CALL for ENTRIES: F the Art World

Posted on March 15, 2017March 16, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

freedom FOOD

I have been a rule follower by habit, not conviction, most of my life. I have spent the last 3 months trying to break that habit in preparation for a new life of freedom and food and felicity. My current happy food is fresh-squeezed lime & cilantro over grilled peaches. This next Call encourages you to find their space happy and free from the rules of tradition & custom. Can you do it?

Check out this Call for Entries from unARThodox (NY) for the F The Art World exhibit. For all you that lament the unspoken, unfair “rules” of the art world, here’s your golden ticket to speak your mind. Take a look…

la fresa, LAS FRESAS

I am trying to learn some basic Spanish. As you might imagine, I skipped ahead to the food lessons almost immediately, ha. I can order water, milk & fish now, agua, leche & pescado, yeah. But as my lessons continue, I am amazed by how many words I already knew or could at least guess from brief French language studies more than a decade past. Like fresas. Strawberries. This next Call offers publication during National Strawberry Month (May). Take a look…

taking WHISKS

Recipes are sort of like guide books for me. I have no interest in doing exactly what they say, but they are a great jumping-off point. There are exceptions, thousands of them. See “baking”. Baking is a science. Baklava, croissant, sourdough, layer cakes–making them is either complicated or at the very least time-consuming, but the pay off is HUGE. This next Call is like that. There are a LOT of details, so read the prospectus in full, but the pay of is huge. First prize is $120,000, and it isn’t limited to representational work. Take a look at this one…

CALL for ENTRIES: Seeing Blue

Posted on February 4, 2017February 4, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

unpopped CORN

Sleep is not my friend. As a lifelong insomniac, and I have tried EVERY remedy –prescription, herbal, oils, sounds, aroma. Lack of sleep promotes depression. For me, depression often takes the form of extended weeks or months of “the blues” marked by an remarkable lethargy and a sort of emotional paralysis. It is more common in winter, so I am actively combating insomnia every February. This year, I am having moderate success by not snacking late at night (my apologies to the massive hit sustained by the popcorn industry) & getting half an hour of moderate exercise each morning. Creativity is the ultimate therapy & this next Call is a great chance to work out some pent up “blues”. Investigate….

BEANS of green

The women in my family have a grudge against the snap of a fresh green vegetable. My mother has canned green beans for her sisters for the last half-dozen years. Her process for canning requires a certain amount of cooking plus heat-sealing the jars which compromises the texture. But, that isn’t where the grudge match ends; my aunts cook canned green beans for hours in addition. What did green beans ever do to the women in my family? While I contemplate those answers, here’s a Call that wants to see more work by women. Take a look…

fast FARE

The freezer saves dinner about two days a week in my house. We purposefully cook more portions than we can eat and save the leftovers. It started out as a way to send lunch with my kiddo for school, but it has become a dinner rescue regularly. When you get busy and have forgotten to plan for dinner and live nearly a half hour from the closest grocery or restaurant, you’re grateful for frozen leftovers. This next Call is not a leftover or frozen, but I did neglect to plan the publication more than a few days out from the deadline. Sorry about that…

window GARDEN

It is the first day of Fall, and I am still nursing my garlic chives from Spring. I received a gift of a 6″ starter of garlic chives from a farmers market vendor. And, instead of re-potting, I just sat it in a dish in my window sill and kept clipping and watering. Miraculously, it is still here –testament to an excellent offering from an excellent farmer. This next Call is excellent. Trust me, you won’t regret sending a proposal. I promise.

CORN

I have such reservations about corn but none about corn pudding. We had it for dinner tonight. I always think of corn as hailing from Iowa. (I am clearly like a marketing sponge.) But as I spent hours on the back roads of Ohio last year trying to avoid the nightmare that is I-75 South, I drove through miles and miles and miles of corn fields, intersected only by the occasional two-lane or gravel road. Dazzling. Beautiful. Waving both “hello” & “goodbye”. A landscape of corn. In Ohio. This next Call wants your landscape or seascape, or even your corn. Take a look…
