CALL for ENTRIES: Fantastic Fibers 2019

Learn more about the Fantastic Fibers 2019 exhibit from Yeiser Art Center in Paducah, Kentucky! I YAM what I yam

I make fantastic mashed potatoes.  No, really, I do.  My husband wants to know why I refuse to share my technique, but he secretly suspects it is the volume of butter involved.  I can neither confirm or deny.  My favorites to mash are these tiny little orange sweets I get from Aldi.  I bake them (that’s the real secret) before adding butter & other goodies.  I prefer to puree them in my food processor, but I am usually too lazy to wash it afterwards, so I whip them with my hand mixer instead.  Whatever variety of sweet potato that Aldi has been carrying lately seems to have almost no stringy fibers to untangle from my beaters.  Add a hint of nutmeg, and it is like a spoonful of Thanksgiving every time.  They are great in place of rice for bowl full of stir fried root vegetables on a rainy day.

I am hyper aware of fiber lately, I suppose because of the embroidery or mark making with thread that has become a defining characteristic in my work.  The work I am loving most these days is fiber.  Rug tufting. Ombré string instillation. Simply over-stitched paper collages.  I come from a family of quilters, and I love to sew.  It isn’t a huge leap.  I honestly can’t believe my own work didn’t “go there” before now.  I think I felt that I couldn’t measure up as a quilter (imposter syndrome again).  I still don’t know how it developed; one day I just started stitching over my paintings.  Now they are incomplete without stitching.  In the meantime, no one, including me, really considers my work fiber art; therefore, I may be stuck in the mixed media category forever.  This next show is fiber specific.  I’ve been to this show multiple years, and it is awe inspiring.  Thousands of people flock to this show, and it features an ever-evolving range of work both aesthetically and narratively challenging. I want to be a part of this evolution someday.  If you do this work, please be sure to do this show.

CALL for ENTRIES: Dairy Arts Annual

Learn more about 2020 Exhibition opportunities from the Dairy Arts Center!

you’re the ZEST!

The hourglass on citron is running low.  Citron (aka Buddha’s hand) is that freaky-looking fingered citrus fruit that is commonly found in fruitcake and other holiday baked confections.  It is lovely candied and turns a gorgeous shade of lemon yellow.  Not panicked about the days slipping away?  You’d better be certain, because it is only available a few months of the year, and January is the last of them in most places.  So what happens if I need it in June?  I wait; that’s what.  If you miss this next call, YOU will also have to wait.

That’s the problem with waiting until you’re ready.  Artists are often, by nature, too busy or too focused or too single-minded to be looking forward by months, much less years.  So, we are cast as procrastinators even if the part doesn’t quite fit.  I am you; we are all you.  It is easy to say “next time” when you feel unprepared, or worse yet, suffering from a reliable case of impostor syndrome.  But we’re never ready enough or prepared enough or qualified enough.  

This next Call is for solo exhibit opportunities in 2020 at a public art center in Boulder, Colorado, a popular arts location.  Why this call?  First, they only ask for 4 to 7 images, not 20.  You’ve got 4 images, right?  Next, they offer a map of their galleries.   Why is this important? Because their galleries are numerous and of varying size, including some lobby and corridor spaces that are manageable, regardless of how prepared you feel right now.  You can’t wait until you re ready because then you’ll have to wait 2 years.  And, what if you don’t get in the first time?  You’ll feel more prepared and less nervous the second time, not “next time”.  I get that not every opportunity is right for every artist, but if you’re going to NOT enter, be certain you’re CHOOSING not to enter, not letting the fear or insecurity choose for you.

Check out this Call for Entries from Dairy Arts Center (Boulder, CO) for 2020 Exhibition Opportunities. $35 submission fee with as few as 4 images.  Is this your next step? This is a great venue…

I was born in Florida –Clearwater, to be exact.  My time there as a child was shortlived, a mere 5 years.  But, as an adult, I’ve had great reason to travel the width & breadth of the state.  I’ve eaten every imaginable cuisine in Florida, and I’ve written of many of them for you.  But the best Cuban food I’ve ever eaten was in West Palm Beach –no kidding.  This next Call hails from the same local and promises to offer a great opportunity in an excellent venue.  Investigate for yourself…

The Thanksgiving sea of brown food has passed.  Luckily, my family forgoes the turkey, dressing, gravy & rolls thereby missing out on a good portion of the brownness of it all. I crave color even in my food.  A star of this year’s menu was the beet & clementine salad.  Beets are plentiful year around due to how well they do in cold storage.  If you are one of those folks that swear they dislike beets, make a point to try them fresh roasted.  (Message me for a recipe.)  In the meantime, here’s a call that also craves color.  Take a look…

Grocery lists should be derived from menus, however, I lack the discipline to make a menu every week and the fortitude to endure a grocery trip long enough to sustain a week of daily menus.  As a result, we buy random groceries and the menus are developed based on what we happen to have on hand at the moment.  The advantage is that sometimes we trip across unbelievable recipes just by narrowing the ingredients by availability.  This next Call chooses a theme AFTER receiving the submissions.  How fun is THAT? You don’t have to fit a mold; the MOLD fits you…

Here today, gone tomorrow –ah, transient tomatoes.  Just last week I was lamenting how many ways I could quickly preserve the abundance of tomatoes I brought home from the farmers market.  Now?  I have a handful of tiny Romas left before I have to suffer the grocer’s sad selection of hard, hot house harlots that pass as tomatoes.

My talent lies with liquids.  That is, my cooking skills are at their best with sauces, soups, stews & the occasional bisque.  There are many Seinfeld-esque Soup Nazi comments in my house regularly, but I am so excited that winter is here.  There is something about the delicate balance of flavors & how they change in a liquid that create the perfect puzzle for me  to solve. Let the season of potato soup, bolognese & Sauce Béarnaise.  This next Call wants to know where your talents lie.  The deadline is just around the corner…

Knife skills are important if you are interested in becoming a commercial cook or chef.  However, I think the ground floor of cooking well, of understanding HOW to cook well, lies in sauce skills.  Once you understand how to make the 5 French mother sauces, you’ll understand the art of balance and the science of how food works.

I reject very few foods, but canned asparagus is near the top of my list.  Fresh asparagus is a happy, grassy, bright veggie that reminds me of spring when served ice cold after being blanched or roasted served with a  little balsamic vinegar reduction.  Yum.  Canned asparagus is gray, salty, slimy, and unworthy of being purchased.

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Social Rejection

Independent Curator, Clayton Windatt is seeking your letters of rejection for display in his new exhibition Social Rejection

Learn more about Social Rejection and exhibit by Clayton Windatt!All artists have received rejections; some more frequently than others.  The guilt, shame, pain and isolation that an artist feels when they receive a rejection letter can seem insurmountable.  This project will empower artists that have been rejected by publicly acknowledging the hostile environment that the arts councils have created. 

By exhibiting rejection letters from artists, collectives and organizations, this exhibition will address the stressful condition imposed on the artistic majority by the elite few.  Artists participating in this exhibition will be conforming to non-conformity and experiencing the empowerment of embracing their worthlessness.

ELIGIBILITY:  Rejection letters can be submitted by artists from all regions, disciplines and backgrounds, collectives and organizations. These letters will be adhered to the walls, ceiling and floor, to cover every surface of each exhibition space Social Rejection exhibits at. A roster of all participating artists will be presented at the rear of the exhibition venue acknowledging the participants, enabling acceptance through rejection.

Learn more about Clayton Windatt!DEADLINE:  June 1, 2011

NOTIFICATION:  All Hung Exhibit

ENTRY FEE:   Participants are asked to pay a small fee ($10 payable to “Social Rejection”) to help cover costs of creating and maintaining each exhibition as well as the costs of publicizing the event. Letters must be in English or French – there is no funding for additional translation services.

CURATOR/ARTIST:  Clayton Windatt is an artist, curator and outspoken advocate for artists’ rights. He holds a BA in Fine Art from Nipissing University and received his Graphic Designer certification from Canadore College. He contributes actively to several provincial and regional organizations as a writer, designer, and curator and is an active visual and media artist. Clayton’s current curatorial vision explores the unclear nature of the funding world, peer assessment committees and what constitutes acceptance.

NO LETTERS WILL BE RETURNED. If you need to retain your originals, please send photocopies.

COMMISSION:  No artist fees will be paid to any participants during this exhibition. This is an act of political aggression towards the arts councils of Canada. This statement will communicate the anguish that artists experience as a result of being rejected.

Please send letters to:
