CALL for ENTRIES: Wild Things

Posted on January 26, 2014January 26, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

free
SALAD
anyone?

My frugality DOES know boundaries. The one thing I don’t do is public foraging. It isn’t that I am necessarily opposed to eating wild things, like dandelion greens. Actually, I’m all for it, to be honest. But I am fearful of things unknown that might be sprayed ONTO the wild things. I live on the boundary (within a 1/2 mile) of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but since you cannot legally forage in any National Park, that doesn’t really help me find a safe place to forage. I suppose my wild things will be limited to art, for now–like this next Call. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Sweetwater Center for the Arts (Sewickley, PA) for Wild Things, an exhibit of art with unrestrained spirit. What more could you want than a description like that?

CALL for ENTRIES: Washington Pavilion

Posted on December 23, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

don’t cut the
CAKE

Isn’t it funny how certain seasons suddenly bring about the craving for very specific foods? It never occurs to most people to even think about fruitcake until we start seeing winter holiday decorations appear. My German in-laws (3rd generation via Wisconsin) save kuchen for Christmas. Kuchen is German & approximately translates to “cake,” but I know it as a sort of custard & jam filled sweet-dough, low-rise cake that screams Christmas. Much to my surprise, it is also the state dessert of South Dakota–the home of this next Call. This is a beautiful venue, by the way…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Visual Arts Center at the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science (Sioux Falls, SD) for the Visual Arts Center Juried Exhibition. The entry fee is only $25, and the commission is ONLY 20%! For those of you looking to add a SD show to your resume, here is your chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Emerging Plein Air

Posted on December 19, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

CUTS of cold

It isn’t even officially winter yet, and I am already whining about wanting to picnic. I think it is the prevalence of cold cuts at holiday parties that does this to me. That, or my dogged determination to not be happy in whichever food season I find myself. But, I prefer to think it is the subliminal messaging from cold cuts. Four months and counting until I can eat in the open air again. Speaking of open air, check out this next Call. This is a new category of Call for AAAD. Show them some picnic-style love…

HO, HO…
HOT

When the weather gets cold, I dream of chili peppers. Ridiculous? Maybe. You want hot cocoa, I want hot cocoa too…with a little chili pepper. We’re not that different. Oh, but how I long for a Tortas ahogadas (drowned sandwich) soaked in all of its chili pepper glory. Is it wrong to apply for an artist residency, like the one in this next Call, just to eat a sandwich–a really, really good sandwich? Luckily there are many great reason other than the Tortas ahogadas to apply. Take a look…

stop

Because you know I’ve been a foodie for so many years, it should come as no surprise that my weight has fluctuated for decades. I have been everything from a size 8 to a size 24 over the years. I have given up carbs, given up fat, eaten only fruit, eaten only soup… You name it, and I’ve tried it. Nothing ever worked for long. Then I was forced to quit eating wheat, and my weight stabilizes. Go figure. I’m not a size 8, or a 24, but I haven’t gained or lost more than 2 lbs in 8 months. This next Call is all about YOUR figure. Take a look…

FOOD
photogenic
FOOD

Can we talk about food porn? I think no one will be shocked to hear that I post pictures of my food to social media. Yes, I am one of those people. But what I want to know is why most people highly filter their pics. You don’t OWE it to the restaurant to make their food look better than it is. So, are you taking pictures of your food to document a beautiful meal or fun experience? OR, are you just trying to “one up” your friends? Maybe food pics should just be representational of what your really see before you–kind of like this next call…

REMINDER: Documentary

Posted on December 6, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

OOPS

Am I the only one that is grateful no one documents their cooking methods? Because I enjoy experimenting with food and cooking, things often go a little off course. When the milk you meant to scald curdles, and the onions you meant to caramelize burn and the pie crust meant to be flaky really just crumbles…well, it is good not to have a record of it sometimes. This next Call is looking for your take on documentary, and it doesn’t have to be your cooking. Take a look…

OPEN CALL: Solo Project House

Posted on December 4, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

DINNER
for one

I prefer not to eat alone. It isn’t due to all the ridiculous social stigma attached because I dislike eating alone even at home. When I eat alone, I tend to get sucked into the idea of a gourmet meal which sounds fantastic but takes forever. In the middle of cooking, I break down and eat a “snack” (often the size of a meal) thereby insuring I won’t be hungry by the time dinner is ready to be eaten. I may not like to eat alone, but this next Call is for your work–all alone. And, let’s face it, we all like to SHOW alone…
