CALL for ENTRIES: Saturated

Learn more about the Saturated An Eye for Color exhibit from the Barrett Art Center! oh, KALE no!

Somebody help me love kale.  I want to love love kale (in some other manner than deep fried kale chips, ha)., but I just don’t.  If I’m gonna eat a leafy green, I’m gonna choose spinach every time.  Give me arugula or chard.  Meanwhile, organic kale was 99¢ a pound this week.  It is a gorgeous color though.  I’ve been toying with making my own watercolors.  Maybe THAT is how I learn to love kale.

For years I worked in black and white, and I loved the big, bold graphic nature of that work.  But, color.  Color has turned my work around.  I fell so in love with color that I changed media after TWENTY years.  Like any grade schooler, I get that yellow + blue = green.  But, when you find the right gambogue hue & add just a touch of thalo blue, you get to watch them bloom into a gorgeous shade of peacock.  This newly found watercolor magic gives power & voice to what I tried to represent literally with typography and b&w symbolism for all those years.

I’ve tried to be more transparent over the past weeks about my own “which” & “why” & “what” questions because I am hoping my answers will help you formulate your own questions and discover your own answers.  The Barrett Arts Center is a “yes” for me.  Beautiful venue, great jurors, superb curatorial history, excellent resume builder.  I have been working on a piece for months that would be the perfect piece to enter.  If I can just keep myself on track to finish, I am entering this one.  Do you have color you want to strut out like a proud peacock?  Then THIS is a great call.

Check out this Call for Entries from Barrett Art Center (Poughkeepsie, NY) for Saturated: An Eye for Color.   $45 entry fee & 30% commission. Plus, this juror has a well-documented history.  Take a look…

COLD complication

As winter approaches, I am more & more distracted.  I buy a handful of pantry items for single recipes.  For example, I use canned cream-style corn in one indulgent corn pudding recipe and buttermilk only in cornbread.  But, the problem arises because they look like similar items in the cupboard –anything canned or my regular milk.  You only have to put buttermilk on one bowl of cereal to not want to make that mistake again.  My solution? Organization. A simple letter or two scrawled on the container top has stopped me from wasting time and food over and over again. 

In the studio, I am always walking the line between organized and over-planned.  My instincts run toward scheduling, pre-planning, color-coding and efficiency.  But, I also know that when I over plan, I have guilt when I stray from my original design that sometime keeps me on a path (that often isn’t really working) longer than I should.  But if I don’t schedule at all, I end up procrastinating, the stereotypical downfall of beret-wearing artists in movies everywhere.  This next Call is a perfect example.  I love this publication.  It is gorgeous.  The art is phenomenal. Even their Insta feed is fun and inspiring.  I keep thinking that the right work to submit will speak to me.  As a result, here we are a year or two later, I’ve managed not to enter yet.  So, let’s make a plan, be organized; enter early…

real SMOOTH

I have pureed everything today.  I made black bean soufflé early in the day to go with the slaw-topped taco my husband made later.  I cooked & pureed extra beans to put up in the freezer as a soup base for next week.  Lunch was delivery pizza.  Our mid-afternoon snack was  a mango-peach-guava-banana smoothie.  While my husband made apple-pepper slaw for our tacos, I processed a half-bushel of apples for applesauce.  I have washed my food processor four times today. (Just a reminder, no dishwasher in my house.) I am trying to keep busy

I mean, I did finish framing a commission while I am waiting for THREE past-due notifications. I need mindless busy. How do venues take our money and not notify on time? Why not just under-promise? Why not five themselves and extra week then surprise us all with an early notification? Of course, my imagination and insecurities ramp up to a 14 & I begin to assume that I haven’t gotten an email because I have been rejected, or,  that I was so bad that I didn’t warrant a response. When left with too much time to dwell on it, I start to become paranoid like an 1990s sitcom and wonder if my phone is working or if email is out-of-order. Ridiculous. So, soufflé, soup, smoothie & applesauce.  Noisy. Delicious. Busy. 

This next Call is screaming my name.  I’ve not been interested in a lot of galleries lately because I am looking to build a very specific profile for my resume.  I am trying to patiently wait for the academic & publicly funded shows I really want.  But I am digging this space.  There are a number of great art hot spots in New Mexico, like Satan Fe.  In fact, New Mexico is on my new short list of relocation possibilities.  This gallery supports a reassuringly diverse art aesthetic and range of media.  I like the unapologetic nature of this Call too.  I’m hoping to get my crap together & enter.  Let me know how it sounds to YOU.

Check out this Call for Entries from Keep Contemporary (Santa Fe, NM) for New Contemporary.  This is a great looking venue that also includes “….artists who have a limited voice in an otherwise conservative art market”.   I want to show here; how about you?

CRAVING connections

We had three days of Spring-like weather, but Monday was 15° colder than Sunday.  Tuesday is predicted to be 21° colder than Monday was. So that means SOUP, predictable, I know.  While prepping lunch today I was day dreaming about making my favorite Tom Ka Gai when my eyes scanned a row of go-to cookbooks I keep above my stove.  What did I find?  The Soupmaker’s Kitchen (not an affiliate link, BTW) by Aliza Green.  I don’t know how it ended up in my house, much less on the shelf with my favorites.  No one in my house remembers buying it or ever seeing it.  Bizarre, no?  It contains great advice on stock-making and other best kitchen practices along with some fantastic recipes, and Steve Legato’s photography makes everything look luscious.  I cannot wait to make the Hungarian Woodlands Mushroom soup & the Senegalese Peanut and Yam Puree with Ginger.  Yum.

While eating lunch, I happened to read this next Call from Annmarie Arts Center.  I’ve written about them many times over the years because I am SUCH a fan of this venue.  I applied today.  This is a “living studio” experience.  They split the gallery into 12’x12′ studio spaces for artists for 5 to 14 days, and you work in an open environment with other artists & gallery visitors.  They encourage sales, and the commission rate is super low.  This is a sort of make your own residency for out of town folks, and more like an production art show for locals.  There is some housing available for out-of-towners.  I want to use the two weeks to test out some new content and techniques before I head off to Scotland for a month.  I hope I make the cut.  If you have time & the interest, we may get an opportunity to hang out for a couple of weeks & work together. So exciting.  Fingers crossed –for you AND for me.

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Artists in Action. $20 entry & 20% commission.  What would you do with two weeks of nearly uninterrupted creative time? The deadline is just a day or two away.  Here’s your chance…

chuh-chuh-chuh-CHIA

I’ve often spoken of my emotional eating & closeted love for junk food.  I occasionally comfort myself with the notion of artisinal junk food like lovingly, hand-made beautiful doughnuts.  But, truth be known, I have an ugly Totino’s habit.  I admitted here in writing once about 5 years ago, but as I push spinach salads and chia seed smoothies like a health food pimp, I like to believe that no one holds me accountable for my addiction to frozen pizza.  (You can find the complete ingredient list here, OMG, assuming I can convince you I only eat the cheese variety. *lying*)  I have faith in my better instincts, but I admittedly have worse ones too.

A lot of people have gut instincts about shows.  Some artists are completely turned off by the concept of online shows.  Some artists only want to show where they can hand-deliver work.  I try to evaluate opportunities based on how they fulfill MY current needs.  I don’t need resume fluff right now, so I am submitting to fewer shows and just trying to get the work DONE. I get asked about online galleries all the time, and whether or not they are scams.  The easy answer is “sometimes”.  You & I both need to submit work to shows that WORK for us.  So what are the pros to online shows?  I like them as a great way to test new, experimental work.  they help me see how I stack up against other work in a more objective atmosphere than the bubble of my already engaged fan and peer base.  Online shows can drive traffic to your website and give you organic social media posts.  Online exhibits can force you to create themed work that gets you out of rut or unstuck.  Depending upon the venue, they can help you reach a different audience.  And, there’s the prize money. Is this opportunity right for you?  Only you can know.  I have faith in your better instincts.

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net for Portraits 2018. $25 entry & no shipping.  The theme is open to broader interpretation than you might think, and you know you want the $500 grant.  Take a look…

the SMOOTH move

I finally have a use for all those black, frozen bananas cluttering my freezer –the afternoon smoothie.  I live with two high-metabolism guys, so the 4 o’clock afternoon snack is standard here.  I’m not new to the concept of the smoothie, but I am new to making them regularly.  Frozen cantaloupe, whole milk yogurt and a melange of other goodies like vanilla, berries, chia seeds.  I am frequently still NOT hungry when dinner prep time rolls around.  The best part is that they are super fast & have almost no clean up, giving me less distraction and fewer avoidance excuses.

I need fewer reasons to make excuses.  Do you hibernate from responsibility when overwhelmed? Me too. I am a member of a handful of online artistic communities, and I read all the bickering about what shows are worth entering and which aren’t.  No one seems to see different paths.  Everyone seems to have divided up into teams “realism” vs. “abstraction”, “fine art” vs. “applied arts”.  Where are you?  And why can’t your decision be based on where YOU are or where you want to be?  Right now, I am interested mainly in academic and museum shows because this is a period of growth and change.  What shows feel right to you?  Are you concentrating on publication?  Are you testing new work in online venues?  Are you searching for gallery representation or maybe higher volume commercial sales?  All of those paths are valid.  Don’t get sucked into the guilt of not fulfilling the vision someone else has for what being a successful artist means. (Remind me to talk about Insta-worthy studios sometime.)

Check out this Call for Entries for the 56th Annual Juried Exhibition from the Masur Museum of Art (Monroe, LA). $20 Entry & no commission.  This is a stunning museum show with a storied history. The juror has excellent curatorial vision.   I think this is a great opportunity, but is it the right fit for you?  Have a smoothie and get back to me. 🙂

I’ve spent a lifetime drinking 2% & skim milk without concern to its origin, only the expiration date.  As the world has become more conscious of what we put in our bodies, I continued to drink lower fat options from dairies employing more healthful methods of production.  But even those varieties are often too sweet and are ineffective in adding flavor and consistency to my cooking.  I have finally given into the value of organic, whole milk products.  Value-driven shopping isn’t always the cheapest route.  This next Call costs more to enter than some others, but it offers HUGE cash award options.  Is this the right value for you?  Only you can decide.

nuts for NUTS

I make a lot of granola these days.  I tripped across this mostly Paleo recipe & altered it to taste.  (We don’t eat Paleo, specifically, but I am often drawn to the recipes.) This version is absent the oats found in most granola, so it lacks the chalky, starchy lethargic quality of the stereotypical bagged cereal.  My version is mostly nuts & seeds with a bit of dried fruit, coconut oil & a dash of honey.  There seems to always be a batch in the oven, and I’m going through roll after roll of parchment paper.  It is brain food; try it.  This next Call is looking for works on paper.  Take a look…
