CALL FOR ENTRIES: Diversity Portraits

Posted on March 21, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

As artists, we walk often walk the line between creating a commercial niche for ourselves (so that we can eat) and doing the work the work we love (so we can sleep).

Portraiture is often a tough sit-down menu to sell to the average fast food consumer, but there are artists that do it so well…even the pickiest amongst us can’t resist. Here is an opportunity for the artist that just can’t resist a beautifully rendered portrait.

Still Point Art Gallery invites submissions for its upcoming online exhibition: American Portraits: Diversity in Our Land.

Great achievements are not born from a single vision but from the combination of many distinctive viewpoints. Diversity challenges assumptions, opens minds, and unlocks our potential to solve any problems we may face. –Unknown

This exhibition will celebrate diversity in America through the genre of portraiture. Artists are encouraged to think about diversity in America in its broadest sense – ethnicity, race, age, class, religion, and gender…also occupation, national or regional origin, hobbies and interests, regional customs and lifestyles, and more…much more.

To add to the celebratory nature of this exhibition, the Gallery is looking into a variety of opportunities that will put this show before the public. In other words, the Gallery is looking into ways to turn this show into public art. To begin with, the Gallery will assist artists whose work is accepted for the exhibition in getting their work displayed in their local libraries, city or town office buildings, or community centers as part of what could be a national public art exhibition. Other opportunities will be posted as they become finalized. We welcome ideas for making this exhibition a public art exhibition.

Dates and Deadlines

February 21, 2010 – Submissions Open

April 19, 2010 – Submissions Close (Deadline)

May 3, 2010 – Notification of Selection

May 5 through August 10, 2010 – Exhibition (Online)

Eligibility

Open to artists 18 years of age or older from around the world who submit portraiture in any medium except video and wearable art. Submissions must be the creation of the artist. Reproductions of original artwork are not accepted.

Whatever way you choose, images should be saved in jpg format and resized to 72 dpi, less than 1.5 MB, with the maximum dimension of the image being no more (and not much less) than 1000 pixels.

The file name of your image should follow this convention – last name, title of work (perhaps abbreviated), and number (matching entry form number) [for example, SMITH_SUNNYDAY_3.jpg].

Do not include stray characters such as # or * in your file name. Doing so will prevent your file from uploading properly. If you choose to email images, please send them to director@stillpointartgallery.com.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: 6×6 in New York

Posted on March 13, 2010March 13, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

Happy March! Thank you for your patience during my short hiatus. I am back and will return to regular posting during the next 2 weeks.

In the meantime, I received this call today and thought it was a perfect opportunity for those of you ust starting to build a resume–The 3rd Annual 6x6x2010 is a brilliant fundraiser in benefit of the Rochester Contemporary Art Center.

The rules are pretty simple:

You send up to 10 pieces of work sized 6″ x 6″ x no more than 1/4″ deep signed only on the back, and they will be exhibited at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center and sold at $20 each.

No hanging hardware necessary–they use push pins.

Why participate?

1. It is an “all hung” show so you won’t receive a rejection letter.

2. You can add a NY Show to your resume.

3. You get a chance to support the arts while possibly picking up a collector or two.

Here is the call, in brief, with a link to the prospectus at bottom:

6x6x2010 is the third exhibition of thousands of original artworks, made and donated by celebrities, international and local artists, designers, college students, youths and YOU. Each artwork will be 6×6 inches square and signed only on the back, to be exhibited anonymously.

All artworks will be for sale to the public for $20 each, to benefit Rochester Contemporary Art Center. Artists’ names will be revealed to the buyer only upon purchase and all artworks will remain on display for the duration of the exhibition. Don’t miss Rochester’s largest exhibition and don’t miss the chance to show your artwork in great company and support of Rochester’s downtown contemporary art venue.

All submissions are due by May 2 at 5 pm and should be delivered or mailed directly to Rochester Contemporary Art Center. A full list of artists and an online gallery of all contributed artworks will be made available for viewing and purchasing online.

ARTIST OPPORTUNITY: Norwegian Competition

Posted on January 26, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

Sometimes I get to a post via a bizarre and random thought process, but that process can often be just the recipe for a great post.

Today, I was thinking about food–shocking, I know.

I was wondering what to have for dinner and thought salmon sounded good. Salmon makes me think of Norway. Norway sparked the memory of having seen a Call or Announcement or Email of some sort with Norway in the subject line.

And so I rummaged through the files until voila…I think salmon…you get a Competition for the Stavanger Region’s New Concert Hall (in Norway). Enjoy! And don’t forget to drop me a line if you decide to participate in the competition…looks like a great opportunity for a large scale installation!

Solo artists and collaborating groups are invited to take part in this international pre-qualifying round for a lighting project in the New Concert Hall in Stavanger, to be completed in 2012. Please note the postmark deadline is March 6, 2010.

Stavanger New Concert Hall will be of a high international standard, and be centrally situated, close to other cultural institutions and two new music schools in the Bjergsted Park area of the city.

The building is specially designed for musical events, but will also accommodate many other kinds of event for large and small audiences both in the two performance halls inside, and immediately outside in the large amphitheatre.

Through this pre-qualification, the Art Committee is seeking candidates to take part in a limited competition for a significant indoor art project, where light is an important premise. The defined space is in the center of the building; in section, starting on the ground floor outside the Multipurpose Hall, it opens up, traversing five floors.

This part of the Concert Hall has large glass facades on two sides and a selection of materials that contribute to erasing the division between exterior and interior spaces. This openness is important: the art work will be visible from far away and therefore represent the Hall, as well as being a significant element in the whole entrance area and amphitheatre.

Inside, the art project should be a distinctive feature and contribute favourably to the visitor’s impression upon entering this large public space. It is here that the public will best experience the interior dimensions of the Concert Hall.

It is also where audiences will congregate as they progress up and down the stairs. A work of art for this location must have a distinctive character and it must function regardless of the prevailing circumstances, including in daytime or in difficult light conditions.

The pre-qualification presentation should be a maximum of ten A4 pages (on paper, not e-mailed or on CD). The submission should include a presentation of art projects, a CV and practice and relevant experience. The Art Committee also wants to see, in brief, motivation for entering the competition and reason for interest in the project.

No ideas or sketches for this project are wanted at this stage.

The overall art plan for the New Concert Hall in Stavanger, and more information on the art projects, are available at: www.koro.no/stavangerconcerthall

There is more information on the concert hall at: www.konserthus.no

Please mark the presentation material “FOYER” and send it to:

New Concert Hall in Stavanger IKS
Postboks 8001
4068 Stavanger
Norway

Deadline: To be postmarked on or before 1 March 2010.

ARTIST RESOURCE: Health Insurance

Posted on January 25, 2010January 25, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

Have you been under the weather lately but didn’t go to the doctor?

Is an apple a day no longer keeping the doctor away?

Can’t afford health insurance because creating art doesn’t give you the buying power to participate in a group plan like your counterparts in corporate America? Maybe this will help.

A friend and fellow artist sent a link to this site for me to pass along to all of you. It won’t guarantee you health insurance, but it is certainly a good resource to find health insurance. In addition, this site gives you an opportunity to voice your concerns about health care—regardless of your opinion on the matter. Take a look…

The Artists’ Health Insurance Resource Center mission is to make quality, affordable health insurance and health care available to every artist in the United States. AHIRC.org is an up-to-date, comprehensive and unbiased database of health care resources for artists, performers, freelancers and the self-employed.

AHIRC recently launched a new website helping artists get involved in the health care reform debate. At this moment artists have a unique opportunity to improve our quality of life by demanding affordable guaranteed-issue insurance. Visit Artists United to learn more.

The Artists Health Insurance Resource Center has written brief guides on getting affordable health care and health insurance in cities around the country. These guides outline public and private health insurance options in a practical Q & A format. Included are links to pertinent websites and phone numbers of selected clinics and pharmacies.

ART RESIDENCY: The Wassaic Project

Posted on January 15, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

The holidays are over, and the new year has begun. Some of you are feeling trapped by the confines of your studios due to the weather. I have an idea for those of you that just need to get out of the proverbial kitchen. How about a 4 month residency to recharge your artistic batteries?

Fellowships are available for the full cost of The Wassaic Project, so here is the information, hope it helps get you out of the kitchen…

THE WASSAIC PROJECT ARTIST RESIDENCY
2010 Summer Season
Residency Dates: May 1st – August 31st, 2010

The Wassaic Project Residency Program has been created to cultivate and support community for emerging and professional contemporary artists. Housed in a historic re-purposed livestock auction barn, the Residency Program offers eight artists the opportunity to live and work in the heart of a rural community and offers three local artists studio space.

The Wassaic Project seeks a group of artists working in a diverse range of media who want to produce, explore, challenge, and expand on their current art making practices, while participating in a grass roots, community-based arts organization. In the final month of the residency, artists will either complete an installation or contribute work to be included in The Wassaic Project Summer Festival 2010.

STUDIOS + FACILITIES
Artists will receive an adaptable raw studio space in the historic livestock barn. All studios are roughly 300 square feet. Artists will have 24 hour access to their studio and accommodations which include a private bedroom, shared living room / study, dining room, kitchen, and bath.

Artists also have access to workshop facilities as well as the potential for expansion of workshop space. The residency’s workshop facilities will include a modest wood shop, a large format inkjet print room, and a silkscreen studio. We are working to build other workshop facilities and are open to hearing artist’s suggestions.

PROGRAMMING
Participating artists will work intensively to develop, explore, and expand on their practice, meet new peers, and have the opportunity to participate in all of 2010 Summer Programming.

Artists are required to participate in a monthly evening of conversation which will consist of artist’s talks, films, performances, and presentations in the cattle auction ring, followed by a themed round-counter dinner discussion in the luncheonette. These evenings will coincide with open-studios (also required) as well as optional artist-supported community workshops.

APPLICATION

DATES AND DETAILS
Artists must submit their digital application by February 1st, 2010 11:59pm.

The residency includes a studio, accommodation, access to workshop facilities, and all of The Wassaic Project 2010 events. In the final month of the residency, artists will either complete an installation or contribute work to be included in The Wassaic Project Summer Festival 2010. The residency fee is a flat rate of $800 per month per resident.

Local artists who do not need living accommodations are encouraged to apply for studio-only residencies. The fee for a studio-only residency is $400 per month.

Fellowships are available and will be awarded based on demonstrated need as well as the strength of the proposal. Fellowship amounts range from $100/month to full cost.

To apply for a fellowship check the “apply for fellowship” box, and provide a short statement detailing your financial need. Artists receiving fellowships will be expected to donate between 3 – 10 hours of their time per week working for The Wassaic Project, depending on the amount of their fellowship.

Collaborative teams (willing to share a bedroom and studio) may share the cost of enrollment, however, must pay an additional impact fee of $100 per month. Residents are welcome to bring partners to The Wassaic Project Residency but must also pay the additional monthly impact fee. Pets are negotiable and will require an additional fee.

They are open to proposals for one to three month residencies, but we will give priority to four month applicants. Please include your month preferences in your application statement.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Kishwaukee College

Posted on January 6, 2010January 13, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

Winter tends to be a very quiet time for art gallery, and a lot of artists use it as an excuse to do nothing. I’m not letting you off the hook that easy.

Think of winter as the time you spend stocking your pantry. There are lots of galleries and schools searching for artists for future exhibits.

Don’t overlook college and university art shows…These shows look great on your resume and reflect a stamp of academic value to your work that many commercial galleries truly respect.

in addition to looking great on your resume, many colleges and university shows pay honorariums, reimburse shipping costs and often have no entry fee for the submission of proposals.

Here’s a great little show to get you started…

WHERE: Kishwaukee College is located in Malta, Illinois, and they are searching for work for the 2011-2012 season. They accept admissions year ’round, so you’ve got not excuses. Just imagine, if you stock your pantry with goodies like this show, next January you will already have a show to work on during the slow winter months.

Kishwaukee College Art Gallery accepts exhibition proposals on an ongoing basis. The Gallery Committee reviews proposal submissions twice a year to determine the exhibition schedule, typically Late October and early March.

Exhibitions are displayed monthly throughout the academic year. They are currently reviewing proposals for the 2011-2012 schedule. This opportunity is open to all media, including audiovisual.

ABOUT THE GALLERY:

The Art Gallery consists of approximately 924 sq. ft. of floor space; a 26’w x 6’7”h display wall, a 12’w x 13’h display wall, (5) two sided 2’d x 6’w x 8’h portable walls, locking display cases and a number of freestanding display bases. The gallery will be open approximately 20 hours per week and student workers will be present during open hours.

PROPOSAL GUIDELINES:

Proposal materials should include: a PowerPoint presentation with a letter of proposal, 15–20 images of the work to be displayed, a resume/vitae and SASE for return of materials.

ADVERTISING:

Advertising will be provided by the gallery. A press release will be sent to local papers announcing the dates and times for each exhibit and reception, and a brief description of the artists background, medium, and style.

The gallery provides 200 postcard announcements for the artist, in addition to those sent to the gallery mailing list.

SHIPPING:

Artists residing within a reasonable distance (approximately 60 miles) of the college will be responsible for delivering and retrieving their own work. Work must be picked up within five days after the closing of the exhibition.

Kishwaukee College will provide return shipping only to artists residing more than 60 miles from the College. Proper reusable shipping materials are the responsibility of the artist.

SEND PROPOSAL MATERIALS TO:

Michelle Erickson-Goettl, Gallery Director
Kishwaukee College Art Gallery
21193 Malta Road
Malta, IL 60150-9699
Phone: 815-825-2086, ext. 5610

Now I admit that their site is a little dull by artistic standards, but they have an Art-O-Mat machine so I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt. Plus, I love it when you can really see a space before you submit work, and Kishwaukee College gives you that chance. Take a look:
