CALL for ENTRIES: Creative Quarterly No. 24

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email! FOOD YES,
WHINE NO

I am a magazine reader. Yep, the paper ones. I read and peruse imagery as motivation for household projects, photography and, of course, cooking. One of my favorite food magazines? Food and Wine, of course.  I have delusions of grandeur each and every time I watch Top Chefs that I could win that show and have my work featured in F&W.  Instead, I am opting to submit my art to this Call for Creative Quarterly.  Do you think Food & Wine will be so impressed they will cover my food anyway?  Me neither.  Anyway, don’t miss this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries for Creative Quarterly. The entry fee is an incredibly low $10, and art publication is great exposure for your work. Take a look!

Creative Quarterly asks the question: Where does your inspiration come from?

What person, place or thing inspires your work?

 

By launching a new redesign, they’ve become a much more interactive journal. They search the web for interesting projects in art and design to share with their readers. They ask their readers to share what inspires them. The purpose, not to copy but to inspire.

Take a look at back issues of Creative Quarterly!Inspiration can come from an innovative chair design or an unusual ring or from an interview with a well-known designer or artist or something from ones past.

Creative Quarterly is the best of art and design, quarterly.

SLOW not SNOW

It seems a little surreal to me that the snow that I whined so miserably about has barely melted, and I am already miserably whining about missing my slow cooker stews, soups and ragouts.  Although there is one thing that I can still joyfully cook all day even in the Spring …Greek Chicken and Potatoes.  This Call for Entries doesn’t necessarily require a slow creative process or a slow submission process, but it is all about the surreal and promoted by SlowArt Productions.  Take a look…

Remember when the electric kitchen mixer was only a dream?  Well, no, I don’t either, but you have at least contemplated what it was like BEFORE we had electrical conveniences.  I, personally, don’t think I have the motivation or arm strength to deal with a manual egg beater.  But, I have no doubt that someone somewhere thought that an electric hand mixer was a ridiculous, impossible dream.  This next Call may test your ability to imagine the future, but I encourage you to be open to the possibilities.  Always be an optimist…

Check out this Call for Entries for Through the Looking Glass at Artform Gallery & Tattoo.  This is an all-hung show (or at least one piece per artist), and the entry fee is only $5 per piece. Hurry!  The deadline is in FIVE days.  It is worth a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:  Through the Looking Glass

 Download the Through the Looking Glass Prospectus! From the Artform Gallery website:  “We’ve come across some very interesting technology that we believe will change how the world can be interconnected. The technology is in the palm of most peoples hands and they don’t even realize it. Our goal is to present this new form of communication to the world is going be through art, by having a gallery opening May 7th at Artform Gallery and Tattoo.”

“Nothing like this has ever been done before. We are trying to bring public awareness to the use of this technology in our everyday life, and what better way to do it through art. Especially since life imitates art on a daily basis. This is the future and the time to act is now while we are right on the cusp of this technological revolution.”

*Editor’s Note:  I encourage you to think about this Call with an open mind.  I was very hesitant to publish it because it is vague and unclear; however, after a discussion with the Gallery, I think they are just trying to keep their “secret technology” under wraps until the opening.  But to help you a little, there is an ACTUAL show, not just an online show.  There is an ACTUAL opening, but you don’t have to send your work… only .jpgs.  I have a theory on the technology, and if you email me we can compare theories.  I’ve wasted a lot of entry fees, but I think this $5 is worth being a part of the mystery.

ARTIST RESIDENCY: 1 Week River Retreat

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!

CATCH and RELEASE?

One of my favorite things about a river vacation getaway or retreat is the trout.  I like to catch them.  I like to eat them.  I do not like to clean them.  It isn’t about my wanting to be ignorant of the source of my food or the avoiding the death of a living being.  I just don’t like the guts part.  No, really.  If you’re a little squeamish too, make sure you take someone along for this next week-long artist residency on the river.  Take a look…

DRIVE-THRU
YOU

Food access easily drives what you actually consume.  There isn’t a real restaurant within 10 miles of my home.  As a result, we cook almost everyday.  There is only one grocery store within 10 miles of my home; therefore, there is no late night run to the store for chips or ice cream or chocolate.  We have to plan our bad behavior in advance.  This post will help you plan your artistic behavior and give you phenomenal access to a great artist resource.

Check out this Opportunity to join Model Mayhem!  There is no fee to join, and some models with work for prints.  The database is searchable by state and city, and if there are available models near me… there are models near you!  Take a look…

Check out Model Mayhem!MODEL MAYHEM

My esteemed collegue, Arizona-based artist and photographer Jerry Portelli, has been shoving me out of my comfort zone for a couple of years now.   And, he introduced me to Model Mayhem–an online resource, primarily for models, that offers photographers and artists a way to connect to models near them.  For the models, it is an online “go see.”  For you, as an artist, you get to pour over their profile and previous work to find just what inspires you.

DEADLINE:  Quit procrastinating

NOTIFICATION:  The sooner you join, the sooner you’ll find your muse.

ENTRY FEE:  I have had several models agree to TFP or Trade for Prints in lieu of cash. They build their portfolio, and I have money to eat and still produce artwork.  Model Mayhem is free to join, but you must be approved.

Find a model at Model Mayhem!ELIGIBILITY:  The approval process isn’t automated. You must fit into a member category and the requirements for that category.

Here are a few highlights from their site:

Bio Requirements You are asked to provide a short bio as part of your application. Please provide details about your experience, goals, reasons for being on MM, or any other relevant information. Please err on the side of providing more info rather than less. Also, don’t make it sound like a personal ad.

 Provide 4 Different Photos (or more!) At least four different photos are required for all accounts. No duplicates, re-crops, or manipulations of the same image. Members are expected to maintain a minimum of four relevant photos at all times.  

I'll bet you can guess why I like this image!Quality Images Required

They want quality images on Model Mayhem. Your photos must be judged to be of sufficient quality. This means that you should not submit webcam shots, mirror shots, poorly exposed photos, too grainy, too much compression, arm’s-length self portraits, personal snapshots, etc.

Make Your Photos Big Enough

MM recommends that your photos be 600-800 pixels on the longest side. Anything less than 200×300 pixels or so is typically too small to see. Images wider than 800 pixels will be resized.

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Art-O-Mat

I love Art-O-Mat!  Art Starts at only $5!

I originally became an art gallery owner because I couldn’t afford the art I loved, and I wanted to be responsible for making at least some of the art I loved affordable.  But I assure you that your friendly blogger didn’t invent the idea of affordable art.  Neither did Art-O-Mat, but I love their take.

I am blogging from the road today, so, instead of posting a traditional Art Deadline for you…I thought I would just remind you of some opportunities that are ALWAYS out there for you like Art-O-Mat.

What is an Art-o-mat?
Art-o-mat machines are retired cigarette machines that have been converted to vend art. There are approx. 90 active machines in various locations throughout the country.  Find an art-o-mat near you.

Check out this Art-O-Mat work from Kathy Fisher!Now there is no excuse not to be a collector. And of course, you can be an Art-O-Mat artist too!  Submit your work today! Here is some great information from Art-O-Mat.

DEADLINE: Rolling year ’round.

ENTRY FEE: None

What do you get from an Art-o-mat?

The experience of pulling the knob alone is quite a thrill, but you also walk away with an original work of art. What an easy way to become an art collector.  See Art-O-Mat samples here. Check out the Art-O-Mat work of Kathy Fisher (pictured right).Remember to "Research the Ingredients" before submitting!

Want to be an Artomat artist?
There are around 400 contributing artists from 10 different countries currently involved in the Art*o*mat project. They are always searching for fresh work.  Check out the submission process.  Just remember, all they can do is say no.  Do your research, and then follow the guidelines.  Be brave and submit your inspired art so that someone else can afford to be a collector…and eat!
