CALL FOR ENTRIES: Art Buzz!

Art Buzz Publishing, founded in 2007, offers an alternative to mainstream art publications and a way for lesser known and undiscovered visual artists to showcase their work to an international audience.

The annual Art Buzz fine art search seeks passionate emerging and mid-career visual artists throughout the world. Artists that are awarded with inclusion in the book, are chosen solely on the merits of their work—not their resume, background, biography, etc. Unlike many other publications, artists can not buy their way into this book.

Art Buzz, the book, is an annual, full-color, fine quality, large (10″ x 10″) format, hardcover “coffee table” publication that is scheduled for release in January of each year with a vigorous distribution plan targeted directly to the International Fine Art Community.

All the various mediums will be accepted such as: painting (oils & acrylics, etc.), drawing, graphic art, photography (includes digital), mixed media, fiber, print making, sculpture, glass, metal, pottery, jewelry, etc. If you wish to enter two different mediums (ex. oils and mixed media, or sculpture and jewelry, etc.), you are required to submit an entry form and fee for each particular medium you enter.

SUBMISSIONS: Artwork images may be submitted by 35mm slides (or 21/4” or 4″ x 5″ transparencies), digital files (preferred) or photographs up to 8″ x 10″. All artwork images should be clearly and neatly labeled with the artist’s name, title of work, medium and dimensions. The same information should also be listed clearly on the entry form.

SLIDES: Artist slides should be 35mm (or transparencies 21/4” or 4″ x 5″). All slides should be labeled with artist’s name, title of work, medium, dimensions and an arrow pointing to the slide top. Visit the full call for slide submission guidelines.

DIGITAL SUBMISSION: Digital artwork image files will be accepted on CD (NO DVDs please) and should be readable by a Mac and named in conjunction with the actual artwork title. Visit the full call for digital submission guidelines.

NOTIFICATION: All artists will be notified of acceptance or non-acceptance via EMAIL.

ENTRY FEE: The entry fee for up to three (3) slides (or transparencies), digital images or photographs is $35.00.

DEADLINE: Postmarked by September 30, 2010.

On a personal note, my readers know that I try to ensure that none of the calls I list are scams or thinly-disguised money-making schemes. This IS NOT vanity publishing and DOES appear to be a legitimately-distributed fine art book.

CALL for ENTRIES: Art to Die For

Posted on July 30, 2010July 30, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

ART OF DEATH

I avoid all talk of death and mortality, in general. My fondest hope is that we I finally slow down long enough to die…instead of a wake or funeral, my loved ones will plan an elaborate seven course meal for those nearest and dearest to my heart (and stomach).

I have been avoiding all acknowledgment of the aging process when at all possible. However, the subject has started to creep into my work occasionally…we’ll call it a PREMATURE middle-aged crisis. Here’s a great call for entries from Gallery 5 in Richmond, Virgina called Momento Mori that explores how you guys are approaching the subject of death and mortality in your work. Check it out…

Call for Entries: Memento Mori

CALL for Entries: Dreamland

Posted on July 29, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

DREAMS INTERPRETED

My best friend, Toni Morton, is a fruit loop, an organic one, but a fruit loop nonetheless. Since we were in college she been into lots of touchy, feely, spirtually-connected “stuff.” Now she’s all green and granola-crunchy. I respect her right to believe in whatever she likes…I even love her for it, and I am occasionally swayed by her green logic. But admittedly, I love giving her a hard time about it too, ha.

This Call for Entries for Artists in Dreamland has that sort of soft, squishy, mystical vibe. Get in touch with your dreams folks…you can do it. Here’s the Call for Art Entries:

Call for Entries: ARTISTS IN DREAMLAND

The purpose of this exhibit is to showcase artwork that expresses the dreams that we all have in the night, and how our dreams and dream life inform and inspire the creative process and the creation of art. This is a unique opportunity for our visitors to walk through a visual dream diary of the exhibiting artists.

Eligibility: Original artwork inspired by dreams or series of dreams in the night. Both the art pieces and the dream that inspired the creation of the art are juried. The most important criterion is how the art piece is connected to a dream or series of dreams, to fit into the theme of the exhibit.

Media: All two-dimensional and three-dimensional media will be considered, including painting, drawing, collage, mosaic, metal, glass, fabric, ceramic, sculpture and mixed media. Film, video, and digital art will be considered if provision for displaying these media is provided or can be located by art exhibit staff. All works accepted must be suitably framed and/or ready for display. Works on paper must be framed under glass or plexiglass. No crafts, kits, reproductions, or production please.

All entries must include :

1. Printed dream narrative to accompany the dream art in the exhibit, to illustrate the connection between the dream and the creation of the piece of art. Dream narrative may be continued on the back of the entry form.

2. A brief artist statement and biographical statement, computer printed or typed on 81/2 by 11 inch paper that will be displayed in a 3-ring notebook, available to visitors to view in gallery. Please note: artists’ statements must include the dream or the significant part of the dream that inspired the art and an explanation of how the work is dream-related.

3. Images of the artwork are to be digital; either JPG or PDFs will be accepted.

4. Every piece of art is exhibit ready and/or ready to hang. No sawtooth hangers.

5. Shipping: Work should be shipped to or hand-delivered to Poudre River Arts Center on or before delivery deadline of Friday August 27, 2010.

6. Liability: Kat Peters-Midland, DreamMosaics Studio, and Poudre River Arts Center will take all precautions to ensure the safety of all artwork. All work will be handled with care. The gallery will be staffed during all open hours of the exhibit. However Kat Peters-Midland, DreamMosaics Studio, and/or Poudre River Arts Center will not be responsible for any loss, damage, or stolen artwork. Any insurance is sole responsibility of the exhibiting artist.

7. Jury fee: $35 for up to 3 pieces of art that is in the exhibit. Jury fee for additional art pieces is $10 a piece.

8. Sales: Entries do not have to be for sale. The price must be included on pieces for sale. There is a 25% commission on all sales.

9. Judging: Due to popular demand, the People’s Choice award will be offered this year. The award will be determined by a vote of visitors, which will be determined at the end of the exhibit on September 25, 2010. First, second, and third places will be posted on the websites www.dreammosaics.com and www.poudreriverartscenter.com.

10. An opportunity to offer prints and cards with images of the dream art in the exhibit is extended to each exhibiting artist; they will be placed in the gallery.

I received a group of Calls for Entries (none of them regional) all from the same organization, the Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville (TN). I have entered two of the four shows before and was juried into both.

CALL for Entries: Shift for Change

SNICKERS

You know how I love a theme. I hear the snickers…I am proud to love a theme. I once had an art critic wonder aloud (in print anyway) if my love for a theme didn’t occasionally cloud my curatorial vision. Ouch, right?

Here’s a great Art Show Theme…Shift…Change…Movement. Any interpretation you fancy will be fine for this Call for Entries from the BECA Foundation. Check it out:
