ARTIST RESIDENCY: Roswell, New Mexico

IN THE HOURGLASS

The thought of a little more time with family at breakfast or dinner is a dream in my household. For now we are grouchy, non-speaking, egg-gulping, panic-stricken and running late during weekday mornings, but weekends are full of blue-berry pancakes and eggs benedict. 

Are you looking for the gift of time? Check out the 12-month residency opportunity in Roswell, New Mexico that offers space, time, and even a stipend! Don’t miss it… 

ARTIST RESIDENCY
OPPORTUNITY:

Roswell, New Mexico

Well known by artists as the “Gift of Time”, the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program was established in 1967 to provide gifted studio based visual artists with the unique opportunity to concentrate on their work in a supportive, collegial environment for a whole year. This “gift of time” allows artists to work without distraction in an effort to break new ground and focus on individual goals. 

Learn more about the Roswell Artist Residency Program online!The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program serves as a contemporary counterpoint to the traditional arts of the Southwest, reinforces the Program’s interest in strengthening the vitality of art in New Mexico and has been a catalyst in broadening community understanding of contemporary art. 

CURRENT DEADLINE: December 1, 2010 

MEDIA: In-residence grants are offered to artists involved in painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography, installation and other fine art media. Grants are not made in the disciplines of performance art or production crafts. 

HOUSING & STUDIO FACILITIES: The studios are large, open spaces that measure approximately 20’x25’x10′. These areas are well-lighted and convertible to the artist’s requirements within reason. The printmaking facility is a small, fully operational studio – basically lithographic/etching in nature. 

Artists are housed in a complex of six houses and 10 studios located on forty acres of land. Each artist is provided with a house that can amply accommodate either a single person or a family. Rent, utilities (except telephone), repairs and maintenance costs are borne by the Program. Houses are furnished with major furniture items, appliances and utensils. (continued below)

STIPEND:  A stipend, or living allowance, of $800 per month is offered along with $100 per month for every dependent living with the grantee. Currently, the cost of art materials is borne by the grantee.

FEATURED ARTIST: T.S. McFadden

CRUNCHY GOODNESS!

The $2 Art Contest is getting to be like pulling teeth.  And, I can’t afford to loose my teeth.  While I love silky bisques and hollandaise, a blogger cannot live by hollandaise alone.  What good is the hollandaise when you’re dreaming of corn nuts and have pulled all your teeth?  I think this month’s entries  for the $2 Art Contest were extraordinarily tasty.

The entries I receive each month for the $2 Art Contest are incredibly varied.  I see work from every imaginable media, from artists at every level of their careers–some polished and PR savvy, some more vulnerable, but honest.  Because it isn’t a level playing field, it isn’t really just about choosing the best art.  I love having the honor of reviewing all the work, but I am made anxious by the necessity of choosing.

Learn more about artist T.S. McFadden!The Featured Artist chosen from September entries is T.S. McFadden.  McFadden’s work hits so many of the right notes for me–multiple media, over-the-top devotion to the creative process, and a love for found objects and recycled materials. 

FEATURED ARTIST:
T.S. McFadden

T.S. McFadden is an intuitive artist whose prolific body of work explores process, internal dialoques and facilitation.  He was born in a small town in Ohio and raised in the country.   He is now based in New York.

McFadden has sculpted and painted since he was a child and is self-taught but for a handful of private lessons.  He studied in the fine arts, graduated from Kent State University and has spent time in Europe studying other artists.

Mother Grand 8x8 by T.S.McFaddenWhile I am in love with the Elephant Graveyard series on which McFadden is currently working, I chose to focus this feature on McFadden’s Mother Series of paintings.  As I have shouted from the mountain tops many times, my artistic skill does not lie in painting media.  But, I find my inadequacy in this area makes me appreciate the talent in others even more.

The Mother Series is what the artist calls an abstract expression of logic.  That will serve as a huge contradiction for some.  The next contradiction will come from the idea that these paintings are a sort of recycled assemblage.

“This series was created using remnants from my palattes, which were scraped and pulled and meant for the garbage.  Too haunting and too beautiful to be discarded, they were stacked and saved for years.  The kinetic energy found in the palatte is art in its purest form–it is the unintentional genesis of intention.” 

Mother Grand 24x24 by TS McFaddenThere’s that logic for you.

I always send a quiz to my Featured Artist picks to gain a little insight and help me feel inspired to write.  Some of the questions are food related, some are art related, some try to unveil the inspiration behind it all.  What have a learned from the quizzes as a whole? 

Artists don’t often like
to give direct answers, ha.
 

McFadden’s answers did not disappoint.  When asked about his favorite foods, he reinforced the notion of contradictions.  How do you claim corn nuts and sashimi among your favorites?  I suspect those choices just reinforce how the pull of opposites can produce a cohesive balance. 

Mother in Silver IX 10x10 by T.S. McFaddenWhat do you think?

When asked about his favorite media, McFadden decided upon Experimentation.  Perfect. 

And what school of art does feel
his work fits?  Intuition.

Even more perfect. 

 Energy, emotion and circumstance direct him.  He uses layers of color to examine, define and mask an inner world.  Organic and graphic elements invade the space, push the calm and subdue the conflict.

McFadden considers his creativity intrinsic and his pronouncement of it solely environmental. 

He is a painter and a sculptor, a published author, a writer of poetry and music, a furniture designer and whatever else the moment he is living in requires him to be. 

Thank you, T.S. McFadden, for the Mother Series…and for reminding us of the old school definition of “artistic.”  I, for one, can’t wait to see the Elephant Graveyard series!

CALL for ENTRIES: The American Dream

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!

RED, WHITE & RHUBARB

How often have you heard the sentence, “What’s more American than pie?”  Honestly, I’m not a huge fan.  I know you are shocked that I am not over the moon about any food; however, apples just aren’t my thing.  I like raw Granny Smith apples with a generous dash of salt, but I just don’t want them cooked.  Let start a new saying, “What’s more American than rhubarb pie?”  You heard it here first, folks.  This next Call from the Woman Made Gallery is also looking to redefine the idea of American.

Check out this Call for Entries called The American Dream: A Juxtaposition from the Woman Made Gallery in Chicago.  I’ve shown work at Woman Made before, and I always admire the curatorial eye of their jurors.  The fee is reasonable, and you know how I love a theme.  Take a closer look…

Visit the Woman Made Gallery!CALL for ENTRIES:
The American Dream

It has been since the Founding Fathers declared in 1776 that “all men are created equal” and Americans were granted the privilege of “certain unalienable rights” such as “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” that people began to search for the abstract notion of ‘The American Dream.’  

The American Dream is a philosophy that has grown out of the perspective of the people living it and has become as individual as those who still seek to pursue it and understand it.

Visit the Woman Made Gallery!The American Dream: a Juxtaposition seeks to define our current interpretation of ‘The American Dream’ while acknowledging what this dream exposes our minds, bodies, and environment to. 

MEDIA:  This exhibition is open to all media that address the hopes, promises, and prosperity of ‘The American Dream’ as well as the inconsistencies and consequences of ‘The American Dream’.

Online Submissions: Submit jpgs of up to three of your works on their website.  Please include an artist statement and a $30 entry feePlease note the deadline is FIVE days away.  You don’t have time to mail an entry…use the online submission.

Juror: Catherine Blackwell Peña  (BFA/MFA) is a working artist and educator. Her artwork blends photography, installation, public art, and sculptural elements in works that challenge the viewer to reposition their perspective physically and mentally. Reoccurring themes in her work are humans altered relationship with nature and the boundaries and limits of our built environment.

Peña’s work has been exhibited in-group shows in Seattle, New York, Chicago, Memphis, St. Louis, Boulder, Las Vegas, and Kansas City.  Outside of her studio practice, Peña is dedicated to teaching, and exploring Public Art and Social Practices not only through educational settings but also in collaborations with nonprofits and community organizations.

Peña currently teaches at Memphis College of Art and Christian Brothers University in Memphis, TN and also acts as a Public Art Workshop Coordinator for Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital.
