NUTS
to milk

My first taste of coconut milk, and I was sold. It isn’t always that way. Beets took 20 years to get on my good side. But coconut milk is good in everything. Granted, I prefer the high fat canned version, but I’m even enamored using the carton in the frig for everything from breakfast cereal to hot cocoa–and then there is the homemade ice cream, yum.

CALL for ENTRIES: 52nd Masur

Posted on December 4, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

EARLY
to rise?

Breakfast is beloved in my house. Everywhere I have ever lived, including some time in the Virgin Islands, breakfast has been the biggest meal of the day because it was always the cheapest. Even tiny islands in the Caribbean can raise chickens instead of importing eggs. So, a cheeseburger might be $18, but breakfast was always under $5. Those days have passed, and breakfast can be a pricey endeavor. It is apparently even more expensive if you get up a little later and call it brunch. Start your morning with this next Call because it is definitely cheaper than brunch. 🙂 Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 52nd Annual Juried Exhibition from the Masur Museum of Art (Monroe, LA). $10 entry fee, no commission, and the gallery is stunning. This is a great opportunity!

These commissioned projects aim to forge meaningful interactions between artists and diverse groups of people while acknowledging a turn toward research-based and ephemeral site-specific approaches in contemporary art. In 2014 Firmin co-chaired (with Julian Cox) the Association of Art Museum Curators’ annual conference in Detroit, and moderated the panel Urban Ecologies and Cultural Exchange.

CALL for ARTISTS: Pricing your ART!

Posted on December 1, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

RECIPE
for success

I hoard recipes in a little Campbell’s Soup box on my kitchen counter top. I also post them to a private group on FB & pin them to a board in Pinterest too. Honestly, I rarely follow a recipe, but I learn so much from how other people cook. Art should be the same way. I hope you are out there looking at art online & OFF line. Share & try not to be afraid of copy cats. Remember, what makes your work YOURS can’t ever be duplicated.

If it weren’t for sharing, this blog wouldn’t exist. Just in case you forgot how it all got started in the first place, here is a link. I share my experiences, recommendations & cautionary tales about food and art with all of you. But, I also share it in a series of career development workshops at the Arts & Culture Alliance in Knoxville, TN. I have one coming up in February on How to Price your Artwork, and I would love to have your input. The “right” answer is… whatever works for you. But, the real question is… does is REALLY WORK for you? Are you selling art? So, this call asks that you share your recipe for success…with me.

Check out this Call for Artists from AAAD for Pricing your Art, a call for feedback. Yours truly needs your help making sure that I am passing along a recipe for success to novice and emerging artists. Don’t worry, there’s a reward…

CALL for ARTISTS:
Pricing your ART!

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: December 15, 2014

NOTIFICATION of AWARDS: By December 23, 2014

ENTRY FEE: None, of course

AWARDS: I will choose 1 out of every 5 feedback forms (at random) to award a FREE Artist to Love listing & post ($15 value).

*Editor’s Note: The only REQUIRED information below is your Name, Location & Pricing strategy. I will NEVER give away or sell your information to anyone EVER. I will not reveal your pricing strategy to any with your name attached. The information will be aggregated to form a range of working options and prevailing theories for new artists that need the assistance. I will be the ONLY ONE that reads the information you fill out below. Please note, when you submit the form, it will be emailed to me at submitart@artandartdeadlines.com. If you are uncomfortable using the form below, feel free to email the information to me directly.

I want to encourage you to share your best practices below. Do you price on whim? Do you track your studio time? Do you have a formula (cost of materials+ 2x hourly labor–for example). Do you have an average cost per square inch that you apply generally. Do you charge the same amount when you are not paying commission? Please tell us more… (continues below the form)

[vfb id=2]

After the February workshop, I will publish all the information so that everyone can benefit whether you are in Knoxville or the other side of the planet!

Give us all the details for a chance to be an Artist to Love!

CALL for ENTRIES: 47th Octagon National

NOT CORN

What’s behind the naming of state foods? The obvious answer is that it honors a crop vital to a state’s economy and/or identity, right? Wisconsin has milk. Florida has oranges. And so on. But what about the dozen or so U.S. states that does not claim a state food. Iowa has a state rock (the geode) but no state food. If you have any idea why, I’d love to know. In the meantime, here’s a Call from an arts organization that Iowa should be proud to claim. Investigate…

STAPLE

I have grits for breakfast 3+ days per week. I have a favorite brand of organic, non-GMO grits that never cease to inspire. On a busy morning, it is scrambled eggs over the top of cheese grits. The next morning, the refrigerated left over grits are cut into cakes that are sauteed and used as the base for Eggs Benedict. This morning it was Charleston-style milk grits with a poached egg & chorizo. There is no end to the independent spirit of this simple staple. This next Call is an inspiration of grits proportions as well. Take a look…

BACON
borders

The creativity of food preparation has fundamentally changed on a mainstream level in the past 20 years. A larger segment of the population cooks with abandon now. The great divide between foods destined to be either savory or sweet seems to have slowly disappeared. Chocolate is as likely to show up in an entree as bacon is to show up in a dessert. This next Call encourages you to explore and challenge boundaries presented by both materials & concepts. Take a look…

tiny
TREATS

I am fascinated by small food & small restaurants. There is something special about the smallest of goodies served in the smallest of places. One automatically assumes great care has been taken because you have less real estate literally & figuratively to make an impression. Sel et Gras in NYC was always on my list to try, but I heard it closed. Do you have any suggestions I should try? I suggest you take part in this next study in tiny art. This could be a good opportunity for some of you.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Pitt County Arts Council (Greenville, NC) for The Tiny Art Show at Emerge Gallery & Art Center. If you are looking to add a line to your resume from a legitimate arts organization, this is a great resource. Take a look…

My ultimate comfort food is cheese or nearly any kind. Weird, eh? But, I’m sure some of you claim oatmeal or hamburgers, pizza or kale chips as YOUR comfort food. Sometimes the comfort of another is just enough to get you to try and love a new food. This next Call belongs to a gallery that I find to be a comfort. Try it for yourself; you just may love it…

ROOTS

I spent the majority of my life hating beets, but I was so very wrong. They are my favorite color on the planet; that should have been my first hint. The beautiful shade of purplish-red found in sugar beets was the first clue that they held an earthly luscious quality not to be missed. Roasted or pickled, warmed or chilled, I can’t get enough of them now. This next Call wants to know all you love about hue and saturation. Let them see your best…

JUROR: Lynda Schlosberg is a Boston-based abstract artist who creates intricate and process-oriented paintings that are constructed using a series of interwoven layers of meticulous repeating patterns of dots, dashes, and grids using highly saturated, vibrant and illusory colors. It is through her skillful utilization of color theory and pattern that she constructs spatial illusions that expand and recede simultaneously, when viewed, fully exercise the mind and the eye.

Schlosberg received her MFA from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University, and her BFA from Ohio University College of Art. She is represented by Susan Maasch Fine Art in Portland, ME and by Kingston Gallery in Boston. She has recently partnered with the non-profit Art in Giving. She maintains a studio in Waltham, MA.
