CALL for ENTRIES: Chronograph

Posted on December 7, 2014December 7, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

cold or
FROZEN?

To freeze or not to freeze– THAT is the question. I tend to cook in large quantities. I do it on purpose to provide additional dinners, but mostly lunches, with the same amount of effort it took to make dinner. The problem is that not all food freezes well. Chili is great reheated after being frozen for a week, but potato soup becomes paste after only a day in the freezer. Casseroles take on a luscious, unctuous quality while mushrooms turn to rubber. This next Call want you to freeze TIME, for better or for worse. Brilliant. Are you up for the challenge?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Chronograph. They always have a low entry fee ($24) & a great juror. But, I have a soft spot for this theme. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Chronograph

“Photography is a medium renowned for freezing time. However, there are many facets and dichotomies this theme of chronology can visually explore. Darkroom Gallery is calling for explorative visual depictions of time. Pasts and futures can often collide…and what of time travelers and quantum physics? Lastly, photographs can be truly devoid of time, they can have a sort of classic “timelessness”. “ — from darkroomgallery.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography

THEME: Time-oriented photography; vintage, futuristic or rhythmic imagery.

DEADLINE: December 28, 2014

NOTIFICATION: January 4, 2015

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 for $24 (online)/$29 (email)

*Editor’s Note: It is important to let Darkroom Gallery know you found their Call on artandartdeadlines.com. They are friends & sponsors of AAAD, and I always want them to know they have our support…

He will continue producing ‘Coastal’ in 2015.

NUTS
to milk

My first taste of coconut milk, and I was sold. It isn’t always that way. Beets took 20 years to get on my good side. But coconut milk is good in everything. Granted, I prefer the high fat canned version, but I’m even enamored using the carton in the frig for everything from breakfast cereal to hot cocoa–and then there is the homemade ice cream, yum. This next Call is your chance to fall in love with something on the very first try. There is only one first, so don’t miss your opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: 52nd Masur

Posted on December 4, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

EARLY
to rise?

Breakfast is beloved in my house. Everywhere I have ever lived, including some time in the Virgin Islands, breakfast has been the biggest meal of the day because it was always the cheapest. Even tiny islands in the Caribbean can raise chickens instead of importing eggs. So, a cheeseburger might be $18, but breakfast was always under $5. Those days have passed, and breakfast can be a pricey endeavor. It is apparently even more expensive if you get up a little later and call it brunch. Start your morning with this next Call because it is definitely cheaper than brunch. 🙂 Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 52nd Annual Juried Exhibition from the Masur Museum of Art (Monroe, LA). $10 entry fee, no commission, and the gallery is stunning. This is a great opportunity!

At the UB Art Galleries, Firmin established an annual residency program in which artists are presented with an empty gallery to transform over time while open to the public. These commissioned projects aim to forge meaningful interactions between artists and diverse groups of people while acknowledging a turn toward research-based and ephemeral site-specific approaches in contemporary art. In 2014 Firmin co-chaired (with Julian Cox) the Association of Art Museum Curators’ annual conference in Detroit, and moderated the panel Urban Ecologies and Cultural Exchange.

The award is $100. *No packing peanuts, feedbags, loose papers as packing materials, no cigarette butts, etc. These types of things will disqualify you! This prize will be decided by the Masur Museum staff. I ♥ this!

SALES: The Masur Museum of Art does not receive a commission on sales.

CALL for ARTISTS: Pricing your ART!

Posted on December 1, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

RECIPE
for success

I hoard recipes in a little Campbell’s Soup box on my kitchen counter top. I also post them to a private group on FB & pin them to a board in Pinterest too. Honestly, I rarely follow a recipe, but I learn so much from how other people cook. Art should be the same way. I hope you are out there looking at art online & OFF line. Share & try not to be afraid of copy cats. Remember, what makes your work YOURS can’t ever be duplicated.

If it weren’t for sharing, this blog wouldn’t exist. Just in case you forgot how it all got started in the first place, here is a link. I share my experiences, recommendations & cautionary tales about food and art with all of you. But, I also share it in a series of career development workshops at the Arts & Culture Alliance in Knoxville, TN. I have one coming up in February on How to Price your Artwork, and I would love to have your input. The “right” answer is… whatever works for you. But, the real question is… does is REALLY WORK for you? Are you selling art? So, this call asks that you share your recipe for success…with me.

Check out this Call for Artists from AAAD for Pricing your Art, a call for feedback. Yours truly needs your help making sure that I am passing along a recipe for success to novice and emerging artists. Don’t worry, there’s a reward…

The information will be aggregated to form a range of working options and prevailing theories for new artists that need the assistance. I will be the ONLY ONE that reads the information you fill out below. Please note, when you submit the form, it will be emailed to me at submitart@artandartdeadlines.com.

I want to encourage you to share your best practices below. Do you price on whim? Do you track your studio time? Do you have a formula (cost of materials+ 2x hourly labor–for example). Do you have an average cost per square inch that you apply generally. Do you charge the same amount when you are not paying commission? Please tell us more… (continues below the form)

[vfb id=2]

After the February workshop, I will publish all the information so that everyone can benefit whether you are in Knoxville or the other side of the planet!

Give us all the details for a chance to be an Artist to Love!

I don’t share well. I never have. I like to believe it is an only-child-thing, but I’ll stab your hand with a fork if you get too close to my plate during some dishes–Eggs Benedict, for example. Just ask my kid; it doesn’t leave marks, but apparently it is memorable, ha. Regarding this next Call, I need you to be generous and share. I hope this Call is just the opportunity YOU want. But if it isn’t, please share it far and wide so that this dream doesn’t go unrealized for someone out there. Take a look…

My ultimate comfort food is cheese or nearly any kind. Weird, eh? But, I’m sure some of you claim oatmeal or hamburgers, pizza or kale chips as YOUR comfort food. Sometimes the comfort of another is just enough to get you to try and love a new food. This next Call belongs to a gallery that I find to be a comfort. Try it for yourself; you just may love it…

ROOTS

I spent the majority of my life hating beets, but I was so very wrong. They are my favorite color on the planet; that should have been my first hint. The beautiful shade of purplish-red found in sugar beets was the first clue that they held an earthly luscious quality not to be missed. Roasted or pickled, warmed or chilled, I can’t get enough of them now. This next Call wants to know all you love about hue and saturation. Let them see your best…

Schlosberg received her MFA from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University, and her BFA from Ohio University College of Art. She is represented by Susan Maasch Fine Art in Portland, ME and by Kingston Gallery in Boston. She has recently partnered with the non-profit Art in Giving. She maintains a studio in Waltham, MA.

CALL for ENTRIES: Embracing our Differences

Posted on October 15, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

sweet or
SOUR?

There’s a battle brewing in my house. We live within 15 miles of two apple orchards. We only have room for a 5lb. bag of apples each week. This time of year, Crispins (green/golden apples) get my vote, while my husband seems single-mindedly obsessed with Braeburns (red apples). I don’t care what color they are, but red apples tend to be sweeter. We’ve finally taken to trading off weeks. On my weeks, I get to eat my slightly sour raw green apples; on his weeks, we make apple tarts, pies & crisps out of the red variety. I’m trying to embrace our differences–like the them of this next Call. Take a look…
