PHOTOGRAPHY: Class Pictures

Posted on May 30, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

Photography Week on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com has been great! I’ve gotten lots of positive feedback so we might try a theme week again before long. To close out the week, Installment #5 is geared toward students!

Here’s the Call: Class Pictures

“Artists are currently invited to submit work for consideration in Class Pictures, an RSVP online exhibition of exceptional work by currently enrolled students of undergraduate photography programs. Students may submit up to five images from a single project.

“As the school year winds down, educators like myself have the pleasure of reveling in the birth of projects that have been gestating in classrooms, darkrooms, studios and computer labs for the past year.

“Challenged by rigorous institutional demands and the need to create compelling work while maintaining their individuality, students’ progress and achievements become evident in the richness and diversity of their final portfolio presentations.

“In an effort to bring some of this work to a wider audience, we will present a selection of extraordinary work by a few of these outstanding students.

“The names of those involved in the selection process will be posted in the coming days.

“RSVP is a Michael Mazzeo Gallery program of curated online exhibitions. By way of call and response initiated on the gallery blog, artists are asked to submit images to be considered for inclusion in specific, themed shows.

“RSVP exhibitions are handled in the same professional and enthusiastic manner as the gallery’s on-site exhibitions, with advertising and sales efforts, on-demand printed catalogs and gallery support.

“It is important to note that this is not a pay-to-play program and the exhibitions are not ‘competitions.’

There is no charge for entries.
There is no charge for inclusion in exhibitions.
There is no charge for inclusion in exhibition catalogs.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Emerging Work

Photography Week
on Art & Art Deadlines

Installment 4:
No Resume, No Problem

You know how much I love shows that don’t require artists to submit resumes.

I think artwork should be judged on its merits, not its pedigree…but I don’t often trip across artshows where they are brazenly looking for work that has been little seen or documented…the Apeture Portfolio Prize.

Finally…we don’t have to have the “chicken or the egg” conversation. Yippee.
Here’s the call for the Apeture Portfolio Prize.

The purpose of the Aperture Portfolio Prize is to identify trends in contemporary photography and specific artists whom they can help by bringing a wider audience.

In choosing the first-prize winner and runners-up, they are looking for work that is fresh and that hasn’t been widely seen in major publications or exhibition venues.

First prize is $5,000.

The first-prize winner and runners-up are featured in Aperture’s website for approximately one year.

Winners are also announced in the foundation’s e-newsletter, which reaches thousands of subscribers in the photography community.

Deadline: July 14, 2010, at 12:00 noon EST.

Results Announced: November 1, 2010.

For more information, see the Guidelines and FAQs pages.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Black and White

Posted on May 26, 2010June 3, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

Photography Week
on Art & Art Deadlines

Installment 3:
Black and White Photography

I live in an area with a long-standing artisan crafts tradition, and I overhear a lot of conversation about how digital and “new-fangled” media will be the end of art as we know it. As you might imagine, as a Xerographist, I couldn’t disagree more. Artist Jerry Portelli and I even went so far as to create a series of square pieces in celebration of the pixel. So, I find this call from the MPLS Photo Center fascinating. Take a look…

Here is a great call for the photographer in us all…
Black & White Photgraphy Call for Entries from the MPLS Photo Center

“Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.” – Robert Frank

What does “black and white” mean to contemporary photographers in the digital age? When Robert Frank made this observation, black-and-white film and silver prints were photography’s most commonly used materials. Nearly a half century later they are approaching “alternative media” status. Or are they? Are the implications and meanings of black and white still central to photography’s unique nature as a visual medium?

Submissions to this juried exhibition are limited only by your imagination and your photographic eye. Portraits, fashion, editorial, landscapes, documentary, conceptual – all of these genres, and others not named, are open for consideration.

Prints should take whatever form they need to in order to represent the continuum of tones, including gray tone, warm tone, cool tone, sepia, or other monochromes that comprise your photographs. Whether the initial recording was made on film or pixels is immaterial. However, in the final assessment, prints will be judged on their merits. Qualities of form, content, and relation to traditions of black-and-white printing and visualization will be sought in the pool of submissions.

About the Juror: As the founder, principal, and sole employee of re:photographica, George Slade has delved into matters related to the photographic arts for nearly thirty years. Although he started these inquiries as a photographer, his work over the past twenty years has been focused on curating, consulting, and commenting on others’ images. He was the artistic director of Minnesota Center for Photography (2003-2008) and the director of the McKnight Foundation Artist Fellowships for Photographers Program (1998-2008). His writings have been published widely; he received a 2007 award from the Creative Capital/Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers grant program. Web sites like Flickr and Facebook, and digital imaging in general, are drawing him back into the making side of photography. On Quodlibetica, his photographs accompany Kristin Makholm’s “Five Memos on a New Museum.”

Juror: George Slade, Principal at re:photographica
Entry Fee: $35 up to 5 images; $10 each additional (no limit on number that may be submitted)
Prizes: $300 for 1st; $200 for 2nd; $100 for 3rd
Entries Due: July 23, 2010
Notice of Acceptance: August 2, 2010
Exhibition Dates: September 10 – October 25, 2010
Reception: September 10, 2010

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Photo Abstraction

Posted on May 24, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

The difference between taking photographs and being a photographer is about the same as playing golf versus being a golfer. I’m no photographer, but it is part and parcel of my media, Xerography. So…let’s call this Photography Week on Art & Art Deadlines.

Without photography, nothing would ever be cookin’ in my kitchen. To that end, here’s a great call for the photographer (or wannabe) in us all…Here’s a Call for Submissions: Photo Abstraction from The Vermont Photography Workplace.

“We often think if the camera as a tool for recording minute details of the visual world, in images that sometimes seem so real they could be mistaken for actual experience.

“But photographs can also build on abstract elements inherent in the medium, such as blur, and in the visual world, such as pattern and texture. For “Abstraction in Photography” we seek images that utilize abstract components as their primary mode of expression.

“Fields of color and exquisite shapes found in nature, linear designs discovered in the built environment, blur created in-camera or with vintage processes—the sky’s the limit. Astonish us with your eye and mind for the abstract.

“Juror Stephen Strom will select forty photographs for exhibition on the walls of PhotoPlace Gallery in August and on the gallery website. An additional thirty-five images will be chosen for PhotoPlace’s “On-Line Gallery Annex.”

Click Here for a Upcoming Full Exhibition Schedule for the Gallery.

“All selected work will be included in a full-color exhibition catalogue available for purchase. To help artists defray costs, PhotoPlace Gallery offers to mat and frame work selected for exhibition free of charge, providing artists print their images to our pre-cut mat and frame sizes.

Click Here for Submission Guidelines.

The deadline for Photo Abstraction is August 16, 2010.

“Juror: Stephen Strom, photographer, astronomer, writer, and educator. His most recent photography book is Earth Forms, published by Dewi Lewis Publishing.”

GRADUATION: Call for Submissions

Posted on May 23, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

It is graduation time, and I’ve been receiving lots of requests from art grads and upcoming art grads about where to go next. I am not a career counselor, but if you’re looking for shows and have had the privilege of building a large body of work your senior year…then it is time to find a show, or two, or three.

Where to begin? When you are frantically searching for a show on Google, remember to look for “Call for Submissions.” The use of “submissions” usually indicates no fee and a large number of submission allowed. These committees and gallery directors are looking for a well-rounded glimpse into what you offer, not just the winner of a competion as in “Call for Entries.”

Look for areas within a day’s drive of you so that you are confident you can assist with hanging the show–only if asked–and show up for the opening of your big night. Look for rolling deadlines. If you’re interested in a gallery, look to see if they take submissions year ’round, and don’t procrastinate.

Here is a Call for Submissions from Space 237 to get you started:

Space 237 welcomes artist submissions year round and will consider your work for the next year of exhibits. They ask that the artists be 18 yrs + and submit original art any media. Space 237 especially appreciates unusual, cutting edge artwork, but, because they use 2 galleries for their Spring & Fall exhibits, there is usually a nice mix of unique artwork along with high quality traditional & not-so-traditional.

Space 237 is looking at submissions next for their annual fall show October 15, 2010 – January 8, 2011. Opening night will be Fri, Oct. 15, 7-10 pm.

Submission deadline: Submissions must be received by Friday, July 16, 2010.

Submissions may be mailed or dropped off in person. They will not be reviewed at the at the time of drop off, if they are delivered in person.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Art Publication

Posted on May 1, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I get lots of inquiries from artists about the value of group shows versus solo shows versus publication.

Everyone has an opinion about the value of art shows and publication to an artist’s career. I will say this. I have had lots of positive exposure from my adventures in art publication. I still receive inquiries from galleries regarding my inclusion in a tiny midwest art zine from April of 2009.

It can’t hurt, right? It is all part of the recipe for success. Here’s a great opportunity to cook up something special:

Call for Submissions: Visual Art

The Splinter Generation is dedicated to providing a venue for aspiring and established artists. They accept contributions of work in any fine art medium including painting, drawing, performance art, video, printmaking, photography, textiles and sculpture. Literary comics also welcome.

They have no prescribed style and will consider both representational and abstract work. However, the work should speak to the overall generational theme of the journal, whether directly or indirectly.

The Splinter Generation is a place by and for people born between 1973 and 1993. It’s a venue for writers, artists and musicians from all different backgrounds to tell the story of our generation. I’m hoping they will forgive the one year that I am outside their timeline, ha.

For each issue they will select a single artist to feature. They ask for one time publication rights and permission to archive the images on the site. They will consider previously published art as long as the artist has retained the rights.

Artwork should be professionally documented. Review their complete artwork guidelines below carefully before submitting.

Visual Art Submission Guidelines

Submissions should be in JPEG format and attached to an e-mail which contains the following:

Name
E-mail address
Street Address
Website link if applicable
List of works by title, medium and size of work and publication history (Be sure to tell us if the work is “Not For Sale” – NFS)
Artist statement (150 words maximum)
Short biography of the artist (75 words maximum)
Send 3-5 works in JPEG file format, 600 x 800 pixels or smaller, 300 dpi, as an attachment to an e-mail message. Alternatively, you may provide direct links to 3 – 5 specific images on your website.
For video, provide up to two Vimeo or YouTube links to clips 1 to 3 minutes in length, along with information on the full length and any production credits.
In the subject line, put “Art Submission” and the title of the work.
Please follow the guidelines carefully, or your work will not be reviewed, without notice to you.

Send the artwork (and only artwork) attached to an e-mail addressed to splintergenart@gmail.com. Those artists selected for publication will be notified within 30 days.

If the work is subsequently published in another venue, they do ask that the publication in Splinter Generation be acknowledged.

Note: Splinter Generation does not charge commission for work sold as a result of exposure in the magazine.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: US Mint

Posted on April 13, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

The tag line of this site is
“Never Let Them See You Starve.”

I like to emphasize shows with low fees that jury based on talent, not resume. But, cash prizes and honorariums never hurt because it takes money to eat.

Here’s a great way to never let them see you starve…

Make a mint…from the U.S. Mint.

That’s right, folks, you too can design a coin for the United States of America. Here’s the Call:

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Exaggerate

Posted on April 12, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I love a theme…we have taco night at my house, no kidding.

Art is no different. Give me a theme anyday. It is a great way to jumpstart your creative brain while you’re working on a full show of work. And sometimes, it can be the beginning of a whole new series of work.

I have found a GREAT SHOW for you, but you really have to hurry…the deadline is coming fast!

I LOVE the idea of the Exaggerate! show from The Arts Guild of Old Forge (NY).

Here’s the call for visual art
AND writing:

Artists lay it on thick in this open exhibit of Amazing two and three dimensional artwork, and larger-than-life written works.

The BIG idea is to exaggerate!

This is an out of proportion, overblown, not entirely accurate exhibition of photography, painting, pastel, graphics, drawing, fiber, sculpture, and ceramics as well as short written works: poetry and tall tales, all themed around the idea of exaggeration.

All work will be displayed and judged for awards. (All-hung shows are great resume builders!)

It is a chance for artists to express feelings rather than facts, and it will transport viewers beyond the bounds of reason.

“Explore our fascination with what we know is too good to be true. Exaggerate! is the greatest exhibition you will ever see!”

Visual Art

All two-dimensional artwork must be suitably framed for exhibition with hook eyes and wire attached. No alligator frame hangers.

Three-dimensional art must be complete and moveable. There are no size restrictions. It you would like the opportunity to have the work you plan to submit featured on exhibition publicity pieces please email a high quality image of your work for consideration to jpritchard@artscenteroldforge.org with the subject line: Exaggerate! Artwork.

Tall Tales & Poetry

Written submissions should not exceed 1000 words. Tall tale and poetry submissions will be integrated into the exhibition in a visual manner as well as displayed in readers copy books within the Arts Center.

Written works should be submitted twice. Electronically to be judged, as well as framed for display.

Framed Submission

Writers are welcome to be creative with how they display their words and are allowed to incorporate visual elements, although framing is the only mandatory display requirement. Framed works for display should arrive at the Arts Center/Old Forge with your entry form and entry fee.

Digital Submission

Digital submissions can be emailed or sent on a CD. If necessary they may be typed and mailed. These are for the Juror to read and select from based on each work’s literary merit. They do not need to be decorative or formatted in any particular way. The submission deadline for this copy of your writing is due April 26, 2010.

• Digital submissions should not be accompanied by entry forms and payment (although this is necessary for the framed portion of written submissions).

•Emailed entries should include “Exaggerate submission”in the subject line. Send to Linda Weal, the Exhibition Coordinator, at lweal@artscenteroldforge.org.

• CD Entries, or typed copies should be sent to:

Attention: Exaggerate!
Arts Center/Old Forge
PO Box 1144
Old Forge, NY 13420
