CALL FOR ENTRIES: small work BIG STATEMENT

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

Do YOU have a lot to say?

I have never met a good artist that didn’t have a mouthful of opinion and point-of-view. And while a lot of you have taken to working in enormous sizes, a few of you still appreciate working compact.

For years I worked in 12″x12″ for ease of shipping…nothing larger than dinner plate sized, ha. Having a lot to say doesn’t necessarily mean you need a lot of space to say it in.

Here’s a great Call for Entries for works
12″x12″ and smaller.

17th Annual Small Matters of Great Importance
Submission Deadline: August 20, 2010
Exhibition Dates: October 16-November 28, 2010

Edward Hopper House Art Center welcomes applicants to its 17th annual Small Matters of Great Importance national juried exhibition, held in three gallery rooms of Edward Hopper’s birthplace and childhood home, now a not-for-profit art center listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Juror:

Clare Bell, Program Manager, Roy Lichtenstein Foundation.

Clare Bell began her career at the Guggenheim Museum in New York and has been a curator since 1987. She has served as Deputy Director of the Museum of the City of New York and as Director of Exhibitions at Pace Wildenstein Gallery. She has written essays on numerous artists, including Jim Dine, Jenny Holzer, Ellsworth Kelly, and Roy Lichtenstein, and on various other topics in 20th century art. Ms. Bell was an instructor at the School of Visual Arts for many years and since 2002 has been Program Manger at The Roy Lichtenstein Foundation.

The exhibit celebrates work in all styles and media that makes a big statement—through message, technique, or execution–despite its size.

Eligibility:

Open to all artists 18 and over and all media, including drawing, painting, photography, prints, mixed media, collage, computer art, video, wall relief, and sculpture.

All subjects and styles will be considered.

Artwork must not exceed 12″ x 12″ including frame; wall relief and sculpture limited to 6″ x 12″. All work submitted must have been executive within the past two years and not previously shown at Hopper House.

Judging Criteria:

Selections will be made per artist (rather than by individual works of art), so all entries should be cohesive and express a discernable creative sensibility specific to that artist. Selections will be made based on execution, technique, and originality.

Submissions:

Each artist may submit at least three, but no more than 5 entries. Only on-line entries through Online Juried Shows will be accepted.

Please submit all entries to www.OnlineJuriedShows.com (on the homepage look for Edward Hopper House Art Center, Small Matters of Great Importance and click “enter this show”).

Submission deadline is August 20, 2010. Call Erich Neubert from Online Juried Shows at 949-388-3407 if you need help with the submission process.

After you have submitted your entry please mail your check to Edward Hopper House, 82 North Broadway, Nyack, NY 10960 or pay via paypal through our website http://www.hopperhouse.org/ (reference SMGI ). Artists will be notified of their status via e-mail.

Non-members: $35.00 for first THREE entries; $5.00 for each additional entry (up to 5 entries total)

Curator reserves the right to reject work not satisfactorily represented by the images submitted or artwork that arrives in a condition not suitable for hanging. Artists are responsible for Shipping/Delivery. Instructions will be included with acceptance letters.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Functional Art

Posted on June 28, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I know a large number of artists that take great pride in the fact that their work is not “retail art,” and I know quite a handful of artists are proud to have their work sell in retail galleries because they can make a living doing what they love. If you are looking for a way to bridge the gap between fine art and the retail world, consider functional art as an option. Here’s a great call for functional art:

Call for entries

The Art of Applied Design is open to all applied artists age 18 or above, working in the U.S. and abroad. There is no limit on the number of objects that may be entered. Entries must be original one-of-a-kind works of the submitter, completed within the preceding three years (2007 to 2010), and be represented by high quality digital images.

Evaluation will be based upon the creative uniqueness and originality of the work, evidence of excellence in craftsmanship, and quality of the photographic images provided by the artist/designer.

Exhibition of accepted work will include notation of the artist’s name, country of residence, and e-mail address to facilitate the independent sales of exhibited work.

One entry in each material category will be selected for recognition as Best of Show for that category.

Eligibility:

All submitted works must be functional objects typically used within interior spaces that also exhibit unique, innovative, inspirational, creative artistry. Submitters must identify the primary material from which a work is constructed. Entries will be evaluated against others made from that same material.

Acceptable material categories are fiber (including paper), wood, metal, clay, and glass/plastic. Examples of appropriate objects include furnishings (hard and soft), utensils, containers, fixtures, and other objects that enhance function and physical comfort within interior spaces. Works selected for display within the DHM Digital Gallery will exhibit nontraditional, innovative design.

Not eligible for submission are the fine arts (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.); objects that are purely decorative; works that are representative of functional objects but are not, themselves, functional; photography; video; architecture or architectural drawings; graphic designs; lighting designs (i.e., the projection of illumination in space); or functional objects not typically used within interior spaces.

Images:

Only high quality digital jpg images will be accepted. We recommend at least 300 dpi, with no more than 2048 pixels (and no less than 900 pixels). Only one image per submission, illustrating the total object, should be submitted. Additional images of any one submitted object will not be viewed.

The DHM Digital Gallery will retain and modify the submitted images of accepted artwork for the purpose of using those images in publications and gallery publicity. Submission of images to this exhibit constitutes permission for future use (and modification, when necessary) of those images by the DHM Digital Gallery for the above stated purposes.

CD submissions will not be returned. Each digital image should be identified in the following manner:

lastname.firstname.abbreviatedtitle.numberonentryform

Example: Smith.Jane.HeartfeltSong.6.jpg

Entry Rules:

All entered works must be one-of-a-kind original creations by the artist, produced in the year 2007 or later. Entry may be made via the mailing of digital images on a CD, or submission of digital images to the provided e-mail address. The entry form accompanying this prospectus may be submitted as an e-mail attachment, or printed and mailed.

All submissions must be accompanied by an entry fee of $25 (U.S. dollars) for the first two objects submitted for consideration, and $10 for each additional object. The entry fee must be paid by check or money order made payable to DHM Digital Gallery, or by credit card via the link at the end of the online entry form.

If submitting an entry by e-mail attachment, the entry form and all digital images must be attached to the same e-mail transmission.

Juror:

June Gilliam Worthington, with degrees focused on Business and Interior Design, has worked with architects, builders, interior designers, landscape architects, technical consultants and artists for more than 35 years to carry out her belief that through creative effort all things are possible.

For nearly 20 of those years, she also owned and operated the es Posible Galleries in Scottsdale, Arizona, specializing in one of a kind art, accessories and functional art furnishings. The Galleries featured the works of numerous artists and craftspeople in addition to creations by her design associates.

June Gilliam Worthington has taught at universities, jurored art shows, and mentored many in search of expressing their creativity. Her clients and customers are from across the United States and many countries abroad. In recognition of this outstanding career in the arts, June Gilliam Worthington is a recipient of the Hall of Fame Award from Oklahoma State University.

Calendar:

July 15, 2010: Entries must be received by the DHM Digital Gallery
August 15, 2010: Notification of the juror’s decisions sent to artists by e-mail messaging

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Wearable Art

Posted on June 27, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

All of you know that I have a food “thing”–which, in theory, explains why this art blog is food themed. However, my Sunday morning confession is…I have a shoe and hat “thing” too. I love them and all fashion. And, I am willing to suffer to wear them. Art is art whether you can wear it or whether you have to keep it in a climate-controlled museum-like environment. To that end, here’s s great call for Wearable Art:

CALL FOR WEARABLE ART SUBMISSIONS

The 2011 Wearable Art Awards invites artists and designers to submit application packages for original garments to be included in the event’s performances and exhibition.

$5,000 CDN in prize money will be awarded. Presented by the Port Moody Arts Centre Society, the Wearable Art Awards encourage artists of all mediums to submit evocative, imaginative and thought provoking creations for the human body.

Entry Information

To participate in the 2011 Wearable Art Awards, the artist’s application package must be submitted electronically at wearableartawards.com/apply no later than 5 pm on December 10, 2010. This application contains:

Artist contact information;
Information related to each entry to be entered into the competition (an artist can submit up to three) stating the entry’s title, materials/media used, garment size, and a 150 word statement; and
Three photos of each entry to be entered into the competition (front, back, and a “bonus” photo of the artist’s choosing).

There is a $30.00 entry fee for each entry submitted in an application. The artist must also deliver payment of the applicable entry fees either by cheque or credit card no later than December 10, 2010.

A jury panel will review the application packages received and select those entries that will be part of the Wearable Art performances and exhibition. Artists whose entries are chosen will be notified during the week of December 13, 2010 through email and will then be required to deliver the following to the Port Moody Arts Centre from January 4, 2011 through January 16, 2011:

Clearly labeled entries (the actual garments);
Completed and signed entry information form for each accepted entry;
CD of high res photos of entries;
Appraisal for each accepted entry (if entry is valued at more than $1,000 CDN);
Student Award info (if applicable);
RSVP card for complimentary performance ticket;
Shipping related requirements (if applicable):
- Pre-paid return shipping (i.e. completed courier forms); and
- Return shipping labels with name and address.

Packaging used to deliver this material should be permanently labeled to include the artist’s name and entry titles.

Artists with selected entries will be provided a checklist of items to provide.

Further details—including a must-read FAQ document and copies of the various forms—are located on their web site at www.wearableartawards.com/artists.

Guidelines

The Wearable Art Awards is not a fashion show, it is a multi-media performance where the human body becomes a living, breathing, moving canvas. They are looking for more than a “pretty dress.” They are asking you to go deep into your imagination to create a wearable piece of art that challenges what most consider to be wearable, or everyday fashion.

The Wearable Art Awards is committed to challenging artists of all mediums to push their imaginations to create evocative, imaginative and thought provoking sculpture for the human body.

Important Notes

All entries must be wearable (but do not need to be practical in any way—in fact, the wilder the better!). However, please keep in mind that the entries will be presented on a red carpet and need to withstand being taken on and off for multiple photo shoots and fittings.
All accepted entries will be included in the awards performance as well as a static five week long exhibition held at Port Moody Arts Centre.
Work must not have been previously exhibited in the Tri-Cities area.
Artists should familiarize themselves with the contract included in this pamphlet. Artists will be required to sign this contract for each of their selected entries.
Artists are responsible for all shipping costs—including return shipping and shipping insurance. Must-read shipping info and tips can be found at wearableartawards.com/artists.
More detailed information and related resources can be found on our website at wearableartawards.com/artists. Our team is available to answer questions and can be reached at info@wearableartawards.com.

Jurying

Entries will be judged based on the following criteria weighted in favour of “wow” factor and conceptual message:

1. All entries must be wearable (but not necessarily practical);
2. Creativity and originality (not streetwear);
3. Design and the use of multiple elements and techniques;
4. Quality of workmanship and construction;
5. Overall presentation focused on “wow” factor; and
6. Conceptual meaning and impact.

Please visit their FAQ document to learn more about jurying.

INSPIRATION: Grafitti

Posted on June 18, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I have a lot on my mind…
change, specifically.

It is time for a little change.

On September 12th, ArtAndArtDeadlines.com will officially be one year old. And the site has survived a number of changes, I think it is time for a few more. Here are a few ideas of my own, but feel free to leave a comment with your own suggestions too:

1. New Sponsors. I am going to take a closer look at the way sponsorships work here at AAAD. I want to make sure my links are going where they will best support the art and artists that are talented and inspired.

2. A Makeover. I have been inspired by the recent Toni’s Treehouse makeover (AAAD is a sponsor) to make a few visual changes to the header and sidebars. These will be gradual, I promise.

3. Showcases. I was recently inspired by a Tweet of Catherine Roach‘s new business cards, of all things, to showcase a handful of things that some folks do really well. For example, most of the graphic designers and illustrators out there have phenomenally creative business cards. It is a networking opportunity for those featured and hopefully an inspiration for my readers.

So if you have more suggestions, let me know by leaving a comment. In the meantime, while I was contemplating what sort of art would newly reside behind the “Art” in the header, I thought of grafitti as an option. Then, like kismet, I tripped across the call for entries…inspired by grafitti. Here’s the call:

artspace announces an open call to all artists working in any medium to submit entries for Strassen Kunst, an international exhibition of work inspired by graffiti. The exhibition juror, Martin McFadden LRPS, Director and Curator, 12 12 Gallery, Richmond, Virginia, will award up to $1000 and a solo exhibition in artspace’s Helena Davis Gallery.

ELIGIBILITY International artists age 18+, working in 2D or 3D whose work consists of or is inspired by any aspect of graffiti, including painting, tagging, stenciling, etc., may submit 3 digital images of work to be considered for the exhibition. Additional images may be submitted at additional cost, for up to a total of 5 works. Work that has been previously exhibited at artspace is not eligible.

ENTRY PROCEDURE Entrants may submit ONLY digital images on CD or online. Only one digital image may be submitted for each work. Diptychs or triptychs must be on one image. Limit size of framed work to 60 inches, in either direction, and up to 65 lbs. Space limitations do not allow for installations of work. Digital files for viewing should be JPG format at 300 ppi, saved at 10-12 quality level, with the longest dimension being 1900 pixels. Label each file with the last name, first initial, and the number corresponding to the entry number (e.g. SmithJ1). Please identify images on the entry form with the title of the work.

CD, completed entry form, entry fee, and a self-addressed, stamped envelope, for the return of your CD and notification of acceptance, must be postmarked by Friday, July 9, 2010 and sent to artspace, Zero E. 4th Street, Richmond, Virginia, 23224. If no SASE is provided, notification will be sent via e-mail.

ONLINE SUBMISSIONS In the body of an e-mail include your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address. In this e-mail provide information for the images you wish to submit. Attach images of the work corresponding to the information provided and send to the exhibition e-mail at artspacestreetart@gmail.com by 11:59 PM Friday, July 9, 2010. Notice of acceptance will be e-mailed.

ENTRY FEE All submissions require payment of a non-refundable entry fee of $25 for three (3) entries, which is accepted via PayPal, personal check or money order mailed to the gallery by the postmark deadline. Additional entries may be submitted at $5.00 (US) each, for up to five (5) total entries.

ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION Notice of acceptance will be mailed or e-mailed Friday, July 23, 2010. Artist bios, resumes, and statements will be requested upon acceptance to show.

QUESTIONS Contact the gallery by telephone at 804.232.6464 or by e-mail at artspacestreetart@gmail.com with questions regarding the exhibition, prospectus, or online entry process.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Ventura California

Posted on June 10, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

On ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, I preach the wisdom of not getting complacent…of continuing to enter shows. However…

I have been working on my show Psychomachia (see a detail of Lust: The Three Legged Man at left) for more than a year now with Arizona artist Jerry Portelli, and I have worked on it to the exclusion of almost everything else.

So, I really need to take my own advice and decide that it is time that I at least enter a couple of shows…it is all about balance…apples AND Cheetos.

NO MORE EXCUSES.

I PROMISE.

It has ceased to be about cash prizes for me. It is all about the ability to show in new places. Here is one of the shows that I think that I will enter this June:

PHOTOGRAPHY: Emerging Work

Posted on May 28, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

Photography Week
on Art & Art Deadlines

Installment 4:
No Resume, No Problem

You know how much I love shows that don’t require artists to submit resumes.

I think artwork should be judged on its merits, not its pedigree…but I don’t often trip across artshows where they are brazenly looking for work that has been little seen or documented…the Apeture Portfolio Prize.

Finally…we don’t have to have the “chicken or the egg” conversation. Yippee.
Here’s the call for the Apeture Portfolio Prize.

The purpose of the Aperture Portfolio Prize is to identify trends in contemporary photography and specific artists whom they can help by bringing a wider audience.

In choosing the first-prize winner and runners-up, they are looking for work that is fresh and that hasn’t been widely seen in major publications or exhibition venues.

First prize is $5,000.

The first-prize winner and runners-up are featured in Aperture’s website for approximately one year.

Winners are also announced in the foundation’s e-newsletter, which reaches thousands of subscribers in the photography community.

Deadline: July 14, 2010, at 12:00 noon EST.

Results Announced: November 1, 2010.

For more information, see the Guidelines and FAQs pages.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: At Her Age

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

I am rapidly approaching 40, and I don’t like it.

I have alot to say about aging, but it hasn’t come out in my artwork yet. I am afraid to open that proverbial can of worms for fear of spiralling into my own narcissitic world of self-indulgent “Oh Woe is Me” work that will permanently end my ability to produce work of any sort of value aside from auto-biographical. Yep, issues. Moving on…

I have found an opportunity to say something about my aging in a project-oriented way that might help restrain my tendancy for getting carried away, and I thought you might like it too.

“At Her Age”
an exhibition on Women, Sex and Age
curated by Martha Wilson, artist and founder of Franklin Furnace

A.I.R. Gallery is pleased to announce CURRENTS, a timely and innovative exhibition series. Each year the CURRENTS exhibit will address an issue that warrants expanded critical attention in the art world.

A.I.R. will invite established and non-traditional curators (artists, activists, writers, poets) to select the works to be exhibited with the theme designed as a collaboration between the curator and the gallery.

This new opportunity is open to all self-identified women artists worldwide and will be curated through an open call and through invitations by the curator.

For the inaugural CURRENTS exhibit, Martha Wilson will curate, “At Her Age,” an exhibit on Women, Age and Sex.

“At Her Age” will examine how women at any period in their life, old or young, view their changing bodies.

Questions to be addressed could be:

“How does age affect experiencing one’s sexual/sensual life?”

“How age impacts one’s evolving personal and social relationships?”

While older women may be perceived by others as inconsequential or asexual, they personally experience increasing knowledge of themselves.

Younger women may experience curiosity/fear/pleasure about the changes in their own bodies due to age.

A.I.R. Gallery is looking for artwork, to be selected by Martha Wilson, that addresses age and sex as part of an evolutionary process.

Download the Prospectus Here.

About the Curator:

Martha Wilson is an artist and Founding Director of Franklin Furnace Archive, Inc. Since its inception in 1976, Franklin Furnace has presented and preserved temporal art: artists’ books and other multiples produced internationally after 1960; temporary installations; and performance art. Ms. Wilson lectures widely on the book as an art form, on performance art, and on “live art on the Internet.”

Trained in English Literature, Ms. Wilson was teaching at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design when she became fascinated by artworks created at the intersection of text and image.

In New York, she founded DISBAND, the all-girl punk band of artists who couldn’t play any instruments. Since DISBAND disbanded in 1982, she has performed in the guises of Alexander Haig, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, and Tipper Gore. In the spring of 2008, she had her first solo exhibition in New York at Mitchell Algus Gallery, “Martha Wilson: Photo/Text Works, 1971-1974.”

DEADLINE: May 14, 2010 – Midnight online, 6pm drop off, or postmark

IMAGE GUIDELINES:

DIGITAL: Submit digital images online or on CD. Jpg files only. File names should be your telephone number followed by the image number (i.e. 2122556651-1.jpg, 2122556651-2.jpg). Images should not exceed 1000 pixels x 1000 pixels or 300k in memory. All images should be oriented correctly.

VIDEO: Submit 3 minutes or less on DVD that is playable on a computer and on a DVD player. A.I.R.’s website does not accept video uploads. DVDs must be mailed or hand delivered to the gallery on or before TBD at 6pm.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Digital Art

Posted on March 25, 2010March 25, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I get a lot of email, queries and facebook comments as to the legitimacy of the calls I post. And, while I understand that one rotten apple can spoil the barrel. Rest assured, I make every effort to sniff out the bad apples. To my knowledge, I have never post a fraudulent or scam call. Let me know if I ever do.

On that note, I am always hesitant to post calls for online exhibitions because they tend to strike my readers as a way to lose their cash for little benefit in return. However I must say, I am a big fan of art organizations that lay it all out there. Take today’s call for example.

The Austin Museum of Digital Art says, “Since AMODA currently has no permanent exhibition space, there are some types of visual art that are more practical for us to present than others. In particular, we are seeking artwork to display in our Digital Showcase Series. The Digital Showcase is a one night only event featuring live electronic music and visual art in a social setting, such as a bar or nightclub.” I get it, and I appreciate the fact that the call isn’t hidden in some vague archaic language.

Austin is known for its innovative art vision, and I love the idea of bringing art to the public instead of coercing the public to come see art. Here’s the call:

VISUAL ART

The Austin Museum of Digital Art is open to receiving a wide range of visual art submissions, including anything that they would define as digital art. Please see their About Digital Art page for more information.

“However, since AMODA currently has no permanent exhibition space, there are some types of visual art that are more practical for us to present than others. In particular, we are seeking artwork to display in our Digital Showcase Series. The Digital Showcase is a one night only event featuring live electronic music and visual art in a social setting, such as a bar or nightclub.”

The forms of art that work well in these events are video art, computer animation, digital prints, performance pieces, live video, multimedia installations, and interactive pieces. To submit visual art for their Digital Showcases Series, please send an email to visual.art@amoda.org. (See the submission guidelines below for more info on what to include in your email.)

FLYER ILLUSTRATION

Each Digital Showcase features a different flyer illustrator. If you would like your work to be considered, please contact their Creative Team Director at design@amoda.org. (See the submission guidelines below for more info on what to include in your email.)

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Without A Map

Posted on March 24, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

The theme of the week seems to be “Eat Out” or at least “Show Out(side)” of your neighborhood. Here is a great show in the North Suburbs of Chicago that is juried from an International pool of artists.

There is a $35 entry fee; however, the Northbrook Public Library (sponsor of the show) does not take a commission on sales. Woo hoo!

I frequently expound the virtues of showing in more academic and/or public venues like universities and libraries. These are opportunities for you to show in a respected space and often find a different audience. Give it a try. Here’s the call:

The Northbrook Public Library is seeking entries for its 8th annual international juried art show, “Without a Map,” to be held October 1 through November 15, 2010. A gala opening reception will be held October 1.

Artists 18 years and older, working in all 2-D and 3-D art media, are invited to submit digital entries. The exhibition is limited to original artwork created within two years of the entry date.

Artists should consider the theme, “Without a Map,” as embodying free-spiritedness, exploration, independence and an inherent desire to attain a goal.

The exhibit is open to the general public and artwork must be viewable for all ages.

Prizes include a $2,000 purchase prize as well as numerous other prizes.

Entry fee is $35 for up to three submissions.

Deadline for submission is May 31, 2010.
