with my satay, please

Food has interrelation–be it natural or forced.  In the US, peanut butter is only naturally related to grape jelly, but it is fantastic with raspberry jam.  PB&J has a distinct meaning apart from its separate components.  My immediate connection with peanut butter is peanut sauce, but my connection to PB&J is childhood comfort.  Odd, eh?  This next show is about the interrelation of work, one deriving meaning from the other.  I like this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Northbrook Public Library (Northbrook, IL) for their annual juried show, called Social Media Artshow this year. The entry fee is reasonable. There is NO COMMISSION taken by the show promoters, and this year’s theme is an interesting twist from the norm! Don’t miss this one…

Social Media Artshow 2013

 

Art is the original social media: it reaches out and draws together, trying to make connections. It incites discussion and draws meaning through relationships. We are looking for works that are either created in a series or multiple elements (like diptychs) that generate meaning through their interrelation, or works that react to existing famous artworks. The mathematics are simple: one is quotidian and two is exponential.

ELIGIBILITY: The show is open to artists 18 years and older.

MEDIA: 2 and 3 dimensional art executed within 3 years of entry date and not previously been displayed in the library.

DEADLINE: May 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: July 31, 2013

Contact information, provided by the artist, will be listed in the online and printed show catalog to facilitate sales. The only sale to be handled by the NPL will be the purchase of the first-place award winner.

Did I ever tell you I looked into moving into a pickle factory?  No joke.  It was a part of the Paducah Artist Relocation program.  I fell in love with the beams.  Apparently it once housed a tamale manufacturing operation once as well.  Never fear, it smelled like neither.  In the end, I chose the mountains over the pickles.  This next Call hails from Paducah.  Don’t miss this opportunity…

The natural result of my food obsession is that I have tried every diet on the planet, or so it would seem.  One of the funniest (and most futile) was to use only 6″ x 6″ square plates.  The thought is that you could fool your brain into thinking you had eaten a full-size plate of food while only actually consuming the smaller portion.  The one problem with that plan is that I’m not that easily suggestible.  Is anyone?  This is the next Call is a far better use of the 6″ square.  Take a look…

I would, on occasion, gladly work for food, but did you know that the Egyptians that built the pyramids were often paid with beer, bread and onions.  I don’t think so; not this girl.  As I have previously mention, I’m not a beer kinda girl, and as much as I love bread, a girl cannot live by bread and onions alone.  This next Call’s fee cannot be paid in bread and onions, but it is Pyramid inspired.  Investigate…

surprise

I am addicted to chocolate.  And, I mistakenly assume that if it is chocolate, I will love it.  Wrong.  You can screw up chocolate.  Milk chocolate is not my favorite version, but done well, there is a time and place for milk chocolate.  But every once in a while, I am offered chocolate and it is grainy, infused with artificial flavors or so sweet that it makes my teeth hurt.  It is always a reminder to mind what I put in my mouth–a warning that I assume is unnecessary for most people.  This next Call could easily be assumed to be a painting call, but it isn’t.  This is a great surprise…

Working It Out

 

The Painting Center, a gallery in the heart of Chelsea, announces a call for entries for its upcoming juried exhibition entitled WORKING IT OUT, running from June 18th to July 13th, 2013.

Artists of all disciplines begin their creative process with preparatory drawings. This enables visual problem solving throughout the execution of an artwork that is both fluid and beautiful. Drawing can be an exploration of materials, mark making, the emotional tenor of a piece, compositional arrangements or color. Working drawings are the visual manifestation of a work in progress; a working idea. Typically, this work is not seen by the public.

Learn more from The Painting Center!

These are private musings that reflect thought processes. They are, by definition, incomplete. This exhibition will allow the viewer to see the private world of the artist’s creative process.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA:  Artists working in all media are encouraged to submit their working drawings.

DEADLINE:  April 15, 2013

NOTIFICATION:  April 25, 2013

The holy grail of culinary education is the Cordon Blue, and more recently, the Culinary Institutes of America.  I attended Johnson & Wales for a year and continue to be grateful for all that I learned.  I put me on the path to being the food-lover that I am.  And honestly, without the foodie side of me, I’m not sure this blog would have made it.  It gave me a brand, a platform if you will, to set AAAD apart from all the art deadlines out there.  Many feel that museum exhibits are the holy grail of art shows, and this next Call could be your holy grail.  Take a look…

for every season

I talk a lot about food.  I take food for granted.  I have been in some pretty horrible financial situations over the years, but I always knew that there would be a next meal for me and my family.  Not everyone has that luxury.  So, while I blather on about the pros and cons of of reducing dairy in my diet, there ARE people in my community, and yours, that wish whether or not they have dairy was their CHOICE.  This next Call is artistic in nature, related to food, and may be one of the hardest Calls  to get you to follow through.  Please investigate…

Check out the Call to Action known as Empty Bowls.  Many of you get upset at the never ending requests that you, as an artist, receive to donate your work to some non-profit or the other.  Here’s your chance to be a part of creating an event that makes a difference in YOUR community in a way that YOU can control.  Please just take a look…

Empty Bowls

 

Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger and was created by The Imagine Render Group.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists

MEDIA:  The basic premise is simple: Potters and other craftspeople, educators and others work with the community to create handcrafted bowls. Guests are invited to a simple meal of soup and bread.

DEADLINE:  On-going as long as someone in your community is hungry

SALES:  In exchange for a cash donation, guests are asked to keep a bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. The money raised is donated to an organization working to end hunger and food insecurity.

It is the collective genius of all the people involved that has made Empty Bowls what it has become. Events have now taken place across the United States and in at least a dozen other countries. Many millions of dollars have been raised and donated to hunger-fighting organizations. We could never have imagined all the things people have done or all the ways the project has touched people.

Learn more about Empty Bowls!

Each individual or group organizing an event designs it around the needs of their own community and is responsible for their own event. We ask that all such events are called Empty Bowls so that the idea can continue to spread.

Please make your event inclusive, insist that it maintain a high level of integrity, include an educational component to raise awareness, and give the money raised to an organization helping to feed people in need.

The largest hunger-relief organization in the United States, Feeding America, reports that the nation’s food banks could soon be overwhelmed by demand. Statistics show that 1 out of 8 Americans struggle with food insecurity every day. Millions of people have lost their jobs during the most recent recession and the number of food stamp recipients has increased dramatically. Your help is needed now more than ever.
