NETWORKING: State Art Organizations – Montana to Wyoming

Posted on November 5, 2009June 21, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

One of the most valuable assets to a cook is the money to buy groceries, but money won’t help if you don’t have anywhere to cook. State art agencies often provide both funding and the opportunities to use it. I believe that state art agencies are under used by artists, and as a result, are often among the first to lose their funding during budget cuts.

Start Cooking!

In an effort to take away your excuses, here are all 50 of the state art agencies. This is the second half– Montana to Wyoming. Read about the State Art Organizations: Alabama to Missouri. Contact them today. Pour over their sites. Download grant applications. Don’t complain about the food until you’ve tried it.

Be the feather in the cap of your state’s art foundation, council or agency.

FEATURED ARTIST: Kris Wlodarski

Posted on October 26, 2009August 7, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

BOTTOMS up!

The mission of AAAD is to inspire artists through resources, opportunities, and the work of your contemporaries. Should you be our next Artist of the Day? Be sure to let us know. AAAD is proud to feature the work of painter Kris Wlodarski.

Krzysztof Wlodarski, aka Kali, born in 1977 in Poland. Graduated at University of Zielona Gora, Poland in philosophy. Wlodarski, influenced by the art of Gottried Helnwein, Saturno Butto, Joel Peter Witkin and modern Bodyart movements, is now showing a series “The Sleep of Reason.” Wlodarski is also musician , film-maker, and tattoo artist, living and working in London.

Wlodarski says, “These works are reflecting a head-on collision between the primary sphere of instinct (sex & violence) and the secondary sphere of culture (taboo). This leads to a sort of synthesis, its necessary result being a transgressive form of art.

“I call it ‘The sleep of reason,’ a reference to Goya , because this is the manifestation of all that is pre-rational, anti-enlightenment, anti-creative. It is about the moments of insanity when the language and logic are suspended in favour of primal drives that are otherwise subject to suppression by cultural structures.”

Plagued by anxiety and bitterness from a devastating illness, Francisco Goya (1746 – 1828) created “The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters,” one of 80 etchings in his “Los Caprichos” series–scathing critiques of human errors and vices of contemporary religious and political figures. “The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters” portrays Goya, often believed to be the Father of Modern Art, hounded by creatures that threaten the ignorant mind. Goya believed that imagination, combined with reason, would keep these monsters at bay.

I am drawn to the passion with which Wlodarski’s interprets his vision of contemporary culture–shaped by sex and violence, destruction and morbidity. The connection to Goya, and sometimes startling lack of connection, is a comment on Wlodarski’s view on where we are as a culture today. His striking use of color gives us a momentary glimpse into the moments of insanity between the rational thoughts. The moments without control or norms.

It is easy to feel transported to another place or time by these works, and maybe that’s the sugar that makes it easier to take the medicine–the knowledge that we are all there, on the cusp, all the time. It is…the buttery taste of scotch with the charred character of bourbon.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Soap Factory – November 2009

Posted on October 23, 2009October 24, 2009 by R.L. Gibson

I love to support people and spaces whose mission it is to support the best in the arts. I have a devoted reverence for human potential, and I am happy to have found a kindred spirit in The Soap Factory. It is time for their Open Call for Submissions.

This is not a fee-based, juried show. The Soap Factory supports artists and their work not only by providing exhibition and studio space on an unprecedented scale, but also by providing skilled staff to aid artists in realizing new work, by paid stipends to both artists & curators, and by securing press articles & critiques in a unique gallery space with a national profile. The Soap Factory helps position artists to continue beyond their Soap Factory exhibitions.

I usually post Calls in a brief format with links; however, I don’t want to take the chance that you won’t click the link. So, here is the complete call:

Call for Submissions to The Soap Factory:

The Soap Factory exhibition season runs from January – October, with three main blocks of exhibition programming. Exhibitions are often comprised of a large group show in the main galleries, three individual artist project rooms and two video rooms. For the 2010/2011 season, they are particularly interested in proposals for the winter months, which take into account the fact that The Soap Factory is unheated. Projects that propose to use the entire 12,000 sq feet of gallery space are always encouraged.

Their programming is unique in that they select the majority of the artists for exhibit from their pool of submissions. They commonly receive over 350 artist submissions per season.

Submission Guidelines for 2010 season:

Postmark deadline is November 30, 2009.
They do NOT accept e-mailed submissions.
Submissions are reviewed for the 2010 season, which runs from 1st May- 31st October.
Artists selected for the 2010/2011 season will be notified in late March 2010.
They may keep your submission on file for up to 8 months.
Do not call or email to check on your submission.
The Soap Factory does not return work. Please send only materials that you do not need returned.

What to send:

A cover page indicating the following information:

Up to ten color images of your work. Images must be Mac compatible (jPeg, tif, pdf) not less than 1500×2100 pixels.
Resume, artist statement and project description/proposal, if applicable.

CALL FOR VENDORS: Crafty Feast – November 2009 Deadline

Posted on October 19, 2009October 19, 2009 by R.L. Gibson

This post will not end the debate about art vs. craft vs. artisan crafts vs. crafty artisans. If the word “crafty” exclusively conjures the image of Martha Stewart and crocheted toilet paper covers for you, this may not be your venue.

I usually refrain from writing about Vendor Opportunities; however, almost every artist I know has a crafty streak (not the one pictured right). And, I simply can’t refuse a connection, albeit just in name, between food and art. Yep, I said it…art. Don’t begrudge an craft artisan the title of artist because they actually SELL something. Think of it as an opportunity–an opportunity to EAT.

The Crafty Feast is an juried indie craft fair held in Columbia, SC. It is mainly regional with artists primarly coming from the Carolinas; however, they do boast artists from as far away as Colorado and New York.

This year, the Crafty Feast is being held in the beautiful 10,000 square foot historic Tapp’s building on Main Street (pictured left) in Columbia, SC on December 12th.

I encourage you to investigate the Crafty Feast. Apply and make a few bucks. There seems to be no fee to apply, and the vendor fee ($60) is reasonable…you know how I love free entries. Here’s some great information from their site and pics from previous vendors:

What is an Indie Craft Fair?

They’re not your mama’s craft fair, that’s for sure! Crafty Feast specifically specializes in experimental, non-traditional and unique handmade or repurposed crafts (we love green). Indie crafts have swept the nation. For more information about Indie Crafts in Atlanta, read this Creative Loafing article. Many of their vendors come from Etsy.com–come to the Crafty Feast to check them out. Or if you can’t make it to the feast, visit the site to find something perfect for you!

What is Crafty Feast?

Crafty Feast is a juried independent craft fair that was first held May 30th, 2009. Crafty Feast showcases unique, one-of a kind crafts made by independent designers similar to what you find on Etsy.com.

What’s a jury? Is there a prize?

There are no prizes. Everyone who applied was viewed by a jury of independent artists who meet, look at 2 images of the vendors work and make their selection of works that are handmade or repurposed and are unique in some way.

Does it cost to get in?

Currently, Crafty Feast is a free event and it’s usually cash and carry

I wanna buy that! Who’s going to be there?

Past vendors goods have ranged from recycled handmade hats to purses made out of inner-tubes. See all past vendors here.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Art-O-Mat

Posted on October 18, 2009 by R.L. Gibson

I originally became an art gallery owner because I couldn’t afford the art I loved, and I wanted to be responsible for making at least some of the art I loved affordable. But I assure you that your friendly blogger didn’t invent the idea of affordable art. Neither did Art-O-Mat, but I love their take.

Now there is no excuse not to be a collector. Submit your work today! Here is some great information from Art-O-Mat.

Many thanks to Toni Turbeville for reminding me of this great resource.

What is an Art-o-mat?
Art-o-mat machines are retired cigarette vending machines that have been converted to vend art. There are 82 active machines in various locations throughout the country. Find an art-o-mat near you.

What do you get from an Art-o-mat?
The experience of pulling the knob alone is quite a thrill, but you also walk away with an original work of art. What an easy way to become an art collector. See Art-O-Mat samples here. Check out the Art-O-Mat work of Kathy Fisher (pictured right).

Want to be an Artomat artist?
There are around 400 contributing artists from 10 different countries currently involved in the Art*o*mat project. They are always searching for fresh work. Check out the submission process. Just remember, all they can do is say no. Do your research, and then follow the guidelines. Be brave and submit your inspired art so that someone else can afford to be a collector…and eat!

ART DEADLINES: February 2010 Preview

Posted on October 15, 2009 by R.L. Gibson

I like projects to stir up my creativity. The Art House Co-op is a great group for projects.

Your faithful blogger, R.L. Gibson, has participated in other projects, and if you’ve got an extra $18 and want to be published…give it a try. The deadline to sign up (& pay) isn’t until February of 2010; however, experience has taught me that these projects fill up REALLY fast.

So…. Don’t wait or there won’t be any cookies left.

SHOW: The Scavenger Project 2 — Art House Co-op

DEADLINE: February 14, 2010 (Deadline to sign up to participate) &
April 15, 2010 (Postmark deadline to submit your artwork by)

EXHIBIT TYPE: multiple exhibitions (at galleries in Brooklyn, NY and Seattle, WA) and in a book.

MEDIA: Any medium may be used as long as it can be shipped (or photos taken and included on a CD).

DESCRIPTION: The Art House Co-op will send you a list of 10 items for you to interpret anyway you can think of. This is as much a social experiment as it is an art exhibition. Experimentation and thinking outside of the box is the name of the game. The first time Art House Co-op did the Scavenger hunt project is was a blast. This time they will be traveling to Seattle with it. It seems like everyone really pushes the limits of their creativity for The Scavenger Project!

ART DEADLINE: Sculpture November 2009

Posted on October 6, 2009October 6, 2009 by R.L. Gibson

The Salisbury Sculpture show has announced a Call for Entries for the 2010 – 2011 show in Salisbury, NC. A successful initial run has built Salisbury’s reputation as a venue for First Class sculpture. The 2009 Sculpture Show drew coverage from UNC-TV and Our State Magazine as well as multiple local and regional media outlets.

Salisbury is a unique city with historic main street charm where public art is a mainstay in the city’s profile. The Salisbury Sculpture Show provides an appealing venue for artists and engages residents and visitors, generates citizen input & cultivates art patrons.

Selected pieces will be carefully sited to best enhance the sculptures’ visibility and accessibility. Exhibiting artists will receive a stipend. In addition, three sculptures from the 2009 or 2010 selections will be purchased for the City of Salisbury’s new Fiber to the Home Customer Service Center. A 25% commission on work sold during the show will help build funds for future public art projects.
