CALL for ENTRIES: Sense of Place 2014

Posted on March 19, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

FRIENDLY FRUIT
in a small world

Grocery shopping is often a small world experience for me. I’ll be thinking of having teriyaki wings, and my husband will come home with the chicken. Or, I’ll be dreaming of pineapple-infused rice for my salmon, and my stop at the grocery store with produce a beautifully ripe pineapple that just happens to be on sale. I’m just lucky that way, I suppose. Just the other day, I was thinking of a couple of pieces I saw in someone’s personal art collection, and what do you know–the juror pops up in this call. It’s a small world…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art (Augusta, GA) for A Sense of Place. $30 entry, fantastic juror, and a beautiful venue!

CALL for ENTRIES: Me, Myself & I

SUNNY SIDE UP

Don’t throw tomatoes. I never search my own blog history before I write these segues. So unknown to me, I might be contradicting/repeating myself, but I am always being sincere–I swear. Having said that, I remember having written about this topic many times. That’s right, it is time for what-would-I-be-if-I-were-food. This week, I’m thinking I would be an egg. Really. They are ultimate in adaptive foods. They are in everything from cookies to lasagna. My family OF THREE now eats approximately 3 dozen a week. Really. This episode of what-would-I-be-if-I-were-food was brought to you be this self-portrait Call–the ultimate what-would-I-be-if-I-had-only-one-shot-to-show-the-world experience. Enough hyphens; I digress…

Check out this Call for Entries from the ENMU Runnels Gallery for Me, Myself & I, a self-portrait show. No entry fee, and this is a great institution. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Me, Myself & I, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and should be considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Me, Myself & I

Social, cultural, political, gender, age and sexual orientation are part of our identities as individuals. Each of these elements play a part in how we identify within various constructs such as family, workforce, community and greater society.

The aim of this exhibition is to feature self-portraits that best depict our own individual identity and the ability to be a camellia of uniqueness or to fit within the statuesque.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Must be 8” x 10”. No landscapes orientations accepted. B&W or color photography, digital photography or illustrations, and photos or scanned replications of drawings, paintings or sculptures. Self-portraits will not be returned; do not submit original prints/artwork.

DEADLINE:
May 1, 2014

NOTIFICATION: “All artists will be featured. Artists are welcome to submit as many self-portraits as they wish; however, the gallery can only guarantee a minimum of six photos per artist will be displayed. If space permits, more photos will be used from each submitting artist.” — quoted from from the Me, Myself & I prospectus

ENTRY FEE: No fee to enter

SALES: Artwork will not be sold. (or returned)

Editor’s Note: According the prospectus, this is a National Juried exhibit; however, it also claims to be open to ANY artist, and no juror is listed. The quote above indicates it is a form of all-hung show. So, my guess is it is only juried for awards. However, the awards are not defined in the prospectus either. Normally I wouldn’t publish a Call without getting all of these questions answered…but I HAVE shown at this gallery myself and it was a FANTASTIC experience. If you’re looking for a line on your resume, this is a great academic gallery with an historically great curatorial vision.

BUTTER, GHEE
or me

The only thing missing from California cuisine is butter. It is characterized by local, fresh ingredients and foods low in saturated fats and high in fresh vegetables and fruits with lean meats and seafood from the California coast with special attention paid to presentation–delicious & beautiful. But why leave out the butter? And, if it is from local, grass-fed cows, even better. Can’t we just learn to play well with others? The prize for this next Call hails from the land of California cuisine. Is this opportunity the one for you?

PASTA

Today I spied organic alphabet soup in the grocery store. There is some humor to be found in the idea that someone invested in eating organically would also want a food so tortured & processed that it can spell out words. And, I don’t believe anyone is REALLY teaching their children to read with soup. So do we really need to communicate with food, literally, or am I just a huge hypocrite for constantly preach about the transformative & communicative power of food? Okay, I’m a hypocrite, ha. But, this next Call speaks to the power of text; however, I suspect they are not searching for alphabet pasta mosaics. Check out this fantastic venue…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Woman Made Gallery (Chicago, IL) for texttexttext. I’ve shown my own work at this venue, and I loved my experience at this gallery. Take a look…

Text is communication: “I’ll text you”.

Text is image: TeXt. tExT.

Text is nowhere to be seen: …….

From art reduced to nothing but text, to art depicting obscured or unseen text; from Tracy Emin’s neons to Adrian Piper’s calling cards: text is limitless in its manifestations as a figurative, conceptual, and activist element within contemporary art. texttexttext seeks to explore text-based work in all media, and invites artists of all genders to submit.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to artists of all genders.

MEDIA: Text based work in all media will be considered.

DEADLINE: April 16, 2014

NOTIFICATION: May 14, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $30 for up to 3 images

JUROR: Monika Szewczyk divides her time between writing, editing, curating and teaching.

From 2008 to 2012, she was head of publications at the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam.

I double most of the recipes for soups, stews & casseroles. My child takes his lunch everyday, and despite working from my home office, I don’t have the time to make lunch everyday. So, leftovers are it. Eggplant lasagna is everyone’s favorite doubled meal, by the way (because it is THAT good 🙂 ). The prizes for this next Call have almost doubled in the past 3 years.

a mixed bag of
GROCERIES

I loosely plan a weekly menu each week by making sure there are at least seven proteins, seven green vegetables and a handful of starches available in the kitchen. From those offerings, I try to make every week different. But, since the proteins are almost always a couple of versions of same pork, beef, chicken and/or fish, making 52 different menus a year is a stretch. And, I might add that there are only so many ways to prepare zucchini & broccoli. But this next Call is the 52nd time this Call has been offered, and I promise the result has been different each and every time. Maybe this is THE opportunity for you…

MOUTH

I dislike the semantics of having an “open mind”. Doesn’t that, quite literally, mean that anything can go in and out? I don’t want that for my mind any more than I want that for my menu. I simply will not abide even a “devil’s advocate” argument on some subjects anymore because for me, wrong is wrong. I feel the same way about food. I’ve tried an impossibly large number of foods over the years. I will not even entertain the possibility of tasting some foods anymore. Grubs might be fantastic or even taste like my favorite stinky cheese, but I won’t be eating them, EVER. Call me closed-minded AND closed-mouthed in this respect. Luckily, this next show is wide open. Investigate…

sometimes an EGG
is more than an EGG

The creative are often food obsessed. I am not alone. Food is a common experience for us all, but I find that creative people tend to purposefully try to indulge all the senses at once–musicians, writers, dancers AND visual artists. So how perfect is this next Call that centers around a slightly food-obsessed musician. If you don’t know his work (Eggs & Sausage is one of my favorites, but Chocolate Jesus was infamously controversial), do your homework…you won’t be sorry.

Check out of this Call for Entries from the Arc Studios & Gallery (San Francisco, CA) for Like a Tom Waits Song. This is one of the most unique themes I have ever published. Fascinating…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Like a Tom Waits Song

This open call is for all artists who have found themselves deeply moved, enraptured, bemused or inspired by Tom Waits. Has his music ever transported you to a dusty desert town or an abandoned train yard or a glowing, gritty neon rainy city street filled with steam? Listening to his music do you come away from the experience with a flash of inspiration embodying his lyrics? Like Tom Waits, do you tell tall tales and spin yarns with your work?

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all US artists

MEDIA: Sculpture, painting, drawing, photo, printmaking, ceramics, assemblage, collage, mixed media, fiber art & artist books. This exhibition cannot accept jewelry, video, film, performance art, installation and works requiring an external electrical source.

DEADLINE: February 23rd, 2014

NOTIFICATION: March 28, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 3

JUROR: graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1977. Her background as an artist has assisted in her understanding of the perspectives and idiosyncrasies of the art world.

The range of work includes paintings, works on paper, photography and sculpture.

AWARDS: A Juror’s Award ribbon and certificate will be presented to three works that express the most imaginative interpretation of the theme. There are two opportunities to get into this show. The juror will select works that will be exhibited in the Arc Gallery at 1246 Folsom Street and on the Arc On-line Gallery. The juror will also select works that will be shown in the Arc On-line gallery only. This allows for more works to be seen beyond the 1,000 square feet physical limitation of the gallery.
