CALL for ENTRIES: Trick ART Treat

Posted on October 27, 2013October 27, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

the trick is
I MISS THE TREATS

I haven’t had a trick-or-treater at my door in years. I miss seeing cute kids in even cuter costumes. I miss giving out chocolate, knowing it may be the only candy that doesn’t get thrown away later. But alas, I live in the mountains. Not many people live in neighborhoods, and those that do have an “organized community,” don’t have walkable streets. We buy 4-wheel drive vehicles because we actually need them. Our kids go downtown and trick or treat on Main Street. No joke. So, I have to get in the spirit other ways. I think this next Call is a great start. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from RaiseART (online) for Trick Art Treat, a fun online competition with no fee that might just get you out of your rut and into the Halloween spirit. The award is pretty sweet…

BUTTER
butt

I want to smack every pert, ponytail-wearing, 20-something that looks at me with pity when they see 2 lbs. of butter in my shopping cart. I can read their calorie-counting little minds, “Fat makes you fat; no wonder you’ve got a case of the pudgies.” Really? Does anyone really still believe the myth that fat makes you fat? My pudge is due to eating more than I move. End of story. I’ll take my butter over your chemical-laden margarine any day, Ms. Ponytail. Explore your own myths with this next Call. Bring on the butter…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Myths & Legends

This exhibit celebrates works of art that bring to life fantastical myths, legends, fables, folktales, fairy tales, and the like. Around the world, from prehistoric times to the present, artists have been part of the story-telling process, giving shape and form to fantastical stories of supernatural beings, great heroes and heroines, cautionary tales, magical creatures, and more. In ancient times, artists commonly rendered images of these stories on walls, pottery, statuary, tapestries, and paintings. In more recent times, books, graphic novels, movies, apps, and games have expanded the way we experience these stories. No matter the time period, the artist becomes the story-teller and shares their spectacular vision through their art.

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to artists age 18 and older working in the U.S.

MEDIA: All media welcome; small to large-scale installations; new media encouraged; indoor only.

DEADLINE:
December 6, 2013

NOTIFICATION:
Via email on or before
December 17, 2013

ENTRY FEE: Artists must submit a $25 entry fee (or $20 for Annmarie members) for up to four entries. Entry fee must be paid by check, money order, or credit card.

JUROR: TBA

AWARDS: Annmarie will present cash awards to outstanding work. Judging will be done on installed works, not application images. If possible, judging will occur prior to the exhibit opening and awards will be presented at the opening reception.

SALES: Works selected for exhibition cannot be removed before the end of the exhibition. Should a sale resulting from the exhibition occur, Annmarie will retain a 40% commission of the listed sale price.

SHOES

You know I love food. You know I love art. My third passion is shoes. I cannot divulge the number of pairs I own out of sheer embarrassment, but trust me, it is a lot. Shoe selection had a little something to do with why I abandoned my pursuit of becoming a chef. If I had to wear clogs everyday, even adorable orange ones, I might just die of boredom. You might need a shoebox for this next Call. You can’t have mine…

SLATE

While on vacation, I ate slate grilled baby back ribs for the first time. Yum. You have to get past the idea that the slate is porous and might contain other food cooties from previous usage because that is part of what makes cooking with slate fantastic.

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. What is it about being out of town that leads to over-indulgence and gluttony? Maybe I need another treat to figure it out. We’ll call it research, ha.

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…

of food

I have drafted a dozen cookbooks in my head. They are usually inspired by whatever food eccentricity I am dwelling on at the moment. But they always have their roots in momentary excitement as opposed to being deep-rooted in a true philosophy about food. Maybe if I ever find myself, a cookbook will make it out of the draft stage. In the meantime, my roots will have to be of the vegetable variety. This next Call want to explore YOUR feelings on roots, or the lack thereof…

Check out this Call for Entries from DRAFTspace (NY, NY) for Rootlessness, a two-part themed exhibit. Selected artists will exhibit their solo exhibitions in the street-level pop-up space on Manhattan’s vibrant Lower East Side gallery district. This is a great chance for that New York opening you’ve always wanted…

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

CALL for ENTRIES: Rootlessness

The exhibition series will consist of two sections – Works on Paper and Works on Space – and one exhibition proposal for each section will be chosen and realized on New York’s Lower East Side.

NY has historically been home to ethnically diverse immigrants, inspiring feelings and experiences related to migration, temporality, transformation, assimilation, or conflict. DRAFTspace is hosting this exhibition series to provoke attention and discussion about this sense of rootlessness. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme creatively.

The theme of rootlessness is connected to the unique space setup and location. The exhibit will not be held in a permanent gallery space. Instead, it will temporarily occupy a street-level vacant retail space that will be consecutively transformed to fit the different identity and characteristics of each exhibition.

The Lower East Side where this event will take place has long been an immigrant neighborhood and has seen a series of immigrant communities pass through it. The area has undergone gentrification, starting in the mid-2000s and has since become home to upscale boutiques and numerous contemporary art galleries.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Photography, or Illustration for “Works on Paper” section OR Sculpture or Site-Specific Mixed Media Installations for “Works on Space” section

DEADLINE: August 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: September 15, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $40 per entry for up to 10 images

AWARDS: $500 Cash Prize & Solo Exhibition. The artist of each selected proposal will receive a $500 cash prize and his or her solo exhibition proposal will be realized.

I’ve been enjoying a Summer of barbeque–tomato-based, mostly, with a dry rub here and there. But, I kind of miss the mustard-based BBQ of South Carolina. And on the even more rare occasion, my thoughts turn to vinegar-based BBQ of North Carolina. It is a lighter, tangy taste than the heavy, pass-the-antacid variety common to most of the South. If you go to the opening for this next Call in NC, be sure to try it. Take a look…
