CALL FOR ENTRIES: Diversity Portraits

Posted on March 21, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

As artists, we walk often walk the line between creating a commercial niche for ourselves (so that we can eat) and doing the work the work we love (so we can sleep).

Portraiture is often a tough sit-down menu to sell to the average fast food consumer, but there are artists that do it so well…even the pickiest amongst us can’t resist. Here is an opportunity for the artist that just can’t resist a beautifully rendered portrait.

Still Point Art Gallery invites submissions for its upcoming online exhibition: American Portraits: Diversity in Our Land.

Great achievements are not born from a single vision but from the combination of many distinctive viewpoints. Diversity challenges assumptions, opens minds, and unlocks our potential to solve any problems we may face. –Unknown

This exhibition will celebrate diversity in America through the genre of portraiture. Artists are encouraged to think about diversity in America in its broadest sense – ethnicity, race, age, class, religion, and gender…also occupation, national or regional origin, hobbies and interests, regional customs and lifestyles, and more…much more.

To add to the celebratory nature of this exhibition, the Gallery is looking into a variety of opportunities that will put this show before the public. In other words, the Gallery is looking into ways to turn this show into public art. To begin with, the Gallery will assist artists whose work is accepted for the exhibition in getting their work displayed in their local libraries, city or town office buildings, or community centers as part of what could be a national public art exhibition. Other opportunities will be posted as they become finalized. We welcome ideas for making this exhibition a public art exhibition.

Dates and Deadlines

February 21, 2010 – Submissions Open

April 19, 2010 – Submissions Close (Deadline)

May 3, 2010 – Notification of Selection

May 5 through August 10, 2010 – Exhibition (Online)

After closing as a featured exhibition on August 10, 2010, American Portraits will remain online through August 10, 2011.

Eligibility

Open to artists 18 years of age or older from around the world who submit portraiture in any medium except video and wearable art. Submissions must be the creation of the artist. Reproductions of original artwork are not accepted.

Images

Artists may choose one of three ways to submit images: (1) artists may upload images using their online form; (2) artists may send images by email [very quick and easy and you can still pay online]; or (3) artists may send images on a CD. Slides and prints will not be accepted.

Whatever way you choose, images should be saved in jpg format and resized to 72 dpi, less than 1.5 MB, with the maximum dimension of the image being no more (and not much less) than 1000 pixels. Failing to resize your image will result in problems with uploading. The file name of your image should follow this convention – last name, title of work (perhaps abbreviated), and number (matching entry form number) [for example, SMITH_SUNNYDAY_3.jpg].

Do not include stray characters such as # or * in your file name. Doing so will prevent your file from uploading properly. If you choose to email images, please send them to director@stillpointartgallery.com.

If you choose to send your images on a CD, please mail to Still Point Art Gallery, 193 Hillside Road, Brunswick, Maine 04011. CDs will not be returned. Once the submission deadline has passed, no image substitutions may be made.

Please Note: If you use Safari on a Mac platform, their online form will NOT work to upload your images. If you use a Mac, please use Firefox to upload your images.

Artists are asked to complete an entry form and submit a non-refundable fee of $25 for up to 3 images. Additional images may be submitted for a fee of $5 each, up to a maximum of 8 images at $50. ($25 for 3 images plus $25 for an additional 5 images to reach the maximum of 8 images at $50) If you complete the entry form and submit your images online, payment may be made online by PayPal immediately following submission of images. If you submit images by email, you should include the following information about each image in the message: title, medium, dimensions, framed/unframed, and price. Please also include your name, address, and home or cell number.

Payment may be made by requesting a PayPal invoice or by check or money order. If you submit images on CD, please include the entry form.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Printmaking

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

I want you to know that I am listening.

By examining the statistics for Art & Art Deadlines.com (AAAD), I have realized that you don’t seem to care for long lists of deadlines broken up by month. Guess what? I don’t like posting them either.

Instead, the hits on this site seem to indicate that you like being able to search by deadline month and year, but you prefer being given a show or two at a time.

I am excited about this revelation. I love being able to offer you shows as I trip across them instead of huge lists. The result–you’ll get more posts, and I feel less pressure. Wonderful!

Here is a great opportunity for female artists from the Woman Made Gallery in Chicago.

Woman Made Gallery is a tax-exempt, not-for-profit organization founded in 1992. Its goal is to support women in the arts by providing opportunities, awareness and advocacy. It specifically accomplishes this through exhibitions which raise public awareness and recognition of women’s cultural contributions.

From 1992 through 2010 WMG has programmed 163 group shows, 104 invitational/solo shows, 36 Artisan Gallery exhibitions, and eight off-site shows. More than 6500 women artists have exhibited their work since WMG was established.

You know how I love a theme, and WMG always provides one. This call has a looming deadline, but you can enter online making it much more convenient for all those procrastinators out there. Here’s the call, in brief. Follow the link for the prospectus.

ARTIST OPPORTUNITY: Norwegian Competition

Posted on January 26, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

Sometimes I get to a post via a bizarre and random thought process, but that process can often be just the recipe for a great post.

Today, I was thinking about food–shocking, I know.

I was wondering what to have for dinner and thought salmon sounded good. Salmon makes me think of Norway. Norway sparked the memory of having seen a Call or Announcement or Email of some sort with Norway in the subject line.

And so I rummaged through the files until voila…I think salmon…you get a Competition for the Stavanger Region’s New Concert Hall (in Norway). Enjoy! And don’t forget to drop me a line if you decide to participate in the competition…looks like a great opportunity for a large scale installation!

Solo artists and collaborating groups are invited to take part in this international pre-qualifying round for a lighting project in the New Concert Hall in Stavanger, to be completed in 2012. Please note the postmark deadline is March 6, 2010.

Stavanger New Concert Hall will be of a high international standard, and be centrally situated, close to other cultural institutions and two new music schools in the Bjergsted Park area of the city.

The building is specially designed for musical events, but will also accommodate many other kinds of event for large and small audiences both in the two performance halls inside, and immediately outside in the large amphitheatre.

Through this pre-qualification, the Art Committee is seeking candidates to take part in a limited competition for a significant indoor art project, where light is an important premise. The defined space is in the center of the building; in section, starting on the ground floor outside the Multipurpose Hall, it opens up, traversing five floors.

This part of the Concert Hall has large glass facades on two sides and a selection of materials that contribute to erasing the division between exterior and interior spaces. This openness is important: the art work will be visible from far away and therefore represent the Hall, as well as being a significant element in the whole entrance area and amphitheatre.

Inside, the art project should be a distinctive feature and contribute favourably to the visitor’s impression upon entering this large public space. It is here that the public will best experience the interior dimensions of the Concert Hall.

It is also where audiences will congregate as they progress up and down the stairs. A work of art for this location must have a distinctive character and it must function regardless of the prevailing circumstances, including in daytime or in difficult light conditions.

The pre-qualification presentation should be a maximum of ten A4 pages (on paper, not e-mailed or on CD). The submission should include a presentation of art projects, a CV and practice and relevant experience. The Art Committee also wants to see, in brief, motivation for entering the competition and reason for interest in the project.

No ideas or sketches for this project are wanted at this stage.

The overall art plan for the New Concert Hall in Stavanger, and more information on the art projects, are available at: www.koro.no/stavangerconcerthall

There is more information on the concert hall at: www.konserthus.no

Please mark the presentation material “FOYER” and send it to:

New Concert Hall in Stavanger IKS
Postboks 8001
4068 Stavanger
Norway

Deadline: To be postmarked on or before 1 March 2010.

ART FELLOWSHIP: Bernheim Arboretum

Posted on January 19, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I have a friend who has been searching for art fellowships and residencies and a way to spur on her progress in a current series and develop a taste for what adventure to next tackle. While searching for those opportunities for her, I keep stumbling across a plethora of fascinating art opportunities.

Do you want to live amongst trees and commune with nature? Boy, do I have the perfect recipe for you…

The Bernheim Arboretum Outdoor Art Fellowship. This fellowship is only offered every other year, and 2010 is a fellowship year. But, the deadline approaches…February 28th.

The Bernheim is a beautiful 14,000-acre property located 25 miles south of Louisville. It encompasses a nationally recognized arboretum and 14,000 acres of natural area protecting diverse plant and animal species. Over fifty miles of hiking trails, outdoor exhibits and other facilities offer abundant recreational and inspirational opportunities, which attracts thousands of visitors each year.

JURYING PROCEDURE

The jurors will select the award recipient based on the quality of the work submitted. Support materials will be considered, but only as a secondary resource. The goal in all of Bernheim’s activities is to help realize its mission of strengthening the bond between people and nature by finding new ways to connect nature with people’s everyday lives.

The Bernheim folks believe that if people recognize and benefit from the many values found in nature, quality of life will be improved, thus they will be motivated to protect the natural world for both its practical and its intrinsic value. To that end, the Bernheim Indoor Art Fellowship is given semi-annually to a talented artist who will work within the Forest and/or Arboretum to create works that are inspired by and installed in the natural world.

The Fellowship provides the artist an opportunity to advance his or her own skills and career while enhancing awareness of Bernheim’s goals regionally, nationally and internationally.

The Fellow recipient is required to live at Bernheim for up to three months while working on his/her project. Bernheim will provide comfortable housing in a beautiful wooded setting, plus a financial grant of up to $2,500.00 to cover travel, and other expenses. Material may be provided or funded depending on the proposed projects. The recipient of the Bernheim Indoor Art Fellowship may be required to donate pieces produced during the Fellowship to Bernheim for its permanent use. These works will become part of the Bernheim Art Collection.

Fellowship recipients will also be asked to interact with the public in some way, which may include participating in workshops and/or lectures. Bernheim will reach an agreement regarding the work to be donated and the interaction required from each artist.

ENTRY PROCEDURE

Visual artists (sculptors, installation artists, environmental artists, etc.) who would like to be considered for this fellowship should send a resume, 10 slides, a slide list, project proposal and an artist’s statement. All slides must be labeled with information that corresponds to the slide list. Each slide must be labeled with the artist’s name, title, medium, size, date, and a red dot to indicate the lower left-hand corner or the work.

The artist’s name should not appear in the work samples. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in the rejection of the application. They now accept submissions in digital format on CD, DVD, or video, however, the name should not appear on the works submitted for consideration.

No original works, or email submissions with attached works will be accepted. The Bernheim will not be responsible for safety of your digital files during shipping, and due to the large volume of submissions, will not be able to return your digital submissions. If you would like your slides returned, please include a self-addressed envelope with proper postage for return.

Submit all materials by certified mail, Federal Express, or UPS Next Day Air, all of which will provide a return receipt.

Address all packages to:
BERNHEIM OUTDOOR ART FELLOWSHIP
P.O. Box 130
Clermont, KY 40110

CALENDAR

Submissions: Nov. 1 to Feb. 28 EACH YEAR
Jury deliberation/selection: March 1 – April 30
Notification: May 15

RETURN OF ENTRIES: Bernheim will take great care when handling your materials, but cannot guarantee or insure these items. Include SASE with proper postage if you would like your slides returned.

ART RESIDENCY: The Wassaic Project

Posted on January 15, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

The holidays are over, and the new year has begun. Some of you are feeling trapped by the confines of your studios due to the weather. I have an idea for those of you that just need to get out of the proverbial kitchen. How about a 4 month residency to recharge your artistic batteries?

Fellowships are available for the full cost of The Wassaic Project, so here is the information, hope it helps get you out of the kitchen…

THE WASSAIC PROJECT ARTIST RESIDENCY
2010 Summer Season
Residency Dates: May 1st – August 31st, 2010

The Wassaic Project Residency Program has been created to cultivate and support community for emerging and professional contemporary artists. Housed in a historic re-purposed livestock auction barn, the Residency Program offers eight artists the opportunity to live and work in the heart of a rural community and offers three local artists studio space.

The Wassaic Project seeks a group of artists working in a diverse range of media who want to produce, explore, challenge, and expand on their current art making practices, while participating in a grass roots, community-based arts organization. In the final month of the residency, artists will either complete an installation or contribute work to be included in The Wassaic Project Summer Festival 2010.

STUDIOS + FACILITIES
Artists will receive an adaptable raw studio space in the historic livestock barn. All studios are roughly 300 square feet. Artists will have 24 hour access to their studio and accommodations which include a private bedroom, shared living room / study, dining room, kitchen, and bath.

Artists also have access to workshop facilities as well as the potential for expansion of workshop space. The residency’s workshop facilities will include a modest wood shop, a large format inkjet print room, and a silkscreen studio. We are working to build other workshop facilities and are open to hearing artist’s suggestions.

PROGRAMMING
Participating artists will work intensively to develop, explore, and expand on their practice, meet new peers, and have the opportunity to participate in all of 2010 Summer Programming.

Artists are required to participate in a monthly evening of conversation which will consist of artist’s talks, films, performances, and presentations in the cattle auction ring, followed by a themed round-counter dinner discussion in the luncheonette. These evenings will coincide with open-studios (also required) as well as optional artist-supported community workshops.

APPLICATION

DATES AND DETAILS
Artists must submit their digital application by February 1st, 2010 11:59pm.

The residency includes a studio, accommodation, access to workshop facilities, and all of The Wassaic Project 2010 events. In the final month of the residency, artists will either complete an installation or contribute work to be included in The Wassaic Project Summer Festival 2010. The residency fee is a flat rate of $800 per month per resident.

Local artists who do not need living accommodations are encouraged to apply for studio-only residencies. The fee for a studio-only residency is $400 per month.

Fellowships are available and will be awarded based on demonstrated need as well as the strength of the proposal. Fellowship amounts range from $100/month to full cost.

To apply for a fellowship check the “apply for fellowship” box, and provide a short statement detailing your financial need. Artists receiving fellowships will be expected to donate between 3 – 10 hours of their time per week working for The Wassaic Project, depending on the amount of their fellowship.

Collaborative teams (willing to share a bedroom and studio) may share the cost of enrollment, however, must pay an additional impact fee of $100 per month. Residents are welcome to bring partners to The Wassaic Project Residency but must also pay the additional monthly impact fee. Pets are negotiable and will require an additional fee.

They are open to proposals for one to three month residencies, but we will give priority to four month applicants. Please include your month preferences in your application statement.

ART DEADLINES: January 2010

Posted on January 13, 2010January 14, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

It has taken me quite a while to sift through the January 2010 deadlines. Apparently the word got out that artists were bored in the winter because there are shows everywhere.

So, why so few here at Art & Art Deadlines.com? Most of the shows struck me as simply ways for someone to take cash out of your pocket and food out of your mouth…junk food…empty calories. Hmph.

Here are a handful of shows that I felt pretty good about. In fact, I think I may have to submit to the “Kiss Me” – Art Inspired by Gustav Klimt from Pop Revolution Gallery in Mason, Ohio. Which one are you entering?

Remember, like with food–all things in moderation and quality before quantity. Snack wisely.
