CALL for ENTRIES: Edges & Curves

Posted on July 22, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FRIED THIGHS

When I think of the foods of my youth, I think of… Banquet Fried Chicken. I know, I know. I was reared by my father, alone, between the ages of 3 and 13, and we ate anything and everything pre-packaged or ready-made that we could because I did all the cooking from age 5 up. Do not send me letters about child labor or processed food, please; it was not a choice… it just was. Oddly enough, I suspect my child will remember granola bars and french bread pizza as the foods of his youth. Wonder if I’ve really made much of an improvement, ha. This next Call has me wondering what the food of my 40’s will be. Any suggestions?

Check out this Call for Entries from The Haggus Society for Edges & Curves at The Glass Studio in Highland Park, CA. The entry fee is only $12 for 6 images; however, there are age restrictions. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Edges & Curves

Edges & Curves, Nothing In Between attempts to bust the myth that the older creative has lost her or his edge.

In a youth oriented society, the conventional wisdom is that the younger artist is the risk taker and rule breaker. And while those who would follow conventional wisdom believe we soften as we get older, there are those who actually hone their edges to craft a message with more bite and risk because of their station in life.

ELIGIBILITY: This event is open to any artist 40 years and older.

MEDIA: 2D (no larger than 32″ x 44″) or small 3D (no larger than 14″ x 10″ x 8″)

DEADLINE: Midnight September 1, 2011

NOTIFICATION: Artist email notification September 10, 2011

ENTRY FEE:
$12 submission fee for 6 images

SALES:
The Haggus Society retains 40% of all sales.

ABOUT THE SPONSOR: The Haggus Society is a group catering to creative feminists over the age of 40 who share a vision of empowering Woman’s position in the arts and society via the support of cultural acts and practices as well as direct action. The Haggus Society is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the purposes of The Haggus Society must be made payable to Fractured Atlas and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

CALL for ENTRIES: Prints USA 2011

Posted on July 21, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FRY your own SAUSAGE

Missouri makes me think of German sausage. Did you know that Ozark Mountain country (partially located in southern Missouri) was widely settled by Germans that brought their own culinary traditions? To this day, Hermann’s Wurstfest celebrates this culinary transplant every year. You know the saying, “you made your bed, now lie in it?” I prefer the German version: “Die Wurst nach dem Manne braten” — every man fries his own sausage. Check out this Call for Entries from Missouri…

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.

CALL for ART ENTRIES: Eye of the Beholder

STICK
‘EM UP!

I love kitchen gadgets, as you very well know. However, I’ve found lots of fun and funny uses for my least used kitchen accessories outside the kitchen all together. My favorite Wilton offset spatula for icing cakes has become my best palatte knife. And back before I cut off all my hair for ease and convenience, I had a favorite set of red and black enameled chopsticks that made fabulous hair sticks. Maybe your found object for this next Call will come from the kitchen. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Maryland Federation of Art (Annapolis, MD) for Eye of the Beholder! This found object show is unique in that you only have to incorporate ONE found objects. Have fun…

CALL for ART ENTRIES:
Eye of the Beholder

Found Objects: (According to The Smithsonian Institution) “Found art, more commonly called found objects — in French, objet trouve — is a term used to describe art created from common objects not normally considered to be artistic. The idea behind found art is that the piece of art derives its significance from the context into which it is put. Found Art blurs the traditional lines of what is art and questions the very nature of art itself. Found objects are often used by artists and may include the repurposing of street signs, license plates, or bottle caps, use of recycled paper, or imaginative application of household items.”

ELIGIBILITY: All artists residing in the United States and Canada

MEDIA: The exhibition is held to showcase the works of fine art that have incorporated at least one or more found objects into their presentation. Any two or three dimensional submission following exhibition guidelines will be considered by the juror.

DEADLINE: August 24, 2011

NOTIFICATION: Sept. 23, 2011

ENTRY FEE: A maximum of 6 original works created within the past 3 years may be entered. 1 or 2 entries $35 (MFA members $20). Additional four entries $5 each. Entry fees are non-refundable.

JUROR: Janet Maher has been a working artist for thirty-five years, and is an Associate Professor of Art at Loyola University Maryland. She works in a wide range of mixed media, and teaches courses that reflect her interests, such as: Collage, Assemblage and the Found Object; Book Arts and Artist Books; Digital Mixed Media; Printmaking (Relief, Intaglio, Screenprint, Lithography and Alternative Processes), as well as Drawing and Two-Dimensional Design. She has exhibited widely and her work is in numerous public and private collections.

AWARDS: Cash awards total $1000. Contributors and recipients will be listed in the exhibition catalog.

SALES: The MFA will retain 30% commission from sales.

CALL for ART ENTRIES: Manipulated

Posted on July 11, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FREAKY FOOD

Genetically modified and manipulated food freaks me out. I eat it regularly–not because I choose to, but because disclosure is not required. What freaks me out is the unknown end result. Maybe nothing is wrong with GM food, but shouldn’t we figure that out before we start stuffing it in everything? You might be shocked by how much of the raw foods we eat are manipulated, and the processed foods we eat are packed as well. This next Call puts a lovely spin on the modified and manipulated… and stays away from my food, thank-you-very-much.
