DOWN SOUTH: Four Calls for Entries

Posted on July 28, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

LOTS OF CALLS!

Many mallowmars ago, I swore off lists on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. You guys didn’t like reading them, and I didn’t like writing them. We’re both happier now. However…

I received a group of Calls for Entries (none of them regional) all from the same organization, the Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville (TN). I have entered two of the four shows before and was juried into both. I like couldn’t pass on the opportunity for you, but I also didn’t want to get the email suggesting I’m playing favorites by covering the same gallery 4 times in a couple of weeks. My solution? Here are four of the Calls for Art Entries in abbreviated fashion:

Knoxville’s Arts District Banner Competition

Receipt deadline: August 20, 2010
The winning design will be printed on 26 banners to be hung from street poles in the Knoxville Arts District (primarily along the 100 & 200 Blocks of Gay Street).

CALL for ENTRIES: The Map as Art

Posted on July 26, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

ART ON THE GO

In our mobile world, it seems that all of life revolves around fast food, GPS and mobile phones. Maps have become a rarely used–and lately a little understood–artform.

When I think of maps as an artform, I think of the fantastical maps of Canadian Artist Shane Watt. (Ironic considering the call is limited to US Artists). So, I was really excited to find this Call for Entries from Sebastopol Center for the Arts celebrating the Map as Art.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Mapworks

Sebastopol Center for the Arts invites artists living in the United States to submit work to Mapworks: the Map as Art. SCA is looking for art which references maps and mapmaking.

This may be done directly or indirectly, metaphorically, or conceptually. The terrain may be (but is not limited to) geographic, psychological, political, historical, cultural, mathematical, imaginary, or personal.

All media is acceptable, including installation. Video and film should be submitted as a DVD in loops no longer than 4 minutes; selected artists will need to supply their own equipment for display.

JUROR: Kim Anno is a painter, bookmaker, collaborator and Professor and Chair of Painting, at the California College of the Arts, San Francisco. Her advocacy of the arts has enjoined her talents as curator, artist-in-residence, juror, lecturer, and interviewer. In addition, her diverse practice has led her into important collaborations with writers, visual and performance artists.

DEADLINE: Hand-delivered entries will be accepted at SCA on Monday, August 30, between 3 and 6 pm. Entries by jpegs on CD must arrive by 5 pm, on or by that date. Please see prospectus for complete guidelines.

ENTRY FEES:

SCA members, $10 per entry or 3 entries for $25 (membership is $40 annually).

Nonmembers, $15 per entry, or 3 entries for $40. Maximum, 3 entries per artist.

AWARDS:

$200 Best of Show

$50 Coordinators Award & Merit Awards

CALL for ENTRIES: 7 Deadly Sins in Miami

Posted on July 25, 2010October 20, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

SINFUL…
Like Chocolate

I never cease to be amazed at how often I trip across artist opportunities when on a completely different mission to find source or inspiration material for my own work. While searching for some reference material to shoot my last piece “Greed” for the series Pyschomachia that I’ve been working on with Arizona Artist Jerry Portelli, I tripped across this great call for the Seven Deadly Sins from Miami’s Bakehouse Art Complex.

Call for Entries: ¡Sin!

A national juried exhibition of original work inspired by a traditional concept of human transgressions. Lust, envy, gluttony, sloth, greed, wrath and pride have had an enormous impact on the moral compass of the modern world. With many different interpretations and understandings, each individual sin has been explored and exposed numerous times.

The Bakehouse Art Complex located in the Wynwood Arts District, Miami FL is announcing a Call to Artists for ¡SIN! to be on view during the world renowned art fair Art Basel Miami 2010.

In its 2,600 square foot gallery, the artists, chosen by a reputable panel of curators, will display their works that are directly related to one of the deadly sins.

Each of the seven sins is explored, from their origins and nature, their opposing virtue, and their corresponding punishment through a variety of media and styles from across the country.

Applicants will have the opportunity to present their work to a highly distinguished panel of jurors consisting of Museum and respected Art Professionals from Miami.

Each juror has chosen a specific sin, which they will individually curate. Jury panel is listed below. All Media Welcome.

GALLERY REPRESENTATION: Printmakers

Posted on July 24, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

PRINTMAKERS DESERVE
TO EAT CHEESE!

We always want what we can’t have. I want to live on blue cheese, but my family has explain that it isn’t really an option. Printmakers want shows to enter…and it really should be an option.

CALL for ENTRIES: TOYS

Posted on July 23, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I love toys.

As an adult, there are two things for which I am always trying to invent excuses…eating dessert for breakfast…and buying cool artistic toys. I have been rationalizing away “bressert” (as we call it in my house) for years, but now I have a great reason to buy toys…research.

The Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock has a Call for Entries out for the 37th Annual Toys Designed by Artists show with Purchase Awards totaling $2500. The toys don’t have to be functional and is open to all artists internationally–not just regionally. Take a look…

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Toys Designed by Artists

This delightful and ever popular competition was created to recognize and celebrate the playful side in each of us – artists and viewers alike. Toys may be functional, nonfunctional, child friendly, child proof, too delicate or scary to touch, or begging for tactile tinkering. Successful entries are creative, original, featuring excellence of design and superior craftsmanship.

DEADLINE: September 13, 2010

JUROR: The juror for 2011 is Jim Bartz. Bartz has a BFA in Illustration from The Choinard Art Institute (now Cal Arts) in Los Angeles and as a working toy artist has taught in Northern California for 35 years. He is an active member in The Puppeteers of America.

HOW TO ENTER: Complete the information, upload images, and pay a non-refundable fee ($15 for the first submission, and $10 for each additional) using the online form by September 13th, 2010.

GUIDELINES: Each artist may enter up to three entries that are original, completed within the last two years, and not previously exhibited at the Arkansas Arts Center.

NOTIFICATION AND DELIVERY: Notifications of selected submissions will be mailed beginning October 12, 2010. Selected works must arrive at the Arkansas Arts Center by November 12, 2010. The artist will be forwarded any sales inquiries and works not for sale may be noted on the entry form.

CALL for ENTRIES: Managed Landscapes

Posted on July 21, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

SHOW ALREADY!

I spend a lot of time answering artists’ excuses about why they don’t enter shows or put their work out there. I have heard them all, and some of them are legitimate.

With the accessibility of digital cameras, photography has taken a hard hit in the retail arena. Many consumers no longer see the value in purchasing photos that they believe they “can take themselves.” Please don’t write to me about all the things wrong with that argument…I get it.

As a result of that sentiment, many emerging photographers have to be very savvy with how and where they choose to submit work. The cost of entry fees, packaging, matting and framing add up fast. Here’s a great Call for Entries from Vermont Photo Space Gallery that takes these concerns to heart and offers free matting and framing. Take a look…

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Managed Landscapes

The touch of man on the natural landscape is all around us. From shimmering cityscapes and rural farms to strip mines and garbage dumps. Let’s see images that show the touch of man, light or heavy, on the earth around us.

“Contemporary landscape photography’s insights and observations reach far beyond the natural environment. A close examination of the land will often reveal more about ourselves as individuals, communities, and society at large.” — Thomas Bachand

Up to 44 photographs will be chosen by juror Thomas Bachand for exhibition at the Vermont Photo Space Gallery, on our website and in a
full color catalog available to the public for purchase.

JUROR: Thomas Bachand has been a professional photographer for over a decade, working in both traditional and digital mediums. His photography has appeared in magazines, advertisements, brochures, and textbooks – both in print and on the web. He writes on digital imaging issues for professional trade publications and lecturers on photography and technology issues.

Tom is the author of Lake Tahoe: A Fragile Beauty. In addition to private collections, his photography can be found in the Bancroft Library and the California Historical Society.

Thomas Bachand’s photography is a consideration of the land and the competing visions that inform our interaction with the world at large. Core to the work is its accessibility to the viewer. The use of color and a documentary style allow for an open and immediate connection to the subject.

By embracing a historical perspective, the photography captures a sense of honesty characteristic of the medium’s early pioneers. Whether creating a single, evocative image inviting reflection or a series conveying a sense of time and place, Bachand’s exploration includes the role of storyteller.

He seeks a convergence of the ordinary – extraordinary only in so much as it is revealing, offering both possibility and contemplation.

RULES FOR PHOTO SUBMISSIONS:

Age: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger. a parent or legal guardian may make the submission for you.

Ownership: All submitted photos must have been taken by the photographer making the entry. If you are a parent or legal guardian submitting for a minor, please make it clear.

DPI is only relevant for output purposes and does not effect the stored size of the image. It can be set to any number, but if you must specify something go with 72 dpi.

FEES: Up to three images may be submitted for a fee of $20 US for on-line submission and $25 for email submission. Additional images may be submitted for an additional $5 US per image.

DEADLINE: Images must be received by midnight EST on the submission closing date August 18, 2010 for the exhibition for which you are submitting. Payment must be received by the close of submissions August 18, 2010 for the exhibit for which you are submitting.

CALL for ENTRIES: Gender Definition

Posted on July 19, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I am a product of a Southern upbringing and all the loveliness–and baggage–that goes with it. As a woman in the South, we are often expected to be in charge in the boardroom, have dinner on the table by 7…and do it all in heels and pearls.

Gender issues have been the subject of art for as long as art has been a subject. “Girl, Please!” is a Call for Entries from the Woman Made Gallery in Chicago and is a great exhibit opportunity to re-examine gender issues from a slightly different perspective.

Take a look…

Call for Entries:
Girl, Please!

Exhibition Dates: November 5 – December 23, 2010

“We are all born naked, the rest is just drag” -Rupaul

Gender is a performance, an act that is perpetuated and maintained by societal norms and expectations, but how, and to what extent does it define us? “Girl, Please!” seeks to push and transcend the definition of gender while also exploring its relation to individual character amongst collective expectations. Bearing in mind Rupaul’s statement, drag in this case is not disco, but rather an illustration of feminity and masculinity in shades of grey.

Open to all genders! Artwork in all media may not exceed 72” horizontally, frame included. Please include an artist statement and a $30 entry fee.

Online Entries Submit jpgs of up to three of your works on our website.

Mailed Entries Mail slides or cd with images of three of your works, completed entry form, and a $30 entry fee to Woman Made Gallery, 685 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, IL 60642.

Jurors: Kristen Carter and Emanuel Aguilar

Kristen Carter is WMG’s Gallery Coordinator. She is a graduate from DePaul University, and has a BA in History of Art and Architecture with a minor in Studio Art, in addition to studying Art History and Fine Art in Florence, Italy. Carter is a Ph.D candidate in Art History at the University of British Columbia as of September 2010. She is also a member of the Keeper Team for ArtSlant Chicago where she writes monthly reviews about art exhibitions in Chicago, and writes for the online art magazine, Jettison.

Emanuel Aguilar is assisting Woman Made Gallery with its exhibition programs. In addition he volunteers his marketing skills to the organization. He is a Fine Arts Major at Columbia College with concentration in Identity Politics and a Minor in Marketing, and he studied in Florence, Italy at the Lorenzo De Medici University. Aguilar works for Chicago’s Jean Albano Gallery and A & D Gallery. He has curated several exhibitions, and helped found the online arts magazine, Jettison.

Entry Deadline: August 11, 2010

PORTFOLIO REVIEW: A Call for Solo Show Proposals in San Francisco

Posted on July 18, 2010July 18, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I have been preaching about submitting your work for consideration for solo shows… and sometimes you guys make me look really good–like the prize winning pie at the county fair, in fact.

I posted a great call for Art Portfolio Reviews from Alphonse Berber Gallery in Berkley, California last week and clearly some of you must have listened because I just received another Call for Portfolios for Solo Shows from their San Francisco location known as Alphonse Berber Projects.

So, finish that piece of pie and check out this Call for Portfolio Review!

Alphonse Berber Projects presents single-artist exhibitions and features the widest possible range of mediums.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: San Francisco Area Photographers – No Entry Fee

Posted on July 17, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

BAY AREA CALL

Do you have any idea how hard it is to cleverly sneak in a food reference in every post? I really try to make a solid tie in, but it is harder than you might think. I am inspired by silly puns and great pictures and phenomenal food, but I am stumped today…so you’ll just have to forgive the cliche today.

I also try to cater my posts to the national and international variety; however, sometimes I can be swayed to post a regional call. I was swayed to post this Call for Entries, sponsored in part by the San Francisco Arts Commission, because I have a soft spot for photography and the region is pretty large and SFAC typically does a great job of stepping outside its own region to be a part of the national and international community. So, even if you’re not from the bay area, check out the the San Francisco Arts Commission’s other opportunities!
