PRIMED for YOU!

What food does New York conjure for you? I have covered a lot of New York Calls on this blog and have made food references to pizza, hot dogs, vendor carts and even Ethiopian food. Somehow, I have overlooked steak. New York is home to some of the finest steakhouses in the world. So, when you attend the opening of this show, make sure you seek out a great prime rib in my honor.

CALL for ENTRIES: Nature Group Show

Posted on August 17, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

HOME-GROWN
Seafood?

I long to live off the grid, both for the consumption of energy resources AND for culinary purposes. I am not the greenest or environmentally conscious person that ever lived. My family and I do what we can. But, we long to live off the grid via solar power, cistern water collection and home-grown food. We want a life free of debt for electricity, water and groceries. I haven’t figured out how to tackle the seafood and cell phone issue, but I stand in awe of at least the idea of depending solely on nature for survival. This next call invites you to celebrate the wonder of nature. Great opportunity for a California show!

CALL for ENTRIES: 25th Annual National Juried

Posted on August 16, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

NUTS for
LOBSTER

When I think of Georgia, I start craving lobster bisque. Yes, I know that Georgia is the Peach State, but as I have mentioned before… I have peach issues. Georgia conjures images of trips to Savannah with my mother for glorious lunches at the River House of Caesar salad made fresh at our table, rich and creamy lobster bisque, and a huge slice of pecan pies. You can’t touch that with peaches. So this next Call is over 250 miles from Savannah, but it is still Georgia. If you can’t find the bisque while at the opening, pecan pie can’t be far away…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Narrative Image

Posted on August 15, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CANNED FOOD

There are very few truly black foods. Black truffles, black and white cookies, squid ink pasta… none of those are truly black in color. When I think of black foods, one shining, delicious example comes through immediately. Wild sturgeon roe from the Caspian Sea… Caviar. Yes, fish eggs. If you can’t get over what it is long enough to try it, you are missing out one of the culinary wonders of the world. It doesn’t have to cost thousands. Like wine out of a box, there is an audience for every grade of caviar. This next Call takes the black caviar out of the tin and into the box, the Black Box. Keep reading…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Black Box Gallery for Narrative: The Photographic Image. This Gallery covers all the expense of printing, matting & framing your images, and they don’t even have to be for sale. This is as hassle free as a photography exhibit gets. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Narrative

One Picture is worth a thousand words is a common belief that information can be conveyed more accurately and efficiently by images than words. And the power of narrative, or story telling is at the foundation of much of photography. Photograhers are creating complex and descriptive moments in time. Contemporary photographers are crafting and documenting new forms of a visual short story.

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to all photographers world wide, both amateur and professional.

MEDIA: Photography. Black Box will provide all framing, matting and printing for our exhibitions. The photographers who are selected into the exhibition by the juror will provide a high resolution Tiff file for our gallery to print for the exhibition. Black Box covers all printing and framing costs. Other arrangements can be accomodated, if artist wants to send in a print.

DEADLINE: September 4, 2011

Andres coordination of rich, stylized color palettes, elaborate sets, vintage wardrobes and dramatic lighting recall Hitchcock thrillers, fashion photography and tableau photographers like Gregory Crewdson, Jeff Wall, Annie Liebowitz, Larry Sultan and Cindy Sherman. Her work explores elliptical narratives, visually descriptive storytelling and constructed fantasy.

AWARDS: This exhibition will have 20 photographers included by the juror.

SALES: Black Box Gallery takes a 50% commission on all sales, 50% goes to the photographer. If artist prefers the print does not have to be for sale.

CALL for ENTRIES: Persona DUE MONDAY

Posted on August 14, 2011August 14, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

STUFFED like a SARDINE!

Am I still the only one that wonders what their food portrait would be? I don’t think so anymore. After my last posting of that questions, I got lots of replies with your food portrait match. My favorite came from a youth hostel in Europe…sardines. Quarters must be tight. Sardines are glorious in Caesar salad, make delightful sushi and melt in your mouth on pizza. This is a Reminder Call that encourages you to share your best wacky portraits. Will yours involve sardines? Surprisingly, mine doesn’t involve food…

Check out this Call for Entries for Persona from Darkroom Gallery in Essex Junction,Vermont. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget to tell the folks at Darkroom that you heard about them from www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
Persona

“We’re looking for something beyond the traditional portrait – more than just a eloquently captured face. We’re looking for uncanny, parody, distortions, subtle suggestions and in-your-face implications. For “Persona” we’re looking for portraits devised outside the box (or in one, might also be applicable in certain circumstances!) – we want to see the characters you’ve captured.

“There can more to a superb portrait than a superb likeness of an individual a the testimony to their soul can be visioned way beyond the eyes. How much can you tell us about a person with just one image? Their life story? Perhaps. How did you show the idiosyncrasies, quirks, that make your sitters both physically and emotionally, individuals? We can’t wait to fill our gallery walls with a newly visioned kind of face – portrait as character and caricature.”
JUROR: The portraits of Chris Buck have been surprising us, making us laugh, causing us to ask questions, and inspiring us to think outside of the box for years. His brand of image making (over two decades worth) infuses wit with uncommon gesture and implied meaning. He tells more than a story – he creates tales (sometimes through pure expression). Chris was the first recipient for the Arnold Newman Portrait Prize (2007), which we think he so rightfully deserved! His clients include IBM, Microsoft, Moviefone, Citibank, GQ, Blender and The New York Times Magazine. From uncanny celebrity portraits, to advertising humor, to editorial wisdom, Chris Buck has offered us a very special take on our world of Personas.

CALL for ENTRIES: Yosemite Renaissance

CHARTREUSE
ANYONE?

Does your family eat green or eco-friendly? My family has made progress toward going the eco-friendly green route in baby steps over the past few years both in our culinary exploits and energy consumption. However, I’ll admit that it rarely occurs to me to use my art to contribute to environmental awareness. I will do a lot of things to save the environment, just don’t ask me to drink the juice, ugh. This next call gives you the opportunity to use art to help protect Yosemite…

Check out the Call for Entries for the 27th Annual Yosemite Renaissance Exhibit. You can enter one piece for as little as $15 and help protect Yosemite National Park in new generations with your unique interpretation. It’s good to be green…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Yosemite Renaissance XXVII

Yosemite Renaissance is an annual competition and exhibition which is intended to encourage diverse artistic interpretations of Yosemite.

Its goals are to bring together the works of serious contemporary artists that do not simply duplicate traditional representations; to establish a continuum with past generations of Yosemite artists; and to help re-establish visual art as a major interpretive medium of the landscape and a stimulus to the protection of the environment.

Historically, the arts have played a very important role in the establishment of our State and National Parks. It is the hope of Yosemite Renaissance that they can be just as important in future efforts to preserve and protect that heritage.

ELIGIBILITY: The Yosemite Renaissance XXVII competition is open to all living artists. Subject matter is limited to recent works on the landscape, environment, wildlife and people of Yosemite or the environment of the Sierra. Both representational and non-representational submissions are accepted.

LIMITS: Each artist is limited to eight entries. No more than two entries from any artist will be included in the exhibit.

DEADLINE: November 10, 2011

NOTIFICATION: Late December

ENTRY FEE: There is a non-refundable entry/handling fee of $15.00 for each entry. Payment must accompany your entry submissions. Your check or money order should be made payable (only in U.S. dollars) to Yosemite Renaissance, Inc. One check may cover several entries from one artist (up to the eight entries allowed per artist).

JURORS: The Board of Directors of Yosemite Renaissance (consisting of artists, curators and administrators) will make the initial selection of works for the exhibition. Cash award-winners will be selected by independent judges to be announced.

AWARDS: At least $4,000 in cash awards will be distributed at the discretion of the judges. Purchase awards may be given as well. A special award of $300 will be given to the best piece inspired by Hetch Hetchy (pictured below) that the jurors select to be included in the exhibit.

CALL for ENTRIES: Off the Cuff

MUSTARD
du jour?

Spontaneous food creation is my favorite kitchen activity. There is nothing more exciting than finding a use for dijon mustard when it is the last seasoning you have left because you haven’t had time to make it to the grocery store this week. By the way, dijon mustard makes an excellent oil-free way to thicken homemade salad dressings. This next call asks you to submit your best spontaneous, unrehearsed photography for exhibition. I love this idea…

Without premeditation, the photographer captures what arises – acting as the mediator between the photograph and events as they unfold.

CALL for ENTRIES: Art & Psyche

Posted on August 10, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

LAY ME DOWN…
on chocolate

It has been suggested that I seek professional help for my food obsession. However, like any well-seasoned food addict, I prefer to think of myself as food-educated or food-curious, not just food-obsessed. I’m certain a psychoanalyst could figuratively feast on my many stufffed, food-related issues. Where’s the couch? (Speaking of couches, check out the cake couch entitled “You Can’t Have Your Cake and Eat It Too”, the chocolate couch was created by Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich for an art-exhibit appropriately named “Let Them Eat Art”.) Maybe this next call would give me some insight. Never miss an opportunity to self-analyze, ha…

ORANGE you…
TEMPTED?

We’ve all been told not to play with our food. And, none of us really understood why parents made this blanket statement. As an adult, I still don’t understand why. If my kid wants to play with his food then have to eat it while it is cold… well, those are his lumps in his potatoes, not mine. Apparently, I’m not alone in valuing the play-value of food. Take a look at a great book called Food Play by Joost Elffers and Saxton Freymann (not paid sponsors, I assure you). This next Call certainly encourages you to play, but not necessarily with your food. Investigate for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Toys: Re-Invent, Re-Imagine, Re-Discover. This show offers a GREAT OPPORTUNITY for holiday art sales. Don’t miss this…

CALL for ENTRIES:
TOYS, Re-Invent, Re-Imagine, Re-Discover

This exhibit seeks works of art that use toys and children’s playthings as the inspiration, subject matter, and/or medium with the goal of creating playful, amusing, nostalgic, or poignant commentaries on the role of toys in our lives. Many of us hold fond memories of special toys that yielded hours of entertainment and can vividly remember when a treasured toy was lost, broken, stolen, or otherwise retired.

For these reasons and more, toys can be a powerful art medium, conjuring up both treasured and difficult memories of childhood, past friendships, and other recollections. From the utterly outrageous to the sappy and sentimental, this exhibit will include all media, small to large scale. The exhibit will be installed in the Main Gallery of the Arts Building, but a small number of outdoor works will be considered for the Sculpture Garden. The jury seeks works that are engaging, and fun, and above all, playful!

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to artists age 18 and older working in the U.S.

MEDIA: All media types are welcome; small to large scale; indoors and outdoors.

DEADLINE: August 26, 2011

NOTIFICATION: Via email on or before September 2, 2011

ENTRY FEE: Artists must submit a $25 non-refundable entry fee for up to four entries. Entry fee must be paid by check, money order, or credit card. Each entry must be submitted with three images of the artwork, including one overall view of the artwork, one detail shot, and one installation shot. There is a returned check fee of $25.

JUROR: Andrew Wodzianski, Professor of Art, Division of Communication, Art & Humanities, College of Southern Maryland

AWARDS: Annmarie will present cash awards to outstanding work. Jurors will review installed works (not application images) for award selection. If possible, selection will occur prior to the exhibit opening and awards will be presented at the opening reception. Award amounts are contingent upon sponsorship; typically there are at least three awards ranging from $250-$750 each. All award winning artists will receive an invitation for a solo or group show.

SALES: Works selected for exhibition cannot be removed before the end of the exhibition. Should a sale resulting from the exhibition occur, Annmarie will retain a 40% commission of the listed sale price.

BEANS to NUTS

You know what I haven’t eaten in years? Boston Baked Beans candy. Remember those red, candy coated peanuts you used to love? They don’t really look like boston baked beans to me, although I do suppose they have one thing in common the their more savory counterpart… a dose of protein that is well-hidden in sugar. Well, you don’t have to go to the Boston area to get either of these culinary treats; however, it might be a goofy distraction while you are in town for your show opening once you apply to this next Call.
