CALL for ENTRIES: Emotion

Posted on October 10, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CHEESY
love

I am emotionally attached to goat cheese. I recognize how very irrational that is, but the fact remains that “I love goat cheese.” I dream about it. Eating herb-crusted goat cheese on freshly-backed foccacia with a few capers is the height of emotional eating for me. It can take away almost ANY bad day. No joke. Luckily, my bad days are not too frequent, ha. This next Call wants to know about your Emotional quirks. Don’t miss this chance…

Check out this Call to Artists for Emotion from the Linus Galleries (California). The exhibit offers an online listing as well as the possibility for a showing in one of their brick and mortar galleries. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Wine Label Contest

Posted on October 9, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

HAILING
a cab

I would hurt someone for a pepper-crusted cut of ahi right now. Understand, ahi is not a common food in my house. I’m too cheap, and Gatlinburg isn’t really known for more exotic varieties of fish. But some days you wake up and you just want what you want. You know what would be even better? A big glass of Cabernet Sauvignon to go with the ahi tuna. Okay, the Cab I can pull off pretty easily. This next Call gives you a perfect reason to sample a little Cabernet Sauvignon as well. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: 9×12 in 2012

Posted on October 3, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

LAZY NIGHTS

I had salmon “en papillote” tonight. Fear not, it just means “in parchment”. Contrary to what you might think, it is not the French-cool-factor that leads me down the path of parchment cooking. (Okay, maybe a little.) The real reason is because it is healthy since it requires so little fat. Okay, that’s a lie too. The truth? There is virtually no cleanup. No dirty saute pans. Yep, laziness has lead to French cooking. Go figure. This next Call is all about the paper too. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: 87th Annual

Posted on September 26, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ON the MENU

I want to collect menus. Some of them are simply stunning. The effort put into the perfect design and print simply amazes me. But, then I catch an episode of Hoarding: Buried Alive, and I think, “I’ll just come eat here more often and admire the menu.” If you’re gonna collect, make it count. The home of this next Call would be a great place to start collecting. Take a look…

OPEN CALL: Love + Lust

Posted on September 25, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

I’M TOO SEXY
for your bananas

I am fascinated by idea of aphrodisiac foods. For the record, ALL foods are aphrodisiacs in my house, ha. Food is always a sensual experience for us, but I, as you know, have issues. However, I am talking about all of the foods that are supposed to make you feel frisky or perform better sexually. The top 10 include everything from the expected, chocolate, to the odd and unexpected, bananas. Bananas? I don’t think so. This next Call is all about love and lust. Take a look…

And sometimes love and lust overlap. What images capture these emotions for you?

OPEN CALL: Cork Street London

Posted on September 24, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CARRY BACK
some curry
FOR ME

Do you know that one of the most popular foods in London is curry? Mmmhmm. Not bangers-n-mash or blood pudding or spotted dick. Those are just the stereotypes. And although fish ‘n’ chips are still the traditional national food, make room for curry in every variety. You can see for yourself at the opening for this next Call. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Cork Street Open Exhibition held at the Gallery at Cork Street in London. Enter almost any media online for as little as £20 (~$33 USD) for your shot at this London show by November 11th! Don’t miss out…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Cork Street
Open Exhibition

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All media except reproductions, film & video

DEADLINE: November 11, 2012

NOTIFICATION: December 1, 2012

ENTRY FEE: £20 for one (approx. $32.50 USD), £30 for up to 3, and £50 for up to 6 entries.

JUROR: The panel of judges is headed each year by Louis Singh, director of Beaux Arts Gallery London. In addition, four experts from the contemporary art world are also invited to participate, bringing the total on the panel to five. Members have included established artists, gallery owners, art critics and writers, art dealers, art enthusiasts and celebrities who may or may not be publicly recognized as accomplished artists.

Updates to the jury list are found here.

Louis Singh says, “St Ives in the 1970s was a somewhat lazier place than today. Late morning deals were customarily made with cigarette in one hand and glass of sherry in the other. Back then my father had the Wills Lane gallery which ensured my mind was constantly flooded with images of the St Ives School as soon as my eyes had opened.

“When I was ten my parents opened the Beaux Arts gallery in Bath which continued to nurture these Cornish roots. These days with a sister gallery in London, minus the sherry, not much has changed. I busy myself by keeping the gallery from growing old by steering some youth and raw contemporary talent, towards its doors.”

AWARDS: Grand Prize Award £1,000 Cash Prize & £1,000 worth of Materials and Services.

For a complete list of awards, click here.

SALES: All works must be for sale at the exhibition, prices set by the artist, and Cork Street Open Exhibition will retain 40% of the selling price.

CALL for ENTRIES: Hit the Road

Posted on September 20, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

WHY DID the CHICKEN
cross the road?

The best part of hitting the open road is, of course, the FOOD. My practice is to spend a little time surveying the locals of where we are about the best place to eat. Inevitably, I get a significant number of people that refer me to the same place. And it always ends up being “the best breakfast” or “the best burger” in town. Getting eggs right isn’t easy, folks, and I always appreciate a good reference. This next Call is all about hitting the road. Investigate for yourself…

Check out this Call to Artists for Hit the Road from the Linus Galleries (California). The exhibit offers an online listing as well as the possibility for a showing in one of their brick and mortar galleries. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstract is Real

Posted on September 17, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ABSTRACTLY
tasting

I find deconstructed food fascinating. I love to see a chef’s abstract interpretation of a classic like Caesar Salad or Boston Clam Chowder. I NEVER expect it to actually taste like the classic dish, but I have never been disappointed. Really. It is truly art on a plate. This next Call is all about the Abstract. Intrigued?

Check out this Call for Entries from EWNS Art Project (France) for the Abstract is Real exhibit. Selection for this show gets you into an online gallery, AND pre-selects you the Paris gallery exhibition in 2012/2014. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Collectors Choice

Posted on September 11, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

TWO, FOUR, SIX
and ATE

I collect food-specific dishes. Weird, I know. I have ceramic turtles for wasabi, three-legged lava rock bowls for salsa, futuristic pods for olives, individual berry bowls, and there will be more. (Maybe these egg cups). Always the proper tool for the job, you could say. This next Call is really ALL about the collectors. See if this one is right for you…

Here’s an interesting Call for Entries from the Sylvia White Gallery in Ventura, California for the 2013 Collectors’ Choice. I am intrigued, this is a great opportunity for a few of you, but the challenge is in figuring out if YOUR work is something this anonymous group of collectors want. Investigate for your self…

CALL for ENTRIES:
2013 Collectors’ Choice

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Paintings, mixed media, paper, photography, sculpture, installation, digital, video and performance.

DEADLINE: November 15, 2012 at 11:00 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST) / Midnight, Mountain Standard Time (MST)

ENTRY FEE: $35 (USD) for 3 images, $5 each additional image, maximum 10.

JURORS: Each art collector may select one or more pieces by artists that are not currently represented in their private collection. Collectors’ names will be kept anonymous until the opening reception. Editor’s Note: My assumption is these are collectors that purchase work in the Sylvia White Gallery. Because they are anonymous, the best recommendation I have for research is to spend some time investigate the artists the gallery represents, since in theory, it is their work these collectors are purchasing–at least in part.

AWARDS: Selected artists will participate in 2013 Collector’s Choice January 2-February 9, at Sylvia White Gallery.

SALES: Unless otherwise specified, accepted works will be considered for sale at the price indicated and 30% commission will be retained by The Sylvia White Gallery.
