CALL for ENTRIES: Strokes of Genius

Learn more about the Strokes of Genius Exhibit at the Maryland Federation of Art! eat more ART

Food matters to me, inspires me.  I believe that what we eat informs our health & happiness.  I’m not talking about counting calories or carbs.  I am concerned with whole foods, grown locally with minimal processing.  Real food.  I am always delighted to see food inspiring others.  Chocolate has inspired art, including a sort of painting, in the the pastry arts for years, but did you know there are chocolate portrait painters?  No joke.  This next call is looking for work done through a painterly process, but I’m guessing they aren’t expecting chocolate.  Investigate for yourself…

CHICKEN LEG
at a time

Growing up, meat was the focal point of all meal preparation.  Everything revolved around how long the meatloaf, turkey, fried chicken etc. had to cook.  Every plate had to be picture perfect–1/2 meat (it is the South afterall), 1/4 starch (usually potatoes), 1/4 vegetable (often fried). As an adult, my meals still have a singular focus, but now that focus is ease of preparation, ha.  This next Call for Entries is singular in focus as well.  Be sure to check this out…

my biscuits

I have a deep and enduring love for biscuits.  Alton Brown is in town this week for the Biscuit Festival in Knoxville, TN.  I wonder if Alton considers “drop biscuits” truly biscuits.  I love the sort of free formed blobs of biscuit often laden with cheddar, parsley, kosher salt and a healthy dose of garlic butter.  Yum.  This next Call is dubbed “Formations” but is really searching for emerging artists.  Take a look…

‘EM UP!

I love kitchen gadgets, as you very well know.  However, I’ve found lots of fun and funny uses for my least used kitchen accessories outside the kitchen all together.  My favorite Wilton offset spatula for icing cakes has become my best palatte knife.  And back before I cut off all my hair for ease and convenience, I had a favorite set of red and black enameled chopsticks that made fabulous hair sticks.  Maybe your found object for this next Call will come from the kitchen.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Maryland Federation of Art (Annapolis, MD) for Eye of the Beholder!  This found object show is unique in that you only have to incorporate ONE found objects.  Have fun…

Eye of the Beholder

 
Found Objects: (According to The Smithsonian Institution) “Found art, more commonly called found objects — in French, objet trouve — is a term used to describe art created from common objects not normally considered to be artistic. The idea behind found art is that the piece of art derives its significance from the context into which it is put. Found Art blurs the traditional lines of what is art and questions the very nature of art itself. Found objects are often used by artists and may include the repurposing of street signs, license plates, or bottle caps, use of recycled paper, or imaginative application of household items.”

ELIGIBILITY: All artists residing in the United States and Canada

MEDIA: The exhibition is held to showcase the works of fine art that have incorporated at least one or more found objects into their presentation. Any two or three dimensional submission following exhibition guidelines will be considered by the juror.

I miss seafood.  I love my husband dearly, but his adult-onset allergy to shellfish has really put a crimp in our food lifestyle.  Amongst my favorites are mussels steamed in white wine and Maryland blue crabs.  Aside from the adults having gorgeous blue claws, they are delightfully yummy.  Crack one for me at the opening of the show resulting from this next Call.
