A MUDDY MARKET

Further solidifying his commitment to the African wilderness, Brandt recently established the remarkable Big Life Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation of Africa’s wildlife and ecosystems.

Brandt has had multiple solo exhibitions worldwide, including in New York, Los Angeles, London, Berlin, Sydney, Munich, Brussels, Amsterdam and Paris.

CALL for ENTRIES: Art of the Plains 2011

Posted on May 22, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BEIGE NO LONGER

When people hear “American Food” they think of a homogenous buffet of beige food, but American food is a great quilt of influences from around the world. For example, New Mexican Cuisine is also very different than the preferred Tex-Mex style of Mexican-American food in Texas and Arizona. One of its most defining characteristics is the dominance of the New Mexican chile—in red and green varieties, depending on the stage of ripeness when picked. Other distinctive elements include blue corn, the stacked enchilada, and sopapillas into which honey is added moments before eating. Eat a little for me at the opening of this next show…

Check out this Call for Entries from the American Plains Artists in Las Cruces, New Mexico for Art of the Plains 2011. All traditional media (no photography or computer generated) considered. The entry fee is $25 (plus membership), and the deadline for digital entries is June 4th. I have NEVER seen this many awards for one show EVER…

CALL for ENTRIES: Art of the Plains 2011

The American Plains Artists announce a call to artists for a juried exhibition, September 8 – October 30, 2011 at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum, Las Cruces, NM.

Sculpture would be of moderate size and not exceed 100 pounds. Artwork must represent the theme of the show: American Plains.

DEADLINE: June 4, 2011 for digital entries.

JUROR: New Mexican cowboy artist Robert “SHOOFLY” Shufelt has created graphite drawings that have become an important thread in the fabric of Western Art, earning world wide recognition. His work illuminates the bare bones of an artist’s craft and portrays the physical evidence of his perception. They are celebrations of a dreamer who has allowed his dream to become reality with all its grit and honesty, yet he still finds the work endlessly nteresting and satisfying. He has an artist’s vision of cowboys as they can only be around another cowboy, unposed and unself-conscious. They are men who practice their vision of excellence in whatever they do, leaving it up to the rest of us to determine whether they’re working or playing. These disciples of the “cowboy way” are Shoofly’s top hands and his work is forever honored by their friendship.

AWARDS:

Best of Show $2,000.00

1st Place Award $1,000
2nd Place Award $750
3rd Place Award $500

Director’s Award – One-year Gift Subscription to Western Art & Architecture Magazine; Award of Excellence –a one-year subscription to Western Art & Architecture given by Western Art & Architecture – Ribbons presented by American Plains Artists; Publisher’s Award of Excellence – Half Page Ad sponsored by Art of the West $1,780.00 value; Publisher’s Award of Excellence – Artist’s Focus Award sponsored by Western Art Collector $2,900.00 value; Publisher’s Award of Excellence – Full Page Ad sponsored by Southwest Art $3,125.00 value; Publisher’s Award of Excellence – Full Page Ad sponsored by Western Art & Architecture $4,950.00 value; Artist’s Retreat Award – given by Our Heritage Guest Ranch, Jean Norman, Owner, Crawford, NE $600.00 value; Best Framing Award – given by Larson-Juhl & Mark Nichols, Dallas, TX – $150.00 Gift Certificate; and Fine Print Award – given by Fine Print Imaging, Fort Collins, CO $150. 00 Gift Certificate.

Warm cheese makes the world go ’round. When I’ve had a hard day, there is nothing I love more than nachos and a raspberry pineapple daiquiri and my local creekside cantina.

CALL for ENTRIES: Digital Unity

Posted on May 12, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FOOD for the EYES

I love food fusion. I’ve eaten in some crazy creations from Tex-Mex crossed with Filipino food to Cajun food crossed with Asian food. Recently I had Rueben eggrolls. Delicious. Not everyone embraces the new of it all. Digital art is like food fusion… not everyone loves it. This call gives you a great chance to participate in a digital show, and it just happens to be in Berlin. Bonus…

Check out this Call for Entries for Digital Unity sponsored by ANNEX:art and Förderkreis Dorfkirche Lübzow. The entry fee is a standard $35 (approximately), and it could get you an international show! This is not an online show…

*Editor’s Note: This show is two-part… the Call for Entries AND a separate Artist Residency to install all the accepted pieces. Enter your work (and maybe even you) could be on its way to Berlin. This Call is a little odd, and the website is not incredibly clear. If you are excited about a call for digital work, email the curator, Dr. Jörg Bauer, with your questions.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Digital Unity

The concept of this project will be to present various forms of digital art in a unified digital installation. Artist submissions are open to digital photography, digital audio installation, digital collage, digital painting and digital video clips. Each entry will be evaluated on its own merit with respect to inclusion in the final digital installation.

At least 10 digital images will be chosen for printing and inclusion in an exhibition which will be part of the installation. All other digital materials will be utilized and included in a digital projection project as part of an artist residency and ultimately included in the final installation. The installation will be presented to the public in Lübzow, Germany on October 2, 2011 with the entire installation then being presented in a Berlin gallery beginning on October 15, 2011.

Artists are welcomed to travel to Germany for the opening event and may also be interested in participating in installing the installation during the week leading up to the vernissage on October 2nd. One artist will additionally be chosen to compile the digitalized material into the final installation. Applications for this residency are separate from the submission of artwork for inclusion in the installation. Any artist wishing to take part in installing the show can inquire about the availability and terms of accommodations for this project.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Digital photography, digital audio installation, digital collage, digital painting, and digital video clips.

DEADLINE: August 31, 2011

NOTIFICATION: September 15, 2011

ENTRY FEE: After completion of the online application each artist is required to submit the non-refundable application fee of €25.00 (approximately $35 USD) via PayPal (due to security reasons only PayPal payments will be accepted). No entries will be reviewed prior to receipt of the application fee.

SALES: 15% commission

CALL for ENTRIES: A Sense of Place

Posted on May 11, 2011May 11, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

NUTS for YOU!

I believe that food has a sense of place. When you eat cotton candy, don’t you think of going to the fair? When I taste boiled peanuts (Yes, Virginia, they do exist), I am instantly transported to South Carolina. You have associations of your own, no doubt. This Call is named Sense of Place, but it isn’t a theme. Maybe it comes from the enormous sense of place felt even through photographs of this beautiful gallery space. Inspired yet?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art in Augusta, GA for the 2011 National Juried Exhbition: A Sense of Place. The entry fee is low, and once again, the juror is well-documented and happens to be a printmaker, although many media are embraced. This looks like a winner…
