CALL FOR ENTRIES: San Francisco Area Photographers – No Entry Fee

Posted on July 17, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

BAY AREA CALL

Do you have any idea how hard it is to cleverly sneak in a food reference in every post? I really try to make a solid tie in, but it is harder than you might think. I am inspired by silly puns and great pictures and phenomenal food, but I am stumped today…so you’ll just have to forgive the cliche today.

I also try to cater my posts to the national and international variety; however, sometimes I can be swayed to post a regional call. I was swayed to post this Call for Entries, sponsored in part by the San Francisco Arts Commission, because I have a soft spot for photography and the region is pretty large and SFAC typically does a great job of stepping outside its own region to be a part of the national and international community. So, even if you’re not from the bay area, check out the the San Francisco Arts Commission’s other opportunities!

SFAC Gallery and PhotoAlliance

The San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery (SFAC Gallery) and PhotoAlliance invite you to submit images of your work to be considered for the exhibition Night/Light. The San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery’s Art at City Hall program began in 1996 with the goal of bringing artwork with a social conscience into the seat of government. Fourteen years later, Art at City Hall has matured into a premiere program for the exhibition of photography by local, national and international artists.

Their current exhibition can be viewed at:

THE EXHIBITION: Night/Light: Bay Area Photographers Take Aim After Dark

They are looking for technical proficiency, creative innovation, and a wide variety of subject matter.

THE LOCATION

The City Hall ground floor exhibition space can accommodate up to 100 photographs. The jury will choose between three and ten images from each selected artist. Please do not submit less than three images. There will be no stipend for selected artists.

Please be conscious of the fact that the exhibition space at City Hall is a multi-use area that acts as a busy intersection for City employees, tourists, children and arts patrons.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Photography

Posted on July 9, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I love portraiture. Portraiture is yummy…often decadent–like a bowl of exotic chocolate truffles.

Some of my favorite portraitists’ work span the gamut of possibilities from the soulful portraits by Paul Murray of mountain folk still living a life most people don’t dream still exists to the utterly surreal portraiture of Christian Rex Van Minnen to the slightly disturbed clowns of Jerry Portelli. My own work has often centered around “self as other.” Self-portraiture–whether literal or not–is a soul-searching, profound experience.

Here is a great call for self-portraiture called “Self Searching” brought to you by The Vermont Photography Workplace and PhotoPlace Gallery. You may remember a previous call for Photo Abstraction from PhotoPlace that we posted during Photography Week.

Here’s the call:

CALL FOR ENTRIES
Self Searching: The Art of Self-Portraiture

Within the photographic genre of self-portraiture, some of the most probing, surprising, and thoughtful images have been made in the history of the medium.

For Self-Searching, they seek self-portraits that go beyond surface appearance to comment on the hopes, dreams, fears, and identities of the individuals pictured.

Aline Smithson will choose forty photos for exhibition at PhotoPlace Gallery in Middlebury, Vermont.

She will select an addiitonal thirty-five images for inclusion in the “On-Line Gallery Annex.”

All seventy-five photographs will be reproduced in a full-color exhibiiton catalogue that will be available for purchase. They offer free matting and framing for accepted photographs that fit their pre-cut mat sizes for the duration of the exhibition.

***Juror:* *Aline Smithson***

After a career as a New York Fashion Editor and working along side the greats of fashion photography, Aline Smithson discovered the family Rolleiflex and never looked back.

Now represented by galleries across the country and published throughout the world, Aline continues to create her award-winning photography with humor, compassion, and a 50-year-old camera.

Her work has been featured in numerous publications including the PDN Photo Annual, Communication Arts Photo Annual, Eyemazing, Artworks, Shots, Pozytyw, and Silvershotz magazines. She has exhibited widely including solo shows at the Griffin Museum of Photography, the Oswald Gallery, and Wallspace Gallery in Seattle.

Aline has been the Gallery Editor for Light Leaks Magazine, writes and edits the blog, Lenscratch, and has been curating exhibitions for a number of galleries and on-line magazines.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Emerging Work

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.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Black and White

Installment 3:
Black and White Photography

I live in an area with a long-standing artisan crafts tradition, and I overhear a lot of conversation about how digital and “new-fangled” media will be the end of art as we know it. As you might imagine, as a Xerographist, I couldn’t disagree more. Artist Jerry Portelli and I even went so far as to create a series of square pieces in celebration of the pixel. So, I find this call from the MPLS Photo Center fascinating. Take a look…

Here is a great call for the photographer in us all…
Black & White Photgraphy Call for Entries from the MPLS Photo Center

“Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.” – Robert Frank

What does “black and white” mean to contemporary photographers in the digital age? When Robert Frank made this observation, black-and-white film and silver prints were photography’s most commonly used materials. Nearly a half century later they are approaching “alternative media” status. Or are they? Are the implications and meanings of black and white still central to photography’s unique nature as a visual medium?

Submissions to this juried exhibition are limited only by your imagination and your photographic eye. Portraits, fashion, editorial, landscapes, documentary, conceptual – all of these genres, and others not named, are open for consideration.

Prints should take whatever form they need to in order to represent the continuum of tones, including gray tone, warm tone, cool tone, sepia, or other monochromes that comprise your photographs. Whether the initial recording was made on film or pixels is immaterial. However, in the final assessment, prints will be judged on their merits. Qualities of form, content, and relation to traditions of black-and-white printing and visualization will be sought in the pool of submissions.

About the Juror: As the founder, principal, and sole employee of re:photographica, George Slade has delved into matters related to the photographic arts for nearly thirty years. Although he started these inquiries as a photographer, his work over the past twenty years has been focused on curating, consulting, and commenting on others’ images. He was the artistic director of Minnesota Center for Photography (2003-2008) and the director of the McKnight Foundation Artist Fellowships for Photographers Program (1998-2008). His writings have been published widely; he received a 2007 award from the Creative Capital/Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers grant program. Web sites like Flickr and Facebook, and digital imaging in general, are drawing him back into the making side of photography. On Quodlibetica, his photographs accompany Kristin Makholm’s “Five Memos on a New Museum.”

Juror: George Slade, Principal at re:photographica
Entry Fee: $35 up to 5 images; $10 each additional (no limit on number that may be submitted)
Prizes: $300 for 1st; $200 for 2nd; $100 for 3rd
Entries Due: July 23, 2010
