CALL FOR SUBMISSSIONS: New York Show

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

THE JOY OF DISCOVERY

One of the joys posting for ArtAndArtDeadlines.com is opening my email and receiving Calls that you just know will be the golden egg in some artist’s Easter egg hunt.

I love being a part of new beginnings–both for artists and for galleries. My experience is that gallery directors are (at least at the beginning of a project) hopeful–even expectant–of what is to come.

My experience is also that artists spend a lot of time (at least in the beginning) hopeful–even expectant–that a gallery director is going to fall in love with their work.

The joy if this post is that it may–just maybe– fulfill the hope of both for a handful of my readers. The deadline is July 18th…DO NOT MISS this opportunity!

Never fear. They aren’t asking you for cash–just good work.

CALL for PROPOSALS: Times Square

Posted on June 30, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

LOOKING FOR
AN ART SHOW IN NYC?

When you think about your dream gallery show, how many of you think of New York City? I think of Atlanta, Phoenix, Los Angeles, London…and New York City, of course. Tell me–What is more New York City than Times Square itself? Thanks to the Times Square Alliance, you may just have an opportunity to see your work in Times Square.

Check out this
Call for Submissions

Times Square is one of the world’s most renowned urban destinations. Its dazzling lights and teeming crowds offer an overwhelming sense of possibility. Having helped to make Times Square clean and safe, the Times Square Alliance is now working to nurture the creativity, energy and edge that are the essence of Times Square.

For that reason, they are working with a variety of arts-based curatorial groups to bring public art projects to Times Square. Times Square Arts, their pilot public art program, will incorporate diverse art elements into Times Square’s streetscape, thereby expressing the area’s uniqueness and enriching the pedestrian experience.

The Times Square Alliance seeks letters of interest from arts organizations and artists across disciplines to present contemporary art projects and art events in the public spaces in and around Times Square.

In a one-page letter, applicants should propose a single project or series for anytime between September 2010 and December 2012.

Artists and arts organizations are encouraged to propose projects that address the unique nature and rich history of Times Square. Projects should be able to have an impact in a space defined by dynamic activity and continuous, competing visual stimuli.

Organizations, curators and artists are encouraged to consider how their projects will change or effect the space during the presentation and how the 350,000 people here every day (as well millions of virtual viewers) will interact with the presentation.

Public spaces to consider as locations for art projects and events include the new Broadway plazas and Duffy Square in Times Square and other public and private spaces throughout the Theater District, 42nd Street and 8th Avenue.

Through its Public Art Program, the Times Square Alliance brings temporary high-quality, cutting-edge art and performance to Times Square’s public spaces, so that it is known globally as a place where ordinary people encounter authentic, ever-changing urban art in multiple forms and media.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Functional Art

Posted on June 28, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I know a large number of artists that take great pride in the fact that their work is not “retail art,” and I know quite a handful of artists are proud to have their work sell in retail galleries because they can make a living doing what they love. If you are looking for a way to bridge the gap between fine art and the retail world, consider functional art as an option. Here’s a great call for functional art:

Call for entries

The Art of Applied Design is open to all applied artists age 18 or above, working in the U.S. and abroad. There is no limit on the number of objects that may be entered. Entries must be original one-of-a-kind works of the submitter, completed within the preceding three years (2007 to 2010), and be represented by high quality digital images.

Evaluation will be based upon the creative uniqueness and originality of the work, evidence of excellence in craftsmanship, and quality of the photographic images provided by the artist/designer.

Exhibition of accepted work will include notation of the artist’s name, country of residence, and e-mail address to facilitate the independent sales of exhibited work.

One entry in each material category will be selected for recognition as Best of Show for that category.

Eligibility:

All submitted works must be functional objects typically used within interior spaces that also exhibit unique, innovative, inspirational, creative artistry. Submitters must identify the primary material from which a work is constructed. Entries will be evaluated against others made from that same material.

Acceptable material categories are fiber (including paper), wood, metal, clay, and glass/plastic. Examples of appropriate objects include furnishings (hard and soft), utensils, containers, fixtures, and other objects that enhance function and physical comfort within interior spaces. Works selected for display within the DHM Digital Gallery will exhibit nontraditional, innovative design.

Not eligible for submission are the fine arts (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.); objects that are purely decorative; works that are representative of functional objects but are not, themselves, functional; photography; video; architecture or architectural drawings; graphic designs; lighting designs (i.e., the projection of illumination in space); or functional objects not typically used within interior spaces.

Images:

Only high quality digital jpg images will be accepted. We recommend at least 300 dpi, with no more than 2048 pixels (and no less than 900 pixels). Only one image per submission, illustrating the total object, should be submitted. Additional images of any one submitted object will not be viewed.

The DHM Digital Gallery will retain and modify the submitted images of accepted artwork for the purpose of using those images in publications and gallery publicity. Submission of images to this exhibit constitutes permission for future use (and modification, when necessary) of those images by the DHM Digital Gallery for the above stated purposes.

CD submissions will not be returned. Each digital image should be identified in the following manner:

lastname.firstname.abbreviatedtitle.numberonentryform

Example: Smith.Jane.HeartfeltSong.6.jpg

Entry Rules:

All entered works must be one-of-a-kind original creations by the artist, produced in the year 2007 or later. Entry may be made via the mailing of digital images on a CD, or submission of digital images to the provided e-mail address. The entry form accompanying this prospectus may be submitted as an e-mail attachment, or printed and mailed.

All submissions must be accompanied by an entry fee of $25 (U.S. dollars) for the first two objects submitted for consideration, and $10 for each additional object. The entry fee must be paid by check or money order made payable to DHM Digital Gallery, or by credit card via the link at the end of the online entry form.

If submitting an entry by e-mail attachment, the entry form and all digital images must be attached to the same e-mail transmission.

Juror:

June Gilliam Worthington, with degrees focused on Business and Interior Design, has worked with architects, builders, interior designers, landscape architects, technical consultants and artists for more than 35 years to carry out her belief that through creative effort all things are possible.

For nearly 20 of those years, she also owned and operated the es Posible Galleries in Scottsdale, Arizona, specializing in one of a kind art, accessories and functional art furnishings. The Galleries featured the works of numerous artists and craftspeople in addition to creations by her design associates.

June Gilliam Worthington has taught at universities, jurored art shows, and mentored many in search of expressing their creativity. Her clients and customers are from across the United States and many countries abroad. In recognition of this outstanding career in the arts, June Gilliam Worthington is a recipient of the Hall of Fame Award from Oklahoma State University.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Wearable Art

Posted on June 27, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

All of you know that I have a food “thing”–which, in theory, explains why this art blog is food themed. However, my Sunday morning confession is…I have a shoe and hat “thing” too. I love them and all fashion. And, I am willing to suffer to wear them. Art is art whether you can wear it or whether you have to keep it in a climate-controlled museum-like environment. To that end, here’s s great call for Wearable Art:

CALL FOR WEARABLE ART SUBMISSIONS

The 2011 Wearable Art Awards invites artists and designers to submit application packages for original garments to be included in the event’s performances and exhibition.

$5,000 CDN in prize money will be awarded. Presented by the Port Moody Arts Centre Society, the Wearable Art Awards encourage artists of all mediums to submit evocative, imaginative and thought provoking creations for the human body.

Entry Information

To participate in the 2011 Wearable Art Awards, the artist’s application package must be submitted electronically at wearableartawards.com/apply no later than 5 pm on December 10, 2010. This application contains:

Artist contact information;
Information related to each entry to be entered into the competition (an artist can submit up to three) stating the entry’s title, materials/media used, garment size, and a 150 word statement; and
Three photos of each entry to be entered into the competition (front, back, and a “bonus” photo of the artist’s choosing).

There is a $30.00 entry fee for each entry submitted in an application. The artist must also deliver payment of the applicable entry fees either by cheque or credit card no later than December 10, 2010.

A jury panel will review the application packages received and select those entries that will be part of the Wearable Art performances and exhibition. Artists whose entries are chosen will be notified during the week of December 13, 2010 through email and will then be required to deliver the following to the Port Moody Arts Centre from January 4, 2011 through January 16, 2011:

Clearly labeled entries (the actual garments);
Completed and signed entry information form for each accepted entry;
CD of high res photos of entries;
Appraisal for each accepted entry (if entry is valued at more than $1,000 CDN);
Student Award info (if applicable);
RSVP card for complimentary performance ticket;
Shipping related requirements (if applicable):
- Pre-paid return shipping (i.e. completed courier forms); and
- Return shipping labels with name and address.

Packaging used to deliver this material should be permanently labeled to include the artist’s name and entry titles.

Artists with selected entries will be provided a checklist of items to provide.

Further details—including a must-read FAQ document and copies of the various forms—are located on their web site at www.wearableartawards.com/artists.

Guidelines

The Wearable Art Awards is not a fashion show, it is a multi-media performance where the human body becomes a living, breathing, moving canvas. They are looking for more than a “pretty dress.” They are asking you to go deep into your imagination to create a wearable piece of art that challenges what most consider to be wearable, or everyday fashion.

The Wearable Art Awards is committed to challenging artists of all mediums to push their imaginations to create evocative, imaginative and thought provoking sculpture for the human body.

Important Notes

All entries must be wearable (but do not need to be practical in any way—in fact, the wilder the better!). However, please keep in mind that the entries will be presented on a red carpet and need to withstand being taken on and off for multiple photo shoots and fittings.
All accepted entries will be included in the awards performance as well as a static five week long exhibition held at Port Moody Arts Centre.
Work must not have been previously exhibited in the Tri-Cities area.
Artists should familiarize themselves with the contract included in this pamphlet. Artists will be required to sign this contract for each of their selected entries.
Artists are responsible for all shipping costs—including return shipping and shipping insurance. Must-read shipping info and tips can be found at wearableartawards.com/artists.
More detailed information and related resources can be found on our website at wearableartawards.com/artists. Our team is available to answer questions and can be reached at info@wearableartawards.com.

Jurying

Entries will be judged based on the following criteria weighted in favour of “wow” factor and conceptual message:

1. All entries must be wearable (but not necessarily practical);
2. Creativity and originality (not streetwear);
3. Design and the use of multiple elements and techniques;
4. Quality of workmanship and construction;
5. Overall presentation focused on “wow” factor; and
6. Conceptual meaning and impact.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Transit Theme

Posted on June 25, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

When is the last time you
were at a bus station?

For many of you, it has been a long time. But I want to challenge you…to let this theme challenge you. I don’t often double post in one day, but here is a Call for Entries for the Grand Opening ceremonies for Knoxville Station Transit Center.

This call IS national, not local. No Entry fee, but you will have to ship your work both ways. Take a look. The theme is complicated, but I don’t think it necessarily requires a working knowledge of Knoxville, TN. Check it out:

Call for Entries:
Knoxville Station Transit Center Grand Opening Ceremonies Exhibition.

Presented by Knoxville Area Transit (KAT).

Postmark deadline:
Friday, July 2, 2010.

Guidelines: Submit only work completed within the five years that has not been previously displayed in Knoxville.

Entries must be original 2-D works. Media categories include, but are not limited to: painting (oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, digital, and mixed media); graphic arts (pencil, charcoal, pen and ink, conte, colored pencil, and printmaking; photography (color, black and white, digital); and fiber arts.

Entry Fee: No entry fee.

Theme: Artists are asked to consider the statement below when considering pieces for submission. This broad theme encompasses communities, city life and technologies, nature and environment, and of course, movement and transportation:

“Knoxville Station will be the central hub and gateway that connects all of Knoxville to the heart of downtown and beyond. The building’s creative design, artistry, technology and energy efficiency reflect Knoxville’s attitude of a forward-thinking, livable community. The environmental features reflect Knoxville’s respect for the beauty of the city and the region, and the desire to maintain that beauty for all of our residents. With the opening of this facility, Knoxville residents’ transportation options have just been broadened.”

INSPIRATION: Grafitti

Posted on June 18, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I have a lot on my mind…
change, specifically.

It is time for a little change.

On September 12th, ArtAndArtDeadlines.com will officially be one year old. And the site has survived a number of changes, I think it is time for a few more. Here are a few ideas of my own, but feel free to leave a comment with your own suggestions too:

1. New Sponsors. I am going to take a closer look at the way sponsorships work here at AAAD. I want to make sure my links are going where they will best support the art and artists that are talented and inspired.

2. A Makeover. I have been inspired by the recent Toni’s Treehouse makeover (AAAD is a sponsor) to make a few visual changes to the header and sidebars. These will be gradual, I promise.

3. Showcases. I was recently inspired by a Tweet of Catherine Roach‘s new business cards, of all things, to showcase a handful of things that some folks do really well. For example, most of the graphic designers and illustrators out there have phenomenally creative business cards. It is a networking opportunity for those featured and hopefully an inspiration for my readers.

So if you have more suggestions, let me know by leaving a comment. In the meantime, while I was contemplating what sort of art would newly reside behind the “Art” in the header, I thought of grafitti as an option. Then, like kismet, I tripped across the call for entries…inspired by grafitti. Here’s the call:

artspace announces an open call to all artists working in any medium to submit entries for Strassen Kunst, an international exhibition of work inspired by graffiti. The exhibition juror, Martin McFadden LRPS, Director and Curator, 12 12 Gallery, Richmond, Virginia, will award up to $1000 and a solo exhibition in artspace’s Helena Davis Gallery.

ELIGIBILITY International artists age 18+, working in 2D or 3D whose work consists of or is inspired by any aspect of graffiti, including painting, tagging, stenciling, etc., may submit 3 digital images of work to be considered for the exhibition. Additional images may be submitted at additional cost, for up to a total of 5 works. Work that has been previously exhibited at artspace is not eligible.

ENTRY PROCEDURE Entrants may submit ONLY digital images on CD or online. Only one digital image may be submitted for each work. Diptychs or triptychs must be on one image. Limit size of framed work to 60 inches, in either direction, and up to 65 lbs. Space limitations do not allow for installations of work. Digital files for viewing should be JPG format at 300 ppi, saved at 10-12 quality level, with the longest dimension being 1900 pixels. Label each file with the last name, first initial, and the number corresponding to the entry number (e.g. SmithJ1). Please identify images on the entry form with the title of the work.

CD, completed entry form, entry fee, and a self-addressed, stamped envelope, for the return of your CD and notification of acceptance, must be postmarked by Friday, July 9, 2010 and sent to artspace, Zero E. 4th Street, Richmond, Virginia, 23224. If no SASE is provided, notification will be sent via e-mail.

ONLINE SUBMISSIONS In the body of an e-mail include your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address. In this e-mail provide information for the images you wish to submit. Attach images of the work corresponding to the information provided and send to the exhibition e-mail at artspacestreetart@gmail.com by 11:59 PM Friday, July 9, 2010. Notice of acceptance will be e-mailed.

ENTRY FEE All submissions require payment of a non-refundable entry fee of $25 for three (3) entries, which is accepted via PayPal, personal check or money order mailed to the gallery by the postmark deadline. Additional entries may be submitted at $5.00 (US) each, for up to five (5) total entries.

ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION Notice of acceptance will be mailed or e-mailed Friday, July 23, 2010. Artist bios, resumes, and statements will be requested upon acceptance to show.

QUESTIONS Contact the gallery by telephone at 804.232.6464 or by e-mail at artspacestreetart@gmail.com with questions regarding the exhibition, prospectus, or online entry process.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Black and White

Posted on May 26, 2010June 3, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

Photography Week
on Art & Art Deadlines

Installment 3:
Black and White Photography

I live in an area with a long-standing artisan crafts tradition, and I overhear a lot of conversation about how digital and “new-fangled” media will be the end of art as we know it. As you might imagine, as a Xerographist, I couldn’t disagree more. Artist Jerry Portelli and I even went so far as to create a series of square pieces in celebration of the pixel. So, I find this call from the MPLS Photo Center fascinating. Take a look…

Here is a great call for the photographer in us all…
Black & White Photgraphy Call for Entries from the MPLS Photo Center

“Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.” – Robert Frank

What does “black and white” mean to contemporary photographers in the digital age? When Robert Frank made this observation, black-and-white film and silver prints were photography’s most commonly used materials. Nearly a half century later they are approaching “alternative media” status. Or are they? Are the implications and meanings of black and white still central to photography’s unique nature as a visual medium?

Submissions to this juried exhibition are limited only by your imagination and your photographic eye. Portraits, fashion, editorial, landscapes, documentary, conceptual – all of these genres, and others not named, are open for consideration.

Prints should take whatever form they need to in order to represent the continuum of tones, including gray tone, warm tone, cool tone, sepia, or other monochromes that comprise your photographs. Whether the initial recording was made on film or pixels is immaterial. However, in the final assessment, prints will be judged on their merits. Qualities of form, content, and relation to traditions of black-and-white printing and visualization will be sought in the pool of submissions.

About the Juror: As the founder, principal, and sole employee of re:photographica, George Slade has delved into matters related to the photographic arts for nearly thirty years. Although he started these inquiries as a photographer, his work over the past twenty years has been focused on curating, consulting, and commenting on others’ images. He was the artistic director of Minnesota Center for Photography (2003-2008) and the director of the McKnight Foundation Artist Fellowships for Photographers Program (1998-2008). His writings have been published widely; he received a 2007 award from the Creative Capital/Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers grant program. Web sites like Flickr and Facebook, and digital imaging in general, are drawing him back into the making side of photography. On Quodlibetica, his photographs accompany Kristin Makholm’s “Five Memos on a New Museum.”

Juror: George Slade, Principal at re:photographica
Entry Fee: $35 up to 5 images; $10 each additional (no limit on number that may be submitted)
Prizes: $300 for 1st; $200 for 2nd; $100 for 3rd
Entries Due: July 23, 2010
Notice of Acceptance: August 2, 2010
Exhibition Dates: September 10 – October 25, 2010
Reception: September 10, 2010

I preach the virtues of Art Publication all of the time, but I will climb up on the soapbox for just a minute again today.

Here is a great call for the photographer (or wannabe) in us all…

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Digital Art

Posted on March 25, 2010March 25, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I get a lot of email, queries and facebook comments as to the legitimacy of the calls I post. And, while I understand that one rotten apple can spoil the barrel. Rest assured, I make every effort to sniff out the bad apples. To my knowledge, I have never post a fraudulent or scam call. Let me know if I ever do.

On that note, I am always hesitant to post calls for online exhibitions because they tend to strike my readers as a way to lose their cash for little benefit in return. However I must say, I am a big fan of art organizations that lay it all out there. Take today’s call for example.

The Austin Museum of Digital Art says, “Since AMODA currently has no permanent exhibition space, there are some types of visual art that are more practical for us to present than others. In particular, we are seeking artwork to display in our Digital Showcase Series. The Digital Showcase is a one night only event featuring live electronic music and visual art in a social setting, such as a bar or nightclub.” I get it, and I appreciate the fact that the call isn’t hidden in some vague archaic language.

Austin is known for its innovative art vision, and I love the idea of bringing art to the public instead of coercing the public to come see art. Here’s the call:

VISUAL ART

The Austin Museum of Digital Art is open to receiving a wide range of visual art submissions, including anything that they would define as digital art. Please see their About Digital Art page for more information.

“However, since AMODA currently has no permanent exhibition space, there are some types of visual art that are more practical for us to present than others. In particular, we are seeking artwork to display in our Digital Showcase Series. The Digital Showcase is a one night only event featuring live electronic music and visual art in a social setting, such as a bar or nightclub.”

The forms of art that work well in these events are video art, computer animation, digital prints, performance pieces, live video, multimedia installations, and interactive pieces. To submit visual art for their Digital Showcases Series, please send an email to visual.art@amoda.org. (See the submission guidelines below for more info on what to include in your email.)

FLYER ILLUSTRATION

Each Digital Showcase features a different flyer illustrator. If you would like your work to be considered, please contact their Creative Team Director at design@amoda.org. (See the submission guidelines below for more info on what to include in your email.)

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Examples of your work:

when you send a submission, please include examples of your art, music, etc.
they strongly prefer a link to a website where we can view or listen to examples of your work
if this is not possible, you may also attach images, audio files, or short video files to your email

Short bio and work description:

it would be helpful to include a short bio and description of your work
this may include your history as an artist, where your work has previously been shown, where you have previously performed, etc.
it may also include details on the concept/subject of your work, and any special display considerations
they prefer a link to a website where they can read this information, but you may also include it in the body of your email, or as an attachment

Submission replies:

they make every effort to read and catalog all submissions, and consider them for future events
however, AMODA is an all-volunteer organization and cannot guarantee a reply to every submission
even if you do not receive a reply, please feel free to send additional submissions in the future, as you create new work (this is an exception to most gallery rules)

For more information, please visit the AMODA Call for Submissions.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Group Show
