SPACE

Sometimes you just need space–not just physical space, but mental space. I have “worked from home” for a long time; however, I still have to have a place to work–space meant for creation. I need a kitchen, a studio, and office. If you need space to work and create, this might just be the space for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from Gallery Aferro (Newark, NJ) for 2013-2014 Residency. If you are looking for 6 months of space & collaboration to develop a show or project, this could be the one for you. Great opportunity…

RECIPE
for success

Everyone I know makes at least one dish that makes people ask, “How do you make that?” Mine has changed over the years from hollandaise sauce to creamed spinach to 40 spice hummus. Similarly, everyone who is in arts management or administration hears the same question, “How do I get a solo/group show in a gallery?” This next Call answers that question. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for 2014 Exhibitions from Flow Art Space (Minneapolis, MN). Great news…NO COMMISSION, no really. This is a rare opportunity in a fairly young gallery. Investigate for yourself…

how the
COOKIE
crumbles

I am amazed by the difference in food preferences in my own household. I thought I had everyone brainwashed to think only as I do about food. But alas, they have escaped my grasp. My son prefers Ranch dressing, and my husband will choose oatmeal raisin cookies over chocolate chip any day. I have learned to embrace our difference; after all, that leaves more chocolate chip cookies for me. This next Call allows YOU to embrace differences as well. Take a look…

Check out this great Call for Entries for the Annual Embracing our Differences Exhibit in Sarasota, FL. And in addition to possibly getting your artwork on a billboard …don’t forget there is NO ENTRY FEE!

YOUR WAY

Cooks have specific media as well. Some are bakers; some are sauce makers. Some have special knife skills; some work only on the grill. The art of cooking is finding a way to cook virtually any course inside your media–like, grilled pineapple for dessert. It isn’t easy making dessert on the grill, folks. This next Call wants you to sell your photographic media. Take a look..

REMINDER: Mono No Aware

Posted on October 25, 2013October 25, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

A CLEAN
start

I am moving temporarily. In addition to being musicians, my husband and I renovate houses for resale; however, we haven’t owned our own home in about 10 years. We have finally decided to buy or build. But in the meantime, our current rental has turned into a haven for mold & mildew. So, we’re starting fresh in a new, smaller house (& smaller kitchen). It would be so much easier if someone would just find and renovate a house for me for free, eh? I am always the dreamer. But, this next Call really IS FREE, and it isn’t a dream. This isn’t just for filmmakers…

Check out this Call for Entries for Mono No Aware. This is a really cool FREE way to stretch your creative streak even if film is not your normal media. Be sure to investigate this one…

REMINDER:
Mono No Aware

Film & video have become easily accessible. One can watch content on a website, television, a home projector, or even a cell phone. For some artists and filmmakers those vehicles are copies of the original artwork, each one degraded by its format. MNA believes there is a magic in seeing the film projected as a print. There is a presence a poet has reading his/her own writing. There is a feeling that resonates in your chest when seeing a band live. For these reasons MNA encourages live music, performance and audio to expand the cinematic experience beyond the screen. MNA asks that in the spirit of the festival you not video or create copies of your performance. Some participants have gone as far as to destroy the work after its first run at the event.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Contemporary art that incorporates Super 8mm, 16mm, 35mm or altered light projections as part of a sculpture, installation, dance, or expanded cinema performance. Submissions including digital projections will not be considered (i.e. HDcam, DigiBETA, DVcam, DVD) all moving images should be from an analog source.

DEADLINE: October 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: Nov. 15, 2013

ENTRY FEE: None. They believe that your time and effort are fee enough. But, if you would like your film and materials sent back to you it is necessary to include a self-addressed stamped envelope with enough postage to get your items from Brooklyn, NY. (11211 zip code) back to your mailing address.

CALL for ENTRIES: Mainland

DESSERT
not desert,
please

I make a trip to the grocery store everyday. It isn’t my attempt to be more European or even an effort to buy as fresh as possible. No, something just comes up empty, out or missing every single day. It drives me crazy, but I should be grateful. Have you heard of food deserts? Imagine driving 1 1/2 to get to the closest grocery store. I’m going to stop whining, and you take a look at this next call for landscape photography–deserts, not food deserts, included…

Check out this Call for Entries for Mainland from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry fee is very reasonable, and the theme is a classic. But this classic is challenging. Set yourself apart…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Mainland

The genre of landscape photography is as varied as the earth itself. Untouched wilderness offers as much rich photographic material as manicured parks and farms. From mountains to coastlines, desert to tundra, our relationship with the land is complex and personal. For Mainland, The Kiernan Gallery seeks photographs that examine the wide variety in climate, topography, and development on our planet.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE:
November 19, 2013

NOTIFICATION:

ENTRY FEE:
5 for $25, each add’l $5

JUROR: Stella Kramer is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photo editor and creative strategist who works one-on-one with photographers to help them strengthen their creative eye, put together the strongest portfolios and websites that reflect their work, and set a course to reach their professional goals.

Her work involves in-depth critiques and positive encouragement, while working with photographers to tell their story, look at their work in a new way, and shape their portfolio and website to attract interest from potential clients.

Her blog, Stellazine, is about all things photography and features both commentary and interviews with photographers of all genres who discuss the creative process.

AWARDS: All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice will also be announced and both winners will receive a free copy of the catalogue.

SALES: Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works. But, they DO still have incentive to sell your work. The Kiernan Gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.

BUTTER

I want to smack every pert, ponytail-wearing, 20-something that looks at me with pity when they see 2 lbs. of butter in my shopping cart. I can read their calorie-counting little minds, “Fat makes you fat; no wonder you’ve got a case of the pudgies.” Really? Does anyone really still believe the myth that fat makes you fat? My pudge is due to eating more than I move. End of story. I’ll take my butter over your chemical-laden margarine any day, Ms. Ponytail. Explore your own myths with this next Call. Bring on the butter…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Myths & Legends

This exhibit celebrates works of art that bring to life fantastical myths, legends, fables, folktales, fairy tales, and the like. Around the world, from prehistoric times to the present, artists have been part of the story-telling process, giving shape and form to fantastical stories of supernatural beings, great heroes and heroines, cautionary tales, magical creatures, and more. In ancient times, artists commonly rendered images of these stories on walls, pottery, statuary, tapestries, and paintings. In more recent times, books, graphic novels, movies, apps, and games have expanded the way we experience these stories. No matter the time period, the artist becomes the story-teller and shares their spectacular vision through their art.

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to artists age 18 and older working in the U.S.

MEDIA: All media welcome; small to large-scale installations; new media encouraged; indoor only.

DEADLINE:
December 6, 2013

NOTIFICATION:
Via email on or before
December 17, 2013

ENTRY FEE: Artists must submit a $25 entry fee (or $20 for Annmarie members) for up to four entries. Entry fee must be paid by check, money order, or credit card.

JUROR: TBA

AWARDS: Annmarie will present cash awards to outstanding work. Judging will be done on installed works, not application images. If possible, judging will occur prior to the exhibit opening and awards will be presented at the opening reception.

SALES: Works selected for exhibition cannot be removed before the end of the exhibition. Should a sale resulting from the exhibition occur, Annmarie will retain a 40% commission of the listed sale price.

Let the pumpkin mania begin. McDonald’s is peddling a pumpkin spice latte and every grocery store, roadside stand and farmers’ market is showcasing a plethora of pumpkins and gourds from the green and gnarly to the perfectly carrot-color orbs from which a million jack-o-lanterns will be carved.

JUROR: Greg Scheibel has always felt a strong connection to the outdoors. Throughout his life he has spent a great deal of time hiking, fishing, backpacking, and closely observing his surroundings, which has led to a deep appreciation for the remote locations and unspoiled beauty of the West, which is the main inspiration for his paintings. Greg paints on location as much as possible, trying to capture an honest record of the values, color, and feel of an area. The emotional connection to nature which is the result of these field studies, is the foundation for all of his work.

Years of drawing, pouring over art books, collecting and studying paintings of artists he admired, and a general accumulation of life’s experiences contribute to what he puts into his paintings. Although still relatively new to the professional art world, he began selling his work in 2005 and became a full time artist in 2007, he shows his work in some of the West’s finest Galleries and has been invited or juried into a number of prestigious shows. He has received several awards for his work, and scholarships from the Scottsdale Artists School, an Award of Excellence from the OPA on 3 occasions, and was recently awarded Signature Membership in that organization. He has been listed as an ‘Artist to Watch’ in Southwest Art Magazine, and featured in Western Art Collector.

AWARDS: $3,000 for first place, $1,500 for second place and $500 for third place along with 10 honorable mentions
