CRABBY
about winter

I am dreaming of a June picnic in the park. I want crab salad on a beautiful buttery croissant, a bright spinach salad and a large glass of lemonade. But that will have to wait. Any picnic in the park right now would involve mittens and down bubble coats. This next Call could be the perfect chance for my picnicking dreams. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for ArtPark 2013 (Columbia, MD). There is NO ENTRY FEE, and this is one of the lowest price art festivals that I have every seen. Maryland is beautiful in June, by the way…

RESTAURANT
of the mind

Food always has carries place memories for me. I’ve told you before that I dream of Memphis when I eat BBQ & jambalaya makes me long for New Orleans.

This next Call is all about the spirit of place. Embrace this…

CALL for ENTRIES: Fantastic Fibers

Posted on December 14, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ROUND
the table

My dining room table is round. This makes placemats hard to find because the corners prevent the placemat from getting close enough to the edge. I could buy some ugly plastic ones and trim them, but I want the same beautiful fibers like silk with embroidery or elegant bamboo. And then I saw them, placements made specifically for round tables. This has made my month, thank-you-very-much. This next Call is all about fibers. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Fantastic Fibers 2013 hosted by the Yeiser Art Center (Paducah, KY), Paducah’s Gateway to the Arts. This is show really is fantastic, and you can enter for as little as $12. This is a gem for fiber artists…

REMINDER: B*tchfest

Posted on December 12, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

WINE
for whiners

I think people drink more wine at the holidays because of all the whining. Wine won’t stop people FROM whining, but it will certainly help you tune them out. Bitching, when done correctly, can’t be tuned out–regardless of wine consumption. This next Call is all about the bitching, but I suspect the wine is welcome too. Take a look…

CHOCOLATE
dreams

I’m waiting for Valentine’s Day chocolates to be in the stores any day now. After all, Christmas decorations were out before Halloween. If my husband ever bought me a cheesy box of chocolates for this faux-holiday, I would fall on the floor in shock. Chocolate? Sure. Heart shaped box? Not yet, thankfully. I appreciate that corporate America creates holidays so that we can all schedule time to tell those we love how much they mean, but it doesn’t mean you have to celebrate the way they tell you to. This next Call is a much better way to celebrate Valentine’s day. Take a look…

OPEN CALL: Ormond Museum

Posted on December 10, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CITRUS
power

Never underestimate the power of food. Grapefruit is now known to interfere with over 70 medications, and many antibiotics have warnings about orange juice. And I am certain that somewhere there are geneticists trying to modify both of these fruits to fix the problem–which is scary, but I digress. The world is your buffet, but you have to make your choices carefully. This next Call looks like a good call to me. But, take a look for yourself…

CALL for ENTRIES: Reflections

Posted on December 9, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

FOOD
for thought

It is that time of year again. Time to reflect upon choices made, good and bad, as well as choices to be made, good and bad. I won’t presume to give you life advice, and there are dozens of sites dedicated to give you advice on how to be a “successful” artist. So, I will only repeat what we all learned in kindergarten. You are what you eat. You are given only one life with which to be creative. Fuel it well and your efforts will be reflected in your work. This next Call will ask you for even more reflection. Investigate this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Smithtown Township Arts Council for Reflections to be exhibited at the Mills Pond House Gallery in St. James, NY. This is such a beautiful place to exhibit your work. Take a closer look…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Reflections, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Reflections

Reflection can be either a physical or a psychological phenomenon. Together they evoke the interplay between perception and conception.

Entries will be judged on the originality and insight with which they embody this theme visually in traditional as well as new media. A brief explanation such as might be printed on a label along with the artist’s information can be helpful, but the best work will succeed in conveying meaning by itself. Longer explanations will not be considered. The use of mirrors in the work is permissible but neither necessary, nor necessarily desirable.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists/students enrolled in M.F.A. programs

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: February 1, 2013

NOTIFICATION: February 22, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $45 for up to 3 entries. $35 for STAC member artists.

He was educated at Phillips Andover, Yale (B.A.), Harvard (PhD) and the Institut d’Art et d’Archéologie of the Sorbonne in Paris (license-ès-lettres).

CALL for ENTRIES: Encaustic Invitational

Posted on December 8, 2012December 16, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

A CANDLE
a day?

One of the things I miss most about being able to shop at the Farmer’s Market or local orchard during the winter is the ability to get wax-free fruit. When I see a waxed apple, I have to assume it is really old. Yes, fruit is waxed to make it “pretty” for consumers, but it is also done to seal in moisture and preserve “weight” for as much as a year. Pick the ugly fruit, please. This next Call uses wax in a much better way. Take a look…

MEAL

I wrote a post a while back about a report I heard that claimed we would all be printing our food in 20 years. Well, I was wrong. Apparently you can print food now thanks to Cornell Creative Machines Lab. OMG, I can’t take this. Luckily, this next Call is about printing of a much better sort. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Detroit Print Exchange for the time we cannot meet. The entry fee is only $20, and this is a golden opportunity for printmakers. Investigate for yourself…

CALL for ENTRIES:
the time we cannot meet

The Detroit Print Exchange is the first of (hopefully many) annual juried art collaborations. Artists are invited to submit an edition of 25 prints and in turn receive a complete portfolio of 20 prints from all 20 contributing artists.

In truth, the The Detroit Print Exchange is a chance to redefine what it means to be a young emerging artist, to prove that good things really do come in small packages, and to build connections between artists working around the country.

The Challenge is to create an edition of 25 prints in response to the words “ the time we cannot meet”. Cryptic yet straight forward the words resonate with missed opportunity and honesty. Today is there truly a time when two people cannot meet? Has technology removed time from how we interact? Explore, create and redefine.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Printmaking

DEADLINE: January 5, 2013

NOTIFICATION: January 31, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $20 for 8 to 10 images

JURY PROCESS: Participants will be selected based on a portfolio of previous work, artist statement and CV, spaces are limited.

AWARDS: The final portfolio will be exhibited in Detroit. Detroit Print Exchange will host an online Portfolio that viewers can access via the internet.

SALES: Limited edition reproductions of the final portfolio will be sold.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Magic of Light

Posted on December 5, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

COMFORTABLY
light

I normally crave heavy comfort foods in the Winter just like everyone else. However, this year, I find myself still craving the lightness of lemon and fresh herbs. I don’t know if I just haven’t resigned myself to the fact that it is actually Winter, or whether my ever-evolving desire to eat healthier, fresher foods have just changed the work I do in the kitchen. Use this next Call to show how the “lightness” of it all affects YOUR work. Investigate…
