juried Exhibit.  Based on the idea of your own personal “Hidden City,” this exhibit could also help you make a connection to the Women’s Caucus for Art that could serve to give you and your artwork a new perspective that could last for years.

Call for Entries:
2011 National Exhibition

Artists are invited to explore their idea of their Hidden City , real or imagined, in an array of media. The theme may be broadly interpreted from an activist, political or personal context.

Womens Caucus for ArtNo matter our place in society, we all have our Hidden City, a place of refuge from gender, race, class and sexual exclusions, a place that shapes the feminist viewpoint. Some cities, like wrapped boxes, conceal unexpected gifts, others are riddles and lyrical abstractions.

These are performative spaces where we may imagine retribution for injustices, righting wrongs or conversely, delving into the dark side. Convince the viewer of its viability, a live space filled with passion and imagination!

Check out the 2011 National Juried ExhibitEligibility: Open to all women artists

Prior Snap to Grid reception at LACDA!Gallery Statement:  “Every year for 50 years the L.A. Municipal Gallery has held its ‘Open Call’ exhibit where any artist can show up with their art and an entry fee (to benefit gallery programs) and the piece is shown.

“The Los Angeles Center For Digital Art decided to launch an international experiment of the same nature where the artists upload images that are printed and hung by the gallery. The hundreds of works are displayed in a grid like installation (reminiscent of postcard art shows of the 1980’s) where every work submitted is exhibited.

“The usual (less than democratic) selection process where only the precious few are chosen is turned on its head in a curatorial anarchy where everyone gets to participate and the viewer is literally left to be the judge. The show represents a snapshot of a current moment in art history when digital imaging has reached the hands of the many, an age where culture belongs to the ‘mobblogers’ around the globe.

“From Thailand to Texas, amateur to academic, beautiful to banal and beyond the monumental quantity and variety of “Snap to Grid” becomes an aesthetic experience where each individual piece adds to an agglomerative effect that has a life of its own.”

CALL for ENTRIES: The Spice of Light

RUBBER CHICKEN

I have spent the last two days in a ballroom in Northwest Tennessee at a corporate conference.  As you might imagine, the rubber chicken served at ALL of the conferences was not the highlight of my culinary experience.  However, I am most surprised that what I missed.  More than anything, I missed the sunlight on my face.  Flourescent lighting is not your friend.  Every chance I could find between seminars I stood in the sun.

Imagine my delight to find this great Call for Entries from Vermont Photo Space Gallery called The Spice of Light celebrates the beauty of nature, specifically light, that we find the essence of our souls.  As a phenomenal bonus Vermont Photo Space Gallery, this gallery offers free matting and framing. Take a look…

CALL FOR ENTRIES: The Spice of Light

Fine art nature photographers create emotions, feelings and memories. Sometimes Mother Nature gives you the perfect light, the perfect composition, the perfect colors, and you are able to present your experience exactly as the lens captured it. 

Learn more about the Vermont Photo Space Gallery!Unfortunately, most of the time…she doesn’t. This doesn’t lessen the excitement, the drama, you experienced at the moment of capture.  At times like this, you have to go deep within yourself to discover the colors, lines, and shapes that not only express what you experienced, but also transfer that emotion to the viewer.

Color: the Spice of Light is your opportunity to express nature in a manner that doesn’t necessarily express reality, but does express your feelings and experience at the moment of capture.  And, by all means, if nature gave you that “perfect moment”, then submit that moment!  The Juror wants to see drama through the use of composition, color and light….an image that makes the viewer want to stop and spend time with your creation….an image that makes the viewer FEEL!  Remember, it’s within the beauty of nature that we find the essence of our souls.

Reaching Out 2 by juror Bruce K. Haley, Jr.JUROR:  Bruce K. Haley, Jr. uses the camera lens as his paint brush.  His bold and colorful presentation of nature has made his work much sought after throughout the United States. 

Since November of 2002, Haley’s award-winning art has appeared in over one-hundred exhibitions in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Colorado, North Carolina Michigan, and California.  His work is included in many corporate and private collections including six pieces purchased by the state of West Virginia for their permanent art collection. 

In Bruce’s words, “Photography isn’t about f/stops, shutter speeds or equipment. it’s about living, feeling, seeing.  It’s about opening my mind to learning, not only about the people, places and things around me, but also, about me.  Photography, for me, is life living, life giving.”
