CALL for PROPOSALS: The Soap Factory

Posted on August 31, 2010November 4, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

MONEY FOR DESSERT

Most professional artists rely on art sales for income. Most emerging artists hope for art sales for extra income for supplies. Many prestigious art shows come with publicity and great printed materials, but lots of artists never get to go to out-of-town openings due to financial constraints. So, how do you afford to produce work, submit work, get to attend the openings and still afford to eat dessert?

Maybe this Call for Submissions from The Soap Factory could be the answer to your art entry problems. The Soap factory is looking for work for group exhibits, AND they offer installation support, travel, accommodations, and a stipend to those selected to exhibit.

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: The Soap Factory

The Soap Factory exhibits work in its galleries throughout the year. Exhibitions curated from submissions are typically comprised of 8-10 artists. The Soap Factory is a 120-year old ex-industrial warehouse on the banks of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis.

They have no climate control, air conditioning or permanent heating system just some simple coil heaters; please bear this in mind when submitting your work. Projects by individual artists that propose to use the entire 12,000 sq feet of gallery space are always encouraged.

They are particularly interested in proposals conceived specifically for The Soap Factory galleries. (So do your homework!) Their programming is unique in that they select only a small proportion of the artists they exhibit from their pool of submissions. They commonly receive 400 artist submissions per season.

DEADLINE: November 30, 2010. They do NOT accept e-mailed submissions so this is a POSTMARK deadline.

REVIEW DATES: Submissions are reviewed for exhibition between May 1st and October 31st.

NOTIFICATION: March 2011

They may keep your submission on file for up to 8 months. Do not call or email to check on your submission. The Soap Factory does not return work. Please only send materials that you do not need to be returned.

The Soap Factory is committed to diversity in audience, staff and programming. To assist them in achieving our diversity goals, please indicate your ethnicity or cultural background. Please note that compliance or non-compliance with this request will NOT affect the status of your submission.

The Soap Factory provides full installation support for all selected projects, including travel and accommodation, as well as a stipend to artists. They provide publicity, exhibition invitations, mailings, opening reception and artist talks. However, they do not provide insurance coverage for work exhibited at The Soap Factory.

OPEN CALL for SOLO Art Exhibit: San Francisco

SINGULARITY

Somethings are best alone…like pomegranite seeds…and art exhibitions. I love the rare occasion that I get an art gallery all to myself as a viewer.

CALL for ENTRIES: GaGa Arts

Posted on August 29, 2010September 10, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

SIMPLE
RECIPE

Many of you have become very focused on the complicated twists and turns of art entries. My experience is that artists have been trained to believe that galleries and museums speak in a special language or have their own inner sanctum that you have to join to be able to show you work. I want to encourage you not to be quite so suspicious of opportunities. It isn’t always a complicated recipe…sometimes it is simple as a home-grown tomato.

I want you to consider this Call for Entries from Gaga Arts Center for la conexión. There is no formal call on their website, there aren’t really any strict guidelines. This is a simple chance for you to submit your work for consideration. Let’s all just relax and say “thank you.” Give it a try…

CALL for ENTRIES: la conexión

“La Conexion” an exhibition of Latin American artists and Latin American themed artwork in any medium. It will be in an 8,000 square foot gallery at the art center from Oct 15-Nov 21st 2010.

DEADLINE: Submission deadline is September 15th, 2010. As of September 10th, this exhibit is complete and no longer accepting submissions.

MEDIA: Any media will be considered including, but not limited to: paintings, drawings, photographs, sculpture, performance art, dance, music, film, video, animation and food.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Email images and bios to jsgalleryinfo@gmail.com. Yes, that’s all you really have to do. However, I encourage you to be responsible and limit your image sizes and numbers so that their email is not bogged down with downloads.

ENTRY FEE: There seems to be no entry fee. It just keeps getting better, eh?

ABOUT THE GALLERY: GAGA Arts Center is a not-for-profit arts organization located in the Garnerville Arts and Industrial Center, an historic textile mill built in the 1830’s, in New York’s Lower Hudson Valley. Just 45 minutes up the Hudson River from NYC, and closer still to many Westchester County, Rockland County, and New Jersey localities, GAGA is now the home to a thriving arts community for visual artists, performance artists, and artisans.

The GAGA Art Center has over 15,000 square feet of gallery space. This includes their Main Gallery, the raw Dye Works Gallery space, and the two white rooms of Gallery B for smaller scale exhibitions as well as video, film, or performance presentations.

Exhibitions of new work, by established and emerging artists are presented throughout the year. Students and developing artists are invited to submit their work for their annual student and juried membership exhibitions.

Questions, email GAGA Arts Center!

EDITOR’S NOTE: I receive a significant number of Calls in my email inbox. Many of them are very detailed, and I applaud Curators, Jurors, and Gallery Directors for trying to cover every question and every detail.

However, I am truly touched when I receive a request that says, “I would love to consider your artists’ artwork.” No promises or guarantees, Curator At Large, Jonathan Shorr offers you a simple opportunity. Don’t let me down folks. Don’t use the Latin American theme as an excuse. They are looking for connections to Latin America, not necessarily a chart of your family tree.

EXPRESS YOURSELF

Freedom of Expression is a right held sacred by every artist I know–like breathing, eating…being. Without the right to express oneself politically, creatively, and personally, the world becomes a scary, dark place. Many of us take this basic freedom for granted.

CALL for ENTRIES: Where are YOU from?

Posted on August 20, 2010August 20, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

SIMPLE AS PIE

I adore themed work, and I’m just narcissistic enough to love an autobiographical theme even more, ha. As artists we’re programmed to put our demons and dirty laundry on display, but what about the sometimes subtle undertones that influence your work…like where you’re from. Seems simple as pie, right? Maybe, maybe not.

Check out this great Call for Entries from the Lander Art Center in Wyoming named As It Turns Out, I’m from… whose idea is to connect your work to roots of childhood or home or whatever works for you. The deadline for entries is September 8th, and there are $1000 in prizes up for grabs!

CALL for ENTRIES: As It Turns Out, I’m From…

At a conference where an artist once spoke about her work in detail, the audience laughed out loud when halfway through she said, “As it turns out, I’m from Pittsburgh.” After learning so much about her artwork it seemed perfectly fitting that her large steel sculptures would be influenced by this historically industrial city.

Many of us make an exodus at some point in our lives– to seek out a life of our own. Those who don’t make an exodus might gladly identify with their background. Either way, our roots often appear in subtle and interesting ways even if we don’t intend for it to happen or notice until later.

THE THEME: The object is to connect your artwork to your roots. The connection may be as simple as the artist mentioned above from Pittsburgh who makes large steel sculptures. Or it may be a connection more direct like painting place related childhood memories or using found objects from your hometown. The interpretation of the connection is in the hands of the artist. Your “home” can be a city, state, country, culture or even a state of mind. Whatever the connection, the Lander Art Center wants you to discover it and share it.

PRIZES: $1000 in prizes are up for grabs! $500 1st Prize, $300 2nd Prize, & a $200 3rd prize

JUROR: Cheryl Delong of Global Arts Gallery, located in Lander, will be the juror.

COMMISSION: The commission on sold artwork is 40%. Selling art is a priority for the LAC. We prefer art that is for sale, but it is not a requirement for show entry.

DEADLINE for completed entries, Wednesday, September 8, 2010. There are 5 items needed to enter, see below. Entry will not be processed without all 5 items.

NOTIFICATION will be emailed Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Please add frontdesk@landerartcenter.com to you contact list and be sure to write your email address on the entry form.

DELIVERY: Accepted artwork is due Friday, September 24, 2010 at the Lander Art Center, 224 Main St., Lander, WY 82520. Please package your artwork well and write your name on the packaging.

TO APPLY: Please mail images on a cd labeled with your name to Lander Art Center, 224 Main Street, Lander, WY 82520 or email to frontdesk@landerartcenter.com:

Up to 3 images (created in the past 3 years):

Dimensions: 1920 pixels for the largest dimension (the other dimension will be less than or equal to 1920 pixels)

File Format: Save all images as BASELINE Standard JPEG. Do not save as a Progressive JPEG.

CALL for ENTRIES: Figuratively Speaking

Posted on August 14, 2010September 22, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

SWEET & SOUR

As I frequently shout from the mountain top, I love portraiture. I love faces, specifically. But when I began my Psychomachia project with Arizona artist Jerry Portelli, he challenged me to limit my use of faces and to concentrate on other figurative depictions. The process started on a sour note but has ended up pretty sweet…a lemon drop, if you will.

Maybe “Figuratively Speaking,” the National Call for Entries from the Emerging Young Artist (EYA) Organization and the Village Gallery in Montgomery, AL, will be your lemon drop, too. The entry fee is a reasonable $35, and the Best of Show winner will get a solo show at the Village Gallery. You know you want the show…so go for it.

National Juried Call for Entries: Figuratively Speaking

“Figuratively Speaking” is not limited to the traditional/contemporary aspects of the human forms, conditions, interactions, and abstractions of the human body. “Figuratively Speaking” includes figuration in contemporary design in terms of shapes, lines, and colors.
