Dinner - Call for Entry

Contests, Juried Art Shows - Oil, Art Gallery

Dinner or supper? What a dilemma. I have called the evening meal "dinner" for as long as I can remember and "supper" just dropped from my vocabulary. My mother reminded me of the use of "dinner" when my uncle invited us over to partake. In my head, we were going a 6PM. Well no, he meant noon. Dinner for him was lunch for me and supper for him was dinner for me. Whatever! It all boils down to one thing. Food. And hopefully the company of good friends and loved ones.The juror for "Dinner" will be Barbra Riley. Barbra has been developing curriculum and teaching classes in photography, design, book arts and watercolor painting at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi for over 3 decades as well as curating exhibitions and conducting workshops.

Shadows: Darkness and Light

Contests, Juried Art Shows - Oil, Art Gallery

Photography is the recording of patterns of darkness and light. Shadows enhance the relationships of subjects in an image, they give definition and dimension, which compliments the quality of the light values. Photographers have used dramatic shadows and patterns in black and white images and have also explored using ethereal and moody shadows and textures in color photography. We will be looking for a range of how shadow and light are interpreted by contemporary photographers.

ROAD: Juried by W.M. Hunt

Contests, Juried Art Shows - Oil, Art Gallery

“ROAD” a photo competition and exhibition to be judged and curated by W.M. Hunt, a well-known collector, curator and consultant based in New York City. “ROAD” is meant to include a wide range of photographs from landscape to portraiture, anything that suggests a journey. This is an open call for entries of photo-based works made by artists who feel their work reflects the theme in some way. Mr. Hunt is looking for fresh, fully considered hotographs. The resulting exhibition is intended to include at least 30 artists. Mr. Hunt feels that the history of photography is full of “road” pictures and that they take many forms. The road can be personal: a psychological or spiritual passage. Or it can be literal. The range is from transcendence to travel. It can take place in your head or in your backyard or in your car. Dorothea Lange’s “The Road West, New Mexico”, 1938, and Robert Frank’s “US 285 New Mexico”, 1955-58, are classic black and white examples of the wide open, empty road. Not to leave people out of this, the earliest photograph of a person is “Boulevard du Temple” taken by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre in 1838 in Paris. As important as its showing a street is the 10 minutes – the length of time - it took to make the exposure. Time can be “the road”. Hunt is looking for imaginative responses to the theme. He is the author of “The Unseen Eye: Photographs from the Unconscious” published last fall by Aperture. In keeping with the gallery’s mission “to exhibit artists who are worthy of appreciation, to show images which will inspire and excite”, he is looking for work that will excite and inspire him.

Online Event - Contests, Juried Art Shows - Acrylic, Ceramics, Crafts, Digital Media, Glass, Mosaic, Illustration, Jewelry, Mixed media, Metalsmithing, Sculpture, Watercolor, Oil, Pastel, Photography, Poetry, Video/Film Art Gallery

Eco Arts Awards is an annual thematic arts competition that features six creative categories: Fine Art, Photography, Literature, Repurposed Materials in Art & Design, Short Videos, and Songwriting! The theme is ecology, as we seek to promote its meaning, knowing that artist's are a key factor in lifting our awareness above any political or scientific debate. We have expert jurors in each category that will select the top three winners; First, Second, and Third place. Our juror's score on the basis of criteria specific to each medium, but know that thematic content carries a heavier weight in the overall score. This is our second year, and we have made some changes, not the least of which is doubling the amount of cash we are offering to three winners in six creative categories! The other change we are making is rather than announcing ten finalists we will be announcing our "Top Fifty" in each category, as we want to honor more artist's for their creativity and promote the theme of ecology from as many different perspectives as is possible. We will announce all winners on January 31st, 2013 via our newsletter, so be sure to sign up for it on our home page! Its also a good idea to "like us" on facebook for more current news and interesting info pertaining to the art of ecology. Now go hug a tree and express yourself!
