CHEESE
off the old block

Cheese food is not cheese. You’re allowed to like American cheese; feel free. But, don’t take comfort in the idea that you are eating a natural cheese. It is manufactured from milk, whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, saturated oils; emulsifiers, salt & artificial coloring–and that’s assuming you aren’t consuming a diet variety. Think of it this way…if the cheese can’t stand alone, then maybe it shouldn’t have the spotlight in any of your meals. This next Call is looking for a big cheese (or six) to put in the spotlight. Are you a big cheese?

Check out this Call for Entries from Penn State Altoona (Altoona, PA) for the Ivyside Juried Art Competition for solo shows at the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts. The entry fee is only $10 for up to 24 images. This is a great academic opportunity at a really low price!

not just
RICE-A-RONI

Famous dishes and food fads are not a new phenomenon. Consider Hangtown Fry, named after Placerville, CA (then known as Hangtown), where it is reported to have been invented in the 1850s. A bacon & oyster omelet, yep. Although it originated in Placerville, it was really made famous years later by San Francisco, an hour from Placerville, from hence the oysters where usually shipped. Yes, I managed to bring it back around to locally-sourced ingredients. This next Call is also famous and from San Francisco. Peas in a pod…

CALL for ENTRIES: Juxtapose

Posted on January 27, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

PEAR-ING
it down

I have given up my fruit with mean ban. That’s right–for years, I have had a problem with fruit and meat together. I tend to prefer fruits a little chilled, and I prefer meat at least room temperature, but preferably warm. As you might imagine juxtaposing the two only highlighted their differences. But, I’ve come around. As I have come to eating local (and organic, when possible) fruit, I am starting to prefer it room temperature. So, now oranges, apples, pears and more are showing up in my curries and stirfrys more and more often. Juxtaposition is all the rage for this next Call too. Great theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Juxtapose. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: Please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. I have a soft spot for this gallery, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Juxtapose

The composition of
two or more elements
within a photograph,
emphasizing either the
similarity or dissemblance
between them.

One of the most effective ways to express ideas photographically is to compare and contrast subjects visually. Placing contrasting elements side-by-side adds interest to a photograph and holds the viewer’s attention. Opposites such as: large and small, light and shadow, happy and sad, smooth and rough, new and old, horizontal and vertical, still and motion. Each one of these examples draws the viewer in, makes them curious about the story, why is that person happy while the other one is sad? How did that cat managed to get in amongst all of those dogs? Why are these two seemingly unrelated objects set in the same frame?

Explore complex or simplistic incongruity, opposites and contradictions, layered imagery, and observe the addition and subtraction of context. Counterbalance can marry elements by placing them side-by-side, above or below each other, or layer them in the foreground, middle-ground and background just as slow shutter speeds can show the disparity of moving objects compared to static ones.

Explore the uniqueness
found in apposing
colors, textures, characters
& objects.

Juxtaposition plays a crucial role in creating expression in each of these areas and the photographs’ overall message and allure – so crucial that we feel it deserves an exhibit all it’s own.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: March 19, 2014

NOTIFICATION: March 26, 2014

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 for $24 US for on-line & $29 by email

CALL for ENTRIES: Wild Things

free
SALAD
anyone?

My frugality DOES know boundaries. The one thing I don’t do is public foraging. It isn’t that I am necessarily opposed to eating wild things, like dandelion greens. Actually, I’m all for it, to be honest. But I am fearful of things unknown that might be sprayed ONTO the wild things. I live on the boundary (within a 1/2 mile) of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but since you cannot legally forage in any National Park, that doesn’t really help me find a safe place to forage. I suppose my wild things will be limited to art, for now–like this next Call. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Sweetwater Center for the Arts (Sewickley, PA) for Wild Things, an exhibit of art with unrestrained spirit. What more could you want than a description like that?

CALL for ENTRIES: Contemporary Portraiture

Posted on January 25, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

NAAN
for me,
thanks

How is it possible that images of deities continue to show up in food? Moreover, how is it possible that it still makes the news? If you were a deity, would “show up on a piece of naan” be on the top of your to-do list? If you were all powerful, would your idea of contemporary portraiture be Indian bread? I didn’t think so. it doesn’t matter who the deity is. Just no. For portraiture, let’s all stick with a Call like this next one. On the wall, not on your plate…

Check out this Call for Entries for Contemporary Portraiture from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, VA). The entry fee is ALWAYS reasonable at this gallery, and I you know how I LOVE portraiture…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Contemporary Portraiture

Historically, portraiture has relied heavily on artistic interpretation of the subject. Photographs, while still embracing the artist’s point of view, record selected surroundings and fractions of seconds. This allows for a different kind of interpretation; one based on real-life context rather than medium and imagination. For Expressions: Contemporary Portraiture The Kiernan Gallery seeks photographs of the self or of others that capture the expression, personality, or mood of the subject.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE:
February 21, 2014

NOTIFICATION:
Approx. 8 days later

ENTRY FEE:
5 for $25, each add’l $5

JUROR: Robin Rice’s mission is simple: to document the world around her in a cinematic way. Whether capturing the innate beauty of tucked-away South American landscapes or the reflective moments of unknowing subjects, her photographs are always candid. As a photographer, Robin has an earthy and bohemian way of portraying people and situations that is reflective of the way she lives life.

When she is not searching for inspiration from local people and places around the world, she runs The Robin Rice Gallery in New York City. As an artist who feels lucky to be able to parlay her love of the photographic medium into a career, she treats her gallery like a family rather than a business and is dedicated to supporting the work of established and local artists.

AWARDS: All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice will also be announced and both winners will receive a free copy of the catalogue.

SALES: Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works.

The Kiernan Gallery DOES still have incentive to sell your work. The gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.

PIECES

If I had to give my cooking an art style, it would probably be collage. I used to be a purist, a menu maker, a list writer. Somewhere along the way I began the little-bit-of-this-little-bit-of-that method. Dinner is now determined on whichever protein I thought to thaw out and whichever veggies were freshest, in-season and/or on sale. When I try to make a plan, it never fails that whatever I had planned ends up not sounding like what I really want. So, collage dinners are what we do now; it works for us. This next Call is also about collage. I like this one; take a look for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries from Tymutopiyapres (Lviv, Ukraine) for Collage Art. There is no entry fee, and if you’re looking for a brick-and-mortar show to add to your resume, this one is all hung. Take a look…

Editor’s note: This was sent to me under the subject line of “Mail Art”; however, I think this is more-accurately an all-hung collage exhibit, but because the expectation is that the majority of exhibitors will be from outside Ukraine, it is being dubbed a Mail Art show. I couldn’t find anything that indicated a postmark requirement or address requirement.

CHEERS
to you

There is very little in this world that I love as much as a glass of wine alongside a freshly-made pate. But red wine decided it didn’t like me a decade ago, and I’ve never been a fan of beef liver. So, what does one do? A beautiful white and a thrifty chicken liver pate. I smell a date night coming in all of this. In the meantime, this next Call offers a business excuse to drink wine. It’s all about the rationalization sometimes…

2013 ARTIST of the YEAR: Sima Schloss

Posted on January 10, 2014April 24, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

HAPPY NEW food YEAR!

It’s January, and we’re thrilled to be in 2014! I am joyfully looking forward to a new year. 2013 was a year of growth for my family, my art, and for AAAD. There were wonderful food highlights including a renewed interest in baking. And AAAD covered some fantastic opportunities in 2013 and even more fantastic artists. Which leads us to our proud announcement…

Today we name the
2013 Artist of the Year!

•

When AAAD began in 2009, I was determined to cover art deadlines, and more importantly, artists producing really good ART. And, after I chose a few artists, I quickly realized that the Featured Artist program needed structure, or it would never really get done on any sort of regular basis. That is how the Featured Artist Contest was born. (The Featured Artist program was retired in 2015 and replaced with the Artist of the Day program.)

The Featured Artist Page was getting crowded and each post was lessening the impact. I began archiving artists yearly, and the Artist of the Year was born.

I now give all of our Featured Artists each year notice that at the end of the year, the Artist of the Year will be determined by the number of comments on their individual Featured Artist blog posts.

Congratulations to Sima Schloss,
AAAD’s 2013 Artist of the Year

I followed up with Sima to find out what’s new: “Yay!! Thanks so much- Im so honored to be the winner!!! Whats going on now with my work now? Lets seeI am one of the winners of ArtAscent Magazine’s Dark Issue (December, 2013) ArtAscent.com, and my work ‘New Sheriff’ is featured on the cover!!! I have a group show in the works coming this Spring (details in the near future), and a collaboration in the works as well. I’m also in process of revamping my website!”

And new foods? Are there any new tasty morsels inspiring you? “I had the most incredible Brussels sprouts at my friends place the other night! I think I’ve only tried them a couple of times in my life, but these were outstanding. They were cooked in garlic & oil and had some incredible seasoning--I was in heaven! I’ve also really been into red and yellow peppers as well, they are so great with labneh (an incredible lebanese dip) hummus or guacamole.” Editor’s note: I’ve rediscovered the mini sweet peppers in my produce aisle. They have a milder flavor and crisper texture and ROCK stirfry dishes.

I have enjoyed getting to know you, Sima. I am inspired by your work. It is an expression of freedom, limitless potential and self awareness. I LOVE the work, and I’ve enjoyed forging a slow and easy friendship. YOU were my reward for choosing to feature your WORK. Thank you, Sima, for being a highlight of the AAAD year! Get to know Sima Schloss yourself.

*Editor’s Note: Sima remains one of my favorite people, and her work has grown and developed, surpassing anything I could have imagined. She was featured again in 2017 as an Artist of the Day!
