CALL for ENTRIES: Solo Art Show Opp

Do not miss an opportunity for a SOLO ART SHOW at Las Laguna Gallery!omg
SQUASH

While most of the world is obsessed with pumpkin-flavor, not actual pumpkin, I am reveling in the other winter squashes — butternut, acorn & patty pan.  My farmers market sells these squash, in season, for $1 each.  Split & roast one of each squash, scoop out the insides and puree through the food processor, add a little salt, pepper, garlic and a touch of curry or a few red pepper flakes, and the resulting squash soup is divine.  It looks like baby food, but the flavor is unbelievable.  I makes lunch for all three of us for at least two or three days.  Squash, just squash.  It’s a solo act, just like this next Call.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Paper Cuts

pass the paper

Would you eat something with no nutritional value just for the sake of eating if you could?  I LOVE to eat, but I’m not sure how much I would love it if I didn’t think even the most indulgent of desserts was secretly fueling my ability to live.  For example, would you eat a snack if it tasted great but happen to be made of paper? Not rice paper, not seaweed paper–PAPER paper.  Check out Slim Chips–interesting experiment.  This next Call strikes me as a much better use of paper.  Take a look…

We rarely eat in my dining room.  We most often eat our cordon bleu and asparagus in front of the dumb tube.  In fact, we do almost everything in the livingroom:   music, homework, art, reading, and all serious family planning and conversation.  It is a very personal parlor of sorts.  This next gallery is sure to be a space to inspire conversation just like it namesake.  Take a look…

By promoting these visual art forms through group shows in venues that were home to their musical counterparts, LeVine gave a home to this nascent art movement, early on.

Learn more about juror Jonathan LeVine!In February 2001, LeVine opened his own gallery Tin Man Alley in New Hope, Pennsylvania. The gallery relocated to Philadelphia in late 2002. In January 2005, LeVine renamed and moved his gallery to the epicenter of the contemporary art world, Manhattan’s Chelsea district.

more eating

There is a point at which loving food turns into a food obsession. I am self-aware enough to know that I have long passed that point.  I cannot simply EAT anything.   Eating requires dissection and discussion before digestion.  Dinner is often cold by the time it is eaten fully.  Likewise, I meet emerging artists simply obsessed with conquering their first solo show.  This next call will require your own dissection and discussion before digestion. Bon appetite…

While watching a TV show about how salami is made, my son announced that eating the organs of an animal is wrong. However, when I explained all the things that his new belief would eliminate from his menu, he then asked, “Do they at least WASH the intestines first?”   Hehehe.  These days I prefer my animal organs in the form of chicken pate, but I will have to start keeping the ingredient list to myself, apparently. This next Call for Entries involves a different sort of heart all together. This could be an excellent opportunity…

MONEY FOR DESSERT

Most professional artists rely on art sales for income. Most emerging artists hope for art sales for extra income for supplies.

So, how do you afford to produce work, submit work, get to attend the openings and still afford to eat dessert?

Somethings are best alone…like pomegranite seeds…and art exhibitions.  I love the rare occasion that I get an art gallery all to myself as a viewer.  I love the sort of reverential feel of being surrounded by artwork with the time and lack of distraction to form a personal bond with the work.  I also love the occasional opportunity for a solo exhibit–the opportunity to make a singular statement.
