Posted on September 29, 2010September 29, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I SEE RED

I am a big fan of the color RED. I wear red clothing. I own a red Jeep. I eat red foods. My husband and I sing together as the Pea Pickin’ Hearts, and we sing a song called “I See Red” about throwing away the rose-colored glasses in exchange for the red-eyed passion of life–good or bad.

Check out this next Call for Entries that screams “Red” to me. Lipstick & Rouge is the first juried show for Second Space Gallery in Spokane, Washington. The entry fee is as low as $10 too. I need a cupcake.

CALL for ENTRIES: Past is Present

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

DO HICKEYS

It will come as no surprise that I love kitchen gadgets. I actually own a machine called the CoCoMotion (pictured right) that serves the solitary purpose of making hot cocoa at the perfect temperature. Embarrassing, but true. The top of my cabinets serves as a storage house of ridiculous serving pieces I’ll never use, old cheese boxes, and some very cool art made out of toasters. And if it is an OLD kitchen gadget…like my egg scale, then I’m really in love.

I fell in love for this Call for Entries from The Columbus (GA) Museum called Past is Present: Contemporary Approaches to Historical Decorative Arts and Design.

BETTER WITH TIME

I don’t like aging. I just don’t. I have heard lots of people say that things get better with age. And, while I will grant you that stinky cheese is always better with age (and I love stinky cheese by the way), I am still not seeing the bright side of getting older. Don’t send the emails…they won’t work.

I love new galleries and new galleries with fresh ideas. But, there is a great deal to be said for folks that have been there and done that–who know how to curate, jury and hang a show from years of experience.

GREEN ART: Yosemite Renaissance

Posted on September 14, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

CHARTREUSE ANYONE?

Is your family green or eco-friendly? My family has made progress toward going the eco-friendly green revolution in baby steps over the past few years with a little help from our friends over at Toni’s Treehouse. However, I’ll admit that it never occurred to me that my art could offer a greater opportunity to contribute to environmental awareness. Just don’t ask me to drink the juice, ugh.

Check out the Call for Entries for the 26th Annual Yosemite Renaissance Exhibit. You can enter one piece for as little as $15 and help create an ongoing desire for the environmental protection of Yosemite National Park in new generations with your unique interpretation of the park. It’s good to be green…

CALL for ENTRIES: Yosemite Renaissance XXVI

Yosemite Renaissance is an annual competition/exhibition which is intended to encourage diverse artistic interpretations of Yosemite.

Its goals are to bring together the works of serious contemporary artists that do not simply duplicate traditional representations; to establish a continuum with past generations of Yosemite artists; and to help re-establish visual art as a major interpretive medium of the landscape and a stimulus to the protection of the environment.

Historically, the arts have played a very important role in the establishment of our State and National Parks. It is the hope of Yosemite Renaissance that they can be just as important in future efforts to preserve and protect that heritage.

ELIGIBILITY: The Yosemite Renaissance XXVI competition is open to all living artists. Subject matter is limited to recent works on the landscape, environment, wildlife and people of Yosemite or the environment of the Sierra. Both representational and non-representational submissions are accepted.

MEDIA: Original artwork may be in any medium. Size is limited to works that can be shipped in containers not exceeding maximum U.P.S. dimensions of 130 inches, length and girth combined. Triptychs or other multi-image pieces (exhibited under one title) should not exceed 48 x 48.”

LIMITS: Each artist is limited to eight entries. No more than two entries from any artist will be included in the exhibit.

DEADLINE: November 13, 2010

SELECTION & AWARD PROCEDURES: Artists must submit one digital file for each artwork entered. Up to three digital files may be submitted for each three-dimensional piece. Please do not submit slides.

1. Preliminary and final selection for inclusion in the exhibit will be made by the jurors from the digital files. Between 35 and 50 pieces will be selected for the exhibition.

2. Artists whose works are selected from the digital files will ship their original works for the exhibition at the Yosemite Museum Gallery. (If the originals differ significantly in appearance from the digital files which were submitted they may be disqualified.)

3. From the original works the independent jurors will select award-winners to be announced on the night of the opening reception, Friday, February 25, 2011.

AWARDS: At least $4,000 in cash awards will be distributed at the discretion of the judges. Purchase awards may be given as well.

A special award of $300 will be given to the best piece inspired by Hetch Hetchy (pictured below) that the jurors select to be included in the exhibit.

JURORS: The Board of Directors of Yosemite Renaissance (consisting of artists, curators and administrators) will make the initial selection of works for the exhibition. Cash award-winners will be selected by independent judges to be announced.

ENTRY FEE: There is a non-refundable entry/handling fee of $15.00 for each entry. Payment must accompany your entry submissions. Your check or money order should be made payable (only in U.S. dollars) to Yosemite Renaissance, Inc. One check may cover several entries from one artist (up to the eight entries allowed per artist).

ENTRY PROCEDURES: Entry is by digital files only. No slides. Digital files should be submitted in the form of CDs or DVDs (include all of your entries on a single CD or DVD).

CALL for ENTRIES: New York Photo Show

Posted on September 5, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

SIFT THIS!

Newer isn’t always better. I have wooden spoons and cookie sheets in my kitchen whose original material compositions are virtually undetectable. Sometimes you stick with what you love, but sometimes folks come along regardless of age and instantly recognize the value of something that has worked for someone else forever…like my husband’s second hand flour sifter. Discover an oldie (but goodie) of your own with this show…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Smith Township Arts Council for the 31st Annual Juried Photography Exhibition. This year the theme is alternative processes or contemporary use of historical process, and it is juried by Joy Goldkind. Maybe it is time to break out the pinhole camera again…

Call for Entries: 31st Annual Juried Photography Exhibition

The subject matter for this exhibit is limited only by your imagination! Smith Township Arts Council and Juror Joy Goldkind are looking to show the contemporary use of historical processes. Show them the way in which you bring the past and future together.

Bromoil, albumen, collotype, kallitype, lazertran, anthotype, ziatype, carbon, argyrotype, cyanotype, daguerreotype, gum bichromate, salted paper, photo-gravure, solarplate, tintype, platinum and palladium, van dyke, hand applied emulsions, wet-plate collodion, silver gelatin and combinations of all of the above will be considered.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all photography. Entries may not have been shown previously at Mills Pond House Gallery. Maximum Frame Size 48″ width

ENTRY DEADLINE: November 10, 2010

ENTRY FEE: $45 for up to 3 entries, $30 for STAC members. Artists may join at time of entry.

LIABILITY / SALES: Work will be insured for the duration of the exhibition. STAC will receive a 30% gallery commission on all work sold.

NOTIFICATION: Emailed November 23

GALLERY REQUIREMENTS: Shipping, insurance and display requirements are posted at www.stacarts.org/exhibits

AWARDS:

1st Place: $300 Excellence in Photography Award Sataporn Suravichai Memorial, Winner’s Exhibition Opportunity, One-year STAC Artist Membership

2nd Place: $100 Award of Merit

ABOUT THE JUROR: Joy Goldkind was 50 years old before she took her first photography class, though her back-ground was always based in the fine arts. De-spite an unusually late start, Goldkind’s career as a fine arts photographer has progressed rather rapidly.

Her photographs of nude danc-ers, geishas, drag queens, ballerinas, circus per-formers, etc. have not gone unnoticed. Some-times inspired from a fantasy world, the use of double exposures and slow shutter speeds help Joy to change what is true and expected into a more surrealistic scene. The old world beauty and quality they possess is in no doubt influ-enced by a deep interest in art history.

With the use of the historic Bromoil process as a tool to express her fine art portraits, Joy adds a layer of mystery to her photographs. Very popular in the early 1900’s, the Bromoil process was favored by pictorial photographers who used it to add a more artistic rendering to their work. Each piece is individually inked by hand, therefore no two prints are identical.

CALL for ENTRIES: Coupling from Gallery 110

Posted on September 4, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

SOMETIMES YOU FEEL
LIKE A NUT

Some things just go together. And, athough I always think of myself as a strong, individual personality. I’ve come to realize that I clearly value being part of a duo. My husband Jon and I are rarely apart. My friend Toni and I are “two nuts in a pod,” and even my artwork has become collaborative. Which duo in your life adds the pea-nuty center?

Check out the Call for Entries for Couplings from Gallery 110 in Seattle. This International Juried Art Show is looking for work that explores personal relationships. Here’s a great opportunity to add a gallery from another major art center to your resume. Take the chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Couplings

In February 2011 Gallery 110 will host an international juried show titled Couplings. As a tie-in to Valentine’s Day, the gallery is calling for artwork that explores personal relationships.

In our world of many dualities and increasing isolation the idea of “couplings” has many modern interpretations of love and affection. Gallery 110 invites artists to submit works that celebrate these pairings and the power of the bonds they create.

JUROR: Rock Hushka is Director of Curatorial Administration and Curator of Contemporary and Northwest Art at Tacoma Art Museum. He also serves as an Affiliate Assistant Professor at the University of Washington.

At Tacoma Art Museum (pictured right), Hushka has curated more than 45 projects including Sparkle Then Fade, The Forty Part Motet by Janet Cardiff, A Reworking of Spem in Alium 1573, by Thomas Tallis, and the nationally touring Lewis and Clark Territory: Contemporary Artists Revisit Place, Race, and Memory. He has completed eleven major exhibition and catalogue projects including The Romantic Vision of Michael Brophy, Where Sky Meets Earth: The Luminous Landscapes of Victoria Adams, and two Northwest Biennials.

Under his leadership of the artistic program, Tacoma Art Museum has received major grants from the National Endowment for the Arts for a collection handbook of the Northwest collection and from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts for the forthcoming exhibition Art, AIDS, America.

AWARDS: First and second prize winners will take home $300 and $200 respectively.

A gallery commission of 50% will be deducted from sales. Artists grant permission to Gallery 110 to reproduce accepted artwork for promotional uses in both printed and electronic forms.
