CALL for ENTRIES: Center for Photographic Art

Posted on October 2, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

GRAPES,
not raisins

Never miss a food field trip, be it big or small. Like anything else in life, if you miss an opportunity, sometimes you simply don’t ever get the chance again. Perfect example, I have lots of business in California these days in regards to this blogging empire (ha), personal art shows, group shows, etc., but because I didn’t visit The American Center for Wine, Food and the Arts when I DIDN’T have business in California, the opportunity is lost. Their doors closed in 2008. Pick the grapes when they are ripe, folks. This next call is an opportunity in an entirely different kind of Center. Don’t miss this one…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Center for Photographic Art (Carmel, CA) for their 2012 Juried Art Exhibition. The cash prizes are great, and you’ve still got over 6 weeks to submit. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Art in the Underbelly

Posted on October 1, 2011October 1, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

UNDER
my BELLY?

I am not a beer drinker. Yet, I am married to a home brewer of beer. Go figure. I’ve never been fond of many beers with the exception of Red Stripe and Grolsch, prefering wine instead. Interestingly enough, I love the smell of beer. This next Call is for a space just under a boozer (UK slang for a bar), just in case you want a tasty bite along with a pint. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Rumsey Wells (Norwich, UK) for Submit & Exhibit 2 at Art in the Underbelly. If you like unsual show spaces and are looking for a show across the pond…You can’t beat this entry fee!

CALL for ENTRIES: Art in the Underbelly

Art in the Under Belly is creative exhibition and performance space in Norwich, UK. Housed beneath The Rumsey Wells, its aim is to offer artists the opportunity to exhibit in an intriguing and unusual environment.

Far from being another gallery, the space is a converted cellar packed into intimate surroundings. There are no white walls or large floor spaces, instead the walls and the space retain much of their original character adding to the individuality of the surroundings. The space is open Monday to Friday, 1-3pm and 12-5pm on Saturdays.

After the success of 2009’s Submit & Exhibit, which saw submissions from as far afield as Pakistan and the USA, Art in the Underbelly is having its second open submission show, set to open in January 2012. Submissions are sought from artists and creative practitioners and anyone who makes work that they think would fit the space.

ELIGIBILITY: People of all levels of artistic availability are invited to submit. They are most interested in work we like the look of rather than years of experience. Hurray!

MEDIA: They are mainly seeking 2D work but there is some room for small 3D work and work that hangs from ceiling spaces.

DEADLINE: November 30th 2011

NOTIFICATION: None indicated.

ENTRY FEE: ￡5 (approx. $7.40 USD) for up to 3 images

SALES: Work can be for sale, the space takes a 20% commission.

CALL for ENTRIES: Small Works at Soo Rye

Posted on September 29, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

TELL ME RYE

I am a fan of bold flavors, but I’ve never developed a taste for caraway seeds also known as rye. The one exception to my caraway seed rule is pumpernickel rye bread. Maybe it is the earthy texture of the pumpernickel and the more practical everyday uses for bread that make it my exception. This next Call is my second exception for acceptable rye. This is a great holiday opportunity…

CALIFORNIA,
not MEXICO

I’ve never been much of a milk drinker. So it is easy to forget how much dairy I consume. I recently had to start taking Cipro, a really strong antibiotic, to try to knock out a irritatingly persistent ear infection, and it can’t be taken with dairy products. I’m on day 5 of a 10 regiment, and I had no idea it would make my life so complicated. Speaking of dairy, did you know that Monterey Jack cheese was made by the Mexican Franciscan friars of Monterey, California, during the 19th century? If you go to the opening of your solo show that you got by sending a proposal to this Call, let me know if they still make it there. Better yet, pick some up for me…

Check out this Open Call for Proposals from the Monterey Peninsula College Art Gallery in Monterey, CA. The entry fee is extremely low, and if you’re looking for a solo show…this could be your opportunity!

CALL for ENTRIES: 8 Fluid Ounces 2012

Posted on September 27, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BOTTOMS UP

I prefer to drink my soup. Chowder and stew? Give me a spoon and a bowl, but soup calls for the perfect cup. The handle has to be big enough for me to slide my four fingers through, warming my palm against the cup. Should be sturdy enough to keep the soup warm while I sip, but not too heavy to hold for the duration. This next Call might give me a way to drink my soup out of a beautiful piece of art. Trip to Louisiana anyone?

Check out this Call for Entries from The Glassell Gallery at the LSU School of Art in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for 8 Fluid Ounces, a ceramic cup show. This is a cool concept, and you have to check out the sales price cap. Sales just after the holidays can ONLY be good…

CALL for ENTRIES: Illusion and Chemistry

Posted on September 25, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

VERY DIRTY,
PLEASE

I love the fusion of classic dishes and modern cuisine. Deconstructed dishes are a perfect example. Like the caesar salad that comes with a mound of romaine, a poached egg and a sardine on crostini. Okay, that may be a little on the fringe. Maybe the pomegranite martini is a better example…shaken, not stirred. No, I prefer classic dirty martinis with lots o’ olives. Anyway, this next Call is a perfect opportunity to learn a new process…be it old & new to you or new & new to you. Think about it…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Kiernan Gallery in Lexington, VA for Illusion and Chemistry: The Alternative Process. This entry fee is low, and I love the concept of mixing old and new. Take a look!

CALL for ENTRIES: Illusion and Chemistry

Alternative process photography today is a hybrid of historical techniques and contemporary ideas. Despite, or perhaps because of, the digital revolution, early printing processes are in revival. Whether it is in reaction to digital, or a hybrid process aided by the technology, these techniques remain as evocative and dreamy as they ever were, bringing a unique style to present-day ideas. For Illusion and Chemistry: The Alternative Process, the Kiernan Gallery seeks images that use any alternative processing technique for any idea you wish to express.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists internationally.

MEDIA: Any photographic print created as a product of a non-traditional process is eligible. Processes may include but are not limited to: Albumen, Bromoil, Cyanotype, Daguerreotypes, Gum Bichromate, Platinotypes, Salt Prints, Temeraprints, Tintypes, Wet Plate Collodion. Hybrid or Combination images incorporating conventional (including digital) processes with hand-crafted applications are also eligible. Conventional techniques such as Silver Gelatin, Digital, and C-prints are not eligible.

DEADLINE:
November 25, 2011

NOTIFICATION:
On or around December 3, 2011

ENTRY FEE:
$25 for up to $5 images, then $5 per additional image up to a total of 10 images.

JUROR: Christopher James is an internationally known artist and photographer whose paintings and alternative process images have been exhibited in galleries and museums in this country and abroad.

His work has been published and shown extensively, including shows in The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The George Eastman House, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The first edition of his book, The Book of Alternative Photographic Process, received unprecedented critical acclaim and was the winner of The Golden Light Technical Book of the Year award.

In 2008, a greatly expanded, and lavishly illustrated 2nd edition was published by Delmar Cengage and has become universally recognized as the definitive text in the genre. A 3rd edition is currently underway and will be published in 2013. Christopher, after 13 years at Harvard University, is currently University Professor, and Director of the MFA in Photography program at The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University.

AWARDS: The juror will select up to 30 images for display in the main gallery, as well as up to an additional 40 for display in the online gallery. All accepted photographs are eligible for inclusion in a full color exhibition catalogue available for purchase from Blurb Books.

SALES: Artists exhibiting at the gallery may offer their work for sale. The Kiernan Gallery retains 30% of the sale price as commission.

NOTICE: There is a Thief Among Us…

Posted on September 24, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

IT ISN’T PEANUTS…
to me

I don’t abide people who steal food off my plate. No surprise, right? Well, rest assured, some people will try anyway. I love this blog. I have made wonderful relationships with artists and galleries across the world. I receive lots of email from you on topics ranging from art to restaurant recommendations. Thank you.

I am saddened to say; however, there is a thief among us. For those of you unfamiliar, there is a foul-tasting category of fruit out there called an autoblogger. They set up websites, subscribe to your RSS feed, and then publish your content as their own. I write about my husband and my child. Why would anyone think it is okay for them to republish my personal thought without my permission?

I also blog about my passion for food and art…usually at the request of gallery owners. And I want as many artists as possible to find their way HERE. I spend hundreds of hours a year working here because I love you guys. I reap the benefits of an expanded community.

If you are reading this blog post anywhere other than by email subscription or on www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it HAS BEEN STOLEN. I have taken lots of steps to find justice, and maybe they will work out. I am taking deep breaths and resisting the urge to post her name, home address, and phone number her, on facebook and twitter because I am trying not to be vengeful. But, honestly, right now…

I have Lost my Appetite.

ALL HUNG EXHIBIT: A Book About Death

Posted on September 24, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

SAD FOOD

Why is tuna cassarole, of all things, the “go to” dish to take to a family in mourning? I find tuna cassarole depressing, and depression is not supposed to be the end result of taking a covered dish to a family suffering loss. You are supposed to comfort them, make their life simpler by elimating the need to cook. I’m telling you… they throw all 14 of the tuna cassaroles in the trash. I’m just saying that if you feel the need to every bring food to my house, I prefer soup or chocolate anything. This next Call asks that you contemplate death…and maybe even the food that inevitably accompanies it. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries for the A Book About Death exhibit at the Quetzalcoatl Gallery in Seattle, Washington. This in an all-hung exhibit which will give you another exhibit on your resume, and there is no entry fee! Take a closer look…

ALL HUNG EXHIBIT:
