BITS OF BEANIE

I’m torn about chili with beans. I love it; I do. And, I live with an acne-prone teenager. And, kidney beans are high in zinc which helps fight acne. But, the side effects of consuming large amounts of kidney beans, or any beans for that matter, are daunting. Let’s leave it at that. This next Call is good for the face–without the side effects. 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…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art of Brands (a new AAAD sponsor) for Iconic Images. There is no entry fee, and this could be a great way to earn money from your art. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: So many of you have talked to me about selling your work w/o being bogged down running a gallery or about art fairs or gallery representation. 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. Some of you might consider simply doing what you already do but direct some content to suit this purpose. It won’t be for everyone, but I think it is a valid option for a lot of you.

Art of Brands is just beginning to fill out their categories, so be sure to let them know if you have work that you think might fit but isn’t currently represented.

DEADLINE: Ongoing entries wanted. *For my favorite artistic procrastinators, don’t worry, I’ll post this Call for Entries at least once per quarter for a while just in case you are too busy to enter today.

NOTIFICATION: Within 72 hours of completing the sign-up process

CURATORS: A committee of members with backgrounds in art

BREAKFAST

Gender rolls are “squishy” at my house. My husband does most of the cooking. I am the disciplinarian. Even our mail comes bizarrely addressed since I didn’t take his last name. It works for us. It is what we know. And, well, the food is good. 🙂 I use #imarriedforthefood a lot. This next Call explores gender identity & the experience of being trans. If this isn’t the Call for you, please pass it along…

TO HANDLE

Mozzarella-making is at a standstill at my house. Okay, to be truthful, no one has ever mistaken this house for a cheese factory. But lately, we’ve suffered the loss of one digital thermometer after another. They don’t just stop; the temps slowly start veering from accurate. I don’t normally advocate technology-forward kitchen gadgetry, but a digital thermometer results in far fewer failed batches of cheese–when it works. I think it may be time to just shell out the bucks for one I KNOW won’t die easily. I surrender. You should surrender your digital art to this next call. Take a look…

Stuffed cabbage is a recipe that takes me back to my childhood. My grandmother had such a talent for making perfect little rolls.

Ethnic grocery stores are gateway habits for foodies. My favorite Cuban cookbook led me to my local Hispanic grocery in search of ingredients for authentic congri, and I came home with products I cannot pronounce and for which I have no use.

CALL for Entries: Still Life / Life Still

Cooking has moved into slow motion in my house. As much as I want to hurry Spring along, I am reminded of our current Winter status by the icy wind that greets me at my front door each morning. So, my slow cooker lives in a perpetual circuit from counter to refrigerator to sink to counter to refrigerator to sink–almost daily. Tonight is lentil soup with bacon. This next Call wants to see what happens when life stills completely. An intriguing take on a traditional form…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Still Life / Life Still

The study of inanimate objects; subject matter, placement and compositional balance imply meaning that surmount everyday functionality. Historically, a still life composition is an array of commonplace objects, inert and set in space. These objects often include natural components such as plants, fruits, vegetables, nuts, flowers accompanied by man made objects like dishes, boxes, mirrors and vases within an interior setting at eye level like a table top. Darkroom Gallery wants to contextually explore the Still Life; some may take a traditional approach. Others may see Still Life/Life Still as a vehicle to explore new artistic possibilities, in form, function or to convey political or emotive meanings. Objects caught in their natural surroundings & documented on the fly can make just as poignant an image, i.e., Life Still. — from darkroomgallery.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+
