CALL for SUBMISSIONS: 2019 Annmarie AiR

Learn more about the 2019 Summer Residency from Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center!

for the love of DAIRY

I did NOT eat haggis in Scotland while in residency.  No one offered it to me.  It wasn’t on any menu that I saw.  No one suggested that I should make or order it –except every person I know in the United States, ha. I did, however, give in to hot tea, drink liter after liter of unhomoginized, “gently pasteurized” local milk and ate a shameful number of all-butter Scottish shortbread biscuits.  I ate boatloads of Dutch gouda and an embarrassing amount of brie from the local cheese shop.  And the spinach quiche and sun-dried tomato bread from the local bakery was sinful.  You do Scotland your way, I did it mine.  The biggest news is how I approached my work differently…

I went to another continent, worked 80+ hours a week and came home with three small pieces of completed work.  I spent 8 solid hours of work on an area the size of a silver dollar.   I could NEVER do that at my home studio uninterrupted.  I spent thirty hours over 3 days working & re-working a 2″ x 4″ section of stitching. I could NEVER do that at my home studio without massive frustration.  Residency is the hardest thing to do.  It is undistracted, unobstructed time to experiment and succeed and fail without excuse (that’s the hard part).  Residency time is priceless.  THIS residency is a working residency that requires working with the public on a project.  If it lights you up, if you can envision the project and can’t wait to get started, please don’t miss this chance.  Don’t let doubt or all the things you think you need to be get in the way.  Just submit the project.  Don’t worry about what happens if they say “yes” or if they say “no”.  Take the chance because it could change the course of how you work and of how you approach your work forever.  

Check out this Call for Submissions from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for 2019 Summer Residency. There is no entry fee, plus there is a stipend, project funding, housing and more.  This is one of those rare opportunities.  Please investigate to see if it is the right fit for you…

“The summer residency program provides a serene place on the Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay for visual, musical, and literary artists to design and produce a community arts project. Most artists run their project through Annmarie’s creative reuse center, called the artLAB, where artists are encouraged to incorporate recycled or repurposed materials into their project. Residencies are meant to focus on community arts projects; those that merge arts and the environment are particularly desirable. ” –from annmariegarden.org

COOKING by the book

Why do we never hear about cooking therapy?  Art therapy is an accepted practice, but I’m not sure it is about art.  It is about process.  I think that any practice about which you’re passionate that requires repetition holds the opportunity to offer a meditative or therapeutic value.  So break out your cookbooks and try a recipe outside your skill level.  The next Call offers you time to hone your art practice.  Take a look…

Learn more from Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts!OLIVES & more

I tend not to buy in bulk, despite the benefits, because I live in a very small apartment.  But, I am guilty of buy multiples.  There are too many varieties of olives, specifically, for me to resist.  I’ve gotten so carried away that part of my decision of what to buy is based on whether the jar is tall & skinny or short & fat.  Ridiculous.  The sponsors of this Call love artists so much, they invite them 10 at a time.  You could be one of the ten…

CALL for ENTRIES: Courage Kenny Cards 2018

screaming GREENS

As we approach the New Year, I keep having flashbacks to a screaming pressure cooker preparing collard greens each New Year’s Day. The sounds & smells have been spurred on because of my new electric pressure cooker, a gift from my mother for Christmas. Yes, I know that I normally shy away from large, trendy gadgets, but I just couldn’t resist.  This one does more & replaces other small appliances, so I’m giving it a whirl.  I’ve had two successful attempts in a row — Swiss steak then pork chops with apples.  Maybe collard greens next.  This next Call wants your reflections on the holidays.  You likely have work for this one…

foraged FOOD

Most people think of Spring as the prime food foraging season with flowers in full bloom & greens at their most tender.  But don’t dismiss Fall.  Mushrooms abound as well as a number of nuts and berries.  For all those caffeine addicts, some holly leaves have more caffeine by weight than coffee beans, just don’t eat the berries, please.  This next Call comes from a place home to one of North America’s largest collections of holly species & a large Edible Gardens.  Take a look…
