CALL for ENTRIES: Taking Part

Posted on August 8, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

FONDUELY
YOURS

When it comes to food, I’m not a fan of participatory requirements at restaurants. I’m not a fan of hibachi. I have no desire to have a chef flip shrimp into my mouth…call me crazy. Fondue may be my only exception to that rule. Nonetheless, I celebrate participatory arts.

Check out this Call for Art Entries from ATHICA for “Taking Part.” As a bonus, there is no prospectus to download, no fees to pay…but no sales. Interesting, eh? Here’s the call…

Call for Entries: Taking Part

Travel/shipping stipends may be available (funding decisions are on a case-by-case basis).

CHEAP DELICACY?

I consistently receive requests for calls with no entry fee, and I do post No Entry Fee Calls as regularly as I can; however, sometimes you get the opportunity for which you pay. You may love ice cream from McDonalds (I love the caramel sundae), but don’t expect an exotic delicacy for $1.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Art Buzz!

Art Buzz Publishing, founded in 2007, offers an alternative to mainstream art publications and a way for lesser known and undiscovered visual artists to showcase their work to an international audience.

The annual Art Buzz fine art search seeks passionate emerging and mid-career visual artists throughout the world. Artists that are awarded with inclusion in the book, are chosen solely on the merits of their work—not their resume, background, biography, etc. Unlike many other publications, artists can not buy their way into this book.

Art Buzz, the book, is an annual, full-color, fine quality, large (10″ x 10″) format, hardcover “coffee table” publication that is scheduled for release in January of each year with a vigorous distribution plan targeted directly to the International Fine Art Community.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all visual artists – worldwide – 18 years of age or older. All the various mediums will be accepted such as: painting (oils & acrylics, etc.), drawing, graphic art, photography (includes digital), mixed media, fiber, print making, sculpture, glass, metal, pottery, jewelry, etc. If you wish to enter two different mediums (ex. oils and mixed media, or sculpture and jewelry, etc.), you are required to submit an entry form and fee for each particular medium you enter.

SUBMISSIONS: Artwork images may be submitted by 35mm slides (or 21/4” or 4″ x 5″ transparencies), digital files (preferred) or photographs up to 8″ x 10″. All artwork images should be clearly and neatly labeled with the artist’s name, title of work, medium and dimensions. The same information should also be listed clearly on the entry form.

SLIDES: Artist slides should be 35mm (or transparencies 21/4” or 4″ x 5″). All slides should be labeled with artist’s name, title of work, medium, dimensions and an arrow pointing to the slide top. Visit the full call for slide submission guidelines.

DIGITAL SUBMISSION: Digital artwork image files will be accepted on CD (NO DVDs please) and should be readable by a Mac and named in conjunction with the actual artwork title. Visit the full call for digital submission guidelines.

NOTIFICATION: All artists will be notified of acceptance or non-acceptance via EMAIL.

ENTRY FEE: The entry fee for up to three (3) slides (or transparencies), digital images or photographs is $35.00.

DEADLINE: Postmarked by September 30, 2010.

On a personal note, my readers know that I try to ensure that none of the calls I list are scams or thinly-disguised money-making schemes. This IS NOT vanity publishing and DOES appear to be a legitimately-distributed fine art book.

CALL for ENTRIES: Found Object TRASH ART

Posted on August 2, 2010August 2, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

NOT TRASH…JUST ART

I love found object art almost as much as I love crock pot creations made from leftovers. Many emerging (not starving) artists struggle with not having the cash to participate in traditional media like oil painting. Found-object assemblage could be the solution!

Here’s a great call from Monmouth Museum for Art from Found Objects, but you have to hurry…both postmarked and emailed entries must be received by August 6, 2010. But look on the bright side…the materials are probably already laying around your house!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
Art From Found Objects: A Juried Exhibition

Museum Statement: This exhibition focuses on artwork created from the undisguised, but often modified, use of common found objects that are not normally considered art, often because they already have a non-art function. Found art derives its identity as “Art” from the designation placed upon it by the artist. “Trash Art” is included in this exhibition as works are primarily comprised from components that have been discarded and then found. 75 % of the media used to create works for this exhibition must be from either discarded, reusable or found objects.

Juror: The juror is Harriet Taub, Executive Director, Materials for the Arts (of Cultural Affairs., NYC Department)

Eligibility: Open to all artists world-wide age 18 and over. All artwork entered must be original creations by the artist and must have been completed within in the last five years.

Submission Guidelines: Submissions are limited to a maximum of TWO pieces. Acceptance into the exhibition is not guaranteed with entry. The Monmouth Museum reserves the right to reject work delivered at the time of the exhibition that is not the artist’s accepted work. Selected artwork must be wired, framed (if media applicable) and ready to hang (no saw-tooth hangers). Artwork must be less than 7 feet in height and able to fit through a standard door. Pedestals must be provided by the artist for all sculpture entries. Entered and accepted work cannot be substituted and all work must be available for the duration of the exhibition.

Submission Fees: Monmouth Museum Members: FREE (see membership form at www.monmouthmuseum.org); Non-members: $20 per piece entered (limit: 2 pieces).

Digital Submission Specifcations: DO NOT submit more than 2 images, unless work is three-dimensional (maximum three images per sculpture). Artists are requested to submit digital images in JPEG format either via email or on a CD. See prospectus for full guidelines.

Artist Statement: Include a statement (not more than 1 page) on the body of work submitted. Explain your choice of media, artistic vision, process, subject matter, training, influences, etc.

Mailing Submissions: Mail payment, CD, image list, application, artist statement and one SASE for return of the CD to:

The Monmouth Museum, P.O. Box 359, Lincroft, NJ 07738

Email Submissions: Email your application, images, statement and image list as attachments to cclark@monmouthmuseum.org.

CALL for ENTRIES: Art to Die For

Posted on July 30, 2010July 30, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

ART OF DEATH

I avoid all talk of death and mortality, in general. My fondest hope is that we I finally slow down long enough to die…instead of a wake or funeral, my loved ones will plan an elaborate seven course meal for those nearest and dearest to my heart (and stomach).
