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…

Check out this Call for Entries from MPLS Photo Center (Minneapolis, MN) for Off the Cuff: The Spontaneous and Unrehearsed. The entry fee is only $35 for up to FIVE images. Don’t miss this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
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.

ELIGIBILITY:
All artists

MEDIA:
Photography

DEADLINE: November 5th, 2011

CALL for ENTRIES: Healing Art

Posted on August 6, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

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.

MAKING me SING!

I seem to have Italian and Greek food on the brain these days. I usually write the food reference paragraph of these posts to see what the Call conjures in my mind and stomach. And, for some reason, it is Italian and Greek these days. Maybe it is the Suzukakia (Greek Meatballs) I had at Athens Restaurant in Nashville this past weekend. So, I got to meatballs because I ran across this Open Call for an opera house. Doesn’t opera make you instantly think meatballs? Maybe it is just me…

Check out this Open Call from the Grand Opera House (Wilmington, Delaware) to Exhibit in a Grand Gallery for the 2011/2012 season. The entry fee is only $25, but the opportunity is HUGE! Investigate…

MISSING
MEATBALLS

I been eating a lot of junk food for the past few days.

But no… road trips make me crave junk food. However, when I get home tomorrow, I will welcome back old standards like spaghetti night.

CALL for ENTRIES: Persona

Posted on July 27, 2011July 27, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

STUFF my
PEPPER!

Am I the only one that wonders what their food portrait would be? I thought so. I think if a portraitist had to capture my image as a food, I would be a mozzarella and proscuitto stuffed pepper… well-marinated, all little salty, a little spicy, and worth every penny, ha. This next Call encourages you to share your best wacky portraits… So use your imagination and take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery in Vermont called Persona. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Darkroom offers free framing & matting on accepted work!

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.

Posted on July 17, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

ROAST my CLOVE,
please!

There is something special about the first taste of something special. Chances are good you have no clue the first time you tasted garlic because it is hidden in food as early as Chef Boyardee. BTW, how impressed are you that the Chef now offers whole grain pasta, a full serving of vegetables and preservative free? And no, they are not sponsoring this blog, I promise.

CALL for ART ENTRIES: The Guild

Posted on July 15, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

STICKY SWEET

When I think of salt water taffy, I think of the mountains. Odd, eh? I suspect that salt water taffy got its start on seaside boardwalks, but it seems every small mountain town has a great little store front that lets you watch taffy being made. I know that here in Gatlinburg, there is more than one. I wonder if Blue Ridge, GA (home of this Call) has a taffy shop. Sounds like a great reason to attend the reception…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Southern Appalachian Artist Guild for their Annual National Juried Show which will be exhbiited in the Richard Low Evans Gallery in Blue Ridge, GA, one of “America’s Top Art Communities.” I know that discussing art sales is like talking about religion or politics in polite company (in bad taste), but I will say it anyway… this could be a great opportunity to sell some artwork.

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

FORGIVE ME, please

I think in food cliches. People like me are the reason pumpkin pie candles are sold scores of people longing for fall. And, when I think of Colorado, I think of hot chocolate after skiing.

This next Call is from Colorado; maybe there will be hot chocolate at the reception.
