CALL for ENTRIES: Minimal

Posted on September 21, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

LESS IS
more

Food quality is often the key to good food. I had lunch with a friend a couple of weeks ago, and she ordered an egg salad sandwich. She raved about how it was the best egg salad ever. A few days later I was having lunch at the same restaurant, and I asked Chef Sam what was in the egg salad. His answer? Eggs, mayo, salt & pepper. Some things just don’t need to be complicated. This next Call is all about minimalism in art, not food. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Hit the Road

Posted on September 20, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

WHY DID the CHICKEN
cross the road?

The best part of hitting the open road is, of course, the FOOD. My practice is to spend a little time surveying the locals of where we are about the best place to eat. Inevitably, I get a significant number of people that refer me to the same place. And it always ends up being “the best breakfast” or “the best burger” in town. Getting eggs right isn’t easy, folks, and I always appreciate a good reference. This next Call is all about hitting the road. Investigate for yourself…

Check out this Call to Artists for Hit the Road from the Linus Galleries (California). 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…

DECIDE
already

I detest large menus. I can usually make a pretty quick decision, but I married the most indecisive man on the planet. Large menus mean that I am going to have wait even longer to eat. Sometime being able to have anything you want isn’t really what you want. This next Call is completely open, and for some of you it will be a hard choice. Good luck…

Check out the Call for Entries from the Light, Space & Time Gallery for their online Open competition.

CALL for ENTRIES: Global Mail Art

Posted on September 18, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CALL ME
a chicken

I am obsessed with food because I love the TASTE of food. I am not into eating foods for the sake of saying that I have eaten them. Century eggs are a perfect example. I cannot think of a reason to eat a 100-year-old egg that has been preserved in clay, ash and lime. Telling me that the yolk has the smell of sulfur and ammonia does not make me any more likely to want to eat it. Someone else already has a job eating Bizarre Foods, so I’ll pass. This next Call is a much better way to celebrate 100 years. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from LULA Lake Worth Arts for the Global Mail Art Exhibition in celebration of Lake Worth Florida’s Centennial Celebration. This is an all-hung show that might help some of you pad your resumes. Plus, mail art is fun. I love to see what I can get the US Postal system to take….

Global Mail Art

Calligraphers and artists are invited to participate in LULA’s Global Mail Art Exhibition: Lake Worth 100. Mail art is the most democratic form of art.

Decorated envelopes are one-of-a-kind artworks with the handwritten address becoming part of the work. Please join LULA and send a decorated envelope as we celebrate Lake Worth’s Centennial.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Mail art. Please use hand-executed lettering to address your envelope. You may use paint, ink, colored pencil, rubber stamps, or other standard media for illustrations on your envelope.

DEADLINE: November 15, 2013 (This is not a typo, folks. The deadline is over a year away!)

NOTIFICATION: Sign your envelope in the bottom right hand corner on back and include your email address and they will notify you of it’s arrival.

ENTRY FEE: None

JURY: None (all hung)

AWARDS: All mail art will be exhibited throughout Downtown Lake Worth during the Centennial year and linked to the Lake Worth Centennial web site, the City of Lake Worth web site, and can be viewed on the LULA’s Global Mail Art Exhibition: Lake Worth 100 Facebook page. In addition, daily arrivals will be posted on their blog.

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstract is Real

Posted on September 17, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ABSTRACTLY
tasting

I find deconstructed food fascinating. I love to see a chef’s abstract interpretation of a classic like Caesar Salad or Boston Clam Chowder. I NEVER expect it to actually taste like the classic dish, but I have never been disappointed. Really. It is truly art on a plate. This next Call is all about the Abstract. Intrigued?

Check out this Call for Entries from EWNS Art Project (France) for the Abstract is Real exhibit. Selection for this show gets you into an online gallery, AND pre-selects you the Paris gallery exhibition in 2012/2014. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Szpilman Award

Posted on September 16, 2012September 16, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ROCK or ROLL
foods

Some foods are fleeting. I love it when foods are only available for a couple of weeks. It is a snooze-and-you-lose kind of situation. Romanesco broccoli is a great example. It is a fabulously alien looking vegetable, and the season isn’t all that short, but it is rarely found for more than a couple of weeks at grocers. This next Call is all about the value in the fleeting. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Szpilman Award from Szpilman (a group of artists, based in Berlin and Frankfurt, Germany) given to ephemeral works. There is no entry fee, but the postmark deadline is just around the corner. Don’t miss this opportunity!

CALL for ENTRIES: Arte Laguna

Posted on September 15, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

NIGHT CAP

Dessert wines are one of my many guilty pleasures. Biscotti is not just for dipping into your espresso. I’ll take a lovely glass of vin santo with the lingering taste of honey and apricots with a touch of cream. Keep your coffee or espresso (which traditionally comes before vin santo BTW). If you end up at the opening of the collective exhibit for this next Call, have a glass for me. Better yet, bring me a bottle of vin santo back as a souvenir…it beats a t-shirt anytime!

Check out this Call for Entries for the 7th Annual International Arte Laguna Prize for Video or Performance. I won’t try to disguise it…this exhibit/prize is an expensive endeavor, but the prizes and opportunities to exhibit and/or perform in Italy are well worth the risk for some of you. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Storybook Fragments

Posted on September 12, 2012September 12, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

MORE GREENS
and beans

Children are picky eaters. No matter how many green beans you feed them as toddlers, the chances are good that they will go through a chicken fingers & fries stage. We all assume it is because their taste buds haven’t evolved. But research indicates that a child’s taste buds are MORE sensitive than adults. My kid will eat brussel sprouts now. The war has been won, or the taste buds have dulled. Who knows? This next call is all about the child’s perspective. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Storybook Fragments from Naming Ceremony online showcase. This is a really inexpensive ($20 for 6 images), and the links back to your website could be valuable. Don’t miss the possible art publication opportunity either…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Storybook Fragments

For this exhibition, Naming Ceremony is looking for art for children that seems to be part of a larger narrative. They want art the invites a young child’s imagination to expand the narrative beyond what they see in the picture, to get them thinking about what the meanings are “between the lines” and allow them to grow from the experience. Send in your best interpretation of this initiative while making sure it is child-friendly.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All two-dimensional media will be considered

DEADLINE: November 30, 2012

ENTRY FEE: $20 for six (6) entries, $5 for each additional entry

AWARDS: Your piece will be permanently represented in their online gallery (with a chance to sell it).

Your piece will appear in their periodic Magazine issue which will be published both online and in print. The print version will be available for ordering online, world-wide so you can direct followers, fans, friends and family to your published works.

You will be eligible for the publication of an art book that will be available worldwide online for ordering.

*Not all artists will be accepted for the online gallery and magazine. Not all of those accepted artists will be in the published, physical art book.

CALL for ENTRIES: Collectors Choice

Posted on September 11, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

TWO, FOUR, SIX
and ATE

I collect food-specific dishes. Weird, I know. I have ceramic turtles for wasabi, three-legged lava rock bowls for salsa, futuristic pods for olives, individual berry bowls, and there will be more. (Maybe these egg cups). Always the proper tool for the job, you could say. This next Call is really ALL about the collectors. See if this one is right for you…

Here’s an interesting Call for Entries from the Sylvia White Gallery in Ventura, California for the 2013 Collectors’ Choice. I am intrigued, this is a great opportunity for a few of you, but the challenge is in figuring out if YOUR work is something this anonymous group of collectors want. Investigate for your self…

CALL for ENTRIES:
2013 Collectors’ Choice

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists 18+

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

DEADLINE: November 15, 2012 at 11:00 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST) / Midnight, Mountain Standard Time (MST)

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 2013 Collector’s Choice January 2-February 9, at Sylvia White Gallery.

SALES: Unless otherwise specified, accepted works will be considered for sale at the price indicated and 30% commission will be retained by The Sylvia White Gallery.

CALL for ENTRIES: Shadows

Posted on September 10, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

OUCH! OUCH!
OUCH!

I dislike overhead lighting, except in the kitchen. Much of my home is dimly lit; I prefer soft lamp lighting. But, my art studio and my kitchen are the exceptions. I’ve injured myself with everything from an Xacto knife to myriad of small and large chef knives. Lessons learned. Shadows are not the best place to create fine art or fine food. This next Call wants you to expose your shadows. Whatcha think?

Check out this Call to Artists for Shadows from the Linus Galleries (California). 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…
