My kitchen cupboard is like the United Nations of spice racks.  I love challenging my taste buds by experimenting with tastes and flavors that have not been a natural part of my cultural experience.  As you know, I live in the Great Smoky Mountains where Thai food is considered a really exotic experience… so I value my trips to larger metropolitan areas for food variety alone.  Is it wrong that I want to enter this next show just so I might be able to grab some Ethiopian food on the way to the opening?  I don’t think so either.

Check out this Call for Entries for the 22nd Annual International Juried Competition from Viridian Artists, Inc.  The entry fee is a little high, but the results could be a large number of your pieces in a time-honored exhibit in New York City.  Take a look…
