CALL for ENTRIES: Mosquito Season

Posted on March 28, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

FLEXING MY
mussels

So, I’ve been out of town without my husband. That’s mean’s I have consumed huge amounts of shellfish. He’s allergic, and when he’s not around, I tend to over indulge. I don’t know how anyone lives with wine-steamed mussels with garlic butter. How does so much flavor exist in such a tiny package? Is it wrong that I hope to travel again soon just to have mussels? Maybe so. This next Call is all about packing a big wallop in a small package. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Social Media

NO JELLY
with my satay, please

Food has interrelation–be it natural or forced. In the US, peanut butter is only naturally related to grape jelly, but it is fantastic with raspberry jam. PB&J has a distinct meaning apart from its separate components. My immediate connection with peanut butter is peanut sauce, but my connection to PB&J is childhood comfort. Odd, eh? This next show is about the interrelation of work, one deriving meaning from the other. I like this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Northbrook Public Library (Northbrook, IL) for their annual juried show, called Social Media Artshow this year. The entry fee is reasonable. There is NO COMMISSION taken by the show promoters, and this year’s theme is an interesting twist from the norm! Don’t miss this one…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Social Media Artshow 2013

Art is the original social media: it reaches out and draws together, trying to make connections. It incites discussion and draws meaning through relationships. We are looking for works that are either created in a series or multiple elements (like diptychs) that generate meaning through their interrelation, or works that react to existing famous artworks. The mathematics are simple: one is quotidian and two is exponential.

ELIGIBILITY: The show is open to artists 18 years and older.

MEDIA: 2 and 3 dimensional art executed within 3 years of entry date and not previously been displayed in the library.

DEADLINE: May 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: July 31, 2013

ENTRY FEE: Entry fee is $35. Checks payable to the Northbrook Public Library. A maximum of 3 entries per artist fee will be judged.

JURY PROCESS: Artists should be cognizant that the exhibition is open to the general public & artwork must be viewable for all ages. Pieces will be judged on artistic quality & execution as well as thematic relevance. Artists should consider the theme, Social Media.

SALES & COMMISSION: The NPL does NOT charge a commission for show participation. All sales inquires will be referred to the artists. Contact information, provided by the artist, will be listed in the online and printed show catalog to facilitate sales. The only sale to be handled by the NPL will be the purchase of the first-place award winner.

AWARDS: One (1) $2000 purchase prize, one (1) second place cash award of $1000, one (1) third place cash award of $500, and two (2) Viewer’s Choice cash awards of $200.

I seem to have lost the ability to properly cook chicken. I’m still spot on with fish, but chicken and beef are a lost art for me.

SPINACH!
I want spinach

I want to plant salad greens TODAY, but my husband keeps reminding me that the snow is probably not over for the season and that it got down to 29 degrees last night. I love planting salad greens because they are so temporary. They are seeds one day and less than 6 weeks later they are on my dinner table. I can replant, or I can plant something else. This next show deals with the temporal nature of art and heroes. I love this show…

MOMMIE

I’ve never been accused of being overly maternal. However, my kid will be 14 years old soon, so I must have done something right. He now eats brussel sprouts and asparagus. Another point in my favor–well, OUR favor. It was actually my husband that spent the first 12 years of our kid’s life being the more maternal one. To hell with gender roles. Whatever works is my motto. This next Call wants your slant on being a woman. Approx. 52% of you should have a bird’s eye view of this one…

SMALL PLATE
big stomach

The natural result of my food obsession is that I have tried every diet on the planet, or so it would seem. One of the funniest (and most futile) was to use only 6″ x 6″ square plates. The thought is that you could fool your brain into thinking you had eaten a full-size plate of food while only actually consuming the smaller portion. The one problem with that plan is that I’m not that easily suggestible. Is anyone? This is the next Call is a far better use of the 6″ square. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Rochester Contemporary Art Center (RoCo) for the 6x6x2013. There is no entry fee for up to 6 submissions. This show looks great on your resume, and your work could hang side by side with celebrity artists! One of my favorite shows of the year…

SOMETHING NEW?

There is a downside to being a long-time foodie. As the years have gone by, I don’t have as many first delights. Because the range of food I have tried (both good and bad) is so huge.
