More and more people are farming. There may be fewer commercial farms, but I find that more and more people are taking the time to grow something. Not everything; just something. This image (left) is from the Facebook feed of a friend of mine in the suburbs of Charleston, WV who is sprouting garlic for container gardening on his back patio. He planted tomato seedlings in between the sprouted cloves. It isn’t a huge endeavor, but he’ll have the best salsa of anyone in his neighborhood this summer. LOVE. This next Call celebrates roots in exactly the same manner. Cultivate this one…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Roots

“Curious about histories, origins, and the beginning of things, we ask emerging artists to probe their genesis – the dawning of a tribe, the annals of ancestry, the birth of a movement. Those catalytic moments in time that give rise to new ethos. We also invite artists working with organic and/or sustainable materials to apply. Our aim is to feature projects born out of a response to horticulture, urban farming, and agriculture; or narratives that invoke our natural world. ” –from onthegroundfloor.co

GLASS

I rarely drink alcoholic beverages at home. I have a sort of daily ritual that starts with two carbonated drinks which are followed by unsweetened, decaffeinated, iced black and/or orange tea until bedtime. It never really occurs to me to deviate from that norm except when we are on stage or out for a special occasion. Maybe I would be more inspired if I had something creative out of which to drink, like the ones found in this next Call. It isn’t just about pottery either…

CALL for ENTRIES: Sensory Overload

Posted on April 26, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

an APPLE a day

So I picked a peck of peppers today. Not really. But I did buy a bushel of apples out of cold storage from my local orchard. I just couldn’t wait any longer for a sensory overload. I usually wait for the first bite of sauteed ramps, but that wasn’t enough this year. So, I am home with a bushel of Mountain York’s. This week will be filled with the making of apple sauce, apple chips, apple butter, and fresh apples in everything from chicken salad to peanut butter sandwiches and pancakes. An orchard grown apple (even out of cold storage) is overwhelming abundant in flavor. I can’t wait. You don’t have to wait either; this Call is looking for YOUR sensory overload. Love this theme…

LEEKS

It is ramp season again! I love many, many things about living in the Great Smoky Mountains, but ramps are a Spring favorite for my family. I appreciate the ability to forage for ramps, but if you are a less adventurous resident, our local farmers’ markets have a growing availability of ramps in gorgeous colors and varieties. They are spectacular as the highlight of a tomato onion tart for brunch or just marinated in your best homemade vinaigrette. This next Call is looking for your favorite takes on all thing plant life.

STEAM

My son is learning to cook. More accurately, my husband & I are forcing our son to cook dinner once per week. He has shown no really interest in producing meals–only eating them. So, we are not giving him an option. My concern is that if he doesn’t learn how, he’ll be forced to eat commercially-processed crap his entire life. He doesn’t like cooking. Doing anything solo the first time is scary, but my kiddo has turned it into a pressure-cooked affair. Let’s hope it gets easier. This next Call is YOUR chance to do art solo. Don’t stress, just submit a proposal…

Check out this great Call for Entries from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) for Exhibition Opportunities at the Todd Art Gallery (Murfreesboro, TN). A great place for YOUR solo show…

chaste crackers
SINFUL CHOCOLATE

Food legends abound. Every time I think I have heard them all, another creeps us. Did you know s’mores are meant to curb sexual desire? Well, kind of. Sylvester Graham, the inventor of the graham cracker, was a minister that created an entire lifestyle including the consumption of this self-proclaimed “bland” graham crackers as a way to control wild sexual urges. We’re thinking he wouldn’t approve of the debauchery that is marshmallow and chocolate though. This next Call wants your best work surrounding a legend. Fun theme with an IMMINENT DEADLINE…

Folktales & Legends

Folktales and legends blur fact and fiction; seeded in the truth, they grow into stories both fantastical and far-fetched.

NOTIFICATION: Unindicated; however, work must be delivered by April 3, 2015.

ENTRY FEE:
None

JURORS: Artists Dennis McNett (TX) and Joseph Velasquez (WI) use printmaking to tell stories through images. This summer, they will create larger-than-life Connecting Communities projects based on an original folktale inspired by Sheboygan culture and Wisconsin folklore.

SALES: The Arts Center will retain 25% commission if your work is sold. You will be paid 75% of the retail price for sold works within 45 days of the close of the exhibition. Please price your work accordingly

FOR LOVING YOU

Something borrowed, something new; something green, something like glue. If I am married to food, the heroes & villians in our relationship are well-defined. Despite my best efforts, potatoes continue to fight against me in the form of chips, fries & luscious, comforting soup. They aren’t inherently evil, but they do have a tendency to lean toward the dark side of gluttony for me. The heroes, conversely, tend to be green & roasted–fresh Brussels sprouts, snap beans & crowns of broccoli. As I continue to fight the good fight, here’s a great Call that will allow you to fight your own battles. LOVE this venue…

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Heroes & Villians. $25 entry, epic jurors & great art, time & time again. Take a look…

HERO

What would we do without the iconic dishes that make up the safety net? You know the ones…everyone likes some version of it. They tend to be my “go to” meals on nights when I have to plan in advance. Since I don’t know what anyone will be in the mood for, I hit the highlights. Tonight is spaghetti night. No matter who is coming, I can cover vegetarian, vegan & gluten-free if need be. This Call is all about iconic art categories. Please investigate this one. If you work in 2-D, there is probably a way to make this work for you…

I know you often leave the conversation not feeling like nothing is accessible. I like THIS opportunity. If you work in 2-D, don’t dismiss this Call.

I have never been a water drinker. I prefer cold-brewed, black tea–decaf, no ice. But, I do force myself to drink a few glasses a day. But I never cease to be amazed by the bizarre marketing methods used to sell water to us at a premium. You can buy water from melted icebergs, from springs at the base of Mt. Figi & even from the demilitarized zone between North & South Korea. This next Call leaves the source of your water to you. Take a look…
