PEPPERS
only smaller

My whole house smells like peppers & basil at the moment.  A recent Saturday trip to the farmers market ended with a huge surplus of these staples, but to prevent loss, I am dehydrated both.  Then I will grind, chop or crumble most of these into a smaller form for storage and use this winter.  This next Call could be an outlet for new work, but it could be an excellent way to compact and move out studies or older work.  I encourage you to contemplate cutting down your work.  Yes, I DID say, “cutting down your work”…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Fort Worth Community Arts Center (Fort Worth, TX) for 9×12 Works on Paper. This could be a great way to do a  little studio cleaning & resume building at the same time.  Take a look…

More than one work may be mailed in each envelope. Acceptable media includes photography, drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, mixed media, cast or folded paperworks, artist books or digital prints.  *A few brave souls out there might consider cutting larger work down to create more abstract work.

SALES:  All artwork will be for sale for $100 US and FWCAC retains a 25% commission. Unsold works sent with an appropriate size self-addressed STAMPED envelope (SASE) will be returned.
