The Story

The self-portrait has been a powerful and studied medium since we first saw our reflection. From Vincent van Gogh to Diane Arbus, the self has been the subject of most all the art worldʼs greats. The self-portrait transcends medium, style and period, existing in the vast space between fantasy and reality. Photography, painting, sculpture, multi- media and all other forms of art have been employed to create stunning works that are both personal and prophetic.

This competition is about your story, your image and the power you hold. This is your chance to share yourself on a grand scale for a grand prize. This is the Power of Self.

By entering this competition, you will be submitting your story and images to the world, getting feedback, recognition and the chance at life changing awards.

The Power of Self is a yearly competition hosted by Artists Wanted. Our last Grand Prize Award winner was Cheng-Chang Wu of Nan-Tou, Taiwan.

CaFE Online Form

Call for Entry

Shift

I figure with my mental condition, this would be a good place for me to submit my work. Since my work hinges on my mental state and my disability.

Every life contains moments of change. Shift seeks to investigate those moments that alter the direction of a person’s path and create a new reality.

Artists are invited to share a moment in time when a shift in their landscape occurred—it may be personal or professional, mental or physical, internal or external. Artists may submit a single work or a pair or series of works that illustrate this before-and-after transformation.

All artists are asked to consider the theme Shift as it relates to their submission, although a relationship to the theme does not have to be explicit or obvious in the work itself. However, the moment of change and its connection to the submitted work should be described in the application materials.

To apply I need to fill out the CaFE online form.

Call for Art: Arts for Arthritis Gala

I think this is a good cause. Plus it will add to my resume and get more attention for my artwork. I'm thinking of submitting two pieces.

The Arthritis Foundation, Mid Atlantic Region (MD) is issuing a call for donations for its Arts for Arthritis Gala, March 19, 2011.

Art can be put up for auction as a full donation, or 50/50 split. Artists set the value of their piece and the minimum bid.

Art work can be dropped off anytime after the 7th of March: 4720 Montgomery Lane, Suite 300, Bethesda, MD 20814.

See attached for further information.

I found an old site that has some samples of previous submissions, here and here.
