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. You can enter by this California show by snail mail, or you can submit your entries online. You have plenty of time, but please don’t procrastinate… Get back to nature.

CALL for ENTRIES: International Juried Show

Posted on January 24, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

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. However, I have to admit that lately my watching too many cooking shows has me itching to use liquid nitrogen in some way or the other…I hear it is the best way to get the smoothest ice cream. This next Call is an opportunity for you to show off your technology skills.

FIGHTING FOODS

SUSHI ME!

When you think of North Carolina, what food comes to mind? I instantly think vinegar-based barbeque; however, this blog has been awash with pit-smoked references lately.

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

CALL for ENTRIES: About Face

Posted on January 11, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FISHY FACE

I have more than one friend that won’t eat food with a face… which should make her a vegetarian on moral grounds, right? Well, while out to lunch with one of them many years ago, my friend ordered fish. I promptly reminded her that she didn’t eat food with faces and that fish definitely have faces. She looked at me as seriously as possible and said, “I’ve looked into a fish’s eyes. They have no story to tell. There’s nothing going on up there. Bring on the tuna.” This next Call will require that your face tell a story.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Annmarie Sculpture Garden (an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institute) for About Face. The entry fee is only $20 for up to four pieces, and this is an excellent opportunity to put your best face forward. Take a look!

CALL for ENTRIES: About Face

About Face explores the artist as storyteller. How does an artist develop and arrange the elements of a good story—character, setting, plot, conflict, climax, and resolution—through the format of a portrait? Though we all have a story to tell, what is gained or lost when we are rendered through an artist’s point of view? Do the completed works represent the person we are, the person we strive to be, or the character the artist sees? How do traditional and new media types affect the impact of a portrait? To this end, the jury seeks portraits that tell a compelling story in a visually interesting way.

About Face will be installed in the spacious Mezzanine Gallery of Annmarie Sculpture Garden’s Arts Building. With over 3300 sq ft of exhibition space, moveable walls, high ceilings, tile floors, an Arakawa hanging system, Internet access, and electricity, the Mezzanine Gallery can accommodate all sizes and types of installations. A few outdoor works will also be considered for inclusion in About Face.

ELIGIBILITY: All media types are welcome. The exhibition is open to all artists age 18 and older working in the U.S. Video entries must be submitted on DVD, playable on QuickTime or RealPlayer, and no more than 30 minutes in length.
DVD or computer based works must be exhibited on equipment provided by artist. Internet access is available. Bases and pedestals must well-balanced and sturdy. Annmarie has a limited number of bases available, please inquire. All frames must be black or silver and simple in design. All works that will be hung on the wall must have brackets that work with the Arakawa hanging system. More information on this system will be provided upon acceptance.

DEADLINE: March 1, 2011 is the deadline for your application.

NOTIFICATION: Artists will be notified of final acceptance status via email by March 7, 2011.

ENTRY FEE: Artists must submit a $20 non-refundable entry fee for up to four entries. Entry fee must be paid by check, money order, or credit card. Each entry must be submitted with three images of the artwork, including one overall view of the artwork, one detail shot, and one installation shot.

ABOUT the ANNMARIE SCULPTURE GARDEN: An affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, Annmarie is a thirty-acre public sculpture garden and arts center located in scenic Solomons, Maryland, on the Chesapeake Bay. The sculpture garden features a walking path which meanders through the forest, past permanent and loaned sculpture, including more than thirty works on loan from the Smithsonian Institution and the National Gallery of Art. The garden also presents a variety of special events, gallery shows, and engaging public art programs. The new Studio School offers creative classes taught by a talented faculty. The award-winning Arts Building, which opened in May ‘08, is a 15,000 sq.ft. museum-grade exhibition space that includes two large galleries, a gift shop, café, and a sunny patio that offers lovely views of the outdoor sculpture.

CALL to ARTISTS: Housekeeping

Posted on January 10, 2011January 11, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

NUTS FOR COCONUT

I am not a good house keeper. We must own our faults, and this fact is one of my many faults. I don’t qualify for Hoarding or Clean House, but I also don’t dust unless my kid sneezes. There are always 4 loads of laundry that need to be done, and I am fairly certain there is a can of coconut milk in my cabinet that expired in 2006.

Life is too short.

However, I cannot afford to be a bad blog house keeper. All of you deserve better than dusty pages and rotten Calls. There are too many of you whose trust I have earned over the past year and a half to let things fall through the cracks.

So, I am counting on you to resist the urge to move on to checking other email or goofing off on facebook and help me out folks. We really need to work on cleaning up a few things that are left lingering about even after the New Year:

CLEANING LIST:

REJECTION LETTERS: I had hoped that the Rejection page would be in full swing by January, but I still don’t have enough letters to start properly. Please email your rejections letters and/or emails to me at submitart@artandartdeadlines.com .

I prefer scans of printed letters, but those are rare. Remember, sending a rejection letter qualifies you for free entry into the $2 Art Contest.

GALLERIES: A note to all of the gallery directors that read this blog… If your gallery is mentioned in one of the rejection letters I receive, you will get a feature page on your gallery on this site.

I always want to be fair, and this is my way of balancing the discouraging with the hopeful. I will take the gallery information from the gallery’s website as well as request input fromt he director. I hope this encourages you to encourage your artists to send in their letters. It is your opportunity to let artists know what you want.

FEATURED ARTISTS: I have offered the Featured Artists from the beginning of this site in 2009 through December of 2010 an opportunity to be chosen Featured Artist of the Year. They can receive votes in the form of comments through January 15, 2011.

Vote for your Favorite Artist by leaving a meaningful comment today.

Click Here to see all the Featured Artists of 2009/2010. Your comment cannot contain profanity or links to a website. They must say something… not just a smiley face or a thumbs up. Use your words.

SOCIAL NETWORKS: Many of you help promote this site on Facebook and Twitter, and I truly appreciate the support. I do want to encourage you to consider promoting your own work and supporting www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com on Google Buzz, Digg, Yahoo Buzz, reddit and more. The more people that read this blog, the more motivated I am.

Now the house has been swept.
The dishes have been washed.
The blog is now suitable for company.

As always, I love to hear from you…so, leave a comment or send an email with your ideas, your art, your success and your challenges.
