CALL for ENTRIES: Voyages

Posted on September 26, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

wheat or
WHEAT-OUT YOU

I have been on a personal voyage for the past 9 months, and there is no end in sight. My father died in December, betrayed by his body and love of food that didn’t love him back. My grandmother struggles with Alzheimer’s and the loss of both her memory and her appetite. I have been battling my health and grappling with the loss of my decades-long love affair with wheat. I can’t help but believe that it is all a voyage taking me to some unknown path that will be my future. The voyage has already spurred new art. Let the theme of this next Call take you on your own personal voyage. Don’t miss the opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries for Voyages from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry fee is very reasonable, and the theme is a classic regardless of distance or perspective. Take a look…

For Voyages, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images of your explorations away from home.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

FOR YOU

Why is mint chocolate chip ice cream so often green? We know that the essential oils used to produce the mint flavor certainly doesn’t lend the color. Is it the manufacturer’s way of grabbing the attention of someone already searching for the flavor? Does green food say “mint” to you? Green foods say “grassy” or “produce” to me. There is no denying that food imagery helps determine choice, and this next Call drives home that point precisely. Can’t wait to see your entries…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Feast. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show! I have such a soft spot for this gallery, and considering the theme, I really want to see one of MY BELOVED FOODIE ARTISTS take Best of Show…and all the other spots as well. Make me proud…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Feast

Feast your eyes & dig in. The taste of food photography.

From farm to table; the harvesting, preparing and plating of culinary masterpieces. Food, we eat it to survive. Yet if grown and prepared with intention, these are the dishes we savor.

Cooking can be a lot like taking a great photograph. Both lend themselves to fearless experimentation, adaptation and, ultimately, the creation of something awe-inspiring.

Photography capturing this process is something that all walks of life can connect to and be stirred by. The act of breaking bread with one another is deeply ingrained in our many traditions and ancestry.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: October 16, 2013

NOTIFICATION: October 23, 2013

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 images for $24 US for on-line and $29 for email submission

JUROR: For the past 20 years Matt Armendariz has been immersed in food in one way or another. As a former graphic designer and art director in the food industry, he has surrounded himself with great food before he began branching out into photography and blogging as a way to expand and share his passion for all things food and drink. High and low, near and far, food and flavor have always been his driving force and the stories that shape how and what we eat have always captivated him.

Matt’s photo clients include La Brea Bakery, Target, Food Network, Cooking Channel, Coca Cola, In N Out, Pom Wonderful, Coastal Living Magazine, Time Magazine, Food + Wine, and various cookbooks.

AWARDS: All selected entries are exhibited in the Darkroom Gallery and included in a full color exhibit catalog. Juror’s Choice receives a 30×48″ vinyl exhibit banner featuring their image. People’s Choice gains free entry into a future exhibit.

SALES: Darkroom offers free matting and framing of accepted entries for the duration of each of their exhibitions, subject to standard sizes. Photographers set their own prices if they wish to sell their work and retain all rights to their photographs. For commission details, go to the bottom of the Submission Rules page!

CALL for ENTRIES: Grayscale

FRIED

There are a lot of reasons not to eat fried foods on a regular basis. You’ve heard most of them: blood pressure, heart disease, vitamin deficiency. Blah, blah, blah. You already know all of the logical reasons. So, let me proffer that fried food is the culinary equivalent of institutional gray. Do you really enjoy a plate of brown and beige food that all basically tastes beige? I hate to misappropriate the Skittles slogan, but taste the rainbow people. This next Call is the best reason to appreciate gray, but walk away from the beige, folks…

Check out this Call for Entries for Grayscale from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry fee is very reasonable, and the theme is a classic. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Grayscale

The world is a colorful place. Despite this, photographers often choose to excise color from the world they capture. Artists working in black and white eliminate the complexities of color to accentuate form, composition, and lighting. The world desaturated is in some ways made more vivid. For Grayscale, The Kiernan gallery seeks photographs of any subject matter that use and celebrate the vibrancy of monochrome.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography: Alternative processes, digital, traditional, and toned images are all eligible.

CALL for ENTRIES: Artful Treasures

Posted on September 5, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

make anything from
LEMONS

There are a few culinary treasures in my home. Goat cheese makes the world go round. Almost any dish can be made better with balsamic vinegar. Red bell pepper round out the taste of any dish. Lemons are essential to virtually all dishes. They are all small treasures that are taken for granted, until you’re out of one of them. This next Call wants your treasures to round out their holiday season. Love this tradition…

CALL for ENTRIES: Horror

FOODS

Like everyone, I have kitchen horror stories. I still relive slicing my finger open while opening a package of fish. I rushed to the hospital hoping to have the “clean cut” glued instead of stitched so that it wouldn’t interfere with my looming art deadline, only to be left in the waiting room so long they couldn’t glue it. Plus, there’s the horror of having burned everything imaginable. BTW, the most expensive foods burn easiest. You’ve got horror stories of you own, whether real or imagined, and this next Call wants to hear AND see them. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Bruce Humphries for Art School Horror Stories (art publication). You’ve either got stories of your own or have heard them from your peers. So, here’s your chance to put them out there in either written word or image. This should be fun…

Luckily, no one has bothered to ever install hidden cameras in my kitchen. The images of my pretending to be Julia Child wouldn’t be great for my credibility. But, it’s what I do when attempting something in the kitchen for which I am untrained or unqualified–like de-boning a whole chicken. I make believe. It makes any resulting failure sting less. This next Call wants to know how YOU make believe…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Make Believe. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Make Believe

Role-play, tell tall-tales, put on your brightest costume and let your imagination take the lead.

Images that captivate, tell a fantastical story. The hero vs. the monster, parallel universes co-mingling, colorful characters that drag us down a rabbit hole! Fantasy, horror, sci-fi, fairy-tale, steam-punk and renaissance inspired photographs.

Just as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein emerged from a dream, her motley creation is considered to be one of the earliest examples of science fiction and a great novel for the ages, Darkroom asks you to produce and capture your dreams. “The whole series of my life appeared to me as a dream; I sometimes doubted if indeed it were all true, for it never presented itself to my mind with the force of reality.”― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Create your legend, weave your web and spin your yarns. Contact your inner child and dive head-first into a treasure trove of costumes. This exhibit will be on display over Halloween, so make it spooky.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: September 18, 2013

NOTIFICATION: September 25, 2013

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 images for $24 US for on-line and $29 for email submission

JUROR: Growing up in a small Louisiana town, Andy Bloxham turned to his imagination for activity. This playful, creative approach to life extended to Andy’s adulthood, where it took form in photography, video, and writing. Receiving an MFA in photography from Louisiana Tech University, his images have appeared throughout the world in numerous group and solo exhibitions, publications, and online media.

Bloxham’s photography centers around fictional situations and events, told through the slight hint of a smirking camera. His techniques apply the command of tools ranging from pen, paper, and storyboards, to strobe lighting and digital post-processing. He is an assistant professor of photography at West Virginia Wesleyan College, and a faculty member at the Maine Media Workshops.

AWARDS: All selected entries are exhibited in the Darkroom Gallery and included in a full color exhibit catalog. Juror’s Choice receives a 30×48″ vinyl exhibit banner featuring their image. People’s Choice gains free entry into a future exhibit.

SALES: Darkroom offers free matting and framing of accepted entries for the duration of each of their exhibitions, subject to standard sizes.

LEMON DROPS

I’ve always been lucky in the kitchen. Most of my experiments work. I often get it right the first time I try. Maybe that is how my love affair with food began–as something successful. Who isn’t attracted to being good at something? I often struggle in the studio, but the struggle produces better work. So am I lucky not to be lucky in the studio? Semantics, I suspect. Maybe this next Call will be lucky for you…

Vacation has not been kind to my figure. Tomorrow is the last day of my summer vacation at Lake Lure (Dirty Dancing & Last of the Mohicans were filmed here), and I am already trying to figure out tomorrow’s food schedule and we’ve just finished with today’s brunch.

Luckily, this next Call takes all interpretations of “figure,” even the vacation version. Take a look…

So I’m a little shy about my food knowledge. My friends, readers and even my family ask food questions all the time with the assumption that I will know the answers because I write about food everyday. And, if you need to know how to boil the perfect egg, I’m your woman. But, I can’t tell you the flavor profile of every fruit, veggie and meat on the planet because I haven’t tried them ALL. I’m working on it though. In the meantime, when asked a question to which I don’t have an answer. I just shyly beg off the subject. Don’t be shy about this next opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Shy Rabbit (Pagosa Springs, CO) for The Art of It All. Like the name of the show implies, they are open to all media–even some fine craft like jewelry, basketry and glass work. Take a look…

I try not to spend all of these posts talking about my new gluten-free lifestyle. Boring, I know. But it has been enlightening. Most of all, I have learned the key to GF menu planning. Instead of figuring out how to substitute every wheat product you can no longer eat, just eat more of the naturally GF foods. If you are what you eat, I am all things green. This next Call wants your unique perspective on botanicals. Great show, great gallery; don’t miss it…

Check out this Call for Entries for Botanicals from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry is very reasonable. The theme is fun, and the juror is active and easily researched. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Botanicals

The natural world has fascinated photographers since the invention of the medium. Botanicals are props in portraiture, examined in landscapes, and rendered as patterns in décor and apparel.

Preserving the ephemeral quality of plant-life as a still image allows viewers to contemplate the beauty and complexity of natural forms, but it also allows artists to re-purpose nature for our own expressive ends. Whether in bloom or decay, edible or admirable, mammoth or miniscule, all interpretations of flora are welcome for The Kiernan Gallery’s exhibition, Botanicals.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA:
All photographic media are encouraged.

Following her environmental path, she collects and photographs beach plastic to make large scale, deceptively beautiful yet confrontational prints. She is represented by Cordon/Potts Gallery in San Francisco.

AWARDS: All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice will also be announced and both winners will receive a free copy of the catalogue.
