LAST DAY for JULY $2 Art Contest

Posted on July 31, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

LAST CHANCE for July

I just wanted to post a short reminder that today is the last day of the $2 Art Contest for July. We’ve had enough entries so far to make the July contest interesting, but I haven’t reviewed ANY of the work yet. If you get to this post after the deadline, don’t worry…there’s always August.

If you want to read the reasoning behind the monthly $2 Art Contest, visit the page. But remember…if you want to be considered for the July Featured Artist, the deadline is July 31st at midnight EST. If you miss the deadline, don’t worry…you’ll be automatically entered in the August contest.

You can’t buy your way onto ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, but here are the tangible benefits to you for your $2 if you are chosen for a feature post.

Benefits of Entering the $2 Art Contest:

The distinct honor of being a FEATURED ARTIST of the MONTH on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com . 🙂
A permanent inbound link from the post to multiple pages on your website (if you have one) from this site which has a Google Page Rank of 4 (as of 07/01/2010) which helps your website’s visibility on the web.
Additional permanent inbound links from a new Featured Artist page to your website (if you have one) from this site which has a Google Page Rank of 4 (as of 07/01/2010) which helps your website’s visibility on the web.
A 300×300 pixel ad (created by me) for occasional use in other blog posts throughout the month in which you are featured (and beyond–at my discretion)

I hope you agree…It could be the best $2 you ever spend.

Why $2? I’m not trying to get rich off the artwork of my readers by producing ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, but it would be nice to pay the hosting fees and software occasionally. $2 is a ridiculously low fee FOR ANYTHING. You see a benefit, and ArtAndArtDeadlines.com gets to promote great art and great artists. Simple.

The $2 Art Contest Guidelines are easy:

FEE: Send $2 to submitart@artandartdeadlines.com via PayPal.com and record the transaction # when you’re finished. Don’t worry…it is part of the confirmation email they send you.

SUBMISSION: Email me the PayPal transaction #, a handful of pics, a bio and whatever you think I need to form an accurate opinion of your work. If all of the information I need is on your website, just send me the link to the site. There are no restrictions…You can win EVERY month, so just keep entering.

DEADLINE: The deadline is the last day of each month. The artist chosen will be notified by the 7th of each month, and the FEATURED ARTIST of the MONTH blog will be posted by the 15th of each month.

DISCLAIMERS: ArtAndArtDeadlines.com reserves the right to publish work of artists whose work we love–entry fee or not; however, a winner will be chosen each month from paid entries. Additional posts are at my discretion. P.S. Don’t expect to get a ribbon in the mail.

The permanent $2 Art Contest Page is accessible through the top and side navigation areas so that you can find it again and again.

Email me if you have any questions.

CALL for ENTRIES: Art to Die For

Posted on July 30, 2010July 30, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

ART OF DEATH

I avoid all talk of death and mortality, in general. My fondest hope is that we I finally slow down long enough to die…instead of a wake or funeral, my loved ones will plan an elaborate seven course meal for those nearest and dearest to my heart (and stomach).

I have been avoiding all acknowledgment of the aging process when at all possible. However, the subject has started to creep into my work occasionally…we’ll call it a PREMATURE middle-aged crisis. Here’s a great call for entries from Gallery 5 in Richmond, Virgina called Momento Mori that explores how you guys are approaching the subject of death and mortality in your work. Check it out…

Call for Entries: Memento Mori

Gallery5 is now accepting proposals and visual submissions for Momento Mori, an exhibition that considers death and ephemerality in the modern era.

MEDIA: Both two-dimensional and 3-demensional works are welcome.

CALL for Entries: Dreamland

Posted on July 29, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

DREAMS INTERPRETED

My best friend, Toni Morton, is a fruit loop, an organic one, but a fruit loop nonetheless. Since we were in college she been into lots of touchy, feely, spirtually-connected “stuff.” Now she’s all green and granola-crunchy. I respect her right to believe in whatever she likes…I even love her for it, and I am occasionally swayed by her green logic. But admittedly, I love giving her a hard time about it too, ha.

This Call for Entries for Artists in Dreamland has that sort of soft, squishy, mystical vibe. Get in touch with your dreams folks…you can do it. Here’s the Call for Art Entries:

Call for Entries: ARTISTS IN DREAMLAND

This is a unique opportunity for our visitors to walk through a visual dream diary of the exhibiting artists.

Eligibility: Original artwork inspired by dreams or series of dreams in the night. Both the art pieces and the dream that inspired the creation of the art are juried. The most important criterion is how the art piece is connected to a dream or series of dreams, to fit into the theme of the exhibit.

3. Images of the artwork are to be digital; either JPG or PDFs will be accepted.

4. Every piece of art is exhibit ready and/or ready to hang. No sawtooth hangers.

Posted on July 28, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I received a group of Calls for Entries (none of them regional) all from the same organization, the Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville (TN). I have entered two of the four shows before and was juried into both.

CALL for Entries: Shift for Change

Posted on July 27, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

SNICKERS

You know how I love a theme. I hear the snickers…I am proud to love a theme. I once had an art critic wonder aloud (in print anyway) if my love for a theme didn’t occasionally cloud my curatorial vision. Ouch, right?

Here’s a great Art Show Theme…Shift…Change…Movement. Any interpretation you fancy will be fine for this Call for Entries from the BECA Foundation. Check it out:

CALL for ENTRIES: The Map as Art

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

ART ON THE GO

In our mobile world, it seems that all of life revolves around fast food, GPS and mobile phones. Maps have become a rarely used–and lately a little understood–artform.

When I think of maps as an artform, I think of the fantastical maps of Canadian Artist Shane Watt. (Ironic considering the call is limited to US Artists). So, I was really excited to find this Call for Entries from Sebastopol Center for the Arts celebrating the Map as Art.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Mapworks

Sebastopol Center for the Arts invites artists living in the United States to submit work to Mapworks: the Map as Art. SCA is looking for art which references maps and mapmaking.

This may be done directly or indirectly, metaphorically, or conceptually. The terrain may be (but is not limited to) geographic, psychological, political, historical, cultural, mathematical, imaginary, or personal.

All media is acceptable, including installation. Video and film should be submitted as a DVD in loops no longer than 4 minutes; selected artists will need to supply their own equipment for display.

JUROR: Kim Anno is a painter, bookmaker, collaborator and Professor and Chair of Painting, at the California College of the Arts, San Francisco. Her advocacy of the arts has enjoined her talents as curator, artist-in-residence, juror, lecturer, and interviewer. In addition, her diverse practice has led her into important collaborations with writers, visual and performance artists.

DEADLINE: Hand-delivered entries will be accepted at SCA on Monday, August 30, between 3 and 6 pm. Entries by jpegs on CD must arrive by 5 pm, on or by that date. Please see prospectus for complete guidelines.

ENTRY FEES:

SCA members, $10 per entry or 3 entries for $25 (membership is $40 annually).

Nonmembers, $15 per entry, or 3 entries for $40. Maximum, 3 entries per artist.

PRINTMAKERS DESERVE
TO EAT CHEESE!

We always want what we can’t have. I want to live on blue cheese, but my family has explain that it isn’t really an option. Printmakers want shows to enter…and it really should be an option.

CALL for ENTRIES: TOYS

Posted on July 23, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I love toys.

As an adult, there are two things for which I am always trying to invent excuses…eating dessert for breakfast…and buying cool artistic toys. I have been rationalizing away “bressert” (as we call it in my house) for years, but now I have a great reason to buy toys…research.

The Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock has a Call for Entries out for the 37th Annual Toys Designed by Artists show with Purchase Awards totaling $2500. The toys don’t have to be functional and is open to all artists internationally–not just regionally. Take a look…

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Toys Designed by Artists

Toys may be functional, nonfunctional, child friendly, child proof, too delicate or scary to touch, or begging for tactile tinkering. Successful entries are creative, original, featuring excellence of design and superior craftsmanship.

DEADLINE: September 13, 2010

JUROR: The juror for 2011 is Jim Bartz. Bartz has a BFA in Illustration from The Choinard Art Institute (now Cal Arts) in Los Angeles and as a working toy artist has taught in Northern California for 35 years. He is an active member in The Puppeteers of America.
