CALL for ENTRIES: OUTauction

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

OUT
on the
TOWN!

So, a few years back I was in the heart of New York City, sipping a martini at a high-profile auction when it was time for my piece to go up for bid. The bidding started at a very slow pace at around $1000, but as the crowd warmed up, and the bids on my work started climbing… $3000, $4000, $7000. Then it continued to a staggering $10000, $11000, $13000. I was shocked and thrilled, and then… I woke up. This next Call is your chance to make my dream come true for you. There’s a great reason to participate…

O-LIVE YOU!

I am simply over the moon when I my 12-year-old son can be convinced to eat something new…anything new, really. I’m not asking him to eat live sea urchins, sheep brains or anything bizarre.

DEADLINE EXTENDED: Darth Vader’s Helmet

Posted on August 25, 2011August 25, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

ANTIPASTI

I might just love NOT cooking more than cooking. Truth be known, it is the EATING that I love, not the cooking. My sweet husband’s birthday was this week, and a shining example of why I love him… Instead of requesting an elaborately cooked meal that would take hours to prepare, he requested olives, goat cheese, stuffed peppers and Guiness.

CALL for ENTRIES: Edges & Curves

Posted on August 22, 2011August 22, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

IN THE DOG HOUSE

The first food that I truly remember eating was a hot dog topped with American cheese. I was around three years old, and it was called an “Angel Riding Horseback.” Priceless. It came from a restaurant in the Clearwater, Florida area that specialized in hot dogs. Hundreds of hot dogs. If anyone can tell me the name, I’d be thrilled to know. This next call has nothing to do with hotdogs, but you do have to be 40 to enter (or a member of The Haggus Society). And against my better judgement, I am willing to publicly admit that I am drawing close to my 40th birthday. It makes me reminisce… about food. Ridiculous? Certainly. Deal with it.

Check out this Call for Entries from The Haggus Society for Edges & Curves at The Glass Studio in Highland Park, CA. The entry fee is only $12 for 6 images; however, there are age restrictions. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: This is a reminder because I love this show, and in the interest of full disclosure, I am a Hag in good standing. Plus, The Haggus Society is an official sponsor of this site as evidenced by the ad in the right sidebar. I love Hags, and I can admit it.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Edges & Curves

Edges & Curves, Nothing In Between attempts to bust the myth that the older creative has lost her or his edge.

In a youth oriented society, the conventional wisdom is that the younger artist is the risk taker and rule breaker. And while those who would follow conventional wisdom believe we soften as we get older, there are those who actually hone their edges to craft a message with more bite and risk because of their station in life.

ELIGIBILITY: This event is open to any artist 40 years and older.

MEDIA: 2D (no larger than 32″ x 44″) or small 3D (no larger than 14″ x 10″ x 8″)

DEADLINE: Midnight September 1, 2011

NOTIFICATION: Artist email notification September 10, 2011

ENTRY FEE:
$12 submission fee for 6 images

SALES:
The Haggus Society retains 40% of all sales.

ABOUT THE SPONSOR: The Haggus Society is a group catering to creative feminists over the age of 40 who share a vision of empowering Woman’s position in the arts and society via the support of cultural acts and practices as well as direct action. The Haggus Society is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the purposes of The Haggus Society must be made payable to Fractured Atlas and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

PRIMED for YOU!

What food does New York conjure for you? I have covered a lot of New York Calls on this blog and have made food references to pizza, hot dogs, vendor carts and even Ethiopian food. Somehow, I have overlooked steak. New York is home to some of the finest steakhouses in the world. So, when you attend the opening of this show, make sure you seek out a great prime rib in my honor. Take a look…

COLD
CAFFEINE…
with a pinch

Sometimes it takes just a pinch of an ingredient to make a dish complete. Have you ever tasted something delectable and said, “What IS that flavor?” I have theories of my own including nutmeg in diet Coke. But not all special ingredients are a secret. Pesto requires basil, but I prefer walnuts to pine nuts, and an art career requires publication…and a website. If you have a website, this could be the nutmeg in your diet Coke. If you don’t have a website, here’s another reason to invest…

Check out this Opportunity from ArtistADay.com to be a Featured Artist! There is no entry fee, membership is free, and you could win a feature post with links back to your website, but you have to have a website. And no, they don’t sell website service, ha. You’ve got nothing to lose…

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Artist a Day

The mission of Artist A Day is to raise awareness of fine art globally, through establishing personal connections between professional Artists and people who love Art.

From their perspective Artists are often under-valued, under-exposed, and under-appreciated. Through their membership base (free) of over one million people, they are able to bring immediate and lasting attention for Artists who would otherwise remain under-exposed.

“Very simply, if we can expose one person to a work of art they would have otherwise missed, we have made a contribution to the art community. With a million people, that contribution grows exponentially.” –artistaday.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists, but you MUST have a website. They are selective of the Artists they showcase, and the body of work they represent. In fact, they only showcase one or two works by the Artist that serve as an entry point for their members to explore that artist further, both on and offline.

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: Ongoing

ENTRY FEE: There is no entry fee.

AWARDS: A feature post including two images and links back to an artist’s personal website. Editor’s note: Testimonials from previously featured artists indicate that the surge in traffic flow to their sites is significant.

CALL for ENTRIES: Yosemite Renaissance

Posted on August 12, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CHARTREUSE
ANYONE?

Does your family eat green or eco-friendly? My family has made progress toward going the eco-friendly green route in baby steps over the past few years both in our culinary exploits and energy consumption. However, I’ll admit that it rarely occurs to me to use my art to contribute to environmental awareness. I will do a lot of things to save the environment, just don’t ask me to drink the juice, ugh. This next call gives you the opportunity to use art to help protect Yosemite…

Check out the Call for Entries for the 27th Annual Yosemite Renaissance Exhibit. You can enter one piece for as little as $15 and help protect Yosemite National Park in new generations with your unique interpretation. It’s good to be green…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Yosemite Renaissance XXVII

Yosemite Renaissance is an annual competition and exhibition which is intended to encourage diverse artistic interpretations of Yosemite.

Its goals are to bring together the works of serious contemporary artists that do not simply duplicate traditional representations; to establish a continuum with past generations of Yosemite artists; and to help re-establish visual art as a major interpretive medium of the landscape and a stimulus to the protection of the environment.

Historically, the arts have played a very important role in the establishment of our State and National Parks. It is the hope of Yosemite Renaissance that they can be just as important in future efforts to preserve and protect that heritage.

ELIGIBILITY: The Yosemite Renaissance XXVII competition is open to all living artists. Subject matter is limited to recent works on the landscape, environment, wildlife and people of Yosemite or the environment of the Sierra. Both representational and non-representational submissions are accepted.

MEDIA: Original artwork may be in any medium. Size is limited to works that can be shipped in containers not exceeding maximum U.P.S. dimensions of 130 inches, length and girth combined. Triptychs or other multi-image pieces (exhibited under one title) should not exceed 48 x 48.”

LIMITS: Each artist is limited to eight entries. No more than two entries from any artist will be included in the exhibit.

DEADLINE: November 10, 2011

NOTIFICATION: Late December

ENTRY FEE: There is a non-refundable entry/handling fee of $15.00 for each entry. Payment must accompany your entry submissions. Your check or money order should be made payable (only in U.S. dollars) to Yosemite Renaissance, Inc. One check may cover several entries from one artist (up to the eight entries allowed per artist).

JURORS: The Board of Directors of Yosemite Renaissance (consisting of artists, curators and administrators) will make the initial selection of works for the exhibition. Cash award-winners will be selected by independent judges to be announced.

AWARDS: At least $4,000 in cash awards will be distributed at the discretion of the judges. Purchase awards may be given as well. A special award of $300 will be given to the best piece inspired by Hetch Hetchy (pictured below) that the jurors select to be included in the exhibit.

CALL for ENTRIES: Art & Psyche

Posted on August 10, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

LAY ME DOWN…
on chocolate

It has been suggested that I seek professional help for my food obsession. However, like any well-seasoned food addict, I prefer to think of myself as food-educated or food-curious, not just food-obsessed. I’m certain a psychoanalyst could figuratively feast on my many stufffed, food-related issues. Where’s the couch? (Speaking of couches, check out the cake couch entitled “You Can’t Have Your Cake and Eat It Too”, the chocolate couch was created by Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich for an art-exhibit appropriately named “Let Them Eat Art”.) Maybe this next call would give me some insight. Never miss an opportunity to self-analyze, ha…

Check out this Call for Entries from JF Gallery (West Palm Beach, FL) for Art & Psyche. The entry fee is a little high for the full three entries, but the commission is only 35%. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Art & Psyche

The exhibit will be held September 30 – October 29, 2011 and is open to any artist submitting original works of art in a wide range of media and genre depicting or representing the various Psychoanalytic Approaches to Art.

ORANGE you…
TEMPTED?

We’ve all been told not to play with our food. And, none of us really understood why parents made this blanket statement. As an adult, I still don’t understand why. If my kid wants to play with his food then have to eat it while it is cold… well, those are his lumps in his potatoes, not mine. Apparently, I’m not alone in valuing the play-value of food. Take a look at a great book called Food Play by Joost Elffers and Saxton Freymann (not paid sponsors, I assure you). This next Call certainly encourages you to play, but not necessarily with your food. Investigate for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Toys: Re-Invent, Re-Imagine, Re-Discover. This show offers a GREAT OPPORTUNITY for holiday art sales. Don’t miss this…

CALL for ENTRIES:
TOYS, Re-Invent, Re-Imagine, Re-Discover

This exhibit seeks works of art that use toys and children’s playthings as the inspiration, subject matter, and/or medium with the goal of creating playful, amusing, nostalgic, or poignant commentaries on the role of toys in our lives. Many of us hold fond memories of special toys that yielded hours of entertainment and can vividly remember when a treasured toy was lost, broken, stolen, or otherwise retired.

For these reasons and more, toys can be a powerful art medium, conjuring up both treasured and difficult memories of childhood, past friendships, and other recollections. From the utterly outrageous to the sappy and sentimental, this exhibit will include all media, small to large scale. The exhibit will be installed in the Main Gallery of the Arts Building, but a small number of outdoor works will be considered for the Sculpture Garden. The jury seeks works that are engaging, and fun, and above all, playful!

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to artists age 18 and older working in the U.S.

MEDIA: All media types are welcome; small to large scale; indoors and outdoors.

DEADLINE: August 26, 2011

NOTIFICATION: Via email on or before September 2, 2011

ENTRY FEE: Artists must submit a $25 non-refundable entry fee for up to four entries. Entry fee must be paid by check, money order, or credit card. Each entry must be submitted with three images of the artwork, including one overall view of the artwork, one detail shot, and one installation shot. There is a returned check fee of $25.

JUROR: Andrew Wodzianski, Professor of Art, Division of Communication, Art & Humanities, College of Southern Maryland

AWARDS: Annmarie will present cash awards to outstanding work. Jurors will review installed works (not application images) for award selection. If possible, selection will occur prior to the exhibit opening and awards will be presented at the opening reception. Award amounts are contingent upon sponsorship; typically there are at least three awards ranging from $250-$750 each. All award winning artists will receive an invitation for a solo or group show.

SALES: Works selected for exhibition cannot be removed before the end of the exhibition. Should a sale resulting from the exhibition occur, Annmarie will retain a 40% commission of the listed sale price.
