REMINDER: B*tchfest

Posted on December 12, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

WINE
for whiners

I think people drink more wine at the holidays because of all the whining. Wine won’t stop people FROM whining, but it will certainly help you tune them out. Bitching, when done correctly, can’t be tuned out–regardless of wine consumption. This next Call is all about the bitching, but I suspect the wine is welcome too. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the B*tchfest Juried Exhibition located Upstairs At The Market Gallery (Los Angeles, CA). The entry fee is ONLY $12.50 for 6 images. I am a card-carrying Hag, and I don’t want you to miss this opportunity!

**B*tchfest: A Juried Exhibition**

We are not invisible.

An international art festival dedicated to the politic of being a woman.

mature feminist artist.

We are not invisible.

CHOCOLATE
dreams

I’m waiting for Valentine’s Day chocolates to be in the stores any day now. After all, Christmas decorations were out before Halloween. If my husband ever bought me a cheesy box of chocolates for this faux-holiday, I would fall on the floor in shock. Chocolate? Sure. Heart shaped box? Not yet, thankfully. I appreciate that corporate America creates holidays so that we can all schedule time to tell those we love how much they mean, but it doesn’t mean you have to celebrate the way they tell you to. This next Call is a much better way to celebrate Valentine’s day. Take a look…

OPEN CALL: Ormond Museum

CITRUS
power

Never underestimate the power of food. Grapefruit is now known to interfere with over 70 medications, and many antibiotics have warnings about orange juice. And I am certain that somewhere there are geneticists trying to modify both of these fruits to fix the problem–which is scary, but I digress. The world is your buffet, but you have to make your choices carefully. This next Call looks like a good call to me. But, take a look for yourself…

CALL for ENTRIES: Reflections

Posted on December 9, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

FOOD
for thought

It is that time of year again. Time to reflect upon choices made, good and bad, as well as choices to be made, good and bad. I won’t presume to give you life advice, and there are dozens of sites dedicated to give you advice on how to be a “successful” artist. So, I will only repeat what we all learned in kindergarten. You are what you eat. You are given only one life with which to be creative. Fuel it well and your efforts will be reflected in your work. This next Call will ask you for even more reflection. Investigate this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Smithtown Township Arts Council for Reflections to be exhibited at the Mills Pond House Gallery in St. James, NY. This is such a beautiful place to exhibit your work. Take a closer look…

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

CALL for ENTRIES:
Reflections

Reflection can be either a physical or a psychological phenomenon. Together they evoke the interplay between perception and conception.

Entries will be judged on the originality and insight with which they embody this theme visually in traditional as well as new media. A brief explanation such as might be printed on a label along with the artist’s information can be helpful, but the best work will succeed in conveying meaning by itself. Longer explanations will not be considered. The use of mirrors in the work is permissible but neither necessary, nor necessarily desirable.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists/students enrolled in M.F.A. programs

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: February 1, 2013

NOTIFICATION: February 22, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $45 for up to 3 entries. $35 for STAC member artists.

A CANDLE
a day?

One of the things I miss most about being able to shop at the Farmer’s Market or local orchard during the winter is the ability to get wax-free fruit. When I see a waxed apple, I have to assume it is really old. Yes, fruit is waxed to make it “pretty” for consumers, but it is also done to seal in moisture and preserve “weight” for as much as a year. Pick the ugly fruit, please. This next Call uses wax in a much better way. Take a look…

I wrote a post a while back about a report I heard that claimed we would all be printing our food in 20 years. Well, I was wrong. Apparently you can print food now thanks to Cornell Creative Machines Lab. OMG, I can’t take this. Luckily, this next Call is about printing of a much better sort. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
the time we cannot meet

The Detroit Print Exchange is the first of (hopefully many) annual juried art collaborations. Artists are invited to submit an edition of 25 prints and in turn receive a complete portfolio of 20 prints from all 20 contributing artists.

In truth, the The Detroit Print Exchange is a chance to redefine what it means to be a young emerging artist, to prove that good things really do come in small packages, and to build connections between artists working around the country.

The Challenge is to create an edition of 25 prints in response to the words “ the time we cannot meet”. Cryptic yet straight forward the words resonate with missed opportunity and honesty. Today is there truly a time when two people cannot meet? Has technology removed time from how we interact? Explore, create and redefine.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Printmaking

DEADLINE: January 5, 2013

NOTIFICATION: January 31, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $20 for 8 to 10 images

JURY PROCESS: Participants will be selected based on a portfolio of previous work, artist statement and CV, spaces are limited.

AWARDS: The final portfolio will be exhibited in Detroit. Detroit Print Exchange will host an online Portfolio that viewers can access via the internet.

SALES: Limited edition reproductions of the final portfolio will be sold.

COMFORTABLY
light

I normally crave heavy comfort foods in the Winter just like everyone else. However, this year, I find myself still craving the lightness of lemon and fresh herbs. I don’t know if I just haven’t resigned myself to the fact that it is actually Winter, or whether my ever-evolving desire to eat healthier, fresher foods have just changed the work I do in the kitchen. Use this next Call to show how the “lightness” of it all affects YOUR work. Investigate…

Have you heard of “Zen Cooking”? It is the trendy concept that the joy in cooking is in the act of cooking, not the end product. Really? I don’t get it. I cook BECAUSE I love to eat.

They are looking to see a range of what landscape images can be: macro details to vast panoramas, conceptual narratives, abstractions, document, or relational gestures.

With your unique images, Darkroom Gallery will honor the extents of this Rare planet we call Earth.

JUROR: It is no wonder William Neill has developed a deep, spiritual connection with nature, being a resident of the Yosemite National Park area since 1977. His award-winning photography has been widely collected and exhibited in museums and galleries.

His work has been published in several books, and a retrospective collection of his finest landscape photographs was published by Bulfinch Press/Little, Brown & Co, in 1997, entitled Landscapes of the Spirit. Several periodicals have published his images, and Neill writes a monthly column “On Landscape”, for Outdoor Photographer magazine. Neill’s corporate clients include: Sony Japan, Bayer Corporation, Canon USA, Nike, Nikon, The Nature Company, and Sony Music/Classical.

Perhaps most important to the task of jurying Rare Earth, is Neill’s extensive experience in close observation of others’ work – he has been an instructor of photography for 32 years. Mr. Neill is looking forward to the opportunity to see your work, for the purpose of curating what will be an awe-inspiring exhibition of landscape photographs.

AWARDS: All selected entries are exhibited in the Darkroom Gallery and included in a full color exhibit catalog. Juror’s Choice receives a 30×48″ vinyl exhibit banner featuring their image. People’s Choice gains free entry into a future exhibit.
