CALL for SUBMISSIONS: the Whit

Posted on July 25, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

breakfast
BANANAS

Everyone has to eat on the run sometimes. Not every meal can be separated into courses that stretch out over 2 hours. But, compact meals don’t have to be of lesser quality just because they are rushed. My favorite all-in-one breakfast is bananas with crunchy peanut or almond butter with a few berries chopped for the top. Compact but quality–just like this 4 in 1 Call. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Submissions from Gallery W @ the Whit (Pittsfield, MA) for ALL of their shows for the year. You read that correctly. You have until August 20th to submit work in 4 categories, and the categories are GREAT…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Bicycle

Posted on July 16, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

MEALS
on 2 wheels

If you work on a bicycle (cop, messenger, etc), how do you bring your lunch to work? It isn’t as though bike messengers ride around on trikes with baskets on the back. Are they, by nature of their transportation, doomed to eat out for lunch everyday. I’m going to assume they make a special lunch bag just for cyclists. This next Call is all about the bicycle as well. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Oil & Water

Posted on July 10, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

OIL
me up

Olive oil seems quintessentially Italian to me. But, did you know that the top producer of olive oil, by a fairly wide margin, is Spain? I always think of it as Italian or Greek. This next Call is not just about oil, but water too. Take a look at this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Woman Made Gallery (Chicago) for Oil & Water, a juried painting exhibit. This is a fantastic venue (personal experience) in a town known for having a great art scene. Give it a try…

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstraction

Posted on July 8, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

ROMAINE
parm & garlic

I’ll take the Abstracted Caesar–hold the deconstruction. I love it when culinary lingo takes a weird side trek. Apparently the minute difference is that deconstructed food is technically a dish with ALL of its components separated. Meanwhile, abstracted food features only the main components separated out. Hilarious. In the meantime, this next Call wants your Abstract work, not deconstructive work. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Santa Cruz Art League (CA) for Degrees of Abstraction. We love this arts organization, and the juror has a well-documented personal style that runs contrary to the exhibition’s theme. Interesting…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Abstraction, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Abstraction

Moving beyond verisimilitude abstraction frees the artist from the object. This opens the door for a vast variety of visual interpretations which indeed makes abstract art the most challenging. The artist’s facility with the materials & focus on surface makes abstraction particularly interesting today. But w/o personal content, symbolism or “event”, it risks becoming conceptually mundane & void of meaning.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to US artists

MEDIA: Printmaking, drawing, painting, bookmaking, collage, photography & 3D

DEADLINE: August 31, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $45 Non-member up to 3 / $35 SCAL Members ($20 fee/box for shipped work)

He currently instructs courses at Mendocino College in Ukiah & works as a freelance illustrator & muralist.

AWARDS: The Juror will grant $1,000 in Awards

SALES: 45% commission to Santa Cruz Art League or 30% commission (for SCAL Members).

CALL for ENTRIES: A Show of Heads

Posted on July 7, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

WATERMELON
weirdness

As I become more food wise, I also become more food wary. Even proven combinations like chocolate & peanut butter or mozzarella & balsamic become tiresome. And as I get bored, I start branching out and trying foods together just out of curiosity. Watermelon with olive oil & basil is delightful, by the way. That combination is as good as the combination award for this next call. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from SlowArt Productions for A Show of Heads at the Limner Gallery (NY). The awards for this show include BOTH a gallery show & art publication. Great combo…

CALL for ENTRIES: Feast your Eyes

Posted on July 6, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

FEED ME
please

Why NOT food? Yes, it is that time of year again. I’ve received more hate mail from artists that think this blog would be far more effective if I would just quit talking about food. The last time this happened, I actually added “a food-themed art blog” to the header. To be honest, the half-dozen hate mail emails I get a year don’t really bother me. But, I am always amazed at how much anger people can muster for the most insignificant issues. This next call is equally obsessed with food. I am in good company…

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Feast your Eyes. Fantastic space, great curatorial vision & always prestigious company. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Feast your Eyes

Food can be more than sustenance; food can be a passion, an entertaining and delicious escape, a comfort, or an obsession. Food is vital to our lives and is certainly at the heart of every celebration. Food is the subject of endless books, news reports, scientific studies, social media posts, and conversations. We are deeply interested in its sustainability, production, processing, distribution, scarcity, quantity, quality, composition, and price. This show invites artists to explore these and other food-related issues, from the profound to the ridiculous. –from prospectus

CALL for ENTRIES: Not a Full Deck

Posted on June 23, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

LEMONS
& vinegar

Good food is all about balance, and it seems that a lot of commercial cooks and chefs are not cooking with a “full deck.” The most common mistake? A lack of acid. A little lemon will transform your cheesecake from cloyingly sweet to perfectly delectable. A little red wine vinegar will make your tuna salad memorable. This next Call is looking for your take on working with less than a “full deck.” Great theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Shoe Factory Art Co-op (Rochester, NY) for Not a Full Deck. $25 Entry & a great graphic theme! Take a chance…

OPEN CALL: Peoria Art Guild

Posted on June 22, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

RARE
please

I like my eggs over easy and my steak & tuna rare, maybe medium rare–depending on where I am. In restaurants, I’m rarely able to order anything rare; however, at home where I have a clearer picture of the origin and handling, everything is rare. The opportunity offered by this next Call is equally rare. Please pay attention to this one…

Check out this Open Call from the Peoria Art Guild (Peoria, IL) for 2015 Exhibitions. And a rare opportunity to get telephone feedback about your entry. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: From Our Perspectives

Posted on June 18, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

HOT STUFF
please

My perspective on what makes for the perfect food shifts every few years. Occasionally I get stuck in a phase for a while. I worshiped all things spicy for 5+ years, and now I’ve been stuck on the piquant tang of goat cheese for 10+ years. Taste buds only live about 10 days, so that gives lots of opportunity for a change of taste. This next Call wants a female perspective, but not necessarily on food (although it isn’t excepted). I encourage you to take on some academic shows. How about this one, ladies?

CALL for ENTRIES: Super Sheroes

MASHED
& fried
& sauteed
oh my!

My current kitchen kryptonite is the potato. I love them. I love them. I love them. They do not love me. They spike my blood sugar–which is fun, I’ll admit. But the eventual crash off the sugar results in my desire to stuff my face and take a 3-day long nap. I never realized how many I ate until I started trying to reduce my sugar intake. Wish me luck. This next Call will let you expose your own kryptonite, or not. Take a look…
