NETWORKING: State Art Organizations – Montana to Wyoming

Posted on November 5, 2009June 21, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

One of the most valuable assets to a cook is the money to buy groceries, but money won’t help if you don’t have anywhere to cook. State art agencies often provide both funding and the opportunities to use it. I believe that state art agencies are under used by artists, and as a result, are often among the first to lose their funding during budget cuts.

Start Cooking!

In an effort to take away your excuses, here are all 50 of the state art agencies. This is the second half– Montana to Wyoming. Read about the State Art Organizations: Alabama to Missouri. Contact them today. Pour over their sites. Download grant applications. Don’t complain about the food until you’ve tried it.

Be the feather in the cap of your state’s art foundation, council or agency.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Soap Factory – November 2009

Posted on October 23, 2009October 24, 2009 by R.L. Gibson

I love to support people and spaces whose mission it is to support the best in the arts. I have a devoted reverence for human potential, and I am happy to have found a kindred spirit in The Soap Factory. It is time for their Open Call for Submissions.

This is not a fee-based, juried show. The Soap Factory supports artists and their work not only by providing exhibition and studio space on an unprecedented scale, but also by providing skilled staff to aid artists in realizing new work, by paid stipends to both artists & curators, and by securing press articles & critiques in a unique gallery space with a national profile. The Soap Factory helps position artists to continue beyond their Soap Factory exhibitions.

I usually post Calls in a brief format with links; however, I don’t want to take the chance that you won’t click the link. So, here is the complete call:

Call for Submissions to The Soap Factory:

The Soap Factory exhibition season runs from January – October, with three main blocks of exhibition programming. Exhibitions are often comprised of a large group show in the main galleries, three individual artist project rooms and two video rooms. For the 2010/2011 season, they are particularly interested in proposals for the winter months, which take into account the fact that The Soap Factory is unheated. Projects that propose to use the entire 12,000 sq feet of gallery space are always encouraged.

Their programming is unique in that they select the majority of the artists for exhibit from their pool of submissions. They commonly receive over 350 artist submissions per season.

Submission Guidelines for 2010 season:

Postmark deadline is November 30, 2009.
They do NOT accept e-mailed submissions.
Submissions are reviewed for the 2010 season, which runs from 1st May- 31st October.
Artists selected for the 2010/2011 season will be notified in late March 2010.
They may keep your submission on file for up to 8 months.
Do not call or email to check on your submission.
The Soap Factory does not return work. Please send only materials that you do not need returned.

What to send:

A cover page indicating the following information:
- Name
- Email
- Phone
- Address
- Medium of submission
Up to ten color images of your work. Images must be Mac compatible (jPeg, tif, pdf) not less than 1500×2100 pixels.
Resume, artist statement and project description/proposal, if applicable.
They prefer that you submit video on DVD. DVD must be in Zone 1 format (readable in USA).
Work samples WILL NOT BE RETURNED. Please send only materials you do not need returned.

The Soap Factory provides installation assistance as well as a stipend to artists and curators selected for their programs. In addition, they provide publicity, exhibition invitations, mailings, opening reception and artist talks. They do not provide insurance coverage for work exhibited at The Soap Factory. All work is shown at the artist’s own risk.

No commission is taken from artwork sold.

Please mail submissions to:

Katherine Rochester, Program Manager

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: emerge art zine

Posted on October 21, 2009October 21, 2009 by R.L. Gibson

Are you inspired every time someone’s 5-foot cake doesn’t go splat on one of those cake bake-offs? They make it look like anyone can do it. I find that knowing someone else has achieved results helps me distinguish between the opportunities I should seize and the ones that simply are not worth my time. I recommend giving emerge midwest art zine a try. I was honored to be juried into the April 2009 issue.

emerge is a specialty art zine, created by Sarah Earle, that is open to artists nationwide and is distributed quarterly to over 100 Midwest galleries (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin). Each issue features nine artists whose work is hand selected by a rotation of guest jurors.

The next issue should be January 2010. The deadline has not been released as of this post, but you don’t have to wait until the last minute. No really–you don’t. Send your submissions today.

All professional artists, ages 18 or older, working in all media are encouraged to apply. Created by artist and graphic designer Sarah Earle, emerge is a powerful exposure tool for any serious studio artist in the country. The cost to submit up to 10 images for consideration is only $15. you can complete the entire process online in 15 to 20 minutes, or you can send your payment and submission via snail mail. If you are juried in to the zine, here’s what you can expect:

Art Layout

Pictured right is an example of the spread provided to each of the six accepted artists. The left page is dedicated to the artists work, featuring several full-color images of their current pieces chosen from your submissions. The right page has the artist’s contact information, educational background (if applicable), show history, a Q&A section and more.

Distribution

emerge is an art zine that is open to artists nationwide and is distributed quarterly to over 100 Midwest galleries (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin). When I asked emerge Editor/Designer Sarah Earle for the distribution list, she happily emailed them–an invaluable asset for marketing my work in the midwest.

Pictured left is Pieces of Me: Atlas, one of featured works in the April 2009 edition.

Take a chance–$15 and a chance you’ll be rejected is about as gentle as the art world gets.

And remember, successful artists don’t cook or dine alone…

so invite emerge into the kitchen with you.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Art-O-Mat

Posted on October 18, 2009 by R.L. Gibson

I originally became an art gallery owner because I couldn’t afford the art I loved, and I wanted to be responsible for making at least some of the art I loved affordable. But I assure you that your friendly blogger didn’t invent the idea of affordable art. Neither did Art-O-Mat, but I love their take.

Now there is no excuse not to be a collector. Submit your work today! Here is some great information from Art-O-Mat.

Many thanks to Toni Turbeville for reminding me of this great resource.

What is an Art-o-mat?
Art-o-mat machines are retired cigarette vending machines that have been converted to vend art. There are 82 active machines in various locations throughout the country. Find an art-o-mat near you.

What do you get from an Art-o-mat?
The experience of pulling the knob alone is quite a thrill, but you also walk away with an original work of art. What an easy way to become an art collector. See Art-O-Mat samples here. Check out the Art-O-Mat work of Kathy Fisher (pictured right).

Want to be an Artomat artist?
There are around 400 contributing artists from 10 different countries currently involved in the Art*o*mat project. They are always searching for fresh work. Check out the submission process. Just remember, all they can do is say no. Do your research, and then follow the guidelines. Be brave and submit your inspired art so that someone else can afford to be a collector…and eat!
