CALL for ENTRIES: Drawing 2018

Posted on July 28, 2018July 26, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

the EGGY truth

Sometimes you just need a win. In the kitchen, my win is usually an egg dish. I think of them as the basics — hard boiled, frittata, omelette, quiche. The skills used to make those four egg dishes include many of the fundamentals for cooking well. Drawing is a fundamental that helps support every other media pursuit for me from painting to photography, even fiber arts. This next Call wants to see YOUR drawing. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: WAO Photography Award

Posted on July 3, 2018July 3, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

what GUAC?

I have broken my addiction to photographing my food in public. I’ve eaten more that a few meals that were cooler than necessary for the sake a pretty shot. Embarassing? Yes. But why I have never snapped pics of my food from home is a puzzle. I never think about it until my meal is over. My chicken fajitas & guac were beautiful yesterday, but you’ll have to take my word for it. This next Call won’t take you work for it, you’re gonna have to produce the photographs. Take a look…

so close I can TASTE IT

Every year as December approaches, I get excited about the bounty of in-season clementines just around the corner. And in all my excitement, I completely forget about the pomegranates. It is almost a gift because I can’t miss what I don’t remember. This next Call is excited about all things red, including pomegranates, but you won’t want to forget this one. Take a look…

ELIGIBILITY: All artists age 18+ (int’l)

MEDIA: Open to still media, including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, digital art, printmaking, fiber art, collage, etc.

THEME: Red “Colors often symbolize a variety of emotions, an artist’s truth, perhaps wild fantasies—from war, power, heat, love, sexuality, anger, and joy to ‘soft’ idealisms—these are but a few examples. Red, in particular here, can be used to draw the viewer closer emotionally in a way which enhances their reaction to the art. It may define intuitively an intended focal point that carries the viewer more deeply into the artist’s message.” –art-competition.net

ENTRY FEE: $25 for up to 3, $5 ea. add’l

OPEN CALL: Greenshields Grant

Posted on August 3, 2017August 4, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

the deepest CUT

If you want to learn to cook well, I recommend starting with knives. Every dish is made more difficult with a dull knife. I had a brief affair with being a chef that put me in cooking school for a year. The first thing I had to buy was a full set of very expensive knives. (My mother had mine monogrammed. No kidding. SO embarrassing.) Fear not, you can start with just a couple of not-so-expensive knives. Everyone starts somewhere. This next Call is looking to help artists just making their start. Need funding?

Check out this Open Call from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation (Quebec, Canada) for Artist Grants. No entry fee & a ongoing deadline makes this grant the perfect opportunity for students & beginning artists. Take a look…

I’m up to my eyeballs in tomatoes. I’m not a morning person, so I don’t always get to the farmers market early.

This next Call boasts a locally-grown & produced meal as the bonus to possible project funding. Take a look…

a personal END

A grocery budget surplus comes around rarely in my house, but alas, it magically appeared this week. I was tempted to be practical and buy a back-stock of staple items. But at the last minute, I came across tamarind pods and decided to splurge. I’ve always wanted to make my own tamarind paste just to know if would be better than what I could buy. It isn’t, but I can now say I’ve done it, ha. The next Call could put a surplus in your art budget or at least help you meet your budget. Take a look…

sweet TATERS

I am mourning the upcoming loss of eggplant which goes out of season locally very soon. But with the end of one season, come the beginning of another. My beloved sweet potatoes are at their sweetest, and the upcoming frost in late October or early November will make them perfection. I cannot wait. Try it. Buy a sweet potato now, then wait until December or January and try them again. The difference is astonishing. This next Call is like the sweet potato, anxiously anticipated and finishes sweet. Take a look…

CUKES

Cucumber frequently replaces crackers & bread in our house due to a family-wide wheat allergy. I love the crisp texture coupled with the ridiculously low price. If you have ever grown your own, you know that they fruit prodigiously, so they cost precious little. But I have recently volunteered to pay more for my cucumbers. No, I didn’t go organic; I went English. I can’t go back. English cucumbers aren’t usually waxed because plastic wrapping helps contain the moisture, and they are less bitter due to the smaller seeds. But the true benefit for me is that they seem to spoil at such a slow rate that I never have to throw anything away. The benefit outweighs the cost. The return on this next opportunity is worth every penny too. Take a look…

ROOTS

I am grateful for the apples, but I am missing fresh local veggies already. My local orchard serves as my farmers market most weeks. With their cold storage program, I can get local apples for most of the year, but the veggies they offer are limited as of November. Aside from winter squash, the only thing LOCALLY fresh I’ll have until spring are potatoes, onions and maybe a hot house bell pepper or two. My normal $25 farmers market budget will be too much for a change. This Call is a great use for the extra $. Take a look…

EATS

My grocery bill is absurd. I’m not having dinners of foie gras & truffles. In fact, most of our meals are vegetable laden. I try to stop by the farmers market at my local apple orchard. This week, it was $25 for apples, onions, 4 sweet potatoes, 3 bell peppers & 2 eggplant. As you might imagine, I then proceeded to spend a fortune at the grocery store to supplement my farmers market finds. I have a family of only three people + my four-legged child. I buy in-season, cost-conscious items. I consider myself a master food shopper, and I can barely hang on to a healthy menu. How are people without access to locally-grown produce options supposed to avoid eating processed food? The economics of hunger are devastating. This next Call is an excellent use of YOUR $25.
