REMINDER: Show Some Skin

Posted on February 27, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

DON’T BE
a chicken

Chicken skin is bizarre. I frequently buy chicken in bulk then take it home and clean it. Skinning chicken still freaks me out. Clearly, I’ll could never have married into the Alaska: The Last Frontier family. Peach skin gives me the willies too. I think it is a textural issue. Luckily, this next Call is all about skin of the non-chicken variety. The deadline is just around the corner…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Skin. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Skin

The undulating landscape
of the human form
is one of the most
variable in nature.

With so many sizes, shapes, textures, and tones, our subject matter is endlessly inspiring.

Show Darkroom Gallery the Bodies you’ve portrayed through your photographic eye.

Photography

JUROR: Allen Birnbach has worked as a Photographer for over 30 years; from product to non-profit, hospitality to finance and to the performing arts, he has found great success in commercial Photography.

CALL for ENTRIES: 24th Annual

Posted on February 26, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

JUST ADD
feathers

Tomatoes really are the showgirls of the fruit and/or veggie world. They are perfect as a sliced accompaniment to eggs for breakfast. They make the perfect lunch as tomato soup. But come night time, they dress up as the essential ingredient of the sexy Caprese salad. This next Call has nothing to do with tomatoes, or showgirls for that matter, but it does beckon from Las Vegas. To-may-to, To-mah-to…

CALL for ENTRIES: Women

Posted on February 25, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

MOMMIE
dearest

I’ve never been accused of being overly maternal. However, my kid will be 14 years old soon, so I must have done something right. He now eats brussel sprouts and asparagus. Another point in my favor–well, OUR favor. It was actually my husband that spent the first 12 years of our kid’s life being the more maternal one. To hell with gender roles. Whatever works is my motto. This next Call wants your slant on being a woman. Approx. 52% of you should have a bird’s eye view of this one…

Check out this Call to Artists for Women from the Linus Galleries (Pasadena, CA). The exhibit offers an online listing as well as the possibility for a showing in one of their brick and mortar galleries. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Open Waters

Posted on February 23, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

DON’T CROSS
the tea

I am mystified by hot tea. Sometimes I like it; sometimes I don’t. Mostly, I don’t. I think it is just years and years of habitually drinking tea cold that has made the warm version so very odd to me. But then again, sometimes I’m not that crazy about iced tea either. I think that in the end, it all comes down to the water. Good water, good tea. This next Call is all about the water. I like this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries for Open Water from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry is very reasonable, and the juror is active and easily researched through her work and her gallery. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Open Water

Water has a long history as subject matter for artists. It is revered for its beauty as well as respected and feared for its unpredictable nature.

Water carves our landscapes, making rivers and streams. It provides sustenance, recreation, and transport. Whether contained in swimming pools, bathtubs, or fountains, or freely flowing waterfalls, currents, and tides, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images of literal and metaphoric interpretations for Open Water.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA:
All photographic media are encouraged.

Jennifer Schwartz is originally from Richmond, Virginia, and has her BA from Colgate University and her MA from Georgia State University.

They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.

SMALL PLATE
big stomach

The natural result of my food obsession is that I have tried every diet on the planet, or so it would seem. One of the funniest (and most futile) was to use only 6″ x 6″ square plates. The thought is that you could fool your brain into thinking you had eaten a full-size plate of food while only actually consuming the smaller portion. The one problem with that plan is that I’m not that easily suggestible. Is anyone? This is the next Call is a far better use of the 6″ square. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Rochester Contemporary Art Center (RoCo) for the 6x6x2013. There is no entry fee for up to 6 submissions. This show looks great on your resume, and your work could hang side by side with celebrity artists! One of my favorite shows of the year…

CALL for ENTRIES: Your Fantasy

Posted on February 13, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

ALL MUSSELS
no brains

My fantasy meal changes. Some days, mac ‘n’ cheese and moon pies take the cake. But on days like today, I would kill for a dozen wine-steamed mussels with garlic butter and fresh parsley. My husband Jon says that it seems as though I hold his adult-onset allergy to shell fish against him. Today, he might be right. But, every meal doesn’t have to be a fantasy. This next Call IS all about the fantasy of it all. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Working It Out

Posted on February 12, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

CHOCOLATE
surprise

I am addicted to chocolate. And, I mistakenly assume that if it is chocolate, I will love it. Wrong. You can screw up chocolate. Milk chocolate is not my favorite version, but done well, there is a time and place for milk chocolate. But every once in a while, I am offered chocolate and it is grainy, infused with artificial flavors or so sweet that it makes my teeth hurt. It is always a reminder to mind what I put in my mouth–a warning that I assume is unnecessary for most people. This next Call could easily be assumed to be a painting call, but it isn’t. This is a great surprise…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Painting Center (NY, NY) for Working It Out, an exhibition of artists’ working drawings–generally kept private. The entry fee is standard, but this opportunity is extraordinary. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Working It Out

The Painting Center, a gallery in the heart of Chelsea, announces a call for entries for its upcoming juried exhibition entitled WORKING IT OUT, running from June 18th to July 13th, 2013.

Artists of all disciplines begin their creative process with preparatory drawings. This enables visual problem solving throughout the execution of an artwork that is both fluid and beautiful. Drawing can be an exploration of materials, mark making, the emotional tenor of a piece, compositional arrangements or color. Working drawings are the visual manifestation of a work in progress; a working idea. Typically, this work is not seen by the public.

These are private musings that reflect thought processes. They are, by definition, incomplete. This exhibition will allow the viewer to see the private world of the artist’s creative process.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Artists working in all media are encouraged to submit their working drawings.

DEADLINE: April 15, 2013

NOTIFICATION: April 25, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 5

CONFESSIONS
of an empty-headed
food trough wiper

The holy grail of culinary education is the Cordon Blue, and more recently, the Culinary Institutes of America. I attended Johnson & Wales for a year and continue to be grateful for all that I learned. I put me on the path to being the food-lover that I am. And honestly, without the foodie side of me, I’m not sure this blog would have made it. It gave me a brand, a platform if you will, to set AAAD apart from all the art deadlines out there. Many feel that museum exhibits are the holy grail of art shows, and this next Call could be your holy grail. Take a look…
