NYC4PA PRIMARY COLORS 2018
PRIMARY COLORS:
A small box of Crayola crayons, an American child's first art related possession, contained eight glorious wax colors. Three of them RED, YELLOW, and BLUE gave these kids the ability to create all the colors of the rainbow. In addition, however. so many first art projects focused on these crayons as they were packaged - strong primary color artistic elements.
This call is about images in which one of these colors stands out as a critical element of your photographic composition. You will determine which of the three colors RED, YELLOW or BLUE represents each image you submit. They can be black and white photographs with a single point of color, red, yellow or blue monochromes, or any image where red, yellow or blue stands out as a focal part of the photograph. Is the blue sky the most important part of your image, a red umbrella or maybe a big yellow flower? Have you modified a print to be all shades of red? This is a theme to have fun with.

Light
It’s all about the light! Light and shadow have been the foundation of photography since the beginning. While illumination is important, darkness is an equally compelling component and, together, the elements of a successful photograph. Show us your best light!
The SE Center is looking for all forms of imagery, black-and-white, color, or toned photography- all subjects, analog, digital or antique processes, photographers of all skill levels and locations are welcome.
Our juror for Light is Richard McCabe. Richard McCabe was born in Mildenhall, England and grew up in the American South. He received an MFA in Studio Art from Florida State University in 1998. That same year he received a fellowship to the American Photography Institute, National Graduate Seminar at New York University. Over the last 18 years, he has lived and worked in New York City and New Orleans, Louisiana. His art has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums throughout the United States. Mr. McCabe works primarily in photography, painting, and installation art. In December 2014, McCabe had a solo exhibition – Once Around the Sun – Instant Photographs by Richard McCabe, at Boyd Satellite Gallery, New Orleans. Currently, Mr. McCabe is the Curator of Photography at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, Louisiana.
35-40 Selected images will hang in the SE Center’s main gallery space for approximately one month with the opportunity to be invited for a solo show at a later date.
Wide Open 10
WIDE OPEN 10: The broad theme of “Wide Open 10” encompasses all the possibilities of knowledge and freedom and love ‐ wide open spaces…arms wide open…eyes wide open ‐ but as with all things, there is the inevitable opposite ‐ wide open to attack…corruption…failure. What kind of fantasy is this? What does it really indicate? This juried show looks to explore the idea of “wide open” in all the hidden niches of our collective psyche.
Our juror is Ylinka Barotto, Assistant Curator at the Guggenheim Museum.
Ours is a truly unique gallery – a massive Civil War‐era warehouse on the Red Hook waterfront in Brooklyn, NY. Its enormous space affords us the opportunity to exhibit large work, and we welcome it. BWAC’s curators for Wide Open 10, Kenneth Jackson and Isabella Glaz will be using 8,000 square feet for this show, and look forward to exhibiting artist’s work from all around the country, work in all sizes, and subjects, and media.
Submission Deadline: Early Bird February 4th or Application Deadline February 24, 2019.
Gallery Exhibition Dates: Saturday May 11 – Sunday July 7, 2019, weekends 1‐6 P.M.
Recycle 2019
Recycle 2019, the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition’s national juried show of art crafted from cast‐off, discarded, and re‐ purposed materials, will be a celebration of ingenuity and imagination. We are seeking to exhibit sophisticated two‐ and three‐ dimensional art created in the re‐use genre.
To help us in this quest, we are once again greatly honored to have our juror, from Materials for the Arts the Director of Education, John Cloud Kaiser. BWAC’s curators for Recycle 2019 are Mary Anne Kinsella and Janice Jacob.
Recycle 2109: BWAC is seeking original artwork from artists working in repurposed materials. Entries must incorporate at least 50 percent of repurposed, recycled, or reused materials. The theme is open to any medium resulting in2‐Dimensional or 3‐Dimensional work.
As well as looking for skill in the use of material, we want to see art that demonstrates the importance of conserving our limited natural resources. We look for how well the medium relates to the upcycling movement and how fully the artist’s intention or concept is presented and realized. The juror’s awards will reflect that artistic judgment.
$3000 in Cash Awards: Presented on opening day, May 11, 2019.
Submission Deadline: Early Bird February 4 or Final Application Deadline February 24, 2019.
Gallery Exhibition Dates: Saturday, May 11 – Sunday, July 7, 2019; weekends 1‐6 P.M.
Environmental Installation 2019
Newly established in 2017, this program is an effort to bring art out of the studio and make it both visible and accessible to the public.
We encourage the creation of site-specific installations that engage the public and draw attention to questions and challenges posed by environmental policies, politics, and/or social change.
Through our partnerships with local non-profits and community programs, artists are asked to respond creatively to the concerns of the greater Gloucester/Cape Ann Community.
Applications will be juried each spring by our committee. One gifted artist will be awarded a month-long residency term which includes a waterfront live-work studio space and access to a rich cultural community.
Residents chosen are requested to host an opening and closing talk to engage with our community.
We accept applications through February 10, 2019.
Information on this year’s Environmental Installation Artist’s topic and our partner, Ocean Alliance www.whale.org:
The Committee places exceptional value on the year-round work performed by the Alliance. Their continuing efforts to protect existing whale populations while educating the public about the fragility of our oceans resonates with the entire world.
As stated on their website;
Ocean Alliance strives to increase public awareness of the importance of whale and ocean health through research and public education. We work with our scientific partners to collect a broad spectrum of data on whales and ocean life. Ocean Alliance uses this data to advise educators, policy makers, and the general public on wise stewardship of the oceans to mitigate pollution, prevent the collapse of marine mammal populations, and promote ocean and human health. Ocean Alliance, Inc., a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit Organization, and was founded in 1971.
The installation site measures 30×40’ and sits on the Gloucester waterfront exposed to strong winds and the elements in the gravel parking lot of the Ocean Alliance facility.
Highly visible to passing fishing ships, sailing and recreational boats, the site also provides free public access for tourists and visitors on foot or by car.
The artist will be given open access to the site.

NYC4PA MOMENTUM
Though a photograph is a snapshot in time the world around us is in constant motion. This call is not about "still life", "landscape", or "posed portrait" images. It is about how you capture the idea of motion/momentum in a single frame; photographs that clearly send a message to the viewer that the the subject or the camera/lens is clearly moving. Is the position of the subject the indication - a wave arched to crash, a baseball player sliding into first, or a ballerina in mid air? Or is it the subject or background blurred?
Examples are everywhere - the silky vision of water over a waterfall taken at a slow shutter speed, water droplets frozen in time, birds in mid flight, trees bent in blowing wind, ripples of tide at the beach, fireworks. Sports, transportation and animals each afford a huge number of possibilities and of course there are endless ways camera and zoom action can draw the viewers eye.

Interpretation - 2019 - Open Online Exhibit
Cape Cod Art Center seeks entries for their "Interpretation" Photography Online Exhibition.
All artists and photographers of any level are invited to submit to this open juried online exhibit. Any media is allowed. The goal is to interpret the following quote:
The Beauty of Nature
The falling of snowflakes coming down
Making a blanket of white on the ground.
Autumn with red and gold-leaves,
Falling to the ground, in a cool breeze.
The rising of the sun of crimson,
A buzzing of the Bees,
As they go on their mission.
A cool-breeze blowing in the trees.
The beautiful- flowers of red, yellow, and blue.
The sparkling of grass, with morning-dew.
The sea is beautiful, with Blue-sky above.
The flying of sea-gulls and of doves.
The birds singing up in the trees,
As a gentle-wind blows the green-leaves.
Beautiful-butterflies going their way.
The beauty of nature, really make my day!
By Winifred Bullard
