Who doesn’t love maple syrup?  I am a little embarrassed to admit that I instantly think “maple” when I think of Canadian food.  A country with such a rich multi-cultural food tradition (not the least of which is French) deserve more consideration.  Nonetheless, I think of maple treats.  My in-laws go fishing in Canada every year, and I can always count on a bounty of maple candy and syrup upon their return.  But, I’m running a little low this year.  Any chance one of you might pick up a few maple-flavored treats for me while you’re at the opening for this next call?  It is time to go…

Check out this Call for Entries from Richmond Art Gallery (Richmond, BC, Canada) for a Mail Art Exhibition.  For those of you not in Canada, here’s a way to get an international show on your resume for FREE and free art too.  Take a closer look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mail Art Exhibition

Read the full Call for Entries from Richmond Art Gallery in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada!Artists from all over the world are invited to contribute their work for the Richmond Art Gallery’s Mail Art Exhibition and Swap. This exhibition is intended to be a cultural exchange, where artists exhibit their works and receive new works as part of a swap. This shared enterprise is free from the rules of the art market, and yet we ask artists to respond to the theme of “economy” in all its forms.

Mail Art (aka Postal Art) is an art form where artists exchange artworks and correspondence through the mail to one another. The historical roots of Mail Art can be traced back to the Fluxus art movement of the 1960s, where several artists associated with the Fluxus movement began to work with Mail Art as the non-commercial exchange of creative ideas, correspondence and images in mailable formats that existed outside of the gallery system. In the 1970s Mail Art grew as an international art movement, and continues on nowadays with the help of the internet.

To continue on in the tradtion of this democratic art form, all entries received that follow the guidelines on the entry form will be exhibited.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

CALL for ENTRIES: Thanks Anyway

Click to subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!CRAZY for BISCUITS

I am grateful that I never have to attempt making biscuits again.  I went to cooking school for a year, and it was popular to characterize the pastry folk, and anyone who made bakery goods as a little wacky.  The popular theory was they snorted too much flour.  However, I found this characterization an easy rationalization for why I can’t make biscuits –clearly, I am too sane to master the task.  Luckily, my crazy mother taught my crazy husband how to make biscuits, and I don’t ever have to do it again. This Call wants to know what makes you feel gratitude.  I’d be grateful for a glass of artisan wine right now…

IN THE DOG HOUSE

The first food that I truly remember eating was a hot dog topped with American cheese.  I was around three years old, and it was called an “Angel Riding Horseback.”  Priceless.  It came from a restaurant in the Clearwater, Florida area that specialized in hot dogs.  Hundreds of hot dogs.  If anyone can tell me the name, I’d be thrilled to know.  This next call has nothing to do with hotdogs, but you do have to be 40 to enter (or a member of The Haggus Society).  And against my better judgement, I am willing to publicly admit that I am drawing close to my 40th birthday.  It makes me reminisce… about food.  Ridiculous? Certainly. Deal with it.

Check out this Call for Entries from The Haggus Society for Edges & Curves at The Glass Studio in Highland Park, CA. The entry fee is only $12 for 6 images; however, there are age restrictions. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note:  This is a reminder because I love this show, and in the interest of full disclosure, I am a Hag in good standing.  Plus, The Haggus Society is an official sponsor of this site as evidenced by the ad in the right sidebar.  I love Hags, and I can admit it.

Edges & Curves

 

Edges & Curves, Nothing In Between attempts to bust the myth that the older creative has lost her or his edge.

In a youth oriented society, the conventional wisdom is that the younger artist is the risk taker and rule breaker. And while those who would follow conventional wisdom believe we soften as we get older, there are those who actually hone their edges to craft a message with more bite and risk because of their station in life.

ELIGIBILITY: This event is open to any artist 40 years and older.

Natural Playground

 

Playgrounds come in all shapes and sizes, and they’re likely the first place your sense of adventure was tested . . . and further cultivated.  For the outdoor aficionado, what first started as an obsession for see-saws, swing sets, slides, jungle gyms, and sandboxes, has since turned into an instinctive passion for adventure by means of a different type of playground — the natural playground.

Whether by trail, rock, water, snow or air, where has your obsession for adventure taken you?  What’s your photographic definition of Living the Dream?  Skiing or snowboarding in the Alps or at your local hill?  Climbing in Thailand or at the backyard crag?  Mountain Biking in British Columbia or on your neighborhood trails?  Surfing pristine Tahiti barrels or a quiet home break?  Kayaking through Patagonia or along your favorite coastline?

A BAKER’S DOZEN

I appreciate simple food.  Somedays there is nothing more comforting than a roasted chicken; however, I am baffled by the new wave of “5 ingredient” cookbooks.  I appreciate that sometimes you only HAVE five ingredients.  But a whole cookbook of 5 ingredient dishes?  I use olive oil, garlic, parsley and cracked black pepper in almost everything…that only leaves me one additional ingredient.  How about giving me 12 ingredients?  Take a 12 layer dip to the opening of the exhibit in this next Call.  Just a subtle pun…
