CALL for ENTRIES: Sense of Place 2015

Learn more from the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art!TOMATOES & GRAPES
gardens in bloom

I pursued the holy grail of dining in the Holy City recently.  My meal began on the porch of a grand Southern home in historic Charleston, SC overlooking a garden of heirloom blooms cultivated on the property.  My meal began with a hand-propagated, rare tomato varietal and a gorgeous regional wine fermented from heirloom grapes.  Even blind folded, I couldn’t have expected to be anywhere other than one of the sparkling jewel cities of the culinary culture to be experienced only in the South.  The sense of place amplifies the food experience just as the sense of place in this one-of-a-kind Southern gallery exalts every work found within.  Claim your spot now…

CALL for ENTRIES: Female Spirit

Learn more from the R Dixon Gallery!pink SUCKS

Did you know straws are a “girl thing”?  Me neither.  While grabbing a quick snack while shopping last week, a server looked at my son and husband and said, “I know straws are a girl thing, but I brought them for you guys too.”  Have I missed out on some American sub-culture subtlety about beverage consumption along the way?  I’m not certain how a straw can embody the female spirit; however, this next Call is asking for art that does just that.  Take a look…

Do you peel tomatoes?  I have a friend that doesn’t like “edges” on her food.  No joke.  She does the standard stuff like no crust on bread, but she also peels EVERY fruit & vegetable–strawberries, grapes, and yes, even tomatoes.  I peel kiwi, bananas & canteloupe, but some stuff really is just easier to eat.  Is it just me?  This next Call wants ALL your edges (and curves)Take a look…

Edges & Curves 4

 

Challenging the myth that cutting edge art is created only by young artists, The Haggus Society & Julie Montenegro State Farm, are hosting Edges & Curves 4.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to artists age 40+

MEDIA:  2D art (no larger than 32″ x 44″) & small 3D art (no larger than 14″ x 10″ x 8″)

ENTRY FEE:  $12.50 for non-members. No entry fee for Hags.

JUROR:  Terri Lloyd is a San Francisco Bay Area transplant who has called Los Angeles home since 1980.  Under the influence of a Sixties latch-key-kid youth, the circumstances of a working class life did not provide the conventional means to an art education or experience.  Introduced to the Apple computer in the 1980s, a love affair with digital technology was born.  Lloyd’s career has been a two-pronged path between fine & commercial arts.

In 2010, Lloyd retired from the commercial arts path to pursue a lifelong interest of fine arts.  She continues to become more active as a leader in community arts organizations and activities.  When not working in the studio, Lloyd runs The Haggus Society, a feminist art collective for women over the age of 40.

SALES:  The Haggus Society does not automatically take a commission; however, a small donation in the event of sales would be appreciated.  Please include this in your pricing.  If a work is not for sale please indicate with NFS.

*Just one other note.  I showed work in the first Edges & Curves exhibit after meeting Terri Lloyd through the Featured Artist contest.  Since then, I have found a community of creatives I love and enjoyed benefit of a solo show in L.A.  Now I am a lifetime member, AND they are lifetime sponsors of this site.  I can’t imagine not having these folks as a part of my creative life.  It is amazing what $12.50 can do.

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…

“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

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

Learn more from Whitdel Arts!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…

I’ve just gotten used to not being cold, and recipe sites are already touting Fall foods like acorn squash.  Cut it out.  We’ve all learned to live with the sales of holiday-themed items a full two to three months BEFORE the holiday.  But, I refuse to start buying winter foods during the bounty of Summer.  Why would I give up a beautiful zucchini blossom for cinnamon-laden, pumpkin-flavored everything?  I simply will not give in on food.  If you want to dream of Fall, this next Call is a BEST sort of reason to think of Fall in advance.  Take a look…

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…

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…
