GREEN ART: Yosemite Renaissance

Posted on September 14, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

CHARTREUSE ANYONE?

Is your family green or eco-friendly? My family has made progress toward going the eco-friendly green revolution in baby steps over the past few years with a little help from our friends over at Toni’s Treehouse. However, I’ll admit that it never occurred to me that my art could offer a greater opportunity to contribute to environmental awareness. Just don’t ask me to drink the juice, ugh.

Check out the Call for Entries for the 26th Annual Yosemite Renaissance Exhibit. You can enter one piece for as little as $15 and help create an ongoing desire for the environmental protection of Yosemite National Park in new generations with your unique interpretation of the park. It’s good to be green…

CALL for ENTRIES: Yosemite Renaissance XXVI

Yosemite Renaissance is an annual competition/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 XXVI 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.

MEDIA: Original artwork may be in any medium. Size is limited to works that can be shipped in containers not exceeding maximum U.P.S. dimensions of 130 inches, length and girth combined. Triptychs or other multi-image pieces (exhibited under one title) should not exceed 48 x 48.”

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

DEADLINE: November 13, 2010

SELECTION & AWARD PROCEDURES: Artists must submit one digital file for each artwork entered. Up to three digital files may be submitted for each three-dimensional piece. Please do not submit slides.

1. Preliminary and final selection for inclusion in the exhibit will be made by the jurors from the digital files. Between 35 and 50 pieces will be selected for the exhibition.

2. Artists whose works are selected from the digital files will ship their original works for the exhibition at the Yosemite Museum Gallery. (If the originals differ significantly in appearance from the digital files which were submitted they may be disqualified.)

3. From the original works the independent jurors will select award-winners to be announced on the night of the opening reception, Friday, February 25, 2011.

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.

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.

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).

ENTRY PROCEDURES: Entry is by digital files only. No slides. Digital files should be submitted in the form of CDs or DVDs (include all of your entries on a single CD or DVD).

For three-dimensional works artists may submit up to 3 digital files per entry to show significant views.

Filenames should start with the artist’s lastname and include a brief title (Example: Kennedy_Half_Dome_Winter. jpg)

ART SUCCESS: All the Answers

Posted on September 12, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

WHAT I KNOW

Happy Birthday to this blog! That’s right folks, I published the very first AAAD blog post one year ago today. And, I am at a loss for what to say.

I don’t know how to mark this anniversary…this birthday. I suppose could use this post to thank all the people that have become true assets to me personally as an artist and blog editor, but you don’t wanna read that?

What I really want to say is…

I have all the answers to success in the art world.
The perfect show is…
The perfect gallery is…
The perfect art deadline is…
The recipe for success is…

But, the truth is… I don’t know anymore about that than when I started a year ago. All of you that read this blog have taught me an enormous amount, and what I’ve learned has changed the face of this blog. For example:

I no longer provide long lists of show opportunities. One show a day with rare exception. You don’t like reading long lists, and I don’t like writing them. The more thorough, personal approach to each show is what sets AAAD apart, I think.

My readers don’t leave comments. I don’t take it personally that I get so few comments because you email me personally. I LOVE that you feel comfortable enough to drop me a line instead of leaving a comment. I have only had a few complaints over the past year including one reader who ever so gently reprimanded me for being less thorough than usual in one of my posts. Thanks for keeping me on my game.

Alot of my readers are foodies. I can’t tell you how many $2 Art Contest entries I get that with the subject line “I’m a Peach.” I LOVE that you really read this blog. Featured Artists are usually sent a quiz that has a few questions about food, and inevitable they are a fan of both chocolate AND junk food. LOVE it.

Just a note: The most recently chosen Featured Artist will be published in a few days, and those answers were riotously funny.

Gallery Directors are real people. I, of course, have always known this tidbit having been a gallery director; however, I have learned through their personal interaction with me via phone and email that Gallery Directors still have a PASSION for art.

Artists view gallery directors and jurors as the gatekeepers sometimes, but most of the Gallery Directors I know want to show more art than they can find the space or money to promote.

Success stories are real. I get regular reports from some of you about the shows that you entered and were juried into successfully. Yeah! Thank you for working hard and producing the work that is getting you into shows. You’ve also kept me updated on the less than successful entries…which has been enlightening…because there are patterns.

I want to close this blog with a little entertainment and motivation. There are artists and galleries and blogs that inspire me everyday. Here is a tiny handful:

Walking Off the Big Apple by Teri Tynes. I do not live in NYC, but reading Teri’s daily escapades reminds me that life is for the living and that it won’t come to you…you have to go explore.

Images by Catherine Roach. She is a Featured Artist on this site, and I find her work eternally optimistic, funny and occasionally a little dark and twisted. She is always eager and full of life, and sometimes I really need that.

Toni’s Treehouse by Toni Turbeville Morton. This blog is a quirky combination of eco-friendly living and recipes with mommy stories thrown in. This blog reminds me that life ISN’T really all about art, and sometimes I need that reminder.

Ogle’s Broom Shop and The Cliff Dweller’s Gallery. I live in Gatlinburg, TN which is home of the largest group of independent artisans in North America. And my work does not always fit into their mold, but they have welcomed me with an open heart.

Thank you for being a reader of ArtAndArtDeadlines.com!

I would love for you to leave a comment today…
or send me an email since we know old habits die hard, ha!

SUSHI SUSHI SUSHI

I often post international artist residency opportunities and get lots of email in return that basically says, “I wish.” And, believe me, I understand the frustration of needing the inspiration and time and space of a residency, but not being able to afford the luxury of a month in Spain or Chile.

Posted on September 7, 2010September 9, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I CANNOT TELL A LIE

I love National and International juried art shows. As much as I love a theme, I also love the sort of County Fair idea of the best and the brightest that the art world has to offer all lined up for the viewer regardless of media, content or technique. I’m not suggesting a low-brow affair or a pie-eating contest. I simply applaud the optimism is takes to put on a show expecting the spectacular arrival of little (and big) gems from parts unknown.

CALL for ENTRIES: New York Photo Show

Posted on September 5, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

SIFT THIS!

Newer isn’t always better. I have wooden spoons and cookie sheets in my kitchen whose original material compositions are virtually undetectable. Sometimes you stick with what you love, but sometimes folks come along regardless of age and instantly recognize the value of something that has worked for someone else forever…like my husband’s second hand flour sifter. Discover an oldie (but goodie) of your own with this show…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Smith Township Arts Council for the 31st Annual Juried Photography Exhibition. This year the theme is alternative processes or contemporary use of historical process, and it is juried by Joy Goldkind. Maybe it is time to break out the pinhole camera again…

Call for Entries: 31st Annual Juried Photography Exhibition

The subject matter for this exhibit is limited only by your imagination! Smith Township Arts Council and Juror Joy Goldkind are looking to show the contemporary use of historical processes. Show them the way in which you bring the past and future together.

Bromoil, albumen, collotype, kallitype, lazertran, anthotype, ziatype, carbon, argyrotype, cyanotype, daguerreotype, gum bichromate, salted paper, photo-gravure, solarplate, tintype, platinum and palladium, van dyke, hand applied emulsions, wet-plate collodion, silver gelatin and combinations of all of the above will be considered.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all photography. Entries may not have been shown previously at Mills Pond House Gallery. Maximum Frame Size 48″ width

ENTRY DEADLINE: November 10, 2010

ENTRY FEE: $45 for up to 3 entries, $30 for STAC members. Artists may join at time of entry.

LIABILITY / SALES: Work will be insured for the duration of the exhibition. STAC will receive a 30% gallery commission on all work sold.

NOTIFICATION: Emailed November 23

GALLERY REQUIREMENTS: Shipping, insurance and display requirements are posted at www.stacarts.org/exhibits

AWARDS:

1st Place: $300 Excellence in Photography Award Sataporn Suravichai Memorial, Winner’s Exhibition Opportunity, One-year STAC Artist Membership

2nd Place: $100 Award of Merit

ABOUT THE JUROR: Joy Goldkind was 50 years old before she took her first photography class, though her back-ground was always based in the fine arts. De-spite an unusually late start, Goldkind’s career as a fine arts photographer has progressed rather rapidly.

Her photographs of nude danc-ers, geishas, drag queens, ballerinas, circus per-formers, etc. have not gone unnoticed. Some-times inspired from a fantasy world, the use of double exposures and slow shutter speeds help Joy to change what is true and expected into a more surrealistic scene. The old world beauty and quality they possess is in no doubt influ-enced by a deep interest in art history.

With the use of the historic Bromoil process as a tool to express her fine art portraits, Joy adds a layer of mystery to her photographs. Very popular in the early 1900’s, the Bromoil process was favored by pictorial photographers who used it to add a more artistic rendering to their work. Each piece is individually inked by hand, therefore no two prints are identical.

Posted on September 4, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

SOMETIMES YOU FEEL
LIKE A NUT

Some things just go together. And, athough I always think of myself as a strong, individual personality. I’ve come to realize that I clearly value being part of a duo. My husband Jon and I are rarely apart. My friend Toni and I are “two nuts in a pod,” and even my artwork has become collaborative. Which duo in your life adds the pea-nuty center?

He has completed eleven major exhibition and catalogue projects including The Romantic Vision of Michael Brophy, Where Sky Meets Earth: The Luminous Landscapes of Victoria Adams, and two Northwest Biennials.

Under his leadership of the artistic program, Tacoma Art Museum has received major grants from the National Endowment for the Arts for a collection handbook of the Northwest collection and from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts for the forthcoming exhibition Art, AIDS, America.
