CALL for ENTRIES: Voyages

Posted on September 26, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

wheat or
WHEAT-OUT YOU

I have been on a personal voyage for the past 9 months, and there is no end in sight. My father died in December, betrayed by his body and love of food that didn’t love him back. My grandmother struggles with Alzheimer’s and the loss of both her memory and her appetite. I have been battling my health and grappling with the loss of my decades-long love affair with wheat. I can’t help but believe that it is all a voyage taking me to some unknown path that will be my future. The voyage has already spurred new art. Let the theme of this next Call take you on your own personal voyage. Don’t miss the opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries for Voyages from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry fee is very reasonable, and the theme is a classic regardless of distance or perspective. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Voyages

For many, the spirit of adventure plays an enormous role in their passion for photography. Whether traveling within your native land or abroad, leaving home with a camera puts a more critical set of eyes on our surroundings. Photographs of exotic landscapes and cultures, and the people and places encountered along the way broaden our understanding of the world we live in. For Voyages, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images of your explorations away from home.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography: Alternative processes, digital, traditional, and toned images are all eligible.

DEADLINE:
October 24, 2013

JUROR: Christy Karpinski is the founder and editor of F-Stop Magazine, an online photography magazine that promotes contemporary photography from established and emerging photographers from around the world with the intent to inspire and support a community of artists. Christy has an MFA in photography as well as background in Women’s Studies and Sociology. She teaches photography at Columbia College Chicago.

AWARDS: All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice will also be announced and both winners will receive a free copy of the catalogue.

SALES: Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works. But, they DO still have incentive to sell your work. The Kiernan Gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.

CALL for ENTRIES: Big Bad Wax

Posted on September 24, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

right red
rounds

I’ve been on a cheese kick lately. But, I find myself specifically craving red-waxed cheddar. I know the artificially-colored wax coating isn’t supposed to influence flavor, but I love the texture of the cheddar found just under the surface of the wax. AND, I like dipped cheeses better than brushed cheeses. Something about those bright red rounds reminds me of the comfort of childhood before cholesterol and added pounds influenced my food choices. This next Call wants your wax inspirations. Check it out…

CALL for ENTRIES: Artful Treasures

Posted on September 5, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

make anything from
LEMONS

There are a few culinary treasures in my home. Goat cheese makes the world go round. Almost any dish can be made better with balsamic vinegar. Red bell pepper round out the taste of any dish. Lemons are essential to virtually all dishes. They are all small treasures that are taken for granted, until you’re out of one of them. This next Call wants your treasures to round out their holiday season. Love this tradition…

CALL for ENTRIES: Horror

Posted on September 4, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

scary
FOODS

Like everyone, I have kitchen horror stories. I still relive slicing my finger open while opening a package of fish. I rushed to the hospital hoping to have the “clean cut” glued instead of stitched so that it wouldn’t interfere with my looming art deadline, only to be left in the waiting room so long they couldn’t glue it. Plus, there’s the horror of having burned everything imaginable. BTW, the most expensive foods burn easiest. You’ve got horror stories of you own, whether real or imagined, and this next Call wants to hear AND see them. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Bruce Humphries for Art School Horror Stories (art publication). You’ve either got stories of your own or have heard them from your peers. So, here’s your chance to put them out there in either written word or image. This should be fun…

CALL for ENTRIES: Make Believe

Posted on August 29, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

boneless
CHICKEN
backbone

Luckily, no one has bothered to ever install hidden cameras in my kitchen. The images of my pretending to be Julia Child wouldn’t be great for my credibility. But, it’s what I do when attempting something in the kitchen for which I am untrained or unqualified–like de-boning a whole chicken. I make believe. It makes any resulting failure sting less. This next Call wants to know how YOU make believe…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Make Believe. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Make Believe

Role-play, tell tall-tales, put on your brightest costume and let your imagination take the lead.

Images that captivate, tell a fantastical story. The hero vs. the monster, parallel universes co-mingling, colorful characters that drag us down a rabbit hole! Fantasy, horror, sci-fi, fairy-tale, steam-punk and renaissance inspired photographs.

Just as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein emerged from a dream, her motley creation is considered to be one of the earliest examples of science fiction and a great novel for the ages, Darkroom asks you to produce and capture your dreams. “The whole series of my life appeared to me as a dream; I sometimes doubted if indeed it were all true, for it never presented itself to my mind with the force of reality.”― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Create your legend, weave your web and spin your yarns. Contact your inner child and dive head-first into a treasure trove of costumes. This exhibit will be on display over Halloween, so make it spooky.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: September 18, 2013

NOTIFICATION: September 25, 2013

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 images for $24 US for on-line and $29 for email submission

JUROR: Growing up in a small Louisiana town, Andy Bloxham turned to his imagination for activity. This playful, creative approach to life extended to Andy’s adulthood, where it took form in photography, video, and writing. Receiving an MFA in photography from Louisiana Tech University, his images have appeared throughout the world in numerous group and solo exhibitions, publications, and online media.

Bloxham’s photography centers around fictional situations and events, told through the slight hint of a smirking camera. His techniques apply the command of tools ranging from pen, paper, and storyboards, to strobe lighting and digital post-processing. He is an assistant professor of photography at West Virginia Wesleyan College, and a faculty member at the Maine Media Workshops.

AWARDS: All selected entries are exhibited in the Darkroom Gallery and included in a full color exhibit catalog. Juror’s Choice receives a 30×48″ vinyl exhibit banner featuring their image. People’s Choice gains free entry into a future exhibit.

SALES: Darkroom offers free matting and framing of accepted entries for the duration of each of their exhibitions, subject to standard sizes. Photographers set their own prices if they wish to sell their work and retain all rights to their photographs. For commission details, go to the bottom of the Submission Rules page!

CALL for ENTRIES: Silver Eye 14

SILVER
and gold

I love the crispy, silvery skin of pan-sauteed salmon filets. I’ve always thought of it as one of the healthy excuses for the consumption of my favorite fatty fishes. Turns out the silvery skin contains concentrated amounts of whatever contaminates existed in the water from which they were caught. Ugh. Apparently all that glitters is not gold–or silver. This next Call is definitely an exception to the all-that-glitters rule. Don’t miss it…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Silver Eye Center for Photography (Pittsburgh, PA) for the Fellowship 14 International Photography Competition. The entry fee is a little lower than last year, and the opportunity is still spectacular. Take a look…

LEMON DROPS

I’ve always been lucky in the kitchen. Most of my experiments work. I often get it right the first time I try. Maybe that is how my love affair with food began–as something successful. Who isn’t attracted to being good at something? I often struggle in the studio, but the struggle produces better work. So am I lucky not to be lucky in the studio? Semantics, I suspect. Maybe this next Call will be lucky for you…

COUCH

We rarely eat in my dining room. We most often eat our cordon bleu and asparagus in front of the dumb tube. In fact, we do almost everything in the livingroom: music, homework, art, reading, and all serious family planning and conversation. It is a very personal parlor of sorts. This next gallery is sure to be a space to inspire conversation just like it namesake. Take a look…

JUROR: As a youth in the 1980s, Jonathan LeVine recognized the appeal of countercultural aesthetics including punk flyers, comics, graffiti and tattoos. Beginning in 1994, LeVine became an independent curator, organizing exhibitions at punk and alternative rock venues in the NY/NJ area such as: CBGB, Webster Hall, Max Fish, and Maxwell’s. By promoting these visual art forms through group shows in venues that were home to their musical counterparts, LeVine gave a home to this nascent art movement, early on.

In February 2001, LeVine opened his own gallery Tin Man Alley in New Hope, Pennsylvania. The gallery relocated to Philadelphia in late 2002. In January 2005, LeVine renamed and moved his gallery to the epicenter of the contemporary art world, Manhattan’s Chelsea district.

MOUSSE
muse

My husband sings in the kitchen. It isn’t one specific tune; it is usually whatever he last heard. I don’t know how he doesn’t find it distracting. I need concentration and quiet to make sure my mousse doesn’t burn. I just do. I don’t often listen to music while I produce art either. Puzzling. This next Call is musically inspired; maybe I should experiment. Take a look…

clean your
SLATE

While on vacation, I ate slate grilled baby back ribs for the first time. Yum. You have to get past the idea that the slate is porous and might contain other food cooties from previous usage because that is part of what makes cooking with slate fantastic.
