AND NOW I WAIT…

I just finished submitting 5 entries to the Persona exhibit.  Have you entered yet?

I am a big fan of the Darkroom Gallery‘s curatorial themes, and I couldn’t resist a wacky portrait show. However, I have entered with my eyes wide open.  I am not a photographer…I take photographs.  There IS a difference.  We’ll see how I do.  The last show I entered at Darkroom ended in rejection, but I am trying again.

One of my 5 submissions is Pieces of Me: Charmed.  This piece is close to my heart, no pun intended, and I have never submitted it before now.

Wish me luck!

Of all the shows across the country that I have been a small part of over the years, I have received more feedback from the Arts in the Airport series than any other.  Note: Some people ponder a masters degree online when they want to take advanced art courses. Whether you were part of this exhibit or want to someday be a part of another exhibit, extra knowledge is helpful.

I was an exhibiting artist in the Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 shows, and I regularly heard from fans of my work that they saw my pieces while traveling through Knoxville. 

Such a treat it has been. 

I am going to work on an entry for this next call.  To all of my fellow TN artists… take a minute to enter.  There is no entry fee and the exposure is great.

2nd Time’s a Charm!

 Some of the most popular culinary creations in my house come from leftovers. We frequently put a whole chicken in the crock pot on Sundays, and on Mondays we usually have “Chicken Something.” Just because you’ve tried something once doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give it another try. This next post has had three lives on AAAD.

First, I published the orignal I am Solitary Call for Entries, then I published the follow up show Call for Entries at the Gift Gallery. Now I’m giving it one more stir in the Crock Pot because they have extended the deadline for another week. So, check out this Call for Entries for I Am Solitary – London that is a counterpart to the original.

Join me…I entered today!

Call for Submissions:
I Am Solitary – London

Beers.Lambert Contemporary Art is proud to curate an exhibition for Gift Gallery, at its extraordinary location on London’s primary gallery row, Vyner Street.

I Am Solitary – London, is a counterpart and extension of the related Beers Lambert exhibition that took place in Nottingham, in September of 2010.

This collaboration with Gift Gallery seeks progressive contemporary art that responds to questions of identity and individuality.

The exhibition aims to highlight ideas and articulations relating to a conceptual and aesthetic understanding of individuality, isolation, and identity in a world typified by conflict, disillusionment, and change.

The work submitted should critically & aesthetically challenge the reception of these themes & truly push the direction of contemporary art.*

*For those of my readers that like to skim the posts, please note that I put this sentence in bold…green…AND centered it for you…hint, hint.

NEW EXTENDED Submission Deadline:
Monday, November 22, 2010

Eligibility & Media: Artists at all career stages, from all parts of the world, working in all mediums and practices are encouraged to submit.

Vyner street haslong been the benchmark of excellence in London’s contemporary art sphere; prominently located at 10 Vyner, Gift gallery continues this tradiiton of featuring emergent and progressive contemporary art.

Beers Lambert is proud to work with Gift to present I Am Solitary – London.

ART
PUBLICATION
RESULTS

At ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, I spend a lot of time preaching about the benefits of Art Publication and why you should enter art shows.  So, it only seems fitting that I publish my occasional results that address both.

In June, ArtAndArtDeadlines.com posted a blog about The Flaneur, an Independent Art & Culture Newspaper.  I followed my own advice and submitted one of my favorite pieces called Pieces of Me: Fat.  Below is the front page of the latest edition of The Flaneur along with the page on which my piece appears.  Click the image below to go to The Flaneur!

Just a short note to let you know you can see Pieces of Me: Fat (pictured left) in the Metropolitan Knoxville Airport.  514 entries from 120 artists were received, and 41 pieces were selected for the show.  To see all the pieces in the show, view the visit the Arts & Culture Alliance .

The Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority (McGhee Tyson Airport) and the Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville are pleased to present “Arts in the Airport”, a new exhibition featuring selected artwork. “Arts in the Airport” was developed to allow regional artists to compete and display work in the most visited site in the area.

The selected art features contemporary 2-dimensional artwork and will be exhibited in the secured area behind McGhee Tyson Airport’s security gate checkpoint from November 5, 2009 – April 22, 2010.
