CALL for ENTRIES: True Colors

Posted on January 2, 2012January 2, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

MISSION
not
ACCOMPLISHED

A little girl recently asked me how I could tell which food was good for me just by looking at it. (Yes, I really do talk about food all day.) I spent a few minutes explaining that you could tell that some foods are good for you because they are deeply or brightly colored, like broccoli, swiss chard and carrots. Without missing a beat she said, “I’m glad to know I don’t have to give up jelly beans,” and she promptly turned and left. Perfect. This next show is proves color can be good for you. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for True Colors, a digital and photography competition brought to you by Digital Arts: California that will feature both an online showcase AND a physical gallery exhibit. Pay attention to the details…

CALL for ENTRIES:
True Colors

“Color—in all its glory—is the theme of this exhibit. Bring on those bright, dazzling hues, or those soft, muted pastels. Explore deep, mysterious shades, or subtle, sophisticated tones. Does your palette include earth tones…or psychedelic blinders? Have you created a fuchsia-and-saffron fractal or a digital painting in chartreuse and cherry-blossom pink? Or, have you photographed the subtle range of blues and greens in an ocean vista? If color is an integral aspect of your art or photography, we want to see your images!” —from digitalartscalifornia.com

Digital Arts: California presents exhibits online and in a physical, brick-and-mortar gallery in Los Angeles, San Diego, or another California art center.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists.

MEDIA: Every discipline, genre, style, and school of thought within digital art and photography is welcome.

DEADLINE: January 15, 2012

ENTRY FEE: Entry fees are $25 for the first 5 & $4 for each add’l image.

JURORS: Selection of the finalists that will appear online in solo artist/photographer galleries will be made by Virginia and Glen Christensen. Virginia has enjoyed a long career as an editor and a publisher of photography and art books, and is, herself, an accomplished photographer. Glen has had a distinguished career as Art Director at major record companies in both New York City and Hollywood. Among his professional accolades have been two Grammy nominations for Best Album Package.

AWARDS: Works that have been awarded a Gold Stellar Art Award will be eligible for exhibition in a physical gallery setting. Such exhibits will be held periodically and will combine these award winners from various Digital Arts: California online exhibits. How often such physical exhibits are held will depend on the volume of entries to their online exhibits as well as other factors.

CALL for ENTRIES: Centering the Margin

Posted on January 1, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

BACON SHMACON

Culinary experimentation is one of my favorite endeavors. I like to think of results in the terms a “margin for interpretation” as opposed to a “margin for error.” No Canadian bacon or english muffin for your eggs benedict? How about brie and roasted garlic loaf. Granted, that interpretation may be on the very periphery of acceptable to some. But maybe, just maybe, that’s the sweet spot. These folks behind this next Call for Entries agree with me. “Varied platforms of concept.” Fun…

Check out this Call for Entries for Centering the Margin, an artist curated show brought to you by Root Division (Sacramento, CA). The entry fee is incredibly low, and the thematic content is fascinating. Don’t miss this one…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Centering the Margin, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Centering the Margin

Centering the Margin is an artist-curated project focusing on artwork that concerns itself with spaces, events, and artifacts that exist just outside of our field of vision and attention. If our contemporary existence is marked by a focus on spectacle and constant stimulation, then Centering the Margin is a show that documents those things that fall outside this focus. These are things that require a change of speed or shift in focus to perceive them.

This show hopes to draw connections between artists concerned with margins, edges and interstitial spaces through diverse approaches and varied platforms of concept, representation and materials.

Works considered for the show could be: 1) pictorial works that represent spaces and moments that are glimpsed fleetingly if at all; 2) process-based works that employ materials that exist solely as vessels for goods or products, or are artifacts of technologies of display and production; or 3) time based works that document forces or phenomena that are barely perceptible or so common as to escape notice. *These are only a few examples.

Editor’s Note: This call is meant to complete a show that currently includes the work of 7 artists including the curator, Anthony Ryan. A total of 15 to 18 artists will be represented in the exhibition. Final selection of works will occur AFTER the Call for Entries process is complete.

ELIGIBILITY: All artists

MEDIA: All media

DEADLINE: January 17, 2012

ENTRY FEE: $10 for 4 images

CURATOR: Artist Anthony Ryan

RAIL road trip

Don’t you want to have a Club sandwich in the Club Car of a long-distance train? It it just me? Admittedly, I just watched White Christmas again. I just watched them all sing “Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow.” Now that I think about it, we never do SEE those sandwiches…just the aftermath. Hmmm… While I ponder the snowy landscape of napkins in that train car, you ponder the “metaphoric landscape of place” in this next Call. Go ponder…

PUPPY
FOOD

Ever eaten a dog biscuit or cat treat? If you didn’t make them yourself, I don’t recommend it.

CALL for ENTRIES: Visualizing

Posted on December 5, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

MOOOOOO….

Buffets make me feel like a cow at a trough. Admittedly, that probably has something to do with my own psychological issues; however, I am not a fan. But if ever I was going to recommend that you go to a buffet line, I would recommend that you try one in Vegas. From award winning chefs to 24-hour access, Vegas buffets offer virtually ANYTHING you could want. Now if what you ate in Vegas only stayed in Vegas, ha. This next show is in Sin City. Take a look…

BRAILLE MENU
anyone?

Eating solely by candlelight is not romantic. When the world is teaching its young boys and girls romantic guestures, the candlelit dinner is among the cliches reinforced repeatedly by television and print ads. Yes, candlelight is lovely and flattering, but not SOLELY candelight. I want to see what I am eating, or about to eat. I want to enjoy the presentation of the food. I DO NOT want to accidentally put a forkfull of wasabi in my mouth by accident. This next Call COULD be all about candlelight. What’s your bright idea?

CALL for ENTRIES: Contemporary Indigeneity

Posted on December 1, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PEARLS of
KNOWLEDGE

When I am cold, I live on soups and stews. Currently, I am cold and dreaming of oyster stew. However, as I frequently complain, my husband is allergic to seafood. So, no oyster stew for me. Do you know who else loved oyster stew? Abraham Lincoln. Fascinating. History isn’t my strong suit; however, I seem to be well-versed on historical food favorites for some reason. Most people know about his pinchot for apples, but not the delectable stew I currently crave. This next call is not about Lincoln, but it is LOCATED in Lincoln. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for Contemporary Indigeneity at the Great Plains Art Museum. This is their first juried show, so let’s show them some support, folks! The entry fee is low, but if you don’t live in the Great Plains area, this will probably require some research on your part.

CALL for ENTRIES: Rocky Mountain Art Books

Posted on November 30, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

A SOUPÇON of
DAYDREAMING

I have been working on a menu for months now. I have virtually no free time. Amongst the art show, music gigs, cooking, cleaning, blogging and family time, there is precious little time for day dreaming. Nonetheless, the soup is always simmering in my mind. I have been working on a menu for a bistro for months in my head. I’m narrowing down the theme and am going to start working on food cost projections soon. Where is the bistro? In my head. Here a chance to spend time putting your daydreams down on paper. This is a great winter project…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Ciao Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming for the Rocky Mountain Art Book Collection. I love this idea. Some of the suggested themes are a hoot (like Goggle Tan), but you can always choose your own them. Take a look…

People in
GINGERBREAD HOUSES…
