GARBANZOS

A hummus monster lives at my house.  He can go through a tub of hummus a day with corn chips, carrots, pork rinds; it matters not.  We often make something instead of buying it to reduce the amount of ingredients and unpronounceable crap in our food.  However, if I am going to give in and make 40 spice hummus for the little monster in my house, I’ll have to give up the “fewer ingredients” efforts. (Check out the recipe.)  This next Call is looking for the best 40 ingredients for their show.  Take a look…

fantasies

I never ceased to be amazed by what conjures a memory.  I was contemplating what to send to my 92 year old grandmother in a care package, and of course, food is always her favorite (genetics).  Sudden I was 5 years old watching her dump marshmallows & coconut in cocktail fruit and excitedly explaining all about the food of the gods… ambrosia, a fantasy food.  Okay, maybe the genetic predisposition has changed a little over the years, ha. This next Call wants YOUR idea of fact or fantasy.  But, I don’t think they are looking for ambrosia…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Fact & Fantasy

 

Photographers have a wonderful ability to turn ordinary surroundings into an otherworldly realm. Optical illusions, chemistry, and the mechanics of modern tools, have opened new possibilities for artists to untether their imaginations. Artists exploring make-believe use their dreams and memories as subject matter. Their work distorts reality, making everyday objects and environments alien and magical. Photographers construct their own fantasies, creating alternate worlds that straddle the line between reality and fiction.  For Fact and Fantasy, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images that explore the unearthly and strange.

off the old block

Cheese food is not cheese.  You’re allowed to like American cheese; feel free.  But, don’t take comfort in the idea that you are eating a natural cheese.  It is manufactured from milk, whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, saturated oils; emulsifiers, salt & artificial coloring–and that’s assuming you aren’t consuming a diet variety.  Think of it this way…if the cheese can’t stand alone, then maybe it shouldn’t have the spotlight in any of your meals.  This next Call is looking for a big cheese (or six) to put in the spotlight.  Are you a big cheese?

Check out this Call for Entries from Penn State Altoona (Altoona, PA) for the Ivyside Juried Art Competition for solo shows at the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts.  The entry fee is only $10 for up to 24 images.  This is a great academic opportunity at a really low price!

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.
