Another of the nine awards is designated for a California artist living outside of a main metropolitan area with funding provided by The James Irvine Foundation.

Brooklyn Metal Works (NY), Call for Jewelry and Object Entries: Siamese Connection

Posted on May 20, 2013 by sjsartidea

Brooklyn Metal Works (NY), Call for Jewelry and Object Entries: Siamese Connection

Deadline: June 30th, 2013

From their website: Brooklyn Metal Works is now accepting submissions for their summer 2013 juried jewelry and object exhibition.

The curatorial theme is based on a unique but odd fixture of NYC urban life – the “Siamese Connection.” This utilitarian component of city infrastructure can be seen at least once on every block. The ubiquity of this fire protection pipe fitting underscores its importance, though it is often overlooked as it dissolves into street level chaos. But upon closer inspection, and in thoughtful consideration, an interesting subject appears.

The idea of “Siamese Connection” can embody a collision of two elements, or an unexpected branching. Mirroring can suggest affinities, or a disruption in natural growth habits. Hybrids are the result of surprise couplings and combinations. Bridging elements can bring together two disparate ideas/materials, and they can facilitate jumps over a natural divide.

These are a few interpretations that are present in the theme “Siamese Connection.” We are looking for explorations in jewelry and objects that compliment these concepts in thorough and thoughtful ways. Work that develops a relationship between unexpected ideas, materials and aesthetic components is our main focus. Detailed and compelling crafting is desired. This call is open to all makers.

Entry fee.

For more detailed information, submission guidelines and link to entry: http://bkmetalworks.com/call-for-entries/siamese-connection/

About: Brooklyn Metal Works (BKMW) is a metal art studio that offers space to rent for the development of work in the metalsmithing field, as well as offering concept based classes and gallery space to promote artists, designers and makers.

The intention of this studio is to present a safe working and learning environment, complete with a wide inventory of tools and equipment. This collaborative setting is designed to foster exploration, encourage experimentation, and strengthen the knowledge base of all involved.

Brooklyn Metal Works aims to promote the field of metalsmithing and to further critical dialogue among those who practice, write and invest time and energy into the field.

Call for San Francisco Bay Area Applicants: LOOP Arts 4th Round Grant/Residency (CA)

Posted on May 20, 2013 by sjsartidea

Call for San Francisco Bay Area Applicants: LOOP Arts 4th Round Grant/Residency (CA)

4th Round Deadline: July 5th, 2013, 11:59pm PST

for residencies starting July 15th, 2013

The LOOP Arts Grant provides chosen artists with up to one month’s free access to a professional 44″ inkjet printer to make prints for a scheduled exhibition. You bring your files and paper and the rest is there for you to use.

Who Is Eligible?: San Francisco Bay Area^a Emerging and Established^b Artists who have a scheduled exhibition^c.

a.) SF Bay Area as defined by the counties: Alameda, San Francisco, Contra Costa, Marin, Solano, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Napa, and Sonoma. We provide access to the printing facilities, but not live-in quarters. Being driving distance is paramount. (Though we’re walking distance from The Paramount!)

b.) We are expecting artists ranging the entire spectrum (emerging to established) to apply for the LOOP Arts Grant. If your exhibitions are consistently selling out or a single sale from an exhibition is enough to put down on a home there are individuals who need this grant more than you. Please use your discretion. If you are a student this grant is NOT for you. You have the facilities.

c.) If you don’t have proof of a scheduled exhibition you will not be considered for the grant.Our goal is to serve those who have the most need and will get the biggest bang for their residency. Large final prints for exhibition are our biggest printing costs. Need to print ten 30″ x 40”s? That’s what we’re here for!

About the Grant: Grants will be awarded for between 1 week and 1 month. (If you have a smaller show to print for, and won’t need a full month, choosing a shorter residency will allow us to get more artists scheduled and in to print.) You will have 24 hour access to the studio during your residency. Though the grant is to make prints for a scheduled exhibition, you are welcome to print additional work, but you will be charged $2.50 per square foot to cover ink costs.

Jurors will review the portfolios and statements and rank their choices. LOOP Arts will then go down the list and fill time slots, using applicants’ preferences to create an optimal, full schedule. We announce the winners and open up the next round immediately with a new juror and a deadline two months later. Reapplications are accepted and encouraged. We keep our application fees low so that if you don’t get chosen you’ll be able to reapply.

Juror: Jessica Ingram, Professor and Interim Chair, California College of the Arts
