CALL for ENTRIES: 9×12

PEPPERS
only smaller

My whole house smells like peppers & basil at the moment. A recent Saturday trip to the farmers market ended with a huge surplus of these staples, but to prevent loss, I am dehydrated both. Then I will grind, chop or crumble most of these into a smaller form for storage and use this winter. This next Call could be an outlet for new work, but it could be an excellent way to compact and move out studies or older work. I encourage you to contemplate cutting down your work. Yes, I DID say, “cutting down your work”…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Fort Worth Community Arts Center (Fort Worth, TX) for 9×12 Works on Paper. This could be a great way to do a little studio cleaning & resume building at the same time. Take a look…

More than one work may be mailed in each envelope.

BOOKS
for breakfast

We are all taught from an early age not to judge a book by its cover. However, nearly every cookbook in my collection got there because of an appetizing photograph on the cover. A friend that photographs food for a living told me that the looks are often achieved through under cooking, over cooking, shellac, resin and paint. What a shame that such beautiful food never gets eaten. But that knowledge does make me feel better about the ugly stuff I serve fairly regularly. This next Call wants to see your books and challenges artists of ALL media to enter. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Fort Worth Community Arts Center (FWCAC from Fort Worth, TX) for BookArt. A national call for original artist made books in any form or media.
