CALL FOR ENTRIES: At Her Age

Posted on April 22, 2010April 22, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I am rapidly approaching 40, and I don’t like it.

I have alot to say about aging, but it hasn’t come out in my artwork yet. I am afraid to open that proverbial can of worms for fear of spiralling into my own narcissitic world of self-indulgent “Oh Woe is Me” work that will permanently end my ability to produce work of any sort of value aside from auto-biographical. Yep, issues. Moving on…

I have found an opportunity to say something about my aging in a project-oriented way that might help restrain my tendancy for getting carried away, and I thought you might like it too.

“At Her Age”
an exhibition on Women, Sex and Age
curated by Martha Wilson, artist and founder of Franklin Furnace

A.I.R. Gallery is pleased to announce CURRENTS, a timely and innovative exhibition series. Each year the CURRENTS exhibit will address an issue that warrants expanded critical attention in the art world.

A.I.R. will invite established and non-traditional curators (artists, activists, writers, poets) to select the works to be exhibited with the theme designed as a collaboration between the curator and the gallery.

This new opportunity is open to all self-identified women artists worldwide and will be curated through an open call and through invitations by the curator.

For the inaugural CURRENTS exhibit, Martha Wilson will curate, “At Her Age,” an exhibit on Women, Age and Sex.

“At Her Age” will examine how women at any period in their life, old or young, view their changing bodies.

Questions to be addressed could be:

“How does age affect experiencing one’s sexual/sensual life?”

“How age impacts one’s evolving personal and social relationships?”

While older women may be perceived by others as inconsequential or asexual, they personally experience increasing knowledge of themselves.

Younger women may experience curiosity/fear/pleasure about the changes in their own bodies due to age.

A.I.R. Gallery is looking for artwork, to be selected by Martha Wilson, that addresses age and sex as part of an evolutionary process.

About the Curator:

Martha Wilson is an artist and Founding Director of Franklin Furnace Archive, Inc. Since its inception in 1976, Franklin Furnace has presented and preserved temporal art: artists’ books and other multiples produced internationally after 1960; temporary installations; and performance art. Ms. Wilson lectures widely on the book as an art form, on performance art, and on “live art on the Internet.”

Trained in English Literature, Ms. Wilson was teaching at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design when she became fascinated by artworks created at the intersection of text and image.

In New York, she founded DISBAND, the all-girl punk band of artists who couldn’t play any instruments. Since DISBAND disbanded in 1982, she has performed in the guises of Alexander Haig, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, and Tipper Gore. In the spring of 2008, she had her first solo exhibition in New York at Mitchell Algus Gallery, “Martha Wilson: Photo/Text Works, 1971-1974.”

CALL FOR ENTRIES: US Mint

Posted on April 13, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

The tag line of this site is
“Never Let Them See You Starve.”

I like to emphasize shows with low fees that jury based on talent, not resume. But, cash prizes and honorariums never hurt because it takes money to eat.

Here’s a great way to never let them see you starve…

Make a mint…from the U.S. Mint.

That’s right, folks, you too can design a coin for the United States of America. Here’s the Call:

Call for Artists

The United States Mint invites artists from across the country to apply to the Artistic Infusion Program.

Artistic Infusion Program is a great way to take part in American history and create designs which will be circulated nationwide. Artists must be United States citizens but may work from any location they choose.

The United States Mint encourages applications from artists representing diverse backgrounds and a variety of interests reflecting those of the American people.

This year, the United States Mint is seeking up to 6 Associate Designers to join the current designers under contract with the program.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis with 3 cutoff dates throughout the year for evaluation and review. Applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible. The last application deadline is July 6, 2010. If you wish to apply for this program, please review the eligibility requirements below. Then click Apply Now.

To qualify in the associate designer category, applicants must be an established professional visual artist and meet the following criteria:

U.S. citizenship
Have specialized training in his or her art form
Have derived a portion of his or her individual income from his or her art for a minimum of 5 years by the time of application

Applicants must also be able to accept the terms and conditions for participation in the AIP as described in the application. Click here to apply now.

Note: At this time, the AIP is limited to coin and medal design (i.e., drawings) and does not encompass the execution (sculpting and engraving) of designs. United States Mint sculptor-engravers model designs created by AIP artists and also submit their own designs for consideration for coin and medal programs.

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)

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Without A Map

Posted on March 24, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

The theme of the week seems to be “Eat Out” or at least “Show Out(side)” of your neighborhood. Here is a great show in the North Suburbs of Chicago that is juried from an International pool of artists.

There is a $35 entry fee; however, the Northbrook Public Library (sponsor of the show) does not take a commission on sales. Woo hoo!

I frequently expound the virtues of showing in more academic and/or public venues like universities and libraries. These are opportunities for you to show in a respected space and often find a different audience. Give it a try. Here’s the call:

The Northbrook Public Library is seeking entries for its 8th annual international juried art show, “Without a Map,” to be held October 1 through November 15, 2010. A gala opening reception will be held October 1.

Artists 18 years and older, working in all 2-D and 3-D art media, are invited to submit digital entries. The exhibition is limited to original artwork created within two years of the entry date.

Artists should consider the theme, “Without a Map,” as embodying free-spiritedness, exploration, independence and an inherent desire to attain a goal.

The exhibit is open to the general public and artwork must be viewable for all ages.

Prizes include a $2,000 purchase prize as well as numerous other prizes.

Entry fee is $35 for up to three submissions.

Deadline for submission is May 31, 2010.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Diversity Portraits

Posted on March 21, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

As artists, we walk often walk the line between creating a commercial niche for ourselves (so that we can eat) and doing the work the work we love (so we can sleep).

Portraiture is often a tough sit-down menu to sell to the average fast food consumer, but there are artists that do it so well…even the pickiest amongst us can’t resist. Here is an opportunity for the artist that just can’t resist a beautifully rendered portrait.

Still Point Art Gallery invites submissions for its upcoming online exhibition: American Portraits: Diversity in Our Land.

Great achievements are not born from a single vision but from the combination of many distinctive viewpoints. Diversity challenges assumptions, opens minds, and unlocks our potential to solve any problems we may face. –Unknown

This exhibition will celebrate diversity in America through the genre of portraiture. Artists are encouraged to think about diversity in America in its broadest sense – ethnicity, race, age, class, religion, and gender…also occupation, national or regional origin, hobbies and interests, regional customs and lifestyles, and more…much more.

To add to the celebratory nature of this exhibition, the Gallery is looking into a variety of opportunities that will put this show before the public. In other words, the Gallery is looking into ways to turn this show into public art. To begin with, the Gallery will assist artists whose work is accepted for the exhibition in getting their work displayed in their local libraries, city or town office buildings, or community centers as part of what could be a national public art exhibition. Other opportunities will be posted as they become finalized. We welcome ideas for making this exhibition a public art exhibition.

Dates and Deadlines

February 21, 2010 – Submissions Open

April 19, 2010 – Submissions Close (Deadline)

May 3, 2010 – Notification of Selection

May 5 through August 10, 2010 – Exhibition (Online)

After closing as a featured exhibition on August 10, 2010, American Portraits will remain online through August 10, 2011.

Eligibility

Open to artists 18 years of age or older from around the world who submit portraiture in any medium except video and wearable art. Submissions must be the creation of the artist. Reproductions of original artwork are not accepted.

Images

Artists may choose one of three ways to submit images: (1) artists may upload images using their online form; (2) artists may send images by email [very quick and easy and you can still pay online]; or (3) artists may send images on a CD. Slides and prints will not be accepted.

Whatever way you choose, images should be saved in jpg format and resized to 72 dpi, less than 1.5 MB, with the maximum dimension of the image being no more (and not much less) than 1000 pixels. Failing to resize your image will result in problems with uploading. The file name of your image should follow this convention – last name, title of work (perhaps abbreviated), and number (matching entry form number) [for example, SMITH_SUNNYDAY_3.jpg].

Do not include stray characters such as # or * in your file name. Doing so will prevent your file from uploading properly. If you choose to email images, please send them to director@stillpointartgallery.com.

If you choose to send your images on a CD, please mail to Still Point Art Gallery, 193 Hillside Road, Brunswick, Maine 04011. CDs will not be returned. Once the submission deadline has passed, no image substitutions may be made.

Please Note: If you use Safari on a Mac platform, their online form will NOT work to upload your images. If you use a Mac, please use Firefox to upload your images.

Entry Application and Fee

Payment may be made by requesting a PayPal invoice or by check or money order. If you submit images on CD, please include the entry form. Again, payment may be made by requesting a PayPal invoice or by check or money order. Write checks payable to Still Point Art Gallery and mail to 193 Hillside Road, Brunswick ME 04011. Once the submission deadline has passed, no changes in prices as stated on the entry form will be made.

ART DEADLINES: January 2010

Posted on January 13, 2010January 14, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

It has taken me quite a while to sift through the January 2010 deadlines. Apparently the word got out that artists were bored in the winter because there are shows everywhere.

ART DEADLINE: January 2009 Preview

Posted on December 5, 2009 by R.L. Gibson

Those of you who know me as either an artist or a curator/gallery director know how much I love a theme. I’ve done themes around everything from Underwear and Mad Science to the Seven Holy Virtues and Tire Tread. Well, I’ve found a theme to love: Geometric Abstraction.

Here’s a show that has it all: a great theme–geometry, a reasonable entry fee ($25), online entry, PayPal payment, an online exhibit, sales with a miniscule commission rate (20%), and the opportunity for a show in 2011. You can’t ask for more. It is like a zero calorie cheesecake…all you could ever want. As a result, I am doing something I rarely do. Here is the prospectus is the show prospectus in its entirety:

Still Point Art Gallery invites submissions from emerging and established artists for its upcoming exhibition: Geometric Abstraction.

“Geometry – squares, triangles, circles, ellipses, cones, cubes, and polygons … length, area, and volume. Geometry frames our world and shapes our world. It brings order, organization, balance, symmetry, and asymmetry to our surroundings. Geometry is used by carpenters and astronomers as well as theoretical mathematicians. The concept of geometry is so simple and appealing that even young children seem to intuitively draw squares and circles and rectangles. Yet the concept of geometry is so complex that mathematicians and physicists may spend years studying applications and theories of one tiny aspect of geometry.

“Then there is the artist. When an artist’s unique view .. of the world, of the self … incorporates geometric shapes or focuses on natural or man-made geometric shapes, the result may be an amazing display of shape and color. Geometric abstraction can be daring, imposing, powerful, stark, complex, bold, or rhythmic.”

Dates and Deadlines

November 15, 2009 – Submissions Open

January 25, 2010 – Submissions Close (Deadline)

February 8, 2010 – Notification of Selection

February 10 -April 6, 2010 – Exhibition

After closing as the featured exhibition on April 6, 2010, Geometric Abstraction will remain online through April 6, 2011.

Open to artists 18 years of age or older living in the United States who submit original artwork in any medium except video and wearable art.

Artists may choose one of three ways to submit images: (1) you may upload images using their online form; (2) you may send images by email; or (3) you may send images on a CD. Slides and prints will not be accepted. Whatever way you choose, images should be saved in jpg format and resized to 72 dpi, less than 1.5 MB, with the maximum dimension of the image being no more (and preferably not much less) than 1000 pixels. Failing to resize your image will result in problems with uploading. The file name of your image should follow this convention – last name, title of work (perhaps abbreviated), and number (matching entry form number) [for example, SMITH_SUNNYDAY_3.jpg]. Do not include stray characters such as # or * in your file name. Doing so will prevent your file from uploading properly. If you choose to email images, please send them to director@stillpointartgallery.com. If you choose to send your images on a CD, please mail to Still Point Art Gallery, 193 Hillside Road, Brunswick, Maine 04011. CDs will not be returned. Once the submission deadline has passed, no image substitutions may be made.

Please Note: If you use Safari on a Mac platform, their online form will NOT work to upload your images. If you use a Mac, please either use Firefox to upload your images or email your images.

Entry Application and Fee

Artists are asked to complete an entry form and submit a non-refundable fee of $25 for up to 3 images. Additional images may be submitted for a fee of $5 each, up to a maximum of 8 images at $50. ($25 for 3 images plus $25 for an additional 5 images to reach the maximum of 8 images at $50) If you complete the entry form and submit your images online, payment may be made online by PayPal or credit card immediately following submission of images. If you submit images by email, you should include the following information about each image in the message: title, medium, dimensions, framed/unframed, and price. Please also include your name, address, and home or cell number. Payment may be made by requesting a PayPal invoice or by check or money order. If you submit images on CD, please include the entry form. Again, payment may be made by requesting a PayPal invoice or by check or money order. Write checks payable to Still Point Art Gallery and mail to 193 Hillside Road, Brunswick ME 04011. Once the submission deadline has passed, no changes in prices as stated on the entry form will be made.

Selection and Awards

Final selections for the exhibition will be made by the Gallery Director, Christine Brooks Cote. Three Artists of Distinction will be chosen who will be invited to show their art as Gallery Artists in 2011.

Sales

Generally, all work submitted must be for sale. (If the artist does not wish to sell certain pieces submitted, the Gallery Director should be notified by email.) By signing the entry form, the artist grants the Gallery the right to sell the work(s) of art. The Gallery will devote its best efforts to the sale of all art. A sales commission of 20% will be retained by Still Point Art Gallery on all sales. Work will be sold for the price indicated on the entry form. Work must remain available for sale and must remain online in the Gallery for the entire duration of the exhibition; no early withdrawals will be permitted.

By submitting work to be considered for the exhibition, artists grant Still Point Art Gallery the right to use their image(s) for the purpose of marketing.

Under the watchful eye of a technology driven society, online social networking and cyber-interaction communities, a group of young artists have been evolving and redefining one of the oldest mediums of art. The National Wet Paint Artist Exhibition will be a contemporary art painting exhibition outlook and an overview of promising artists across the United States currently working in the medium of painting. Wet Paint refers to the idea that this is a fresh group of artists (MFA candidates/graduates) working in painting media. Wet Paint will pose the following questions: How is the next generation of artists redefining one of the oldest art mediums? How are new technologies impacting their painting materials, methods, techniques, processes and ideas? How are graduate programs in America reshaping painting? What does painting mean to a new generation? Wet Paint will highlight and give a forum to a new generation of artists working from traditional to experimental painting mediums. NO ENTRY FEE.
