EXPERIENCE by the POUND

There is something to be said for tradition and experience.  I traditionally gain 7 pounds from Thanksgiving to New Years, but that isn’t the best example, I suppose.  I just can’t resist the sweet potato cassarole.  However, the experience gained by doing something year after year better equips me to tackle the problems and make it better the next year, in theory.  This next call proves that after 30 years, some people just know how to get it right.

Check out the Call for Entries from the Spiva Center for the Arts for a competition called photoSPIVA 2011.  Founded in 1977, photoSPIVA has become the longest-running phot competition of its kind in the US.  Take a look…

photoSPIVA 2011

Learn more about photoSPIVA 2011 online!PhotoSpiva is a national competition hosted annually by Spiva Center for the Arts. Founded in 1977, PhotoSpiva has become the longest-running photographic competition of its kind in the U.S.  As stated by the founders, the objective of PhotoSpiva is to “present an exhibition of excellence in photography, celebrating the scope and vigorous activity of today’s contemporary photographers.”

Co-Founder Jim Mueller stated, “We have intentionally avoided any categorization of either photographers or their work in setting forth the criteria for this competitive.” PhotoSpiva welcomes any photographic process as long as it is original artwork and has not been previously exhibited at Spiva Center for the Arts. This philosophy has created an unbiased forum for exhibiting and educating photographers. The PhotoSpiva prospectus, promotional materials and exhibition brochures are distributed to professional photographers, emerging artists, educators, students, and amateur photography enthusiasts throughout the United States.

ELIGIBILITY:  PhotoSpiva is open to any amateur or professional photographer in the United States or its territories.  Submitted images must be the photographer’s own work, and it is the sole responsibility of the photographer to obtain written releases from any recognizable person(s) depicted. Work derived from any photographic process — traditional, digital, or photo-based mixed media — is eligible as long as the work is original and has never been exhibited at George A. Spiva Center for the Arts.

BUFFALO…in brief.

When you think of Colorado and food, does it conjure images of snow bunnies and hot chocolate?  Then clearly you need to revisit Colorado.  When I think of Colorado, I think of Buffalo Burgers.  Buffalo burgers, once a fringe food, have now found their place in everyday fare.   In South Central Colorado, the buffalo burgers are unmatched.  I wonder if there’s any chance buffalo will be on the menu at this next exhibit’s opening night…

MOMMA

Have you ever wondered why most women fill the family role of cook?  (although not in my house)  …But in the professional world most Chefs are men?  Me too.  I like being female, despite the issues…even in the South.  Today I’m paying tribute to one of my favorite female Chefs, Cat Cora, who proves gender doesn’t matter…at least in this case.  But we all know that gender does matter, especially in this next call for entries.

Check out this Call for Entries for Gender Matters/Matters of Gender from The Freedman Gallery at Albright College.  The entry fee for up to three images is only $20, and the juror, Judith Tannenbaum,  is spectacular.  Did I mention that this art exhibit is open to entries from BOTH genders?  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Gender Matters/Matters of Gender

Download the Prospectus for Gender Matters/Matters of Gender!Gender Matters/Matters of Gender, expands this tradition to include works by artists of both sexes who work from a consciousness of how gender is reflected in art, how the artist’s gender influences her or his medium, and how gender often affects the circumstances in which the artist creates. This show will include a range of artists who make art which explores sexual identity, evolutions in biological reproduction and art which is sometimes informed by an awareness of gender based craft and traditions.

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to everyone. Entries must represent original works of art or design and represent or address the theme in some way.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Arrangement

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by email!GUILTY PLEASURE

I frequently joke that I would eat anything that won’t run from me.  (Maybe I just need a pair of these Waffle Sneakers from BBC.)  But I must admit that how food is presented, it’s arrangement, if you will, makes a huge difference.  I love petite little bites that cause me guilt because I know that I am disturbing a masterpiece.  Speaking of masterpieces…

It will come as no surprise that this Call for Entries from Vermont Photo Space Gallery called The Arrangement conjures of the exquisite fusion of food and art…the art of presentation.  Yes, I am that obsessed with food.  But I know you will dig deeper for your own “Arrangement”…don’t forget Vermont Photo Space offers free framing & matting on accepted entries!

CALL FOR ENTRIES: The Arrangement 

The tradition of still-life as subject matter has roots deep into the history of art, pre-dating photography as a medium by centuries. 

Image by Ken Signorello - Read the full Call for Entries!Fine artists in all mediums, photography included, benefited from the total control they had over the final piece; the art making began with their arrangements of the mostly inanimate objects they intended to represent.  As Vermont Photo Space Gallery owner Ken Signorello aptly points out, “…it is art squared, where one first creates a work of art and then another to preserve it.”

The history of still life in Photography is as old as the medium itself.  Henry Talbot himself produced the first photographic images using the inanimate objects of still life.  In its earliest days, utilizing still life as subject matter allowed for the lengthy exposures necessary for its initial technologies. 

Learn more about the Vermont Photo Space Gallery!In the early 1900s, studies in line and form of object contributed to popular abstractions.  In the 1950s, still-life concentrated on the kitsch, and re-emerged in the 90s after a few decades in obscurity, in perfect partnership with the new trendy super-saturated film stock.  Overall, the genre has been largely ignored, despite periodic bouts of influence – surprising, for a photographic practice with so much potential. 

What is still life today? 

Vermont Photo Space wants you to show them your arrangements, from advertising to record photography, the abstract to the obvious.  Whether you are an amateur or professional, you may have experienced your still-life photographs as some of your favorite images – Juror Paula Tognarelli wants to see them.

Image by Juror Paula TognarelliJUROR:  Paula Tognarelli is the Executive Director and Curator of the Griffin Museum of Photography. The Griffin Museum of Photography’s mission is to promote an appreciation of photographic art and a broader understanding of its visual, emotional and social impact.

Tognarelli holds a M.S. in Arts Administration from Boston University; is a graduate of the New England School of Photography (Applied Program) and is a current candidate for her Masters in Education at Lesley University as a visual arts teacher.

Paula describes her photography as her native language. “I’ve always been more visual than vocal. I could draw a picture much faster than I could articulate a story in words. Photography made dialogue that much easier for me.” 

Tognarelli is also a digital imaging specialist. She has done extensive postgraduate study in color management, color theory, digital photography and digital imaging processing. She has lectured on digital imaging throughout the United States and in Japan, representing Agfa and Polaroid Graphic Imaging. She has also been a speaker at the Seybold Conferences. She is a former member of the Xerox Technical Advisory Board.

This “gift of time” allows artists to work without distraction in an effort to break new ground and focus on individual goals. 

Learn more about the Roswell Artist Residency Program online!The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program serves as a contemporary counterpoint to the traditional arts of the Southwest, reinforces the Program’s interest in strengthening the vitality of art in New Mexico and has been a catalyst in broadening community understanding of contemporary art.

The printmaking facility is a small, fully operational studio – basically lithographic/etching in nature. 

Artists are housed in a complex of six houses and 10 studios located on forty acres of land. Each artist is provided with a house that can amply accommodate either a single person or a family. Rent, utilities (except telephone), repairs and maintenance costs are borne by the Program. Houses are furnished with major furniture items, appliances and utensils. (continued below)
