IN THE HOURGLASS

The thought of a little more time with family at breakfast or dinner is a dream in my household. For now we are grouchy, non-speaking, egg-gulping, panic-stricken and running late during weekday mornings, but weekends are full of blue-berry pancakes and eggs benedict.

This “gift of time” allows artists to work without distraction in an effort to break new ground and focus on individual goals. 

Learn more about the Roswell Artist Residency Program online!The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program serves as a contemporary counterpoint to the traditional arts of the Southwest, reinforces the Program’s interest in strengthening the vitality of art in New Mexico and has been a catalyst in broadening community understanding of contemporary art.

The printmaking facility is a small, fully operational studio – basically lithographic/etching in nature. 

Artists are housed in a complex of six houses and 10 studios located on forty acres of land. Each artist is provided with a house that can amply accommodate either a single person or a family. Rent, utilities (except telephone), repairs and maintenance costs are borne by the Program. Houses are furnished with major furniture items, appliances and utensils. (continued below)

CALL for ENTRIES: Scene on the Street

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!FALAFEL ME, PLEASE!

I love living in the Great Smoky Mountains. The weather is amazing.  The mountains have to been seen to be believed.  It is a tiny town with many of the conveniences of living in a larger suburban city.  What’s missing?  Greek food…but we have lots of Italian. Thai food…well, we have Thai food, but it is a 10 mile drive from Gatlinburg.  And… Street vendors.  Yep, street vendors.  Sometimes you just want a falafel.

It will come as no surprise that this Call for Entries from Vermont Photo Space Gallery called Scene on the Street conjures images of hot dogs, taco trucks, and falafel stands.  Yes, I am that obsessed with food. But I feel certain that I can trust you to take a deeper look…don’t forget Vermont Photo Space offers free framing & matting on accepted entries!

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Scene on the Street

Learn more about the Vermont Photo Space Gallery!As the world becomes more paranoid about being photographed, especially “on the street” where there isn’t a chance to ask for permission first, the journalistic or documentary photographer still yearning to make candid images on the streets must be more creative, patient and sometimes deceptive.

This contest is asking the photographer to submit images that they feel capture the essence of candid street moments, with a special emphasis on images that tell a story, capture a unique moment or transcend all definitions by it’s magical quality.

JUROR: Ed Kashi is dedicated to documenting the social & political issues that define our times. Kashi’s imagery has been recognized for its compelling rendering of the human condition.

Photograph by Juror Ed Kashi“I take on issues that stir my passions about the state of humanity and our world, and I deeply believe in the power of still images to change people’s minds. I’m driven by this fact; that the work of photojournalists and documentary photographers can have a positive impact on the world. The access people give to their lives is precious as well as imperative for this important work to get done. Their openness brings with it a tremendous sense of responsibility to tell the truth but to also honor their stories.”

Kashi’s images have been published and exhibited worldwide. Along with numerous awards, including honors from Pictures of the Year International, World Press Foundation, Communication Arts and American Photography, Kashi’s editorial assignments and personal projects have generated six books.
