I’ve been rejected personally, professionally and artistically… and they all suck. On rare occaison, I take the artistic rejection personally. I’ve been known to hold a grudge. I’ll omit the name, but let’s just say there IS a gallery out there that rejected four of my pieces for four different shows in ONE year. You won’t find their Calls on this site EVER.
Bitter? Maybe a little.

I love Halloween. I love pumpkin pancakes and candy corn. And the season to consume them both is just around the corner. I am also a fan of all the retro-inspired graphics that surround this time of the year – smiley pumpkins and figurines of little kids covered in white sheets as the cutest ghosts that ever existed. However, I am fascinated by all the dark imagery that surrounds the season as well.

I adore themed work, and I’m just narcissistic enough to love an autobiographical theme even more, ha. As artists we’re programmed to put our demons and dirty laundry on display, but what about the sometimes subtle undertones that influence your work…like where you’re from. Seems simple as pie, right? Maybe, maybe not.
Check out this great Call for Entries from the Lander Art Center in Wyoming named As It Turns Out, I’m from… whose idea is to connect your work to roots of childhood or home or whatever works for you. The deadline for entries is September 8th, and there are $1000 in prizes up for grabs!
At a conference where an artist once spoke about her work in detail, the audience laughed out loud when halfway through she said, “As it turns out, I’m from Pittsburgh.” After learning so much about her artwork it seemed perfectly fitting that her large steel sculptures would be influenced by this historically industrial city.
Many of us make an exodus at some point in our lives– to seek out a life of our own. Those who don’t make an exodus might gladly identify with their background. Either way, our roots often appear in subtle and interesting ways even if we don’t intend for it to happen or notice until later.
THE THEME: The object is to connect your artwork to your roots. The connection may be as simple as the artist mentioned above from Pittsburgh who makes large steel sculptures. Or it may be a connection more direct like painting place related childhood memories or using found objects from your hometown. The interpretation of the connection is in the hands of the artist. Your “home” can be a city, state, country, culture or even a state of mind. Whatever the connection, the Lander Art Center wants you to discover it and share it.
PRIZES: $1000 in prizes are up for grabs! $500 1st Prize, $300 2nd Prize, & a $200 3rd prize
JUROR: Cheryl Delong of Global Arts Gallery, located in Lander, will be the juror.
COMMISSION: The commission on sold artwork is 40%. Selling art is a priority for the LAC. We prefer art that is for sale, but it is not a requirement for show entry.

Need a little inspiration? I turn to food, and I suspect that comes as a surprise to not a one of you. I miss paella de marisco —which ceased to be an option when my husband developed an allergy to shellfish…but I digress.
Instead of turning to seafood paella–which will only make your rear end larger and, if you’re like me, leave you feeling guilty–think Spain…no, really. Check out this opportunity for an Artist Residency Opportunity in the heart of Barcelona brought to you by the art lovers and supporters at homesession.org!
Where? The flat is a modern loft situated in the center of Barcelona, just near Montjuic Park, 10 minutes walking from the historic center. The area is quiet, lively and “authentic”. There are 2 metro lines. It is a 92 square meter flat with two patios (+ 15 square meters each).
What? The idea of this residency is based on a real integration to local life: the artist shares the flat with the founders of the project: Jerome Lefaure and Olivier Collet. They receive artists for short residencies, up to one month. Of course, the artist has his own keys during his stay.
They have sets, tripods and spotlights for photography and provide support for local contacts, equipments and eventual research of performers, locations, materials. The residency is mainly dedicated to creation, but they often organize a presentation of the work, that makes for a greater interaction with the local art community.
Accomodation: Sharing a flat enables the artist to enjoy freedom as well as better integration with the local life and cultural scene. The private place for the artist is a closed alcove (5,5 Sq. m.) with a double sofa/bed, opening on the kitchen/living room. In the living room, a desk is reserved for the artist; Internet access is available in the whole flat.
Common equipment:
– broadband internet access
– kitchen, refrigerator, micro-wave, washer, oven, dining table chairs etc.
– bathroom, washing machine
– television, video, videoprojector, radio, CD player
– air conditioning / radiant floor heat
Residency as an interchange: They want the residency to be a real opportunity for the artist and are prepared to be a link toward spanish artists and the local artistic community, in terms of making possible collaborations, four-handed creations or artistic events depending on the artist’s interests. Open studio and gallery exhibitions are organized if possible during or at the end of the residency.
Conditions of the residency, fees and living expenses: Due to the limitations of the flat, they only provide residency to one artist each period. The residency is planned for a short period (maximum: one month), and it is possible for a same artist to apply for two residencies.
The do not charge any residency fees to the artists. As an interchange, they ask the artist to give them a piece of artwork at the end of the residency. The artist will also finance their own living expenses as well as the trip to Barcelona on their own.
– a resume in english, french or spanish
– a cover letter or description of a specific project in english, french or spanish
– 10 to 20 pictures of your artwork. For videos: < 6 Minutes
The thing I love most about being an artist is the creation of the work, but a close second is belonging to a community of artists. Most artists are happy to have a local group of close knit creative types with which to share, and I am overwhelmingly fortunate to have all of you. Okay, I’m tearing up more than when I chop onions, folks.
My point is…while many of us already have an artist family, we must remember that families have to grow or the lineage will end. I have a friend in NYC who is trying to expand her fold. Tryst Collective is looking for locals for a show called “BP’s Black Plague,” but never say never…send ’em your stuff because you just never know what could happen.
NYC-based arts group, the Tryst Collective, is looking for artists, photographers, sculptors, crafters, musicians, etc. who would like to be a part of a *one-night* group show – an art, music, and networking event.
This is the first installment of a series of themed Trsyt shows that will be held throughout the year. This particular show—BP’s Black Plague: a response in art and music— is centered around the reactions and responseswithin the creative community to the BP oil spill and/or our nation’s oil dependence.
Jessica Rowshandel writes, “We are still waiting for the date, but we are aiming for mid to late Sept. We are looking for local people who can get to the venue the night of the show since it’s a D-I-Y sort of thing.
“The venue is R Bar New York City, which is located at 218 Bowery Street, New York NY 10012. The event will be ticketed.
Artists and musicians are encouraged to sell their work and network -making money and new connections.
“We do not take any commission. We ask that the participants invite friends/followers because we need to pay for the space through ticket sales and more importantly, we are building a community.
“This is a very grassroots group and is held in nontraditional arts space, so participants should expect that. The venue allows us to hang work and we also have presentation and table easels. There will be a cash bar.”
If interested, please email them at: trystcollective@gmail.comwith samples of your work and a little about yourself.
As I frequently shout from the mountain top, I love portraiture. I love faces, specifically. But when I began my Psychomachia project with Arizona artist Jerry Portelli, he challenged me to limit my use of faces and to concentrate on other figurative depictions. The process started on a sour note but has ended up pretty sweet…a lemon drop, if you will.
Maybe “Figuratively Speaking,” the National Call for Entries from the Emerging Young Artist (EYA) Organization and the Village Gallery in Montgomery, AL, will be your lemon drop, too. The entry fee is a reasonable $35, and the Best of Show winner will get a solo show at the Village Gallery. You know you want the show…so go for it.
“Figuratively Speaking” is not limited to the traditional/contemporary aspects of the human forms, conditions, interactions, and abstractions of the human body. “Figuratively Speaking” includes figuration in contemporary design in terms of shapes, lines, and colors.
Artwork by Caio Fernandez

No surprise…it is hard to put artists in categories. However, if I were going to force myself to do so, I would mention that some artists are very retail oriented and others just want to produce work with substance and meaning (often known only to themselves). And, as you know…it is the ultimate artists’ chicken-or-the-egg argument. Fight amongst yourselves.
I love artwork that leaves me pondering meaning and crawling into the subtle nuance of every aesthetic choice; but, a hand-bound journal with hand-cut pages and a surprise on every page is artwork that function inside the daily workings of my life. Want to sell your artwork? Check out this Open Call from Peaceful Products. They want to help you sell your art, and they don’t take commission. Yep, you heard me…they ask that you donate a portion of the proceeds to the charity of your choice. Take a Look:
Peaceful Products is an organization that is dedicated to making a difference by helping others in need. They do this by donating profit from the artwork and products sold on their site. Peaceful Products is founded by artist and autism specialist Emily Boulger.

When it comes to food, I’m not a fan of participatory requirements at restaurants. I’m not a fan of hibachi. I have no desire to have a chef flip shrimp into my mouth…call me crazy. Fondue may be my only exception to that rule. Nonetheless, I celebrate participatory arts.
