CASH for PUPPIES

When someone parts with their hard-earned cash, you can consider their purchase a compliment in the highest regard.  Ultimately, I cannot trust my first food sales because I suspect my puppy dog eyes were a bigger factor than the taste of my lemonade.  But many years later, my husband Jon and I were proud to sell gourmet hotdogs in a little downtown store front.  The poodle (a turkey dog with feta and red-wine cucumber relish) remains my proudest culinary sale.   This next call could result in the sale of your artwork, a high compliment that could leave you with extra dough for hot dogs!

Check out this Call for Entries from Dave Bown Projects for their 2nd SemiAnnual Competition.  This is your chance to win one of seven $1000 cash awards PLUS the chance to sell your work.  There are no media restrictions… so no excuses!

ARTIST RESIDENCY: Torpedo Factory Art

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!PICKLE ME TINK!

I almost moved to Paducah, Kentucky.  When I was deciding where to move, I tripped across their Artist Relocation Program.  I visited Paducah and FELL IN LOVE with a huge pickle/tamale factory from the early 1900s.  Fate interceded, and I ended up in Gatlinburg.  But, I find myself drawn to factories over and over again.  This Call for Applications details another great use for an old factory. 

Art is so cool.

UPDATE: The Soap Factory Open Call

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!I AM PROUD 

Many of you submitted work to The Soap Factory Open Call.  That is reason enough for me to be proud.  However, I am even more proud that so many of you followed rule #2 of How to CookA watched pot never boils

Despite the fact that the Call said they would notify in March, many of you are antsy and want to know more.  Instead of calling or emailing the gallery, you emailed me.  No problem.  I publicly stated that I was submitting, and I did.  So, I understand why you would email me wondering if I had been notified regarding my entry.

Well, I had reason to converse with Lillian Egner, the Program and Volunteer Manager for The Soap Factory regarding a different call that I will post this week, and I asked, “Is the open call still notifying in March?  My readers are excited and just want to know.”  Here is her reply:

“They will be notified in March, you’re right. We’re actually in the process of sorting through those submissions this week. There are several sessions of sorting and discussion. There are some terrific entries. Thank you so much for all of the support you provide for these open calls. Its one of the things I like best about working at The Soap Factory, but we couldn’t do it without awesome sites like yours.”

“If people have questions you can tell them this. Everyone, yeses and nos are all contacted. So no one will be left wondering. We do the majority of notification by email.”

Bravo to The Soap Factory!

 

In addition to providing stipends and some travel expenses to artists, they also still take the time to notify everyone.  There is a disturbing new trend amongst a few galleries to just post the results on the gallery’s webpage, and I don’t like it.  If you can take my money, you can take the time to send me an email.  So, thank you to The Soap Factory for caring.

Make sure you all email me with the results– good or not so good!  And remember, rejection letters can get you a free entry to the $2 Art Contest!

Have a Great Day!

CALL for ENTRIES: Supersize

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!A CLEAN PLATE

One of my favorite parts of fine dining is the amuse bouche.  There is something about knowing that you are only going to get one taste, one bite of a delicious dish that makes you savor the experience.  It is no wonder that the many of the best foods I have ever tasted were an amuse bouche.  This next Call for Entries invites you to do exactly the opposite…wallow in the excess of the supersized.

CALL for ENTRIES: Supersize: Bigger is Better?

Download the About Face Prospectus!What fuels our fascination with obscene quantities and obsessive amounts?  From supersized to overstuffed, from bulk to buy-one-get-one, we are in a constant quest for more, more, more; yet we decry the after-effects of over-consumption.  How do artists interpret these ideas in their work?  This exhibition explores the art of the supersized.  The jury seeks work that tackles the absurdity of art and life on a grand-scale.  From humorous depictions to critical commentary, the jury seeks work that address these issues through their scale, proportion, and witty approach.

Supersize will be installed in the spacious Mezzanine Gallery of Annmarie Sculpture Garden’s Arts Building. With over 4000 sq ft of exhibition space, moveable walls, high ceilings, tile floors, an Arakawa hanging system, Internet access, and electricity, the Mezzanine Gallery can accommodate all sizes and types of installations.  As Annmarie includes a thirty acre sculpture garden, outdoor works will also be included in Supersize.

DEADLINE: March 31, 2011 is the deadline for your application.

Learn more about the Supersize show at the Annmarie Sculpture Garden!NOTIFICATION: Artists will be notified of final acceptance status via email by April 14, 2011.

CALL for ENTRIES: 2011 Sequim Arts Juried Show

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!TUNA, LAMB & PIZZA
EVERYDAY

As much as I love food, I truly despise making the decision about what to eat meal after meal.  And no one, except my 11 year old, will say what they really want to eat.  My husband always wants fish, but he couches it in “I want something lighter, healthier.”  I usually want something exotic or rich or covered in sauce, but I usually start with “why don’t we treat ourselves tonight?”  But not my kid.  What does he want for dinner?  Pizza and Swiss Cake rolls.  Every meal, everyday… just ask him.  The juror for this next Call knows what he wants too.  Take a look…

Cab E Net by Juror Mike McCollumJUROR:  Mike McCollum was born in Hoquiam, Washington but acquired many of his artistic sensibilities from the San Francisco Bay Area. “While at UC Berkeley I apprenticed with Peter Voulkos assisting him with 3 major outdoor sculptures.”

“Abstract expressionism is one of my primary influences and I am enamored with the idea of ‘arriving at’ rather than ‘aiming at.’   I want to surprise myself. My job as an artist is to make decisions–what to leave in and what to take out. I see art as a process of reduction–getting rid of the chaff and striving for the essence of the idea. In my career I have worked in many mediums — bronze, ceramics, drawing, painting, printmaking and wood. I start with a basic idea and then it’s a matter of rescuing that idea from all the contrived directions it may take me.”

ABOUT SEQUIM ARTS:  Sequim Arts is a non-profit arts organization located on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state, with Mount Olympus to the south and Victoria, British Columbia across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north.  Sequim Arts was established in 1969.  Many of their artists are nationally recognized and all members benefit from their local community’s appreciation and support.
