PICK ME

Not every weed is to be plucked and discarded. Hopefully no one is spraying chemicals on their garden--either to fertilize OR remove pests; however, I DO want to encourage you to remember that not every weed needs to be removed either. Chickweed is a perfect example. If you’re lucky enough to have it sprout in your garden, don’t weed it…eat it. And you don’t have plant a garden in an open field to find this gem; it even grows in the cracks of sidewalks. No really. This next Call DOES, however, make use of an open field. Investigate…

Check out this Open Call from Field Projects for Show #21. $25 entry, great curator & open to ALL media. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Spring Showcase

Posted on April 6, 2014April 6, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

’tis the
SEASON

It is ramp season in the Smoky Mountains. I am thrilled to have a locally-grown, fresh vegetable of any sort after the winter of snow & ice we just endured–even if it gives us all dragon breath. If you aren’t familiar, ramps are spring onions with a strong garlic smell and onion flavor. They are called “spring leeks” elsewhere. We’re using them in salads, soups, casseroles and atop nearly every dish consumed in my house right now. You name it, we’re finding a way to eat them. Another sign of Spring is this next Call. Maybe this one is for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from Oil Painters of America (OPA) for their Spring Online Showcase. $14 entry & huge awards. You DO have to be a member ($60), but great benefits exist for oil painters. Take a look…

JUROR: Tim Deibler has had a life-long passion for art. After studying with many of the local artists during high school, he chose to go to the Art Institute of Colorado. After graduating, he worked in the commercial art & video production fields until going full time as a fine artist in 1992. He has won 5 Awards of Excellence at the OPA’s National Juried Show.

Born and raised in Oklahoma, Deibler’s passion for landscapes, mountains in particular began after seeing the 1956 movie The Mountain as a young boy.

“Every time I look out the window or walk outside I’m in the mountains, making it much easier for me to observe the constant moods and nuances of nature. My goal is to portray what I’m experiencing in nature, I want the viewer of my work to say ‘I’d like to be there’.”--Tim Deibler

AWARDS: $3,000 for 1st place, $1,500 for 2nd place & $500 for 3rd place along with 10 honorable mentions

CALL for ENTRIES: Impromptu

Posted on April 5, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

MENU,
s’il vous plait

I have weekly menus for breakfasts, lunches & dinners. I tried being spontaneous by buying pieces & parts in the right amounts & putting it together on the fly. But, I only made it one summer. I have learned if I don’t make a plan & do the prep each morning, we end up eating lazy. That means pizza or wings or burgers, and that’s not always the best choice–even homemade. For now, I’ll keep my impromptu moments out of my kitchen and leave them to my art. How about you?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Impromptu. Low entry ($24) & free matting & framing. Love this theme…

*Editor’s Note: Please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. I have a soft spot for this gallery, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Impromptu

To capture in an instant, an unexpected scene, the unscripted interaction, serendipitous magic in a single shot.

The medium of photography skillfully lends itself to chance. In certain instances the medium is defined by how rapidly a single shot can be fired and, in turn, art created.

Just as an improv actor steps onto the stage without any thoughts or goals is his/her head we are looking for the images you took off the cuff that the very telling, thoughtful and insightful ones. Photographs that succeed because they aren’t staged. Work that encapsulates a plot line, a “scene of crime” or unique character-driven exchange.

These haphazard interpretations of reality can be monumentally powerful, humorous, heart-rending or sublime. A moment, frozen forever through the lens of our cameras.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: May 14, 2014

NOTIFICATION: May 20, 2014

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 for $24 US for on-line & $29 by email

QUANTITIES

I’ve learned not to limit myself with numbers. One protein, 1 starch, 1 veggie is simply an outline, not a rule. Ask Baskin Robbins®–they once thought 31 flavors was the end all be all. Heinz® used to boast 57 varieties; they now have over 5,700. This next Call is number 58, and I’m confident it won’t be the last. Take a look…

Every photograph tells a story. When part of a body of work, the photograph takes on a new meaning, becoming part of a larger and more complete narrative.

The Kiernan Gallery is pleased to announce its third annual portfolio showcase.

I’ve always wanted a dutch door in my kitchen opening onto an herb garden (both of which would magically function without my assistance BTW). My earliest memories of dutch doors come from watching Mr. Ed, but it has been an enduring part of my kitchen wish list. My husband & I have been trying to get around to building for years now…so maybe. This next Call has opted for and Open Door as opposed to a split door. This is the first of their Calls we’ve featured, so be sure to investigate…

I’ve been craving crêpes with fresh strawberries and vanilla creme for a week. As much as I love French food, my patience for cooking is limited these days, and crêpe-making challenges the patience of most. But, since strawberries that actually smell like strawberries are starting to show up at the market, I am going to try to distract my crêpe-craving taste buds with fresh strawberries. Wish me luck. In the meantime, I imagine the jurors for this next show are casually eating crepes during the curation of this show. Take a look…

We’re only a few weeks out from the Kentucky Derby. And while I am not an avid follower of horse racing, I’ll take any excuse to eat Derby Pie. Kentucky is famous for originating a lot of foods, actually. The Hot Brown and Mutton BBQ are just a tiny corner of the paddock. This next Call is from Paducah (Kentucky), a 3 hours drive from Louisville (the home of the Derby), but I’m betting I can still get Derby Pie there. Don’t miss this great show opportunity…
