CALL for ENTRIES: It Gets Better

Posted on January 13, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

It Gets Better

I don’t understand hate. There is no food reference today because I cannot find a way to incorporate humor into this issue.

Please take advantage of the Call for Entries from the 13 Forest Gallery to take a stand against hate and help let someone out there know that It Gets Better. The deadline is January 19th, but you can email entries…so don’t delay.

CALL for ENTRIES: It Gets Better/Make It Better

Social change starts with the individual. One gay teenager jumps off a bridge and thousands are motivated to share their coming-out stories.

One person can also serve as a positive symbol to effect social change. A woman keeps her seat on the bus and a social revolution is born.

By working to better the world, you actually make things better for yourself. Studies of collective action have shown that when people identify with a particular cause, and work towards social change, the change often occurs within—people feel legitimized. Empowerment is not necessarily even reliant on the movement’s success: victory occurs in the very struggle of self-expression and self-empowerment.

Entries for It Gets Better/Make It Better should explore this theme of how the individual exists within and can affect the community. One is many.

ELIGIBILTIY: Artists 18 yrs old or older from all of the United States, figurative or abstract two-dimensional art.

DEADLINE: January 19, 2011

ENTRY FEE: $15 per application

VENUE: 13FOREST Gallery, 167A Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington, MA 02474

JUROR: Paula Tognarelli, Executive Director, Griffin Museum

COMMISSION: 45% to artist, 10% to benefit P-FLAG: Parents, Families, & Friends of Lesbians and Gays

INSPECT my GADGET

When is the last time you went to a cooking demonstration? I love the sort of public bravado that comes with a demonstration meant to sell pots ‘n’ pans or cutlery. And infomercials are just the best. If I didn’t have a day job, I would be broke from all the gadgets I could buy like sandwich makers, dehydrators, juicers, blenders, choppers and baking pans. I am in love with the NyFork (left). This next Call gives you a public outlet to display your work with the need for fancy knife skills or clever alliteration.

CALL for ENTRIES: About Face

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

FISHY FACE

I have more than one friend that won’t eat food with a face… which should make her a vegetarian on moral grounds, right? Well, while out to lunch with one of them many years ago, my friend ordered fish. I promptly reminded her that she didn’t eat food with faces and that fish definitely have faces. She looked at me as seriously as possible and said, “I’ve looked into a fish’s eyes. They have no story to tell. There’s nothing going on up there. Bring on the tuna.” This next Call will require that your face tell a story.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Annmarie Sculpture Garden (an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institute) for About Face. The entry fee is only $20 for up to four pieces, and this is an excellent opportunity to put your best face forward. Take a look!

CALL for ENTRIES: About Face

About Face explores the artist as storyteller. How does an artist develop and arrange the elements of a good story—character, setting, plot, conflict, climax, and resolution—through the format of a portrait? Though we all have a story to tell, what is gained or lost when we are rendered through an artist’s point of view? Do the completed works represent the person we are, the person we strive to be, or the character the artist sees? How do traditional and new media types affect the impact of a portrait? To this end, the jury seeks portraits that tell a compelling story in a visually interesting way.

About Face will be installed in the spacious Mezzanine Gallery of Annmarie Sculpture Garden’s Arts Building. With over 3300 sq ft of exhibition space, moveable walls, high ceilings, tile floors, an Arakawa hanging system, Internet access, and electricity, the Mezzanine Gallery can accommodate all sizes and types of installations. A few outdoor works will also be considered for inclusion in About Face.

ELIGIBILITY: All media types are welcome. The exhibition is open to all artists age 18 and older working in the U.S. Video entries must be submitted on DVD, playable on QuickTime or RealPlayer, and no more than 30 minutes in length.
DVD or computer based works must be exhibited on equipment provided by artist. Internet access is available. Bases and pedestals must well-balanced and sturdy. Annmarie has a limited number of bases available, please inquire. All frames must be black or silver and simple in design. All works that will be hung on the wall must have brackets that work with the Arakawa hanging system. More information on this system will be provided upon acceptance.

DEADLINE: March 1, 2011 is the deadline for your application.

NOTIFICATION: Artists will be notified of final acceptance status via email by March 7, 2011.

ENTRY FEE: Artists must submit a $20 non-refundable entry fee for up to four entries. Entry fee must be paid by check, money order, or credit card. Each entry must be submitted with three images of the artwork, including one overall view of the artwork, one detail shot, and one installation shot.

ABOUT the ANNMARIE SCULPTURE GARDEN: An affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, Annmarie is a thirty-acre public sculpture garden and arts center located in scenic Solomons, Maryland, on the Chesapeake Bay. The sculpture garden features a walking path which meanders through the forest, past permanent and loaned sculpture, including more than thirty works on loan from the Smithsonian Institution and the National Gallery of Art. The garden also presents a variety of special events, gallery shows, and engaging public art programs. The new Studio School offers creative classes taught by a talented faculty. The award-winning Arts Building, which opened in May ‘08, is a 15,000 sq.ft. museum-grade exhibition space that includes two large galleries, a gift shop, café, and a sunny patio that offers lovely views of the outdoor sculpture.

CALL for ENTRIES: Nature Undisturbed

Posted on January 6, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

I AM A TOMATO HUGGER

I never used to be an activist for the environment. I’m not against all things eco-friendly, I’ve just been too lazy over the years. However, when I moved to the Great Smoky Mountains, that all changed. Nature is in my face here, and I can’t help but be concerned about my effect on the very nature that made me want to live here. So, I buy produce locally–the apple and tomatoes are phenomenal, and I try to reduce, reuse and/or recycle a little bit every day because some things ought not be disturbed. This Call for Entries will help you do a little something to help as well.

CALL for ENTRIES: A True Story

Posted on January 5, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BLESSED PEEPS

Some foods cannot be separated from a holiday or family event. Turkey and Thanksgiving for example… the image of turkey conjures family-friendly Rockwell-esque scenes for me even though Idon’t eat turkey for Thanksgiving. And Peeps® scream Easter to me…always. It doesn’t matter if you dress them in cocoa powder and shape them like bats for Halloween, I am still gonna wonder if you’ve had them left over since Spring. This next Call gives you an opportunity to tell your own story… paint your own scene, if you will. Luckily, you aren’t restricted to food…

Check out this Call for Entries from Vermont Photo Space Gallery called A True Story. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Vermont Photo Space offers free framing & matting on accepted entries!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
A True Story

Photography is the medium of memory. With its birth came the pictorial press and the realization that “a picture tells a thousand words.” This is documentary photography. It is present and tangible, and we rely on it to be authentic and true. It teaches us, and when presented in proper context, we believe what we see.

It is the job of the Photojournalist and Documentary Photographer to present the facts at hand. It is a challenging job often requiring instant decisions and sometimes in the face of substantial obstacles. How do we do this succinctly and objectively while providing an engaging and remarkable image or series?

Is it possible to capture a photographic truth while simultaneously expressing our naturally subjective eye?

Juror Peter Turnley has proven the task can be successful – have you?

For A True Story, VPS is looking for the documented event, person, or place, whether political, religious, cultural or environmental. Reality itself is infinitely more complex that what a single image can show, so we encourage your Photo Essay submissions of up to six images (some single images tell the whole thing adequately – these will be considered equally). As the Photo Essay is so often complimented or even interdependent with text, they will allow up to three sentences to accompany each accepted image for display in the gallery.

Of special note: VPS is able to accept essays for this exhibition! So much of the genre appears as photo story, and they are thrilled to offer the opportunity to exhibitors to submit the same. Whether you are submitting single images or multiples as a story, Juror Peter Turnley will consider your work as it is intended. Who knows, this exhibition may include a few very lucky photographers who present an outstanding documentary photo story in several images.

JUROR: Peter Turnley was educated in French Literature and International Relations, inspiring his truly International work. For the past quarter century, he has been photographing in more than eighty-five countries, capturing world conflict, and several major geo-political moments.

His portraits of political, cultural, and religious leaders as well as photo essays of a variety of social realities additionally weight his extensive, ever-expanding portfolio. He has published five books: “Beijing Spring,” “Moments of Revolution,” “In Times of War and Peace,” “Parisians” and “McClellan Street”. His images have been published in International magazines including Stern, Paris Match, Geo, Life, National Geographic, the London Sunday Times, Le Monde, and Doubletake.

Additionally, Turnley’s photographs have been showcased on the cover of Newsweek magazine over forty times. VPS is thrilled to have his extensive experience as a successful Photojournalist and Documentary Photographer applied to his mission as Juror for “A True Story.”

RIGHTS: Photographers retain all rights to their work, except for submissions accepted for exhibition: artists grant Vermont Photo Space the right to use their images to promote the exhibition and for display on VPS website and for inclusion in an exhibit catalog.

CALL for ENTRIES: Light, Space, Time & the Sea

Posted on January 4, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

DIPLOMACY STINKS

It is a happy, shiny New Year, and I am excited about the possibilities. Per usual, I am optimistic about the future… nauseatingly optimistic, according to my husband Jon. However, most folks will also tell you that my attitude toward life is often like my taste in food…direct, unapologetic and undiplomatic. Can food be unapologetic and undiplomatic? Have you ever met a cheese named Limberger? That sort of straight forwardness is what drew me to this next Call.

My choice in shoes is often as impractical as my choice in foods. I am less inclined to do things that can’t be done in 4″ heels…I know, I know, judge me if you must.

It isn’t snobbery… I am just excerising my right to choose… shoes AND food, amongst a million other choices. Express your support for the right to choose with this next Call.

A handful of you have found out that my family is musical. We sing in the car, in the shower, and in the kitchen, of course. My husband is programmed to sing the last song he heard on TV or radio…over and over until I call it to his attention. My son loves punk versions of holiday favorites.
