CALL for ENTRIES: Edges & Curves 3

Posted on January 15, 2014March 3, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

BOWL
me over

For some reason, I own a significant number of square-edged plates and oddly curved bowls. All of my dishes are white, but what I lack in color I make up for in edges and curves. This next Call takes color, edges AND curves. I cannot possibly recommend an exhibit more highly than this one. I love the people, and I proudly stand as one of them. Please enter…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Haggus Society for the 3rd Edges & Curves Exhibition which will be held at the Altadena Library (Altadena, CA). This $12.50 is one of the lowest entry fees you’ll ever see. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: In the interest of full-disclosure, loud and proud…I’m a card-carrying Hag.

time to peel the
GARLIC

Dinner in our house has reoccurring themes, including goat-cheese-would-be-good-in-this, a-squeeze-of-lime-would-add-a-little-acid and the ever popular how-much-garlic-is-IN-this?. If you add in a little d0-we-have-any-chocolate?, you could be at virtually ANY meal at my house. Do you have reoccurring themes? This next Call wants to know what you think is worth repeating.

CALL for MAIL ART: Temporality

Posted on January 13, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

KISSY
face

I only feel justified making pavlova during a holiday week. Pavlova (like the one at left by Tanya Zouevis) a little like two meringues kiss–through sweetened whipped cream. I think it has to do with the temporary nature of the fragile, crispy meringue and the fluffy (but easily flattened) whipped cream. We’ve just finished with New Year’s Day, and I’m already looking for a holiday. MLK Jr. Day doesn’t usually strike me as a day earmarked for indulgence. What’s after the next holiday? I’ll look into it. In the meantime, this next Call is inspired by the temporary, but you can expand your repertoire past whipped cream. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from International Blowing Bubbles Day (Netherlands) for Temporality, a mail art show. There is no entry fee, but you won’t get your work back (so don’t forget to document). If you’ve been looking for an international show for your resume, here’s one in the Netherlands…

feeling
BERRY BLUE?

How can I love blueberries IN things, but not care for blueberries on their own? My husband makes fantastic blueberry-maple-bacon corn muffins, and I could eat my weight in them. But, I always avoid the blueberries in my fruit cup. Weirdness. This next Call is open to weirdness–as long as it is blue. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Art Biologic 2014

Posted on January 9, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

here a CHICKEN
there a GOAT

As I search for land for the straw bale house that my family intends to build, critters have become an issue. I am thrilled by the prospects of having chickens for eggs & goats for milk, but am I really dedicated to the biology of it all? Do I really want to be married to the drama of a chicken coop and all the possible predators? Do I really want to give up spontaneous long weekends due to a milking schedule? It may BE all natural, but it doesn’t necessarily COME NATURALLY. This next call wants your take on the art of biology, but it needn’t be all chickens and goats. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Football

TICKET

The only thing I know about football is tailgating food & Super Bowl party appetizers. But somehow, I ended up with dozens and dozens of Facebook friends that are seemingly obsessed. Every Sunday, my news feed fills with ALL-CAPS exclamations of joy, disbelief and frequent devastation over this game. I don’t get it, but I do know what they eat. In the meantime, apparently there are galleries where they like the game too. Maybe this one is for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Barsky Gallery (Hoboken, NJ) for Art’s Salute to Football. There’s no entry fee, but the commission is 50%. If it doesn’t sell, you may have the perfect gift for the football fiend in your family. Take a look…

pat my
BURGER

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…

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?

My 14 year old TAKES HIS LUNCH everyday. No joke. He is allergic to wheat, and public school lunches, aside from having wheat hiding everywhere, are not to his liking. I have ruined his ability to eat fake food. So, his lunches are often a little like homemade Lunchables™ with a little of this and a little of that. But the last time I had to fly, I encounter the most bizarre concept–Lunchables™ for adults. Well, not literally; at least I don’t THINK Oscar Mayer® is making in-flight foods. Maybe a little tapas lunch of your own making will help you tackle this gravity defying Call. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Take Flight from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry fee is very reasonable, and I’ll bet you already have lots of work that works with this theme…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Take Flight

Humans have always desired to take to the skies. Fascinated by flight, we construct machines to propel us into the air; from kites and hot air balloons to supersonic jets. We admire birds and costume ourselves with wings, imagining what it would be like to fly without assistance.

For Take Flight, The Kiernan Gallery seeks
images of and about defying gravity.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

don’t cut the
CAKE

Isn’t it funny how certain seasons suddenly bring about the craving for very specific foods? It never occurs to most people to even think about fruitcake until we start seeing winter holiday decorations appear. My German in-laws (3rd generation via Wisconsin) save kuchen for Christmas. Kuchen is German & approximately translates to “cake,” but I know it as a sort of custard & jam filled sweet-dough, low-rise cake that screams Christmas. Much to my surprise, it is also the state dessert of South Dakota–the home of this next Call. This is a beautiful venue, by the way…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Visual Arts Center at the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science (Sioux Falls, SD) for the Visual Arts Center Juried Exhibition.
