THERE A VEGGIE
everywhere a veggie

I am running out of time to find a place to plant a garden.  When I moved to a smaller home while we searched for a new home or property to build on, I knew I wouldn’t be able to plant here.  So, I may have to resort to a window garden and a few containers this year.  I could live with mostly herbs and lettuce as long a my husband could coax tomatoes out of the containers.  Tomatoes hate me; don’t ask.  Vegetables are my interpretation of a garden. This next Call wants your interpretation of a garden.  Don’t dismiss this one without investigating…

Check out this Call for Entries from Artcenter Traverse City and the Botanic Garden at the Historic Barns Park (Michigan) for Art in the Garden.  A traditional garden theme, but open media & liberal interpretation.  This could be an interesting challenge…

Grocery shopping is often a small world experience for me.  I’ll be thinking of having teriyaki wings, and my husband will come home with the chicken.  Or, I’ll be dreaming of pineapple-infused rice for my salmon, and my stop at the grocery store with produce a beautifully ripe pineapple that just happens to be on sale.  I’m just lucky that way, I suppose.  Just the other day, I was thinking of a couple of pieces I saw in someone’s personal art collection, and what do you know–the juror pops up in this call.  It’s a small world…

I truly appreciate having less space.  Since I have moved to my downsized home in November, I have conquered most of the challenges of storage by ridding my home of excess crap.  But, food storage IS still a problem.  I tripped across square apples, and now that I make my own applesauce this could come in handy.  But, call me when they drop from $7 PER apple.  Luckily, this next Call for squares has no entry fee.  Take a look…

Seafood usually conjures the image of a beach-front town for most, but I always think of Savannah, Georgia.  I’m not crazy about sand, so I’d spend my lunchtime at the River House over a bowl of lobster & crab bisque over a sandy crab boil at the beach any day.  Going to the opening of this next Call would be the perfect excuse to put away some seafood.  Take a look…

RE: Tale

Everybody has a story to tell. We are constantly creating tales in our heads. They might be our own doing, they might be partially vicarious or perhaps completely borrowed. These accounts often get restructured and retold, evolving each time. This is not unlike contemporary art, which by nature constantly strives for reinterpretation.

Fitting the concept of something that is partially untrue in a gallery called “Non-Fiction” seems to be ill-fitting. However, borrowing from the gallery’s vision statement, everybody’s tales, whether personal or fictitious, “inspire life-changing dialogue.” After all, Aesop never needed a true story to communicate his vision.

In today’s contemporary art scene, artists have deconstructed the idea of a story to fit their medium and surface preferences. This juried exhibition strives to showcase the breadth of interpretations of the concept of “visual storytelling.”

The only thing missing from California cuisine is butter.  It is characterized by local, fresh ingredients and foods low in saturated fats and high in fresh vegetables and fruits with lean meats and seafood from the California coast with special attention paid to presentation–delicious & beautiful.  But why leave out the butter?  And, if it is from local, grass-fed cows, even better.  Can’t we just learn to play well with others?  The prize for this next Call hails from the land of California cuisine.  Is this opportunity the one for you?

Today I spied organic alphabet soup in the grocery store.  There is some humor to be found in the idea that someone invested in eating organically would also want a food so tortured & processed that it can spell out words.  And, I don’t believe anyone is REALLY teaching their children to read with soup.  So do we really need to communicate with food, literally, or am I just a huge hypocrite for constantly preach about the transformative & communicative power of food?  Okay, I’m a hypocrite, ha.  But, this next Call speaks to the power of text; however, I suspect they are not searching for alphabet pasta mosaics.  Check out this fantastic venue…

I spent my pre-adolescence & formative culinary years in a small Georgia town.  It wasn’t all peanuts but more a montage of scenes including fried foods, all-you-can-eat buffets, red-clay stained feet & knees, and demolition derbies.  But in hindsight, I think those scenes were more about my family and less about the place– Marietta, Georgia.  This next Call is proof of the fantastic opportunities & venues found in Marietta/Cobb County.  I am in love with this venue.  Please don’t miss this opportunity…
