CALL to ARTISTS: Purchase Award

Posted on July 23, 2016July 23, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

fast FOOD

Groceries arrived at my door this week. You see, we chose to become a one-car family years ago. We live fairly remotely –2.5 miles from the closest two-lane road and nearly 10 miles to a minor four-lane highway. So, when the water pump on our car erupted in the driveway, getting groceries became a challenge for the weekend. Luckily, we have access to a grocery delivery that costs less than the taxi to and from the grocery store would cost. Some days, you just need a little help. This next Call wants to offer a little help to artists. Take a look…

cobbling a PIE

My kitchen is filled with a bounty of tomatoes –from itty bitty yellows to big meaty reds. After performing at a farmers market, the generosity of vendors left me trying to decide between tomato pie & tomato cobbler. Tomatoes truly are a showcase of the goodness of the season & reflect the best of a region’s agricultural offerings. This next Call wants to showcase your best this Summer. Take a look…

Over the past seven years Art&ArtDeadlines.com has evolved. If you haven’t been with us from the beginning, just assume we’ve always been this fabulous. But if you’ve been reading for 5+ years, well, we’re happy to have had a witness to the transformation. The fundamental change from rambling, long posts to shorter posts in standard formatting came somewhere around year two, followed quickly by changes to color and imagery. Last year the branding got more consistent, and the pics grew in size.

Even my taste in food has changed over time.

____

This year we have begun to follow through on the art portion of Art&ArtDeadlines.com with the #artistoftheday posts, but we still have a lot of work to do. And the next step is offering additional resources for professional development like grants, purchase awards and residencies –maybe even a guest post or two.

If you want to help, we welcome your suggestions, need your re-posts & shares. What do YOU need? On a more personal note, I would welcome your feedback & support. Seven years is a long time to post opportunities, and the payoffs have been huge on a personal level. The artists and jurors and gallerists that I have have come to know and love and count amongst my friends and peers remains the biggest and most unexpected gift. Thank you. If we don’t know each other, comment or message or email me. Say hello. I’m here for, fingers-crossed, years to come.

one POTATO, two POTATOES

I caught my child harvesting poisonous potatoes. Digging up a rare, toxic tater is a good thing I’m told. They weren’t meant for us, luckily, and he didn’t dig them from our yard. He found them in the Desert Biome on Minecraft. If you don’t understand that last sentence, fear not, you can stick to checkers or chess for this next Call. Play through…

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Games: Marbles to Minecraft. $25 entry. I really don’t see this curatorial theme often. Take a look…

Grow food, not grass is popping up as a meme all over social media. But, if you have an home owners association, you are also facing rules against front-yard gardens and maybe even stiff penalties. so of my neighbors have solved the issue for themselves by growing supplemental foods among their shrubs and flowers.

CALL for ENTRIES: Really, Really

squish SQUASH

Need a squash recipe? We should talk. Because they are in-season, inexpensive & always in-stock at my farmer’s market, it seems as though my family eats “crookneck” summer squash & zucchini nearly every day –sauteed, cassarole’d, mashed & even as soup. It is the perfect make-something-with-what-you-have veggie, and it is really, really affordable, sometimes 99¢ or less a pound. This next Call is for really, really affordable art, but I promise their definition is more palatable. Time to purge the studio…

CALL for ENTRIES: Enthusiasm

Posted on July 3, 2016July 3, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

SOUP-y soft spot

I will eat almost anything once, we’ve established this already. But, as a kid, I would not get past the lemon-furniture-polish impression I had of lemongrass and ginger. Luckily I was far more likely to be faced with fried okra than lemongrass as a youngster. As an adult, I am such a fan. A day with a bowl (or three) of Tom Kha soup never ends badly. I’m a little overly enthusiastic about ginger, but perfectly enthusiastic about this Call. Take a look…

flawless FRUIT

I’m taking less food pics in restaurants these days. I’ve been shamed into stopping. How ’bout you? Now when I am served a beautiful dish, I have to weigh whether it is worth the condescending looks of disdain from servers and other patrons. Sigh. The only advantage is that taking pictures at home allows me to use a really camera, not my phone, and get the cherries arranged just so. Plus, now I can re-heat dinner after I get the perfect shot, ha. This next Call is interested in your perfect shots. Take a look…

ARTIST of the DAY: Christian Hetzel

Posted on July 2, 2016July 1, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

(left to right) Ruptured Concrete No 1 and No 2 by Christian Hetzel — *(left to right) Ruptured Concrete No 1 & Ruptured Concrete No 2 by Christian Hetzel*

“In times of overload of visual impressions, I try to send the viewer on a journey of discovery across the painting surface and sensitize him for the few and less in color, structures, cracks and textures.” — Christian Hetzel

______________

Years of being allowed to handle artwork as a juror, curator and/or gallerist has made me the patron that museums loathe. I want to feel the texture, smell the oils, see the support structure. Art should always be personal. Intimate. But, I refrain. I still long to touch, but I don’t.

Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Christian Hetzel chooses texture and palette to convey a complexity of message. There is a reason all signs flash and a commercials scream. Competing for our attention is complicated. But does it have to be?

______________

You’ll long to touch the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Christian Hetzel!
