CALL for ENTRIES: 2nd Annual Clay National

Posted on April 15, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

EAT OFF CLAY
not the clay itself

Dinner is cooked (and eaten) in either undies or pajamas in my house. My husband usually cooks dinner. Dinner is cooked directly after work. My husband is a commercial potter. How are these connected? My hubby is forced (by me) to get out of his clay embedded clothing in the garage to prevent a gray trail in his wake. So, he cooks in whatever was under his clothes or pajamas if he makes it that far. This next call WANTS your clay, but please don’t attend the opening in your undies. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Workhouse Arts Center (Lorton, VA outside D.C.) for The 2nd Annual Clay National. This is a great show, reasonable fee, respected juror and a historic venue. Please do not miss this opportunity!

CALL for ENTRIES: Art of Photography

CHICKEN, anyone?

Fast food is fast, but I sometimes wonder about the food part. Like you, I am frequently too busy to cook or even shop for food for that matter. But, I have found a lazy alternative to fast food, the rotisserie chicken. In my version, I have it over romaine with a little Parmesan, a few croutons, Italian dressing and a couple of pepperoncini on the side. This next Call for Entries, also has a contingency plan for running out of time… the online entry. You have plenty of time until this deadline, but just in case…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 8th Art of Photography Show which is being held at the San Diego Art Institute this year. The cost to enter is about average; however, last year, 1700 people attended the reception, and the award are spectacular. That’s a bargain…

PERSONAL ZOO

One of my very favorite foods as a kid was animal crackers. I liked to line them up in pairs and then bite off their heads and legs before eating the bodies. A little gruesome, and I’m not certain what that says about me. But I do crack my goldfish crackers in half before I eat them even now. Do food interpreters (like dream interpreters) exist? Clearly I need one. My prescription? Buy a box of animal crackers for inspiration for this next call…

TATER TOT

So I was watching a “hot dish” competition on Bizarre Foods America the other day. (A “hot dish” competition is sort of like a casserole contest.) This particular contest was being held in a mid-western town’s VFW or American Legion Hall. Many of the contestants sported beehive hairdos, mom jeans and gingham aprons. Then out of nowhere, a woman in Bermuda shorts whipped out a BLOW TORCH to brown the top of her tater tot casserole like it was creme brulée–proof positive that culinary technology and techniques have made it to every fishbowl, no matter how small. This next Call wants to see your techy stuff on a tiny scale or large, your choice. How big is your fishbowl?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Macro/Micro: Photographic Extremes. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($20), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

CALL for ENTRIES:

Macro/Micro:
Photographic Extremes

This exhibit is about two photographic extremes, regardless of what you call them: Micro Photography (AKA Macro Photography) and Macrophotography (AKA Wide Angle Photography). The Darkroom Gallery wants to see your best work using these photographic tools.

Look it up, Macro (from Greek prefix “makros-” meaning “large”). Most sciences or areas of study use this prefix as defined. Macroeconomics, for example: “dealing with the behavior of the whole economy”. Microeconomics: “study of the behavior of small economic units, such as that of individual consumers, opposite of macroeconomics”. So what happened with Photography? Commonly, photographers call images of things small and extreme closeups, Macro Photography.

What then is Microphotography? Interestingly, Nikon uses the term Micro for it’s close focusing lenses, but not Canon. So, even the manufacturers don’t agree.

Microphotography reveals a world unseen by the naked eye. It often exposes patterns and designs that create sublime abstract images. Macrophotography gathers a view often larger and grander than can be gathered with the human eye. Both introduce distortions either through lens characteristics or stitching construction techniques that are creative tools used to produce these distinctive images.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

MEDIA:
Photography.

DEADLINE:
