or CHEESE?

I will emerge from the melted cheese eventually.  Yes, I realize I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks.  You’ll just have to forgive me.  I’ve been dealing with some pretty serious health challenges and complications from surgery.  I AM OKAY; I promise.  I’ve just been feeling sorry for myself and haven’t been capable of spreading the same generous helpings of optimism for which I am known.  I’ve been drowning in the melted cheese of recovery: macaroni ‘n’ cheese, grilled cheese, cheese enchiladas, three cheese lasagna–the food of the depressed and/or recovering.  But, I am slowly emerging from the cheesy fog.  I had fresh fish tacos last night (with a minimal amount of monterrey jack).  So, this next Call seemed like the perfect “I’m almost back” post.  Take a look…

Check out this great Call for Entries brought to you by SlowArt Productions. Emerging Artists 2014 work will be showcased at the Limner Gallery in Hudson, NY. The entry fee is reasonable and prizes include both cash and publication awards! Don’t delay your entry…

I get a lot of crap about eating gluten free.  I don’t preach it to others, so I simply don’t get the fascination.  I have FB “friends” that mock me, and even my mother enjoys the occasional jab.  What I eat has suddenly become some sort of politicized issue.  Don’t we have better things to politicize, people?  Spend your creative energy making a political statement with actual impact with this next call.  Take a look…

FOR YOU

Why is mint chocolate chip ice cream so often green?  We know that the essential oils used to produce the mint flavor certainly doesn’t lend the color.  Is it the manufacturer’s way of grabbing the attention of someone already searching for the flavor?  Does green food say “mint” to you?  Green foods say “grassy” or “produce” to me.  There is no denying that food imagery helps determine choice, and this next Call drives home that point precisely.  Can’t wait to see your entries…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Feast. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!  I have such a soft spot for this gallery, and considering the theme, I really want to see one of MY BELOVED FOODIE ARTISTS take Best of Show…and all the other spots as well.  Make me proud…

Work from Juror Matt Armendariz!CALL for ENTRIES:
Feast

 

Feast your eyes & dig in. The taste of food photography.

From farm to table; the harvesting, preparing and plating of culinary masterpieces.  Food, we eat it to survive.  Yet if grown and prepared with intention, these are the dishes we savor.

Cooking can be a lot like taking a great photograph.  Both lend themselves to fearless experimentation, adaptation and, ultimately, the creation of something awe-inspiring.

Photography capturing this process is something that all walks of life can connect to and be stirred by.  The act of breaking bread with one another is deeply ingrained in our many traditions and ancestry.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

Learn more about the Darkroom Gallery online!MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: October 16, 2013

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 images for $24 US for on-line and $29 for email submission

JUROR: For the past 20 years Matt Armendariz has been immersed in food in one way or another.  As a former graphic designer and art director in the food industry, he has surrounded himself with great food before he began branching out into photography and blogging as a way to expand and share his passion for all things food and drink. High and low, near and far, food and flavor have always been his driving force and the stories that shape how and what we eat have always captivated him.

Matt’s photo clients include La Brea Bakery, Target, Food Network, Cooking Channel, Coca Cola, In N Out, Pom Wonderful, Coastal Living Magazine, Time Magazine,  Food + Wine,  and various cookbooks.

AWARDS: All selected entries are exhibited in the Darkroom Gallery and included in a full color exhibit catalog. Juror’s Choice receives a 30×48″ vinyl exhibit banner featuring their image. People’s Choice gains free entry into a future exhibit.

FRIED

There are a lot of reasons not to eat fried foods on a regular basis.  You’ve heard most of them: blood pressure, heart disease, vitamin deficiency.  Blah, blah, blah. You already know all of the logical reasons.  So, let me proffer that fried food is the culinary equivalent of institutional gray.  Do you really enjoy a plate of brown and beige food that all basically tastes beige?  I hate to misappropriate the Skittles slogan, but taste the rainbow people.  This next Call is the best reason to appreciate gray, but walk away from the beige, folks…

The world is a colorful place. Despite this, photographers often choose to excise color from the world they capture. Artists working in black and white eliminate the complexities of color to accentuate form, composition, and lighting. The world desaturated is in some ways made more vivid. For Grayscale, The Kiernan gallery seeks photographs of any subject matter that use and celebrate the vibrancy of monochrome.

FOODS

Like everyone, I have kitchen horror stories.  I still relive slicing my finger open while opening a package of fish.  I rushed to the hospital hoping to have the “clean cut” glued instead of stitched so that it wouldn’t interfere with my looming art deadline, only to be left in the waiting room so long they couldn’t glue it.  Plus, there’s the horror of having burned everything imaginable.  BTW, the most expensive foods burn easiest.  You’ve got horror stories of you own, whether real or imagined, and this next Call wants to hear AND see them.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Bruce Humphries for Art School Horror Stories (art publication).  You’ve either got stories of your own or have heard them from your peers.  So, here’s your chance to put them out there in either written word or image.  This should be fun…

If I had to choose one food to represent me as a person, I would possibly die of indecision. But, since my food ramblings are only the fluff of why readers come to this site, and you don’t have enough time to wait…let’s will say just for argument’s sake that goat cheese would represent me perfectly. Soft but with an edge, getting a little more tart with age, not for everyone, but goes well with almost anything. Goat cheese is me. If goat cheese isn’t you, don’t worry. This next Call offers you a chance for a year-long representation. Investigate…

Luckily, no one has bothered to ever install hidden cameras in my kitchen.  The images of my pretending to be Julia Child wouldn’t be great for my credibility.  But, it’s what I do when attempting something in the kitchen for which I am untrained or unqualified–like de-boning a whole chicken.  I make believe.  It makes any resulting failure sting less.  This next Call wants to know how YOU make believe…

Receiving an MFA in photography from Louisiana Tech University, his images have appeared throughout the world in numerous group and solo exhibitions, publications, and online media.

Bloxham’s photography centers around fictional situations and events, told through the slight hint of a smirking camera.  His techniques apply the command of tools ranging from pen, paper, and storyboards, to strobe lighting and digital post-processing.   He is an assistant professor of photography at West Virginia Wesleyan College, and a faculty member at the Maine Media Workshops.

This year’s juror show theme centers around the well known 1916 poem by Robert Frost entitled The Road Not Taken.  Poetry and the visual arts can have the similar ability to evoke thought, reflection, and emotion.  This year’s theme, The Road Not Taken can be explored as a whole or focused on a certain phrase or aspect of the poem by the artist.

Who is left behind when one goes down one path and not the other?  What do we sacrifice for taking the road less traveled?  The poem is to be interpreted by the individual artist.
