CALL for ENTRIES: Art in the Garden

THERE A VEGGIE
everywhere a veggie

I am running out of time to find a place to plant a garden. When I moved to a smaller home while we searched for a new home or property to build on, I knew I wouldn’t be able to plant here. So, I may have to resort to a window garden and a few containers this year. I could live with mostly herbs and lettuce as long a my husband could coax tomatoes out of the containers. Tomatoes hate me; don’t ask. Vegetables are my interpretation of a garden. This next Call wants your interpretation of a garden. Don’t dismiss this one without investigating…

Check out this Call for Entries from Artcenter Traverse City and the Botanic Garden at the Historic Barns Park (Michigan) for Art in the Garden. A traditional garden theme, but open media & liberal interpretation. This could be an interesting challenge…

CALL for ENTRIES: Sense of Place 2014

Posted on March 19, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

FRIENDLY FRUIT
in a small world

Grocery shopping is often a small world experience for me. I’ll be thinking of having teriyaki wings, and my husband will come home with the chicken. Or, I’ll be dreaming of pineapple-infused rice for my salmon, and my stop at the grocery store with produce a beautifully ripe pineapple that just happens to be on sale. I’m just lucky that way, I suppose. Just the other day, I was thinking of a couple of pieces I saw in someone’s personal art collection, and what do you know–the juror pops up in this call. It’s a small world…

Wouldn’t consumption without worry be lovely? I have problems with portion control. I could eat POUNDS of goat cheese, DOZENS of cookies, and GALLONS of ice cream. But, no matter how well-made or healthy the food, enough is enough sometimes. Art can be the same way; you have to know when to stop. This next Call encourages more & more media.

SUNNY SIDE UP
hold the salsa

Don’t throw tomatoes. I never search my own blog history before I write these segues. So unknown to me, I might be contradicting/repeating myself, but I am always being sincere–I swear. Having said that, I remember having written about this topic many times. That’s right, it is time for what-would-I-be-if-I-were-food. This week, I’m thinking I would be an egg. Really. They are ultimate in adaptive foods. They are in everything from cookies to lasagna. My family OF THREE now eats approximately 3 dozen a week. Really. This episode of what-would-I-be-if-I-were-food was brought to you be this self-portrait Call–the ultimate what-would-I-be-if-I-had-only-one-shot-to-show-the-world experience. Enough hyphens; I digress…

Check out this Call for Entries from the ENMU Runnels Gallery for Me, Myself & I, a self-portrait show. No entry fee, and this is a great institution. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Me, Myself & I, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and should be considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Me, Myself & I

Social, cultural, political, gender, age and sexual orientation are part of our identities as individuals. Each of these elements play a part in how we identify within various constructs such as family, workforce, community and greater society.

The aim of this exhibition is to feature self-portraits that best depict our own individual identity and the ability to be a camellia of uniqueness or to fit within the statuesque.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Must be 8” x 10”. No landscapes orientations accepted. B&W or color photography, digital photography or illustrations, and photos or scanned replications of drawings, paintings or sculptures. Self-portraits will not be returned; do not submit original prints/artwork.

DEADLINE:
May 1, 2014

NOTIFICATION: “All artists will be featured. Artists are welcome to submit as many self-portraits as they wish; however, the gallery can only guarantee a minimum of six photos per artist will be displayed. If space permits, more photos will be used from each submitting artist.” — quoted from from the Me, Myself & I prospectus

ENTRY FEE: No fee to enter

SALES: Artwork will not be sold. (or returned)

Editor’s Note: According the prospectus, this is a National Juried exhibit; however, it also claims to be open to ANY artist, and no juror is listed. The quote above indicates it is a form of all-hung show. So, my guess is it is only juried for awards. However, the awards are not defined in the prospectus either. Normally I wouldn’t publish a Call without getting all of these questions answered…but I HAVE shown at this gallery myself and it was a FANTASTIC experience. If you’re looking for a line on your resume, this is a great academic gallery with an historically great curatorial vision.

how to get rid of
CRABS

Seafood usually conjures the image of a beach-front town for most, but I always think of Savannah, Georgia. I’m not crazy about sand, so I’d spend my lunchtime at the River House over a bowl of lobster & crab bisque over a sandy crab boil at the beach any day. Going to the opening of this next Call would be the perfect excuse to put away some seafood. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Non-Fiction Gallery (Savannah, GA) for RE: Tale. Only $20 to enter, great juror & gallery, AND the theme leaves lots of room for interpretation…

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

CALL for ENTRIES:
RE: Tale

Everybody has a story to tell. We are constantly creating tales in our heads. They might be our own doing, they might be partially vicarious or perhaps completely borrowed. These accounts often get restructured and retold, evolving each time. This is not unlike contemporary art, which by nature constantly strives for reinterpretation.

Fitting the concept of something that is partially untrue in a gallery called “Non-Fiction” seems to be ill-fitting. However, borrowing from the gallery’s vision statement, everybody’s tales, whether personal or fictitious, “inspire life-changing dialogue.” After all, Aesop never needed a true story to communicate his vision.

In today’s contemporary art scene, artists have deconstructed the idea of a story to fit their medium and surface preferences. This juried exhibition strives to showcase the breadth of interpretations of the concept of “visual storytelling.”

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: March 28, 2014

NOTIFICATION: March 31, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $20 for up to 3, $5 ea. add’l

JUROR: The show will be juried by a combination of Non-Fiction delegates and guest juror MAC, originator of the RE: Tale concept & show. Originally from Venezuela, MAC is a sequential illustrator interested in the contemporary development of storytelling. After pursuing degrees in Illustration Design & Sequential arts, he endeavored in museum studies & gallery management, sparking a fascination in the way artist adapt their skills & disciplines in order to communicate a story.

SALES: Gallery sales commission is 30% of the retail price named by the artist.

BUTTER, GHEE
or me

The only thing missing from California cuisine is butter. It is characterized by local, fresh ingredients and foods low in saturated fats and high in fresh vegetables and fruits with lean meats and seafood from the California coast with special attention paid to presentation–delicious & beautiful. But why leave out the butter? And, if it is from local, grass-fed cows, even better. Can’t we just learn to play well with others? The prize for this next Call hails from the land of California cuisine. Is this opportunity the one for you?

WHITE TABLE

I am addicted to salt. I am. I’ve given up most vices, but salt is here to stay. I have unnaturally low blood pressure (70/50), and my doctor suspects that is WHY I crave salt. So what does one do when faced with a salt addiction? Become a salt aficionado, of course. There is a rainbow-hued world of salt options out there. My current favorite is Hawaiian alaea salt which derives its pinkish or brownish hue from it’s volcanic clay rich in iron oxide. This next Call is all about the hue as well. Hue CAN tell the difference, hehehe…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Hue. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: Please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. I have a soft spot for this gallery, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Hue

Color in photography has symbolism and meaning that travels beyond what you see.

More than the combination of red, green, and blue or cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, color is a visual tool for non-verbal communication: a viewer’s perception and connection to an image can be significantly enhanced by a certain hue.

Strip away the subject matter from a photograph, and what is left behind? Two things. The underlying geometry of the photo, its composition or balance, and the color. The design and geometry make an image coalesce, become solid, and enduring. Whereas the color carries the opposite message, one of transience and impermanence. That’s because colors are not inherent in objects, but change and evolve with the changing light – and we photographers know, light is always changing.

Hues must contrast or complement one another to create a successful image, a delicate dance of visual balance. For this exhibit we are looking for works that exemplify the innate power of color. Images that drive us through hue to an emotive response.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: April 16, 2014

NOTIFICATION: April 23, 2014

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 for $24 US for on-line & $29 by email

PASTA

Today I spied organic alphabet soup in the grocery store. There is some humor to be found in the idea that someone invested in eating organically would also want a food so tortured & processed that it can spell out words. And, I don’t believe anyone is REALLY teaching their children to read with soup. So do we really need to communicate with food, literally, or am I just a huge hypocrite for constantly preach about the transformative & communicative power of food? Okay, I’m a hypocrite, ha. But, this next Call speaks to the power of text; however, I suspect they are not searching for alphabet pasta mosaics. Check out this fantastic venue…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Woman Made Gallery (Chicago, IL) for texttexttext. I’ve shown my own work at this venue, and I loved my experience at this gallery. Take a look…

ELIGIBILITY: Open to artists of all genders.

MEDIA: Text based work in all media will be considered.

Would you eat something with no nutritional value just for the sake of eating if you could? I LOVE to eat, but I’m not sure how much I would love it if I didn’t think even the most indulgent of desserts was secretly fueling my ability to live. For example, would you eat a snack if it tasted great but happen to be made of paper? Not rice paper, not seaweed paper–PAPER paper. Check out Slim Chips–interesting experiment. This next Call strikes me as a much better use of paper. Take a look…

RED, WHITE

Food deprivation is not new to me. In the South, women are born dieters, as was I for half my years. I no longer participate, opting for whole foods and a healthier self image. But, I was still dumbfounded when I read a study that proposes eating from a red dish, as opposed to the white ones I currently use, might result in smaller consumption. Human beings are a curious sort aren’t we? Maybe it is the association with stop signs and traffic lights. Who knows? This next Call is curious in its own way, and leaves room for you to stretch your talents. Don’t assume; investigate instead…

Check out this Call for Entries from Artseye Gallery (Tuscon, AZ) for Curious Camera. A photo show with great categories, and only $10 to enter. PLEASE don’t discount this show if you are NOT a photographer. Take a look first…
