CALL for ENTRIES: Off the Street

Posted on February 9, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

MUM’S
the word

Yellow mustard is a staple of the Southern refrigerator, but it doesn’t appear in mine. I love mustard, but the older I get the more I appreciate pungent flavors. And well, yellow mustard doesn’t, well, cut the mustard anymore. That’s right, folks, I’m a rebel. You’ll only find Dijon mustard in my house. Don’t tell anyone; they’ll force me to the other side of the Mason-Dixon line if you do. This next Call involves it’s own sort of rebellion. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries for Off the Street from ARTs East New York (Brooklyn, NY). There is no entry fee, and the media is NOT limited to installation art, despite the name.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Off the Street

Public.

Rebellious.

Anonymous.

Elusive.

These qualities come with the territory of Street Art. However, a growing trend to display such artwork in gallery spaces necessarily obfuscates these seemingly essential features of the art form.

The upcoming exhibit at ARTs East New York explores a complicated question: What is left of Street Art once it’s taken off the street? Off the Street will feature works that are more than just gallery-ready replications of artwork on the street, but are instead explorations extending the space of the “street” from the physical to the conceptual.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA:
All media

DEADLINE:
March 1, 2013

NOTIFICATION:
mid March

ENTRY FEE: None

SALES: ARTs East New York will charge a 10% commission fee.

STALE

I just found out my stove won’t go below 225°. I was preparing to roast chickpeas instead of drying them in my dehydrator. But, I usually slow roast them at 200°. Hmph. Those 25 degrees make a difference. You know what I mean. Haven’t you ever split the difference when you had to bake two things at two different temperatures at the same time? Something usually suffers. I’ve eaten many a soggy crust pizza because of this dilemma. Well this next Call comes from a gallery whose very name involves a melting point reference. Intrigued?

Check out this Call for Entries from Eutectic Gallery (Portland, OR) for ceramic work. The fee is fairly standard, but they take both single artists AND pairs. Take a look…

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

CALL for ENTRIES:
Eutectic

Eu・tec・tic – [yoo-tek-tik] adj.: The proportion of constituents in a mixture that yields the lowest possible complete melting point; often lower than the constituents on their own.

Similar to the relationship between the components that make up clay and their proportions, Eutectic Gallery wishes to explore the relationship between an artist’s process, product, & concept, and the public’s interpretation of, interaction with, and critique of said work.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Ceramic

DEADLINE: February 8 for the April exhibit (don’t worry…you can submit online) and March 8 for the May exhibit

NOTIFICATION: Traditionally, within 30 days. Editor’s Note: I have tried to contact the gallery for confirmation; however, I have not heard back in time for the February 8th deadline. I will update when I do.

ENTRY FEE: For a single artist $25 and $35 for paired artists, either can submit up to 5 images. Add’l $5 ea.

MOOOO-VE

I’m not a huge fan of buffet restaurants. I understand why people hosting large parties prefer buffets, but I choose NOT to go to buffet restaurants because I prefer not to be surrounded by people. And, not all food should be held at the same temp. I don’t like being part of the herd. Luckily, this next Call is about art and not food because it is a bit like a buffet style show. As I mentioned, sometimes it just works. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from the new Roman Susan Gallery (Chicago, IL) for Surrounded Salon. I LOVE salon-style–the sensory overload of floor to ceiling work and disparate styles and techniques hanging side by side. Give it a try…

PEARLS
of wisdom

I have a long-standing addiction to pasta. More accurately, I am addicted to that slightly drowsy, completely relaxed feeling I have when I finish a beautiful Italian meal. My friends have been trying to get me to read Wheat Belly, but I’ve resisted for fear that I would end up having to give up my favorite pasta, whole wheat couscous. I cannot bear the thought. So, this next Call comes from San Francisco which has nothing to do with couscous, but the last time I made a Rice-A-Roni segue, I got email for weeks. So, my stream of consciousness led me to couscous. I know, random. Regardless, don’t miss this next Call…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mayhem

Posted on February 1, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

THE POPCORN
fiasco

I recently reclaimed my kitchen. Lately, the time I spend outside of my home office, art and music studios is greatly reduced, and now I handle almost ALL of the cooking again. I’m loving it, but I have become SO territorial. My husband can make popcorn, and it looks like someone has been killing zombies. And why, pray tell, if the dishwasher is empty can the dirty dishes not go there instead of on the counter? Deep breaths; I digress. This next Call is all about Mayhem; Send them your best…

CALL for ENTRIES: Skin

Posted on January 31, 2013February 1, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

WATER, WATER
everywhere

I’ve never cared for drinking water. I know, I know. Shame and guilt. I drink unsweetened decaffeinated iced tea by the gallon. But somewhere along the way I noticed a few wrinkles and sags in my face. Shortly thereafter I tripped across an article extolling the wonders that drinking water promises for your skin. It was hard, but I stuck with it hoping for miraculous results. Now I regularly crave water in addition to all the tea that I still drink. Of course, it made no noticeable difference in my skin, but it IS proof that I am not immune to the vanity that rears its ugly head as we age. This next Call is all about skin. I love this theme…

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…

of the human form

variable in nature.

CALL to ACTION: Empty Bowls

Posted on January 29, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

SOUP
for every season

I talk a lot about food. I take food for granted. I have been in some pretty horrible financial situations over the years, but I always knew that there would be a next meal for me and my family. Not everyone has that luxury. So, while I blather on about the pros and cons of of reducing dairy in my diet, there ARE people in my community, and yours, that wish whether or not they have dairy was their CHOICE. This next Call is artistic in nature, related to food, and may be one of the hardest Calls to get you to follow through. Please investigate…

Check out the Call to Action known as Empty Bowls. Many of you get upset at the never ending requests that you, as an artist, receive to donate your work to some non-profit or the other. Here’s your chance to be a part of creating an event that makes a difference in YOUR community in a way that YOU can control. Please just take a look…

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

CALL to ACTION:
Empty Bowls

Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger and was created by The Imagine Render Group.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: The basic premise is simple: Potters and other craftspeople, educators and others work with the community to create handcrafted bowls. Guests are invited to a simple meal of soup and bread.

DEADLINE: On-going as long as someone in your community is hungry

SALES: In exchange for a cash donation, guests are asked to keep a bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. The money raised is donated to an organization working to end hunger and food insecurity.

It is the collective genius of all the people involved that has made Empty Bowls what it has become. Events have now taken place across the United States and in at least a dozen other countries. Many millions of dollars have been raised and donated to hunger-fighting organizations. We could never have imagined all the things people have done or all the ways the project has touched people.

Each individual or group organizing an event designs it around the needs of their own community and is responsible for their own event. We ask that all such events are called Empty Bowls so that the idea can continue to spread.

Please make your event inclusive, insist that it maintain a high level of integrity, include an educational component to raise awareness, and give the money raised to an organization helping to feed people in need.

The largest hunger-relief organization in the United States, Feeding America, reports that the nation’s food banks could soon be overwhelmed by demand. Statistics show that 1 out of 8 Americans struggle with food insecurity every day. Millions of people have lost their jobs during the most recent recession and the number of food stamp recipients has increased dramatically. Your help is needed now more than ever.

MY FIRST

My favorite place to eat dinner is, well, anywhere. Anywhere where the cook is passionate and LOVES what they create.

This is their first Call, and your ONLY opportunity be a part of their first. Take a look…

Posted on January 24, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

NOT THE SAME OLD
same old

My favorite restaurant added a whole new selection of side items from creamed cauliflower to spaghetti squash Parmesan. I love it when the old standard surprises you with a little refresher. This next Call is a perfect example. One of my favorite photography-specific galleries is offering their FIRST non-photographic solo show. So exciting…

Check out this Call for Entries for Spring Featured Artist – Abstraction from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, VA). The entry fee is higher than our norm, but remember…you’re gambling on a SOLO show.

CALL for ENTRIES: Fork & Knife

Posted on January 22, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

MODERATION
kills?

All of my life, some adult or the other has been saying “everything in moderation” to me. It has always been my favorite justification for pizza, brownies, and other I-should-know-better indulgences. Then I watched Forks over Knives and heard “moderation kills”. You know what killed me? Their version of moderation was eating dairy and meat. Really? Milk is an indulgence now? I have to admit, I have lowered my dairy and meat intake, but clearly, moderation is going to kill me. This next Call is NOT about moderation, but it IS about food. Investigate…

Check out this Call to Artists for Fork and Knife 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:
Fork and Knife
