CALL for ENTRIES: Wild Things

Posted on January 26, 2014January 26, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

free
SALAD
anyone?

My frugality DOES know boundaries. The one thing I don’t do is public foraging. It isn’t that I am necessarily opposed to eating wild things, like dandelion greens. Actually, I’m all for it, to be honest. But I am fearful of things unknown that might be sprayed ONTO the wild things. I live on the boundary (within a 1/2 mile) of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but since you cannot legally forage in any National Park, that doesn’t really help me find a safe place to forage. I suppose my wild things will be limited to art, for now–like this next Call. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Sweetwater Center for the Arts (Sewickley, PA) for Wild Things, an exhibit of art with unrestrained spirit. What more could you want than a description like that?

CALL for ENTRIES: Library Thoughts 4

MAKE IT AGAIN,
Sam

I still have a recipe box. Yep. When I find a recipe I love or make a masterpiece that warrants an official record, I write it down on an index card and stash it in my recipe box. Why do I feel like I just confessed to some horribly illicit activity? Well, if you still illicitly work with paper in some way, here’s a curated international open Call for works on paper. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Hungarian Multicultural Center (Dallas, TX & Budapest, Hungary) for Library Thoughts 4, a juried exhibit at the Hegyvidek Gallery in Hungary from August 26 – September 06, 2014. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Library Thoughts 4

Johann Gutenberg’s invention of movable type books ignited the explosion of art. These days the printed books that were previously published by publishers now can be read on line as ebooks.

What is the future?

Instead of having to interact with computers through not-so-intuitive and sometimes even counter intuitive devices like a computer mouse or track pad, soon users will be able to control their computers doing natural human movements such as gestures, whole-body movement, eye movement, and perhaps even such things as facial expressions.

Is it the end for books as we know them? Question the survival of paper, books, libraries in this digital age. The process of sending artworks through the mail, with the envelope, the stamp and the postmark as entire part of the mail-art-object make this process to what we call MailArt.

Editor’s Note: Once again, this is only Mail Art in the sense that most of the art will be mailed for the show. Unlike traditional Mail Art shows, any unsold work will be returned in December.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA: Artist books, works on or of paper may be any size, but MUST fit in a 9″ X 12″ (22.9X30.5cm) envelope. Unmated, unframed photography, drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, mixed media, cast or folded paper, multimedia or digital prints.

DEADLINE: March 31, 2014

NOTIFICATION: April 4, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 3

SALES: 30% commission

CALL for ENTRIES: Mail Art/Collage Ukraine

Posted on January 22, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

all to
PIECES

If I had to give my cooking an art style, it would probably be collage. I used to be a purist, a menu maker, a list writer. Somewhere along the way I began the little-bit-of-this-little-bit-of-that method. Dinner is now determined on whichever protein I thought to thaw out and whichever veggies were freshest, in-season and/or on sale. When I try to make a plan, it never fails that whatever I had planned ends up not sounding like what I really want. So, collage dinners are what we do now; it works for us. This next Call is also about collage. I like this one; take a look for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries from Tymutopiyapres (Lviv, Ukraine) for Collage Art. There is no entry fee, and if you’re looking for a brick-and-mortar show to add to your resume, this one is all hung. Take a look…

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

CALL for ENTRIES:
Mail Art/Collage Art

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: “Collage & Assemblage Art (newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or handmade Papers, Other Portions of artwork or texts, photographs and Other Objects found, glued to a Piece of Paper or Canvas).” –from the original call. Size 14.8 X 21 cm (approx. 5.5″x 8.25″)

Editor’s note: This was sent to me under the subject line of “Mail Art”; however, I think this is more-accurately an all-hung collage exhibit, but because the expectation is that the majority of exhibitors will be from outside Ukraine, it is being dubbed a Mail Art show. I couldn’t find anything that indicated a postmark requirement or address requirement.

DEADLINE:
September 10, 2014

NOTIFICATION:
Documentation online

ENTRY FEE: None

JUROR: All-hung exhibit

AWARDS: All works will be exhibited online at http://collage–art.blogspot.com and at Tymutopiyapres, a non-commercial Gallery located in Lviv, Ukraine.

CALL for ENTRIES: 2014 Choice

Posted on January 21, 2014January 26, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

LETTING
go

I am trying to curb my collecting of all things culinary. I moved to a smaller house to purposefully downsize in preparation for building a smaller sustainable green home in which I hope to live the rest of my life. Passing up vintage deviled egg plates and a new pate knife pattern has reminded me that there is a reward to self restraint. One of the rewards…I can afford to collect more art, ha. This next Call is really ALL about the collectors. Here’s hoping they collect YOUR art…

Here’s an interesting Call for Entries from the Sylvia White Gallery (Ventura, CA) for the 2014 Collectors’ Choice. This could be your last chance to show in this space without being one of their represented artists. Investigate for your self…

CALL for ENTRIES:
2014 Collectors’ Choice

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Paintings, mixed media, works on paper, photography, sculpture, installation, digital, video and performance.

DEADLINE: March 1, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $35 (USD) for 3 images, $5 each additional image, maximum 10.

JURORS: Each art collector may select one or more pieces by artists that are not currently represented in their private collection. Collectors’ names will be kept anonymous until the opening reception. Editor’s Note: My assumption is these are collectors that purchase work in the Sylvia White Gallery. Because they are anonymous, the best recommendation I have for research is to spend some time investigate the artists the gallery represents, since in theory, it is their work these collectors are purchasing–at least in part.

AWARDS: Selected artists will participate in 2014 Collector’s Choice exhibit April 23rd to May 24th, 2014 at Sylvia White Gallery.

SALES: Unless otherwise specified, accepted works will be considered for sale at the price indicated and 40% commission will be retained by The Sylvia White Gallery.

CALL for ENTRIES: Fantastic Fibers 2014

BOWL
me over

We eat soup three or more evenings per week in the Winter. I try to work out most mornings and then do a little dinner prep before I sit down to publish the day’s post. Today it is ham and vegetable soup. The secret to most of my soups is the thickener. Cornstarch will work, but I prefer pureed pinto beans. Great source of fiber and silky texture. This next Call is all about the fiber and texture, but not a bowl of soup in sight. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Fantastic Fibers 2014 hosted by the Yeiser Art Center (Paducah, KY), Paducah’s Gateway to the Arts. This is venue is fantastic, and you can enter the show for as little as $12. This is a gem for fiber artists…

2013 ARTIST of the YEAR: Sima Schloss

Posted on January 10, 2014April 24, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

HAPPY NEW food YEAR!

It’s January, and we’re thrilled to be in 2014! I am joyfully looking forward to a new year. 2013 was a year of growth for my family, my art, and for AAAD. There were wonderful food highlights including a renewed interest in baking. And AAAD covered some fantastic opportunities in 2013 and even more fantastic artists. Which leads us to our proud announcement…

Today we name the
2013 Artist of the Year!

•

When AAAD began in 2009, I was determined to cover art deadlines, and more importantly, artists producing really good ART. And, after I chose a few artists, I quickly realized that the Featured Artist program needed structure, or it would never really get done on any sort of regular basis. That is how the Featured Artist Contest was born. (The Featured Artist program was retired in 2015 and replaced with the Artist of the Day program.)

The Featured Artist Page was getting crowded and each post was lessening the impact. I began archiving artists yearly, and the Artist of the Year was born.

I now give all of our Featured Artists each year notice that at the end of the year, the Artist of the Year will be determined by the number of comments on their individual Featured Artist blog posts.

Congratulations to Sima Schloss,
AAAD’s 2013 Artist of the Year

I followed up with Sima to find out what’s new: “Yay!! Thanks so much- Im so honored to be the winner!!! Whats going on now with my work now? Lets seeI am one of the winners of ArtAscent Magazine’s Dark Issue (December, 2013) ArtAscent.com, and my work ‘New Sheriff’ is featured on the cover!!! I have a group show in the works coming this Spring (details in the near future), and a collaboration in the works as well. I’m also in process of revamping my website!”

And new foods? Are there any new tasty morsels inspiring you? “I had the most incredible Brussels sprouts at my friends place the other night! I think I’ve only tried them a couple of times in my life, but these were outstanding. They were cooked in garlic & oil and had some incredible seasoning--I was in heaven! I’ve also really been into red and yellow peppers as well, they are so great with labneh (an incredible lebanese dip) hummus or guacamole.” Editor’s note: I’ve rediscovered the mini sweet peppers in my produce aisle. They have a milder flavor and crisper texture and ROCK stirfry dishes.

I have enjoyed getting to know you, Sima. I am inspired by your work. It is an expression of freedom, limitless potential and self awareness. I LOVE the work, and I’ve enjoyed forging a slow and easy friendship. YOU were my reward for choosing to feature your WORK. Thank you, Sima, for being a highlight of the AAAD year! Get to know Sima Schloss yourself.

*Editor’s Note: Sima remains one of my favorite people, and her work has grown and developed, surpassing anything I could have imagined. She was featured again in 2017 as an Artist of the Day!

CALL for ENTRIES: The Natural World

Posted on January 6, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

hold the
ARTIFICIAL
please

My tolerance for plastic-y foods is diminishing right along with the availability of beautiful greens in winter. Just when it would be helpful to be a fan of processed foods, I find them less tolerable than ever. I’m even growing intolerant of frozen vegetables. Unless I want to live on spinach and kale, I’m going to have to find a solution. In the meantime, this next Call isn’t tolerating the plastic either; it is all about the natural world. Take a look…

pat my
BURGER
not my buns

There is something special about hand crafted food. I will never understand how an upscale restaurant can charge $15 for a pre-formed frozen burger. Really? For $15, can’t you hand-form my burger? I think so. This next Call results in a hand-crafted final result, of sorts. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Incandescent (printed zine) for Issue Six. I want to challenge all of the digital photographers out there that have never used film to give this Call a shot. Try color film. You can do it…

CALL for ENTRIES: Sustainable WEST

Posted on December 30, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

GREEN
is more than
GREENS

Truly living green in the kitchen is a touch complicated. Yes, I can buy locally sourced, sustainable foods. But, as we work toward designing a kitchen for the straw bale house we plan to build this year, do I really have it in me to skip out on a traditional stove/oven for a wood-burning or rocket stove/oven? Not so sure. But while I’m contemplating it, I can at least submit sustainably-themed work for this next Call. How about you?

Check out this Call for Entries from Sustainable Silicon Valley for the WEST (Water, Energy, Smart Technology) Summit 2014 (Mountain View, CA). There is no entry fee, so don’t miss this opportunity…
