CALL for ENTRIES: Persona DUE MONDAY

Posted on August 14, 2011August 14, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

STUFFED like a SARDINE!

Am I still the only one that wonders what their food portrait would be? I don’t think so anymore. After my last posting of that questions, I got lots of replies with your food portrait match. My favorite came from a youth hostel in Europe…sardines. Quarters must be tight. Sardines are glorious in Caesar salad, make delightful sushi and melt in your mouth on pizza. This is a Reminder Call that encourages you to share your best wacky portraits. Will yours involve sardines? Surprisingly, mine doesn’t involve food…

Check out this Call for Entries for Persona from Darkroom Gallery in Essex Junction,Vermont. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget to tell the folks at Darkroom that you heard about them from www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
Persona

“We’re looking for something beyond the traditional portrait – more than just a eloquently captured face. We’re looking for uncanny, parody, distortions, subtle suggestions and in-your-face implications. For “Persona” we’re looking for portraits devised outside the box (or in one, might also be applicable in certain circumstances!) – we want to see the characters you’ve captured.

“There can more to a superb portrait than a superb likeness of an individual a the testimony to their soul can be visioned way beyond the eyes. How much can you tell us about a person with just one image? Their life story? Perhaps. How did you show the idiosyncrasies, quirks, that make your sitters both physically and emotionally, individuals? We can’t wait to fill our gallery walls with a newly visioned kind of face – portrait as character and caricature.”
JUROR: The portraits of Chris Buck have been surprising us, making us laugh, causing us to ask questions, and inspiring us to think outside of the box for years. His brand of image making (over two decades worth) infuses wit with uncommon gesture and implied meaning. He tells more than a story – he creates tales (sometimes through pure expression). Chris was the first recipient for the Arnold Newman Portrait Prize (2007), which we think he so rightfully deserved! His clients include IBM, Microsoft, Moviefone, Citibank, GQ, Blender and The New York Times Magazine. From uncanny celebrity portraits, to advertising humor, to editorial wisdom, Chris Buck has offered us a very special take on our world of Personas.

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Artist A Day

Posted on August 13, 2011August 13, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

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: Off the Cuff

Posted on August 11, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

MUSTARD
du jour?

Spontaneous food creation is my favorite kitchen activity. There is nothing more exciting than finding a use for dijon mustard when it is the last seasoning you have left because you haven’t had time to make it to the grocery store this week. By the way, dijon mustard makes an excellent oil-free way to thicken homemade salad dressings. This next call asks you to submit your best spontaneous, unrehearsed photography for exhibition. I love this idea…

Off the Cuff

Off the Cuff: The Spontaneous and Unrehearsed will demonstrate the complex and varied roles photography employs as a witness and an accomplice in seeing the world. Relating to both the genres of street photography and performance art, these images may collectively portray chance encounters, improvisations, decisive moments in the height of action, and documents of occurrences. Without premeditation, the photographer captures what arises – acting as the mediator between the photograph and events as they unfold.

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…

CALL for ENTRIES: Toys Toys Toys

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.

BEANS to NUTS

You know what I haven’t eaten in years? Boston Baked Beans candy. Remember those red, candy coated peanuts you used to love? They don’t really look like boston baked beans to me, although I do suppose they have one thing in common the their more savory counterpart… a dose of protein that is well-hidden in sugar. Well, you don’t have to go to the Boston area to get either of these culinary treats; however, it might be a goofy distraction while you are in town for your show opening once you apply to this next Call.

SUGARY
GREEN-NESS

Remember when green beens were everyone’s “go to” vegetable? They were in every frozen meal and stocked in everyone’s pantry for a quick addition to any meal. I suspect that’s how they got their bad reputation with kids. I have noticed lately that sugar snap peas seem to be the new green beans. Luckily, I love them, and kids seem to like the fact that they are a little sweeter than tried-and-true green beans. Deciding to enter this next exhibition should be (you guessed it)… a snap.

SAY AHHHHHH!

I believe that you are what you eat. I have personally witnessed a change in my own health based on the food choices I have made. But sometimes there is a large divide between saying it and doing it.

Illness is soothed in my house by cardboard pizza, chips and onion dip and processed chocolate cakes. Yum. Hey, don’t knock ’til you’ve tried it. This Call is your opportunity to express YOUR point of view about healing. Physician, heal thyself…

As I have mentioned on so many occasions, I love kitchen gadgets. I love everything from 1940s egg scales to the idea of a torch for carmelizing creme brulee.
