TRUTH

Iowa = Corn.  I have no doubt Iowans are justifiably proud of their corn.  But, I could not BELIEVE they reintroduced my favorite food with a twist –Caprese Salad on a Stick.  The Iowa State Fair debuted this genius idea in 2014.  How did I miss this one?  I ended up using it at my own art opening less than a month later.  This next Call is another reasons Iowans should be proud.  Investigate this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Chait Galleries Downtown (Iowa City, IA) for Benjamin’s Buttons–Faces of Intensity.  I love this theme, and the gallery space is truly gorgeous.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Benjamin’s Buttons

 

How do you judge intensity? What experience can you portray through portraiture that captures the spirit and invites viewers to share emotion and understanding? What do you envision when someone’s buttons are pushed to or beyond their limits?
