CHEAP DELICACY?

I consistently receive requests for calls with no entry fee, and I do post No Entry Fee Calls as regularly as I can; however, sometimes you get the opportunity for which you pay.   You may love ice cream from McDonalds (I love the caramel sundae), but don’t expect an exotic delicacy for $1.

NOT TRASH…JUST ART

I love found object art almost as much as I love crock pot creations made from leftovers.  Many emerging (not starving) artists struggle with not having the cash to participate in traditional media like oil painting.  Found-object assemblage could be the solution!

Here’s a great call from Monmouth Museum for Art from Found Objects, but you have to hurry…both postmarked and emailed entries must be received by August 6, 2010.  But look on the bright side…the materials are probably already laying around your house!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
Art From Found Objects: A Juried Exhibition

Visit Monmouth Museum online!Museum Statement:  This exhibition focuses on artwork created from the undisguised, but often modified, use of common found objects that are not normally considered art, often because they already have a non-art function. Found art derives its identity as “Art” from the designation placed upon it by the artist. “Trash Art” is included in this exhibition as works are primarily comprised from components that have been discarded and then found. 75 % of the media used to create works for this exhibition must be from either discarded, reusable or found objects.

Juror: The juror is Harriet Taub, Executive Director, Materials for the Arts (of Cultural Affairs., NYC Department) 

Eligibility: Open to all artists world-wide age 18 and over. All artwork entered must be original creations by the artist and must have been completed within in the last five years.

CALL for ENTRIES: Art to Die For

ART OF DEATH

I avoid all talk of death and mortality, in general.  My fondest hope is that we I finally slow down long enough to die…instead of a wake or funeral, my loved ones will plan an elaborate seven course meal for those nearest and dearest to my heart (and stomach).

DREAMS INTERPRETED

My best friend, Toni Morton, is a fruit loop, an organic one, but a fruit loop nonetheless.  Since we were in college she been into lots of touchy, feely, spirtually-connected “stuff.”  Now she’s all green and granola-crunchy.  I respect her right to believe in whatever she likes…I even love her for it, and I am occasionally swayed by her green logic.  But admittedly, I love giving her a hard time about it too, ha.

ART ON THE GO

In our mobile world, it seems that all of life revolves around fast food, GPS and mobile phones.  Maps have become a rarely used–and lately a little understood–artform.

Like Chocolate

I never cease to be amazed at how often I trip across artist opportunities when on a completely different mission to find source or inspiration material for my own work.  While searching for some reference material to shoot my last piece “Greed” for the series Pyschomachia that I’ve been working on with Arizona Artist Jerry Portelli, I tripped across this great call for the Seven Deadly Sins from Miami’s Bakehouse Art Complex.

Call for Entries:  ¡Sin!

A national juried exhibition of original work inspired by a traditional concept of human transgressions. Lust, envy, gluttony, sloth, greed, wrath and pride have had an enormous impact on the moral compass of the modern world.

As an adult, there are two things for which I am always trying to invent excuses…eating dessert for breakfast…and buying cool artistic toys.  I have been rationalizing away “bressert” (as we call it in my house) for years, but now I have a great reason to buy toys…research.
