FREE Resources.

Enjoy FREE resources from artandartdeadlines.com!

Over the past seven years Art&ArtDeadlines.com has evolved.  If you haven’t been with us from the beginning, just assume we’ve always been this fabulous.  But if you’ve been reading for 5+ years, well, we’re happy to have had a witness to the transformation.  The fundamental change from rambling, long posts to shorter posts in standard formatting came somewhere around year two, followed quickly by changes to color and imagery.  Last year the branding got more consistent, and the pics grew in size.

Even my taste in food has changed over time. 

____

This year we have begun to follow through on the art portion of Art&ArtDeadlines.com with the #artistoftheday posts, but we still have a lot of work to do.  And the next step is offering additional resources for professional development like grants, purchase awards and residencies –maybe even a guest post or two.

If you want to help, we welcome your suggestions, need your re-posts & shares.  What do YOU need?  On a more personal note, I would welcome your feedback & support.  Seven years is a long time to post opportunities, and the payoffs have been huge on a personal level.  The artists and jurors and gallerists that I have have come to know and love and count amongst my friends and peers remains the biggest and most unexpected gift.  Thank you.  If we don’t know each other, comment or message or email me.  Say hello.  I’m here for, fingers-crossed, years to come.

I love a good meal, but I love a free meal even better.  The cliche that “you get what you pay for” isn’t always true.  Afterall, my favorite gift to receive for ANY holiday is a home-cooked meal.  However, complaining about a bad meal at a restaurant (when it was free) does pose complications.  As you might imagine, free money for artists are about as plentiful as free meals.  But, it can be found.  I find that many artists that don’t live within 20 miles of a state’s capitol overlook one of their best opportunities for a free meal or two–their state Arts Organization. Don’t forget to check out the Art of Cooking for tips on writing a winning grant Proposal.

CATCH and RELEASE?

One of my favorite things about a river vacation getaway or retreat is the trout.  I like to catch them.  I like to eat them.  I do not like to clean them.  It isn’t about my wanting to be ignorant of the source of my food or the avoiding the death of a living being.  I just don’t like the guts part.  No, really.  If you’re a little squeamish too, make sure you take someone along for this next week-long artist residency on the river.  Take a look…

A WINDOW on the WORLD

There is a great little restaurant in downtown Knoxville called Sapphire that occupies an old jewelry store.  It is one of my favorite places to go, sit at a table in the display window overlooking the downtown sidewalk, and sip a Sapphire Martini.  This next call is another great reason to find things to do in this little gem of a Southern town.

Check out this great Call to Artists for the Betsy Worden Memorial Artist Residency at the Emporium Center.  There is no application fee, and you could end up with a solo show!

My child cannot cook.  In his defense, he is a brilliant, nerdy eleven year old that loves to read and dance and play games.  He makes great grades… but some things escape him. 

He will be so embarassed when he finds out I posted this one day, but… I left him with the responsibility to microwave a frozen meal for his lunch while I was busy blogging one day.  Moments later he came to me and said, “I pushed the button, and it didn’t open.” 

Yep, you know the little perforated semi-circle on the back of the box that you’re supposed to push in to create a thumb hole that allows you to rip the box open?  MmmHmm, in his literal little mind, there was apparently supposed to be an auto open once he pushed the button.  We laugh now, but talk to me in ten years.  It won’t be funny if he’s still living with me then.  He just needs guidance about nuance, right?  He just needs to understand not everything is literal?  This Call may allow you to pass along a little instruction to someone that needs the guidance.
