I am not a good house keeper.  We must own our faults, and this fact is one of my many faults.  I don’t qualify for Hoarding or Clean House, but I also don’t dust unless my kid sneezes.  There are always 4 loads of laundry that need to be done, and I am fairly certain there is a can of coconut milk in my cabinet that expired in 2006. 

Life is too short.

 

However, I cannot afford to be a bad blog house keeper.  All of you deserve better than dusty pages and rotten Calls.  There are too many of you whose trust I have earned over the past year and a half to let things fall through the cracks.

So, I am counting on you to resist the urge to move on to checking other email or goofing off on facebook and help me out folks.  We really need to work on cleaning up a few things that are left lingering about even after the New Year:

REJECTION LETTERS:  I had hoped that the Rejection page would be in full swing by January, but I still don’t have enough letters to start properly.  Please email your rejections letters and/or emails to me at submitart@artandartdeadlines.com

I prefer scans of printed letters, but those are rare.  Remember, sending a rejection letter qualifies you for free entry into the $2 Art Contest.

www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com loves Art Galleries!GALLERIES:  A note to all of the gallery directors that read this blog… If your gallery is mentioned in one of the rejection letters I receive, you will get a feature page on your gallery on this site. 

I always want to be fair, and this is my way of balancing the discouraging with the hopeful. I will take the gallery information from the gallery’s website as well as request input fromt he director.  I hope this encourages you to encourage your artists to send in their letters.  It is your opportunity to let artists know what you want.

TASTES BEAUTIFUL!

How something looks affects how it tastes.  I love the look of a plate of roasted brussel sprouts.  With one look I know they promise a earthy grassiness and a nutty comfortable ease that I will relish.  My eleven year old knows with one look that green lumps will not taste good.  Everyone’s a critic.  This Call for Entries offers you a chance to put your best image forward.

Check out this Call for Entries for the Form & Color book.  This art publication is all art, no articles, and offers something shocking… a partial refund if you are rejected!  What?  No really.

Photography by Juror Peter Turnley!CALL FOR ENTRIES:
A True Story

Photography is the medium of memory. With its birth came the pictorial press and the realization that “a picture tells a thousand words.”  This is documentary photography.  It is present and tangible, and we rely on it to be authentic and true.  It teaches us, and when presented in proper context, we believe what we see.  

It is the job of the Photojournalist and Documentary Photographer to present the facts at hand.  It is a challenging job often requiring instant decisions and sometimes in the face of substantial obstacles.  How do we do this succinctly and objectively while providing an engaging and remarkable image or series? 

Is it possible to capture a photographic truth while simultaneously expressing our naturally subjective eye? 

Juror Peter Turnley has proven the task can be successful – have you?

 

Learn more about the Vermont Photo Space Gallery!For A True Story, VPS is looking for the documented event, person, or place, whether political, religious, cultural or environmental. Reality itself is infinitely more complex that what a single image can show, so we encourage your Photo Essay submissions of up to six images (some single images tell the whole thing adequately – these will be considered equally).  As the Photo Essay is so often complimented or even interdependent with text, they will allow up to three sentences to accompany each accepted image for display in the gallery.

Of special note:  VPS is able to accept essays for this exhibition!  So much of the genre appears as photo story, and they are thrilled to offer the opportunity to exhibitors to submit the same.  Whether you are submitting single images or multiples as a story, Juror Peter Turnley will consider your work as it is intended.  Who knows, this exhibition may include a few very lucky photographers who present an outstanding documentary photo story in several images. 

America in Black and White by Juror Peter Turnley!JUROR:  Peter Turnley was educated in French Literature and International Relations, inspiring his truly International work. For the past quarter century, he has been photographing in more than eighty-five countries, capturing world conflict, and several major geo-political moments. 

His portraits of political, cultural, and religious leaders as well as photo essays of a variety of social realities additionally weight his extensive, ever-expanding portfolio.   He has published five books:  “Beijing Spring,” “Moments of Revolution,” “In Times of War and Peace,” “Parisians” and “McClellan Street”. His images have been published in International magazines including Stern, Paris Match, Geo, Life, National Geographic, the London Sunday Times, Le Monde, and Doubletake.

Additionally, Turnley’s photographs have been showcased on the cover of Newsweek magazine over forty timesVPS is thrilled to have his extensive experience as a successful Photojournalist and Documentary Photographer applied to his mission as Juror for “A True Story.”

DIPLOMACY STINKS

It is a happy, shiny New Year, and I am excited about the possibilities.  Per usual, I am optimistic about the future… nauseatingly optimistic, according to my husband Jon.  However, most folks will also tell you that my attitude toward life is often like my taste in food…direct, unapologetic and undiplomatic.  Can food be unapologetic and undiplomatic?  Have you ever met a cheese named Limberger?  That sort of straight forwardness is what drew me to this next Call.

MEDIA:  Create an amazingly eye-catching piece of artwork incorporating the words, “RUN BREAST CANCER OUT OF TOWN.”

Download the Space 237 Submission GuidelinesABOUT SPACE 237:  Space 237 is a place where both artist and art enthusiast can interact and have an impact on what they may ultimately become, while reflecting upon the times and attitudes, causes and concerns that often require the peculiarly sensitive eye of the artist to synthesize and define in ways foreign to most of us.

Space 237 is creating an art environment dedicated to all forms of expression unfettered by concerns of acceptability to those who would otherwise feel constrained to prefer only the viewer’s status quo.  A place where art, music, “performance”, film and video will enhance and expand the viewer’s consciousness with sights and sounds resulting in a total immersion in the many expressions of the creative process.  Space 237 exists to encourage the next generation aspiring artists.
