CALL for ENTRIES: Open to Interpretation

Posted on March 21, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PARING in PAIRS

I must confess that I do less cooking that my daily ramblings might indicate. My dearest husband does much of the cooking in our household, and he does it wonderfully. But the times I truly enjoy are the times we spend in the kitchen together. And, as I get older, I have found that artistic collaboration keeps me motivated as well. This call offers you an opportunity to produce work while still being someone else’s muse. Great idea…

Check out this Call for Entries from Open to Interpretation’s juried book competition Water’s Edge. Have your work become the artistic inspiration for a literary masterpiece today!

CALL for ENTRIES: Open to Interpretation

Open to Interpretation is a juried book competition of photography, poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction. Each book begins with a themed call for photos. The chosen photos become the literary inspiration for the writers’ submissions. A book is created that matches each winning photo with two stories or poems that offer different interpretations of the image. The unique collaboration adds new dimensions to both the photos and the written word.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all

MEDIA:
Photography

THEME:
Water’s Edge

DEADLINE: The early deadline is April 26, 2011. The final deadline is June 7, 2011.

NOTIFICATION: June 20, 2011

ENTRY FEE: $30 for 5 images, $10 each additional if entered by April 26, 2011. $35 for 5 images, $10 each additional if entered by June 7, 2011.

JUROR: As founder and director of Vision Quest Photo Workshops, Douglas Beasley provides workshops that emphasize personal expression and creative vision over the mechanics of camera use. He believes in helping each student find their voice rather than making pretty pictures. Click on the Wind in Water photograph of Lake Michigan by Juror Douglas Beasley pictured right to see his portfolios.

Much of his personal work, including Sacred Sites of the Lakota, Disappearing Green Space, Silent Witness: Genocide and the Landscape, Sacred Places and Earth Meets Spirit are supported by grants and commissions and have been widely exhibited and collected. His second book Earth Meets Spirit will be coming out in late 2010. Doug continues to explore the notion of what is sacred in his photography and in his life. He lives in a passive solar home surrounded by trees in Saint Paul, MN. When not out traveling the world he can be found tending his Japanese gardens or enjoying a strong cup of coffee while listening to loud music. Personal heroes include Jimi Hendrix, the Dalai Lama and whoever invented the espresso machine.

AWARDS: $300 Jurors Selection Award

POTATOES or EGGS

There comes a time when you have to be more selective about kitchen gadgets. I have so many, and I love infomercials so much that if I didn’t have strict guidelines in place, I would definitely have to open a kitchen gadget ebay store to justify all of my late-night expenditures. Super dooper potato peeler, I’m there. Gadget that makes my boiled eggs square, love it, but no. This next opportunity is a practical potato peeler in a world of square egg shows. It’s worth a look…

OPEN CALL: Art for Holy Cross

Posted on March 18, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PEPPERONI for the SOUL

Chicken soup is the ideal healing food for some. I prefer what my family calls cardboard pizza and chips ‘n’ onion dip. Nope, there no sense in it, but that is my food habit when sick. I can’t tell you how many people I know that turned to art when they became desperately sick or injured. The creation of art can be cathartic, and having work available when you are sick has a way of transporting you away from your own situation. Submit work to this show to be a part of the creation and healing…

YOURS

I think if I were a fruit (I can hear you laughing… cut it out… I mean the fruit thing literally), I would be a pomegranate. Red IS my favorite color. My exterior can be a little tough.

CALL for ENTRIES: 3×3 Mag Children’s Show

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

PERSONAL ZOO

One of my very favorite foods as a kid was animal crackers. I liked to line them up in pairs and then bite off their heads and legs before eating the bodies. A little gruesome, and I’m not certain what that says about me. But I do crack my goldfish crackers in half before I eat them even now. Do food interpreters (like dream interpreters) exist? Clearly I need one. My prescription? Buy a box of animal crackers for inspiration before entering this next call.

CALL for ENTRIES: Mail Art for Prison Library

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

FOOD for THOUGHT

The more you know about anything the better off you are about everything. I attended Johnson & Wales culinary school just long enough to learn sauce and knife skills that have been worth every penny I spent. I use those skills everyday of my life. This next mail art call offers you the opportunity to provide educational benefits that not only will provide prisoners a chance to learn which impacts their lives, but their chance to learn impacts YOU too.

Check out this Call for Entries for Postmarked 2011, California’s largest mail art exhibition that benefits the Prison Library Project. Jump start your creative juices with a mail art project today! Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Postmarked 2011

For many years, inmates from around the country wrote to the Prison Library Project and they were amazed by the artwork that accompanied requests for books. These beautiful illustrations were their inspiration for a mail art exhibition and fundraiser.

Postmarked was developed seven years ago for the Claremont Forum’s Prison Library Project, which sends books free to prisoners in the U.S. upon their request. Providing education and opportunity to learn about mail art, view new and established mail artists’ works, and to participate in the experience of creating and sending mail art. Now in its 7th year, this exhibition is one of the largest in California.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all.

MEDIA: Please send submissions of mail art of any size and medium to: Postmarked 2011, Prison Library Project, 112 Harvard #303, Claremont CA 91711. ONLY the side with the official USPS Postmark/barcode will be displayed. Your mail art may be painted, stamped, collaged, printed, and/or otherwise decorated or constructed. It may be any shape and size that will go through the mail and receive an official postmark.

Your submission may get worn or torn through the mail, but the handling process is an important part of the theme. Only the side with the postmark can be displayed, due to space limitations, but the art doesn’t have to be limited to that side. You may include any message inside the envelope, which will be opened only by the person who purchases the art envelope. You may submit more than one piece… and begin sending now!

DEADLINE: Entries must be postmarked by May 31, 2011.

ENTRY FEE: No entry fee.

WHY SUPPORT the PLP? “Rehabilitation was at one time a stated goal of the prison system. Today, funding for most educational and rehabilitation programs, including prison libraries, has been cut or completely eliminated. It is a distressing fact that today’s U.S. prisons are increasingly about punishing people and warehousing human beings, not about, rehabilitation, or education.”

“This is where PLP steps in. We believe that everyone deserves access to literature and educational materials, including people trying to work towards social change, self-empowerment or rehabilitation within the incarceration system.

The U.S. has less than 5 percent of the world’s population, but more than a quarter of the world’s prisoners.

Nearly one percent of American adults are incarcerated, the highest rate in the world, but many prisoners have little access to books or educational material. They face substantial barriers and are cut off from family and friends on the outside. While some prisons have libraries, many do not. Of those that do, access and selection can be extremely limited. Usually, prisoners are not allowed to receive books from friends or family. Thus, programs like ours are one of the few options available to these individuals.” –from the PLP website.

I absolutely love heirloom vegetables. I love the idea of preserving the genetic “bloodline,” if you will, of a fruit or vegetable easily distinguished from the genetically modified, hot-house varieties we are all used to eating. However, I can admit that sometimes a tomato is just a tomato. This next call recognizes that sometimes art is just art. They don’t want your CV, resume, statment or anything else–just your art.

My grandma says you should never talk about money, politics or religion in polite company. So all I’m going to say about war is that MRE’s (meals ready to eat) sound really unappealing to me.
