CALL for ENTRIES: Prints USA 2011

Posted on July 21, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FRY your own SAUSAGE

Missouri makes me think of German sausage. Did you know that Ozark Mountain country (partially located in southern Missouri) was widely settled by Germans that brought their own culinary traditions? To this day, Hermann’s Wurstfest celebrates this culinary transplant every year. You know the saying, “you made your bed, now lie in it?” I prefer the German version: “Die Wurst nach dem Manne braten” — every man fries his own sausage. Check out this Call for Entries from Missouri…

Posted on July 17, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

ROAST my CLOVE,
please!

There is something special about the first taste of something special. Chances are good you have no clue the first time you tasted garlic because it is hidden in food as early as Chef Boyardee. BTW, how impressed are you that the Chef now offers whole grain pasta, a full serving of vegetables and preservative free? And no, they are not sponsoring this blog, I promise. However, it would be surprised if you didn’t remember your first taste of smooth, nutty, creamy roasted garlic. This next call is your chance to be involved in a first for Gallore Gallery.

CALL for ART ENTRIES: The Guild

Posted on July 15, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

STICKY SWEET

When I think of salt water taffy, I think of the mountains. Odd, eh? I suspect that salt water taffy got its start on seaside boardwalks, but it seems every small mountain town has a great little store front that lets you watch taffy being made. I know that here in Gatlinburg, there is more than one. I wonder if Blue Ridge, GA (home of this Call) has a taffy shop. Sounds like a great reason to attend the reception…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Southern Appalachian Artist Guild for their Annual National Juried Show which will be exhbiited in the Richard Low Evans Gallery in Blue Ridge, GA, one of “America’s Top Art Communities.” I know that discussing art sales is like talking about religion or politics in polite company (in bad taste), but I will say it anyway… this could be a great opportunity to sell some artwork.

CALL for ENTRIES: Lines into Shapes

Posted on July 14, 2011July 14, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FORGIVE ME, please

I think in food cliches. People like me are the reason pumpkin pie candles are sold scores of people longing for fall. And, when I think of Colorado, I think of hot chocolate after skiing. Hot chocolate after skiing is lovely, but Colorado is home to some of the finest restaurants in the US. They deserve more consideration that my cliched hot chocolate. I apologize. This next Call is from Colorado; maybe there will be hot chocolate at the reception.

CALL for ART ENTRIES: Eye of the Beholder

Posted on July 12, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

STICK
‘EM UP!

I love kitchen gadgets, as you very well know. However, I’ve found lots of fun and funny uses for my least used kitchen accessories outside the kitchen all together. My favorite Wilton offset spatula for icing cakes has become my best palatte knife. And back before I cut off all my hair for ease and convenience, I had a favorite set of red and black enameled chopsticks that made fabulous hair sticks. Maybe your found object for this next Call will come from the kitchen. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Maryland Federation of Art (Annapolis, MD) for Eye of the Beholder! This found object show is unique in that you only have to incorporate ONE found objects. Have fun…

CALL for ART ENTRIES:
Eye of the Beholder

Found Objects: (According to The Smithsonian Institution) “Found art, more commonly called found objects — in French, objet trouve — is a term used to describe art created from common objects not normally considered to be artistic. The idea behind found art is that the piece of art derives its significance from the context into which it is put. Found Art blurs the traditional lines of what is art and questions the very nature of art itself. Found objects are often used by artists and may include the repurposing of street signs, license plates, or bottle caps, use of recycled paper, or imaginative application of household items.”

ELIGIBILITY: All artists residing in the United States and Canada

MEDIA: The exhibition is held to showcase the works of fine art that have incorporated at least one or more found objects into their presentation. Any two or three dimensional submission following exhibition guidelines will be considered by the juror.

DEADLINE: August 24, 2011

NOTIFICATION: Sept. 23, 2011

ENTRY FEE: A maximum of 6 original works created within the past 3 years may be entered. 1 or 2 entries $35 (MFA members $20). Additional four entries $5 each. Entry fees are non-refundable.

JUROR: Janet Maher has been a working artist for thirty-five years, and is an Associate Professor of Art at Loyola University Maryland. She works in a wide range of mixed media, and teaches courses that reflect her interests, such as: Collage, Assemblage and the Found Object; Book Arts and Artist Books; Digital Mixed Media; Printmaking (Relief, Intaglio, Screenprint, Lithography and Alternative Processes), as well as Drawing and Two-Dimensional Design. She has exhibited widely and her work is in numerous public and private collections.

AWARDS: Cash awards total $1000. Contributors and recipients will be listed in the exhibition catalog.

SALES: The MFA will retain 30% commission from sales.

CALL for ART ENTRIES: Manipulated

Posted on July 11, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FREAKY FOOD

Genetically modified and manipulated food freaks me out. I eat it regularly–not because I choose to, but because disclosure is not required. What freaks me out is the unknown end result. Maybe nothing is wrong with GM food, but shouldn’t we figure that out before we start stuffing it in everything? You might be shocked by how much of the raw foods we eat are manipulated, and the processed foods we eat are packed as well. This next Call puts a lovely spin on the modified and manipulated… and stays away from my food, thank-you-very-much.

Check out this Call for Entries for Manipulated from Castell Photography in Asheville, NC! The entry fee is only $25 for 3 images, and this is an excellent opportunity for photographers to push their boundaries a little. Take a closer look…

CHOCOLATE
PERFECTION

The existence of some foods has an almost mythical quality… the perfect hot dog, the perfect pizza, and for me, the perfect piece of chocolate? Sometimes there are so many choices and so many opinions that awarding the status of “perfection” can be as individual as the food itself. Art is no different.

CALL for ENTRIES: Fur Elise

Posted on July 8, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FUZZY WUZZY,
but not a bear

I will eat snails, but peaches give me the willies. Illogical, I know. It is about the fur. I eat kiwi and coconut because it is clear they are meant to be peeled.

I’ll eat my peaches canned or just settle for nectarines, thank-you-very-much. This next Call is all about the fur… in a good way. Take a look!

GOUD-A-HEAD

I talk a good food game. My culinary tastes seem brave to some, but they aren’t really. I know what I like, but I’m a chicken about trying some stuff just like you. I cannot bring myself to even try something called head cheese. I get that it is mainly just meat in aspic, but it sounds gross and doesn’t win huge points with me for aesthetics either. One of you should take a picture of yourself eating head cheese and send it to me. The first one that does will get a little ad in the side bar for a couple of months. Make it a good picture though… ’cause I WILL publish it before you get your ad. I wonder if head cheese is an eligible topic for this next Call for Entries. Take a look…
