I am a big fan of the color RED. I wear red clothing. I own a red Jeep. I eat red foods. My husband and I sing together as the Pea Pickin’ Hearts, and we sing a song called “I See Red” about throwing away the rose-colored glasses in exchange for the red-eyed passion of life–good or bad.

CALL for ENTRIES: I Am Solitary…Again

Posted on September 24, 2010November 15, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

COOK ALREADY!

I write a lot about the recipe for success, about using the best ingredients, about never over-cooking. I don’t like to talk about the burnt bread of it all. But the truth is that even when you follow the recipe, sometimes the souflee just doesn’t rise. You can’t take it personally; you just have to get back in the kitchen.

I entered the original Beers Lambert I Am Solitary call posted on this site…and my souflee didn’t rise. However, I am going back to the kitchen, and I invite you to do the same. Check out this Call for Entries for I Am Solitary – London that is a counterpart to the original. Join me in applying for what promises to be a phenomenal show at the Gift gallery.

Call for Submissions:
I Am Solitary – London

Beers.Lambert Contemporary Art is proud to curate an exhibition for Gift Gallery, at its extraordinary location on London’s primary gallery row, Vyner Street.

I Am Solitary – London, is a counterpart and extension of the related Beers Lambert exhibition that took place in Nottingham, in September of 2010.

This collaboration with Gift Gallery seeks progressive contemporary art that responds to questions of identity and individuality.

The exhibition aims to highlight ideas and articulations relating to a conceptual and aesthetic understanding of individuality, isolation, and identity in a world typified by conflict, disillusionment, and change.

The work submitted should critically & aesthetically challenge the reception of these themes & truly push the direction of contemporary art.*

*For those of my readers that like to skim the posts, please note that I put this sentence in bold…green…AND centered it for you…hint, hint.

Submission Deadline:
Sunday, November 14, 2010

Eligibility & Media: Artists at all career stages, from all parts of the world, working in all mediums and practices are encouraged to submit.

Vyner street haslong been the benchmark of excellence in London’s contemporary art sphere; prominently located at 10 Vyner, Gift gallery continues this tradiiton of featuring emergent and progressive contemporary art.

Beers Lambert is proud to work with Gift to present I Am Solitary – London.

CALL for ENTRIES: Wearable Art & Jewelry

Posted on September 23, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

A GOOD EGG

We all know that I love food, but it occured to me that I don’t mention that I love cooks and chefs often enough. There is little better in this world than a well crafted Eggs Benedict. And, while the eggs are best when farm fresh, hollandaise in the wrong hands is just BAD regardless of how fresh the eggs are. I feel much the same about craft artisans.

A scarf isn’t always just a scarf…ask Pat K. Thomas. And certainly, jewelry isn’t always just jewelry…ask Vanessa Walilko. It is art, and I salute the craft artisans that turn raw materials into the phenomenal. Check out this great Call for Entries for the 17th Annual RAGS Juried Wearable Art Show. And remember, buying wearable art supports and artist…and makes you look fabulous!

BETTER WITH TIME

I don’t like aging. I just don’t. I have heard lots of people say that things get better with age. And, while I will grant you that stinky cheese is always better with age (and I love stinky cheese by the way), I am still not seeing the bright side of getting older. Don’t send the emails…they won’t work.

I love new galleries and new galleries with fresh ideas. But, there is a great deal to be said for folks that have been there and done that–who know how to curate, jury and hang a show from years of experience.

GREEN ART: Yosemite Renaissance

Posted on September 14, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

CHARTREUSE ANYONE?

Is your family green or eco-friendly? My family has made progress toward going the eco-friendly green revolution in baby steps over the past few years with a little help from our friends over at Toni’s Treehouse. However, I’ll admit that it never occurred to me that my art could offer a greater opportunity to contribute to environmental awareness. Just don’t ask me to drink the juice, ugh.

Check out the Call for Entries for the 26th Annual Yosemite Renaissance Exhibit. You can enter one piece for as little as $15 and help create an ongoing desire for the environmental protection of Yosemite National Park in new generations with your unique interpretation of the park. It’s good to be green…

CALL for ENTRIES: Yosemite Renaissance XXVI

Yosemite Renaissance is an annual competition/exhibition which is intended to encourage diverse artistic interpretations of Yosemite.

Its goals are to bring together the works of serious contemporary artists that do not simply duplicate traditional representations; to establish a continuum with past generations of Yosemite artists; and to help re-establish visual art as a major interpretive medium of the landscape and a stimulus to the protection of the environment.

Historically, the arts have played a very important role in the establishment of our State and National Parks. It is the hope of Yosemite Renaissance that they can be just as important in future efforts to preserve and protect that heritage.

ELIGIBILITY: The Yosemite Renaissance XXVI competition is open to all living artists. Subject matter is limited to recent works on the landscape, environment, wildlife and people of Yosemite or the environment of the Sierra. Both representational and non-representational submissions are accepted.

MEDIA: Original artwork may be in any medium. Size is limited to works that can be shipped in containers not exceeding maximum U.P.S. dimensions of 130 inches, length and girth combined. Triptychs or other multi-image pieces (exhibited under one title) should not exceed 48 x 48.”

LIMITS: Each artist is limited to eight entries. No more than two entries from any artist will be included in the exhibit.

DEADLINE: November 13, 2010

SELECTION & AWARD PROCEDURES: Artists must submit one digital file for each artwork entered. Up to three digital files may be submitted for each three-dimensional piece. Please do not submit slides.

1. Preliminary and final selection for inclusion in the exhibit will be made by the jurors from the digital files. Between 35 and 50 pieces will be selected for the exhibition.

2. Artists whose works are selected from the digital files will ship their original works for the exhibition at the Yosemite Museum Gallery. (If the originals differ significantly in appearance from the digital files which were submitted they may be disqualified.)

3. From the original works the independent jurors will select award-winners to be announced on the night of the opening reception, Friday, February 25, 2011.

AWARDS: At least $4,000 in cash awards will be distributed at the discretion of the judges. Purchase awards may be given as well.

A special award of $300 will be given to the best piece inspired by Hetch Hetchy (pictured below) that the jurors select to be included in the exhibit.

JURORS: The Board of Directors of Yosemite Renaissance (consisting of artists, curators and administrators) will make the initial selection of works for the exhibition. Cash award-winners will be selected by independent judges to be announced.

ENTRY FEE: There is a non-refundable entry/handling fee of $15.00 for each entry. Payment must accompany your entry submissions. Your check or money order should be made payable (only in U.S. dollars) to Yosemite Renaissance, Inc.
