OPEN UP & SAY
…AHHH!

I am privileged to know a large number of artists that are multi-talented writers, singers, songwriters, musicians, performing artists, visual artists…and foodies.  That’s a talent, too, folks.  Being a foodie requires educating your palate to accept snails as food and taking the time to learn the subtleties of ingredients.  But never fear, this Call for Entries from Michigan Technological University doesn’t require use of your tongue…just your creativity and talent for prose, poetry and/or art.

Check out this great Call for Submissions from Blue Ice Magazine, an online literary journal affiliated with Michigan Technological University’s Humanities Department.  There is no fee, no payment and no deadline.  No, I am not joking.  There are also no acceptable excuses.

Editor’s Note:  I know, I know.  I can smell the paranoid, suspicious email headed my way about how I shouldn’t promote Calls from newbies.  Bottom line…we all start somewhere.  They are building a blog and finding a few fans on facebook too.

This blog is only a year old.  If everyone had been suspicious, I wouldn’t have a few hundred of you mixed nuts reading these posts everyday.  Then where would we all be (she says with an exaggerated sense of self-importance)?  Have a little faith, folks.  When you expect the best…you very often get it.

CALL for ENTRIES: Urban & Country Landscape

STANDS ALONE

My family enjoys joking… that if I continue moving to towns with smaller and smaller populations that I will eventally live in complete isolation except, of course, for my husband, internet access, food delivery, my dogs and a separate home for my shoe collection.  Funny, eh?  There is something to be said for both urban AND country living.  I love them both, but buying fresh eggs and goat milk from a farm on my way home has skewed my objectivity just a smidge.

I cannot wait to see the results of the Call for Entries for The Urban and Country Landscape Annual Book from The Worldwide Photography Gala Awards.  It is a type of art publication–which you know I love, and part published exhibit.  There is no entry fee unless you are accepted.  Take advantage of this great opportunity to both tell your story and show your work.

CANDIED LECTURE

It has been over a week since I’ve stood on my soapbox and lectured about the advantages of Art Publication.  You’ve missed it…haven’t you?  Okay, Okay…if you insist, I will take candy from a baby.  Here goes:   Art Publication is great for your art career.  Most exposure is good exposure.  There, that’s the short version.

Fraction Magazine has an open-call for submissions for future issues as well as their One Picture Look feature that began in May 2010.  Fraction Magazine is an online photography magazine and photographic review.

ART PUBLICATION: Fraction Magazine Open Call

Visit Fraction Magazine online!Fraction Magazine was started in a little coffee shop in Albuquerque, New Mexico in March of 2008 by Joshua Spees and David Bram.  In 2009, Josh got married, moved to the East Coast, and is now pursuing other photographic avenues.

Today, Fraction Magazine is edited and curated by David, and often includes guest curators and writers such as Melanie McWhorter, Mary Goodwin and Larissa Leclair.

One Picture Look is a new feature (May 2010) to Fraction Magazine.

Fraction Magazine Issue 4The idea is to bring attention to the amazing work that is either found on Flickr within the Fraction Magazine Flickr Group or the work that is submitted directly to Fraction Magazine.  The idea is that one photograph, will make you want to look at more.

So if you have one picture, that they just have to see, please visit the submissions page or add it to the flickr group.

The One Picture Look page will be promoted just like the rest of the magazine and will be updated every couple of weeks.

To submit your photographs for the next issue of Fraction Magazine, please send a link to your site and tell them the specific portfolio or body of work to look at.  Please remember to put “submission” in the subject line of your email.

Due to the large number of submissions, they will not look at emails with attachments.  Send your link to fractionsubmissions@gmail.com .

If you have questions, please visit the Fraction Magazine website.
