CALL for ENTRIES: Feeling Festive

Posted on November 11, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

3 ALARM for YOU!

I love a good festival. I am going to Gatlinburg’s Annual Chili Cook Off this week and will stuff myself to the gills. Yum. I’m truly afraid to attend the Annual Ribfest (which also includes chicken wings)… I might not fit back into my car at the end. Think of all the festival food you could eat with these Calls for Entry.

Some folks love Art Festivals, and they can be an excellent opportunity for art sales if you know how to work it. Check out these Calls for Entry from the Celedon Fine Arts Festival, the Omaha Summer Arts Festival and the Monmouth Festival of the Arts. I don’t often post art festivals…so here’s three to make it up to those of you who love them!

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstractions

Posted on November 6, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

POETIC PIZZA

Abstraction is defined as the process or result of generalization. In my house, the dinner discussion goes a little like this: “What do you want for dinner?” Which is often followed by “I don’t know. What do you want for dinner?” Which is then further followed by: ” Well, I know I don’t want pizza.” By the way, this abstract dinner notion of I-don’t-know-but-I-don’t-want-that, usually ends in pizza for dinner. Poetic, eh? Here’s a way to have a more productive abstract notion…

Check out this Call for Entries called True Poetry: Abstractions from the Woman Made Gallery in Chicago. I’ve shown at Woman Made before, and I always admire the curatorial eye of their jurors. The fee is reasonable, and you know I love a theme. Take a closer look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
True Poetry: Abstractions

Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world.

Western art was, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the nineteenth century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality.

The arts of cultures other than the European had become accessible and showed alternative ways of describing visual experience to the artist. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a new kind of art which would encompass the changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy.

The sources from which individual artists drew their arguments were diverse, and reflected the social and intellectual preoccupations in all areas of Western culture at that time.

Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art. This departure from accurate representation can be only slight, or it can be partial, or it can be complete.

Abstraction exists along a continuum.

Even art that aims for verisimilitude of the highest degree can be said to be abstract, at least theoretically, since perfect representation is likely to be exceedingly elusive.

Artwork which takes liberties, altering for instance color and form in ways that are conspicuous, can be said to be partially abstract. Total abstraction bears no trace of any reference to anything recognizable. In geometric abstraction, for instance, one is unlikely to find references to naturalistic entities.

Figurative art and total abstraction are almost mutually exclusive. But figurative and representational (or realistic) art often contains partial abstraction. Both Geometric abstraction and Lyrical Abstraction are often totally abstract. Among the very numerous art movements that embody partial abstraction would be for instance fauvism in which color is conspicuously and deliberately altered vis-a-vis reality, and cubism, which blatantly alters the forms of the real life entities depicted.

MEDIA: Open to two- and three-dimensional semi-abstract, non-objective to pure abstract works in all media by women artists from the international community.

SUBMISSION ONLINE:Submit jpgs of up to three of your works on their website. Please include an artist statement and a $30 entry fee.

JUROR: Sandra Perlow is a prolific artist interested in abstraction and pictorial space. She earned her BA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and an MA from the Illinois Institute of Design.

Perlow has shown her work internationally, including at Linda Warren Gallery, Harper College, Jean Albano Gallery, and the Rockford Art Museum. She is an active contributor to WMG and serves on its Advisory Board.

REJECTED…not dejected.

Posted on November 5, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

We regret to inform you…

You’ve gotta hate letters that start that way. It is like biting into the perfect apple and finding a worm. Yep, rejection sucks. Every artist gets rejected.

While pondering how to do to expand and improve ArtAndArtDeadlines.com for the upcoming year, it occured to me that Rejection Letters are a subject of fascination for many. Why don’t we try to take something personal and depressing and turn it into something great?

…A positive way to learn.

That’s right readers…I want your Rejection Letters.

Send me your letters with your name and address obscured (or I can obscure them for you), and I will build a page to catalog all the letters by gallery or show.

Sharing our rejection letters could serve several purposes:

1. COMMISERATION: You won’t feel so alone when you get 3 rejections a week.

2. RESEARCH: The letters can serve as research on shows and galleries–Step #3 in the popular AAAD post The Art of Cooking also known as How to Get an Art Show.

3. HUMOR: Some of them are hilarioius.

4. WARNING: If you read between the lines, sometimes Rejection Letters can be a great warning that a gallery is just not your cup o’ tea.

So, what do you think? Start submiting your rejection letters (and emails) to me at SubmitArt@ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. Iwould prefer that you send the letters to me AFTER obscuring your name and contact information, but rest assured that I will take every effort to make sure this is an uplifting experience. No one wins if you feel embarrased.

As an added incentive, I will give anyone
that sends me a Rejection Letter a FREE entry
into the $2 Art Contest for that month!

After this blog post goes live, I will create a Rejection Page with this blog entry as its content until the letters roll in (assuming you’re interested).

Here’s one of my letters from the Lake County Discovery Museum’s Postcard Art Competition in 2007. It is a kind letter (sweet, but not entertaining), but I’ll dig through to find some that are more interesting soon.

Send your rejection letters today!

CALL for ENTRIES: The Arrangement

Posted on November 4, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

GUILTY PLEASURE

I frequently joke that I would eat anything that won’t run from me. (Maybe I just need a pair of these Waffle Sneakers from BBC.) But I must admit that how food is presented, it’s arrangement, if you will, makes a huge difference. I love petite little bites that cause me guilt because I know that I am disturbing a masterpiece. Speaking of masterpieces…

It will come as no surprise that this Call for Entries from Vermont Photo Space Gallery called The Arrangement conjures of the exquisite fusion of food and art…the art of presentation. Yes, I am that obsessed with food. But I know you will dig deeper for your own “Arrangement”…don’t forget Vermont Photo Space offers free framing & matting on accepted entries!

CALL FOR ENTRIES: The Arrangement

The tradition of still-life as subject matter has roots deep into the history of art, pre-dating photography as a medium by centuries.

Fine artists in all mediums, photography included, benefited from the total control they had over the final piece; the art making began with their arrangements of the mostly inanimate objects they intended to represent. As Vermont Photo Space Gallery owner Ken Signorello aptly points out, “…it is art squared, where one first creates a work of art and then another to preserve it.”

The history of still life in Photography is as old as the medium itself. Henry Talbot himself produced the first photographic images using the inanimate objects of still life. In its earliest days, utilizing still life as subject matter allowed for the lengthy exposures necessary for its initial technologies.

In the early 1900s, studies in line and form of object contributed to popular abstractions. In the 1950s, still-life concentrated on the kitsch, and re-emerged in the 90s after a few decades in obscurity, in perfect partnership with the new trendy super-saturated film stock. Overall, the genre has been largely ignored, despite periodic bouts of influence – surprising, for a photographic practice with so much potential.

What is still life today?

Vermont Photo Space wants you to show them your arrangements, from advertising to record photography, the abstract to the obvious. Whether you are an amateur or professional, you may have experienced your still-life photographs as some of your favorite images – Juror Paula Tognarelli wants to see them.

JUROR: Paula Tognarelli is the Executive Director and Curator of the Griffin Museum of Photography. The Griffin Museum of Photography’s mission is to promote an appreciation of photographic art and a broader understanding of its visual, emotional and social impact.

Tognarelli holds a M.S. in Arts Administration from Boston University; is a graduate of the New England School of Photography (Applied Program) and is a current candidate for her Masters in Education at Lesley University as a visual arts teacher.

Paula describes her photography as her native language. “I’ve always been more visual than vocal. I could draw a picture much faster than I could articulate a story in words. Photography made dialogue that much easier for me.”

Tognarelli is also a digital imaging specialist. She has done extensive postgraduate study in color management, color theory, digital photography and digital imaging processing. She has lectured on digital imaging throughout the United States and in Japan, representing Agfa and Polaroid Graphic Imaging. She has also been a speaker at the Seybold Conferences. She is a former member of the Xerox Technical Advisory Board. Paula was named by Printing Impressions magazine as one of twelve women who made a major contribution to the Graphic Arts/ Imaging industry.

RULES FOR PHOTO SUBMISSIONS:

Age: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, a parent or legal guardian may make the submission for you.

Ownership: All submitted photos must have been taken by the photographer making the entry.

If you are a parent or legal guardian submitting for a minor, please make it clear on the submission form.

3. Images should be as large as possible but no larger than 1280 pixels on the longest side, type jpg – set to the highest quality. DPI can be set to any number, but if you must specify something go with 72 dpi.

FEES: Up to three images may be submitted for a fee of $20 US for on-line submission and $25 for email submission. Additional images may be submitted for an additional $5 US per image.

DEADLINE: Images and payment must be received by midnight EST on the submission closing date December 22, 2010.

RIGHTS: Photographers retain all rights to their work, except for submissions accepted for exhibition: artists grant Vermont Photo Space the right to use their images to promote the exhibition and for display on VPS website and for inclusion in an exhibit catalog.

Vermont Photo Space Gallery provides free matting and framing of accepted entries for the duration of each of our exhibitions, subject to standard sizes. Photographers set their own prices if they wish to sell their work, and retain all rights.

This is possibly the first time I have ever reposted a Call, but the opportunity is really that good. Don’t miss this one folks! Click on their logo below to see “What Remains,” a 2010 show curated solely from their open submission process.

MONEY FOR DESSERT

Most professional artists rely on art sales for income. Most emerging artists hope for art sales for extra income for supplies. Many prestigious art shows come with publicity and great printed materials, but lots of artists never get to go to out-of-town openings due to financial constraints. So, how do you afford to produce work, submit work, get to attend the openings and still afford to eat dessert?

Maybe this Call for Submissions from The Soap Factory could be the answer to your art entry problems. The Soap factory is looking for work for group exhibits, AND they offer installation support, travel, accommodations, and a stipend to those selected to exhibit.

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: The Soap Factory

They are particularly interested in proposals conceived specifically for The Soap Factory galleries. (So do your homework!) Their programming is unique in that they select only a small proportion of the artists they exhibit from their pool of submissions. They commonly receive 400 artist submissions per season.

DEADLINE: November 30, 2010. They do NOT accept e-mailed submissions so this is a POSTMARK deadline.

REVIEW DATES: Submissions are reviewed for exhibition between May 1st and October 31st.

NOTIFICATION: March 2011

They may keep your submission on file for up to 8 months. Do not call or email to check on your submission. The Soap Factory does not return work. Please only send materials that you do not need to be returned.

Please submit any video on DVD. DVD must be in Zone 1 format (readable in USA).

The Soap Factory is committed to diversity in audience, staff and programming. To assist them in achieving our diversity goals, please indicate your ethnicity or cultural background. Please note that compliance or non-compliance with this request will NOT affect the status of your submission.

ARTIST RESIDENCY: Roswell, New Mexico

Posted on October 21, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

LIKE EGGS…
IN THE HOURGLASS

The thought of a little more time with family at breakfast or dinner is a dream in my household. For now we are grouchy, non-speaking, egg-gulping, panic-stricken and running late during weekday mornings, but weekends are full of blue-berry pancakes and eggs benedict.

Are you looking for the gift of time? Check out the 12-month residency opportunity in Roswell, New Mexico that offers space, time, and even a stipend! Don’t miss it…

ARTIST RESIDENCY
OPPORTUNITY:
Roswell, New Mexico

Well known by artists as the “Gift of Time”, the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program was established in 1967 to provide gifted studio based visual artists with the unique opportunity to concentrate on their work in a supportive, collegial environment for a whole year. This “gift of time” allows artists to work without distraction in an effort to break new ground and focus on individual goals.

The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program serves as a contemporary counterpoint to the traditional arts of the Southwest, reinforces the Program’s interest in strengthening the vitality of art in New Mexico and has been a catalyst in broadening community understanding of contemporary art.

CURRENT DEADLINE: December 1, 2010

MEDIA: In-residence grants are offered to artists involved in painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography, installation and other fine art media. Grants are not made in the disciplines of performance art or production crafts.

HOUSING & STUDIO FACILITIES: The studios are large, open spaces that measure approximately 20’x25’x10′. These areas are well-lighted and convertible to the artist’s requirements within reason. The printmaking facility is a small, fully operational studio – basically lithographic/etching in nature.

Artists are housed in a complex of six houses and 10 studios located on forty acres of land. Each artist is provided with a house that can amply accommodate either a single person or a family. Rent, utilities (except telephone), repairs and maintenance costs are borne by the Program. Houses are furnished with major furniture items, appliances and utensils. (continued below)

STIPEND: A stipend, or living allowance, of $800 per month is offered along with $100 per month for every dependent living with the grantee. Currently, the cost of art materials is borne by the grantee.

For more information about the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program, contact: Stephen Fleming, RAIR Program Director by phone: (575)622 6037 or e-mail them at: stephen@rair.org .
