CALL for ENTRIES: Sugarloaf

Posted on January 26, 2011January 26, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PLAN AHEAD

My family is on a savings spree. We sat down the first week of the year and decided on goals for the year. Many of those goals require cash. Cash necessitates saving. Saving, in my house, means cutting the food budget. Grocery shopping is now preceeded by a menu and detailed grocery list and eating out has been cut to one sit-down meal and one fast-food meal a week. This next Call gives you an opportunity to plan ahead.

This Call for Entries is for the 13 Sugarloaf Fine Art & Crafts festivals. I don’t publish many festival calls, but Sugarloaf is among the country’s finest. Take a look, and find a festival for you…or enter them all.

CALL for ENTRIES: Outlandish

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

EARTHY REWARDS

I love earthy foods. Give me grassy asparagus and a loamy merlot, and I’m a happy girl. However, just because something is earthy or natural doesn’t mean I want to eat it. I will pass on the lemongrass and tofu, but you can toss a little wheat germ in my pancakes, though. This Call will give you a chance to get up close and personal with nature…from the mundane to the outlandish.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek, California for Outlandish: Contemporary Depictions of Nature.

CARRYING A TORCH

As I have mentioned on so many occasions, I love kitchen gadgets. I love everything from 1940s egg scales to the idea of a torch for carmelizing creme brulee.

VISITING ARTIST WANTED: Black Hawk College

PUSHING MY BUTTONS

My child cannot cook. In his defense, he is a brilliant, nerdy eleven year old that loves to read and dance and play games. He makes great grades… but some things escape him.

He will be so embarassed when he finds out I posted this one day, but… I left him with the responsibility to microwave a frozen meal for his lunch while I was busy blogging one day. Moments later he came to me and said, “I pushed the button, and it didn’t open.”

Yep, you know the little perforated semi-circle on the back of the box that you’re supposed to push in to create a thumb hole that allows you to rip the box open? MmmHmm, in his literal little mind, there was apparently supposed to be an auto open once he pushed the button. We laugh now, but talk to me in ten years. It won’t be funny if he’s still living with me then. He just needs guidance about nuance, right? He just needs to understand not everything is literal? This Call may allow you to pass along a little instruction to someone that needs the guidance.

Check out this Call to Artists for a short-term Visiting Artist to teach a two-day workshop at Black Hawk College. Don’t miss this opportunity to apply! Let someone else learn from your experience… both good and bad.

DUTIES: The visiting artist will discuss his/her body of work, methods and materials, and experiences with undergraduate studio art students over a period of two days. Demonstrations, if possible, are encouraged.

ELIGIBILITY: Visual artists working in any art form or medium are welcome to apply.

DEADLINE: February 18, 2011

ENTRY FEE: There is no fee to submit a proposal.

STIPEND: The selected artist will receive a stipend of $1000 for his/her time and travel expenses.

CALL for ENTRIES: It Gets Better

Posted on January 13, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

It Gets Better

I don’t understand hate. There is no food reference today because I cannot find a way to incorporate humor into this issue.

Please take advantage of the Call for Entries from the 13 Forest Gallery to take a stand against hate and help let someone out there know that It Gets Better. The deadline is January 19th, but you can email entries…so don’t delay.

CALL for ENTRIES: It Gets Better/Make It Better

Social change starts with the individual. One gay teenager jumps off a bridge and thousands are motivated to share their coming-out stories.

One person can also serve as a positive symbol to effect social change. A woman keeps her seat on the bus and a social revolution is born.

By working to better the world, you actually make things better for yourself. Studies of collective action have shown that when people identify with a particular cause, and work towards social change, the change often occurs within—people feel legitimized. Empowerment is not necessarily even reliant on the movement’s success: victory occurs in the very struggle of self-expression and self-empowerment.

Entries for It Gets Better/Make It Better should explore this theme of how the individual exists within and can affect the community. One is many.

ELIGIBILTIY: Artists 18 yrs old or older from all of the United States, figurative or abstract two-dimensional art.

DEADLINE: January 19, 2011

ENTRY FEE: $15 per application

VENUE: 13FOREST Gallery, 167A Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington, MA 02474

JUROR: Paula Tognarelli, Executive Director, Griffin Museum

COMMISSION: 45% to artist, 10% to benefit P-FLAG: Parents, Families, & Friends of Lesbians and Gays
