CALL for ENTRIES: Contemporary Portraiture

Posted on January 25, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

NAAN
for me,
thanks

How is it possible that images of deities continue to show up in food? Moreover, how is it possible that it still makes the news? If you were a deity, would “show up on a piece of naan” be on the top of your to-do list? If you were all powerful, would your idea of contemporary portraiture be Indian bread? I didn’t think so. it doesn’t matter who the deity is. Just no. For portraiture, let’s all stick with a Call like this next one. On the wall, not on your plate…

Check out this Call for Entries for Contemporary Portraiture from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, VA). The entry fee is ALWAYS reasonable at this gallery, and I you know how I LOVE portraiture…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Contemporary Portraiture

Historically, portraiture has relied heavily on artistic interpretation of the subject. Photographs, while still embracing the artist’s point of view, record selected surroundings and fractions of seconds. This allows for a different kind of interpretation; one based on real-life context rather than medium and imagination. For Expressions: Contemporary Portraiture The Kiernan Gallery seeks photographs of the self or of others that capture the expression, personality, or mood of the subject.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE:
February 21, 2014

NOTIFICATION:
Approx. 8 days later

ENTRY FEE:
5 for $25, each add’l $5

JUROR: Robin Rice’s mission is simple: to document the world around her in a cinematic way. Whether capturing the innate beauty of tucked-away South American landscapes or the reflective moments of unknowing subjects, her photographs are always candid. As a photographer, Robin has an earthy and bohemian way of portraying people and situations that is reflective of the way she lives life.

When she is not searching for inspiration from local people and places around the world, she runs The Robin Rice Gallery in New York City. As an artist who feels lucky to be able to parlay her love of the photographic medium into a career, she treats her gallery like a family rather than a business and is dedicated to supporting the work of established and local artists.

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.

The Kiernan Gallery DOES still have incentive to sell your work. The 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.

TO EAT

Being hungry is my nightmare. Some people are afraid of snakes or the dark or being a victim of a crime. I fear hunger. To my knowledge, there is no deep-seated hunger issues in my childhood. I just scares me. Hunger isn’t just prevalent in rural areas or third-world nations. People are hungry every where, every day, from the country to far more urban areas. I’d like to see a little more attention-getting street artists focus their work on the people in the shadow of their work that are hungry. This next show is an opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Art Biologic 2014

Posted on January 9, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

here a CHICKEN
there a GOAT

As I search for land for the straw bale house that my family intends to build, critters have become an issue. I am thrilled by the prospects of having chickens for eggs & goats for milk, but am I really dedicated to the biology of it all? Do I really want to be married to the drama of a chicken coop and all the possible predators? Do I really want to give up spontaneous long weekends due to a milking schedule? It may BE all natural, but it doesn’t necessarily COME NATURALLY. This next call wants your take on the art of biology, but it needn’t be all chickens and goats. Take a look…

The only thing I know about football is tailgating food & Super Bowl party appetizers. But somehow, I ended up with dozens and dozens of Facebook friends that are seemingly obsessed. Every Sunday, my news feed fills with ALL-CAPS exclamations of joy, disbelief and frequent devastation over this game. I don’t get it, but I do know what they eat. In the meantime, apparently there are galleries where they like the game too. Maybe this one is for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Barsky Gallery (Hoboken, NJ) for Art’s Salute to Football. There’s no entry fee, but the commission is 50%. If it doesn’t sell, you may have the perfect gift for the football fiend in your family. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Sustainable WEST

Posted on December 30, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

GREEN
is more than
GREENS

Truly living green in the kitchen is a touch complicated. Yes, I can buy locally sourced, sustainable foods. But, as we work toward designing a kitchen for the straw bale house we plan to build this year, do I really have it in me to skip out on a traditional stove/oven for a wood-burning or rocket stove/oven? Not so sure. But while I’m contemplating it, I can at least submit sustainably-themed work for this next Call. How about you?

CAKE

Isn’t it funny how certain seasons suddenly bring about the craving for very specific foods? It never occurs to most people to even think about fruitcake until we start seeing winter holiday decorations appear. My German in-laws (3rd generation via Wisconsin) save kuchen for Christmas. Kuchen is German & approximately translates to “cake,” but I know it as a sort of custard & jam filled sweet-dough, low-rise cake that screams Christmas. Much to my surprise, it is also the state dessert of South Dakota–the home of this next Call. This is a beautiful venue, by the way…

TO GROW

I am slightly obsessed with the hunt for the perfect piece of land. My husband & I are determined that 2014 will be the year we finally build a house, but we can talk about that adventure later. Right now, I have to find the land. I need land that will both allow for a solar-efficient, south-facing house, but I also need a large enough plot to accommodate our offices, a studio, and a garden, of course–and cheap. I know. The land really MEANS something to me just like the landscape needs to MEAN something in this next Call. Keep reading…

I want to smack every pert, ponytail-wearing, 20-something that looks at me with pity when they see 2 lbs. of butter in my shopping cart. I can read their calorie-counting little minds, “Fat makes you fat; no wonder you’ve got a case of the pudgies.” Really? Does anyone really still believe the myth that fat makes you fat? My pudge is due to eating more than I move. End of story. I’ll take my butter over your chemical-laden margarine any day, Ms. Ponytail. Explore your own myths with this next Call.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Myths & Legends

This exhibit celebrates works of art that bring to life fantastical myths, legends, fables, folktales, fairy tales, and the like. Around the world, from prehistoric times to the present, artists have been part of the story-telling process, giving shape and form to fantastical stories of supernatural beings, great heroes and heroines, cautionary tales, magical creatures, and more. In ancient times, artists commonly rendered images of these stories on walls, pottery, statuary, tapestries, and paintings. In more recent times, books, graphic novels, movies, apps, and games have expanded the way we experience these stories. No matter the time period, the artist becomes the story-teller and shares their spectacular vision through their art.

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to artists age 18 and older working in the U.S.

MEDIA: All media welcome; small to large-scale installations; new media encouraged; indoor only.

DEADLINE:
December 6, 2013

NOTIFICATION:
Via email on or before
December 17, 2013

ENTRY FEE: Artists must submit a $25 entry fee (or $20 for Annmarie members) for up to four entries. Entry fee must be paid by check, money order, or credit card.

JUROR: TBA

AWARDS: Annmarie will present cash awards to outstanding work. Judging will be done on installed works, not application images. If possible, judging will occur prior to the exhibit opening and awards will be presented at the opening reception.

SALES: Works selected for exhibition cannot be removed before the end of the exhibition. Should a sale resulting from the exhibition occur, Annmarie will retain a 40% commission of the listed sale price.
