CALL for ENTRIES – Gallery Photographica

not just
RICE-A-RONI

Famous dishes and food fads are not a new phenomenon. Consider Hangtown Fry, named after Placerville, CA (then known as Hangtown), where it is reported to have been invented in the 1850s. A bacon & oyster omelet, yep. Although it originated in Placerville, it was really made famous years later by San Francisco, an hour from Placerville, from hence the oysters where usually shipped. Yes, I managed to bring it back around to locally-sourced ingredients. This next Call is also famous and from San Francisco. Peas in a pod…

Posted on February 3, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

for the love of
FRESH SPINACH

My local farmers’ market does not open until the beginning of MAY. The fact that I am craving fresh, local produce already does not bode well for me. Once I start craving fresh produce, my ability to put up with frozen produce lessens so I end up with an even narrower range of veggies to eat. Sustainable farming is a true art with a connection to the Earth, and this next Call is looking for YOUR art that is connected to the Earth. This one might just be for you…

CALL for ENTRIES: Man’s Best Friend

Posted on February 1, 2014February 1, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

one POTATO
two POTATO
zero GRAPES

My Dad always loved to munch on raw potatoes when prepping them for some portion of a meal. No joking. Honestly, the only other being I know that loves raw potatoes is my dog Pepper. She loves them almost as much as cabbage and carrots. Her ultimate favorite was white grapes; then I learned they could lead to renal failure. (Apparently not many of you knew that either since no one responded when I wrote this post.) So, veggies it is, potatoes included. This next Call doesn’t necessarily want to know so much about what you feed them as much as your love for them. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Eyesights 2014

Posted on January 31, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

CARROT COIN
for your thoughts?

Yes, we have all heard that carrots are good for your eyes. But, the truth is that carrots contain beta carotene which the body converts to Vitamin A which is good for eye health. But, if a honey and ginger glaze is not enough to get you to eat carrots, never fear. Leaf greens, oily fish like tuna, eggs, nuts and even citrus will help keep your eyes healthy as well. This next call is more interested in your vision than your actual eye sight. But, take a look for yourself…

CALL for ENTRIES: Figurative Work

Posted on January 30, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

BUTTER
me up

I am fat obsessed–not with the fat ON me but with the fat IN my food. In October of 2013, I threw away my weight scales. I’m done. My familial relationship with diabetes and my allergy to wheat has forced a reduction of many of the starchy treats I have always loved. But, beautiful, luscious fats like butter and coconut oil have increased to help ease the transition. As a result, MY figure is changing–from the texture and tone of my skin to slow but steady reduction of my double chin. This next Call wants to know all about your figure, of sorts. Take a look…

HERB

I live with culinary diplomats. Never ones to forsake a food altogether, my family tries to find the silver lining to every food basket. They have mastered words like “earthy, piquant, herbaceous & grassy” to avoid speaking ill of my food experiments. As a result, I cook with a sort of anything-goes-abandon that produces both masterpieces & snacks turned down even by the dogs. This next Call wants the masterpieces that come from your anything-goes, devil-may-care, art abandon. Give it a shot…

CALL for ENTRIES: Juxtapose

Posted on January 27, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

PEAR-ING
it down

I have given up my fruit with mean ban. That’s right–for years, I have had a problem with fruit and meat together. I tend to prefer fruits a little chilled, and I prefer meat at least room temperature, but preferably warm. As you might imagine juxtaposing the two only highlighted their differences. But, I’ve come around. As I have come to eating local (and organic, when possible) fruit, I am starting to prefer it room temperature. So, now oranges, apples, pears and more are showing up in my curries and stirfrys more and more often. Juxtaposition is all the rage for this next Call too. Great theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Juxtapose. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: Please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. I have a soft spot for this gallery, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Juxtapose

The composition of
two or more elements
within a photograph,
emphasizing either the
similarity or dissemblance
between them.

One of the most effective ways to express ideas photographically is to compare and contrast subjects visually. Placing contrasting elements side-by-side adds interest to a photograph and holds the viewer’s attention. Opposites such as: large and small, light and shadow, happy and sad, smooth and rough, new and old, horizontal and vertical, still and motion. Each one of these examples draws the viewer in, makes them curious about the story, why is that person happy while the other one is sad? How did that cat managed to get in amongst all of those dogs? Why are these two seemingly unrelated objects set in the same frame?

Explore complex or simplistic incongruity, opposites and contradictions, layered imagery, and observe the addition and subtraction of context. Counterbalance can marry elements by placing them side-by-side, above or below each other, or layer them in the foreground, middle-ground and background just as slow shutter speeds can show the disparity of moving objects compared to static ones.

Explore the uniqueness
found in apposing
colors, textures, characters
& objects.

Juxtaposition plays a crucial role in creating expression in each of these areas and the photographs’ overall message and allure – so crucial that we feel it deserves an exhibit all it’s own.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: March 19, 2014

NOTIFICATION: March 26, 2014

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 for $24 US for on-line & $29 by email

SALAD
anyone?

My frugality DOES know boundaries. The one thing I don’t do is public foraging. It isn’t that I am necessarily opposed to eating wild things, like dandelion greens. Actually, I’m all for it, to be honest. But I am fearful of things unknown that might be sprayed ONTO the wild things. I live on the boundary (within a 1/2 mile) of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but since you cannot legally forage in any National Park, that doesn’t really help me find a safe place to forage. I suppose my wild things will be limited to art, for now–like this next Call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Contemporary Portraiture

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

NAAN
for me,
thanks

How is it possible that images of deities continue to show up in food? Moreover, how is it possible that it still makes the news? If you were a deity, would “show up on a piece of naan” be on the top of your to-do list? If you were all powerful, would your idea of contemporary portraiture be Indian bread? I didn’t think so. it doesn’t matter who the deity is. Just no. For portraiture, let’s all stick with a Call like this next one. On the wall, not on your plate…

Check out this Call for Entries for Contemporary Portraiture from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, VA). The entry fee is ALWAYS reasonable at this gallery, and I you know how I LOVE portraiture…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Contemporary Portraiture

Historically, portraiture has relied heavily on artistic interpretation of the subject. Photographs, while still embracing the artist’s point of view, record selected surroundings and fractions of seconds. This allows for a different kind of interpretation; one based on real-life context rather than medium and imagination. For Expressions: Contemporary Portraiture The Kiernan Gallery seeks photographs of the self or of others that capture the expression, personality, or mood of the subject.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE:
February 21, 2014

NOTIFICATION:
Approx. 8 days later

ENTRY FEE:
5 for $25, each add’l $5

JUROR: Robin Rice’s mission is simple: to document the world around her in a cinematic way. Whether capturing the innate beauty of tucked-away South American landscapes or the reflective moments of unknowing subjects, her photographs are always candid. As a photographer, Robin has an earthy and bohemian way of portraying people and situations that is reflective of the way she lives life.

When she is not searching for inspiration from local people and places around the world, she runs The Robin Rice Gallery in New York City. As an artist who feels lucky to be able to parlay her love of the photographic medium into a career, she treats her gallery like a family rather than a business and is dedicated to supporting the work of established and local artists.

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.

The Kiernan Gallery DOES still have incentive to sell your work. The 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.

MAKE IT AGAIN,
Sam

I still have a recipe box. Yep. When I find a recipe I love or make a masterpiece that warrants an official record, I write it down on an index card and stash it in my recipe box. Why do I feel like I just confessed to some horribly illicit activity? Well, if you still illicitly work with paper in some way, here’s a curated international open Call for works on paper. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Library Thoughts 4

Johann Gutenberg’s invention of movable type books ignited the explosion of art. These days the printed books that were previously published by publishers now can be read on line as ebooks.

What is the future?

Instead of having to interact with computers through not-so-intuitive and sometimes even counter intuitive devices like a computer mouse or track pad, soon users will be able to control their computers doing natural human movements such as gestures, whole-body movement, eye movement, and perhaps even such things as facial expressions.

Is it the end for books as we know them? Question the survival of paper, books, libraries in this digital age. The process of sending artworks through the mail, with the envelope, the stamp and the postmark as entire part of the mail-art-object make this process to what we call MailArt.

Editor’s Note: Once again, this is only Mail Art in the sense that most of the art will be mailed for the show. Unlike traditional Mail Art shows, any unsold work will be returned in December.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA: Artist books, works on or of paper may be any size, but MUST fit in a 9″ X 12″ (22.9X30.5cm) envelope. Unmated, unframed photography, drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, mixed media, cast or folded paper, multimedia or digital prints.

DEADLINE: March 31, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 3

SALES: 30% commission
