CALL for ENTRIES: Nat’l Juried 2012

Posted on October 16, 2012October 16, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

HOME GROWN

I believe in buying locally grown food. I’d like to say my motivating factor is green; however, truth-be-told, it just tastes better. Something that travels 50 miles to my table is just going to be fresher than something that travels 500 or even 5000 miles to my table. This next Call is local FOR ME, but it is a great opportunity for some of you as well…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Arts & Culture Alliance for the National Juried Exhibition of 2012. This is a great show run by a great organization. I’ve shown here several times. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Illumination of Imagination

Posted on October 13, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

TEA FOR ONE
coffee for none

My husband is a tea drinker, and it is my fault. So, I don’t like the smell of brewed coffee. (I hear the nasty emails being pecked out on keyboards across the world.) I haven’t drank a cup of coffee in 18+ years. I think brewed coffee smells like skunk spray. No joke. So for a long time, my husband used a French press because the odor was lessened. But then the plunger on the press broke, and neither of us ordered a new one. Now, he drinks Earl Grey every morning. I feel a little bad. (Not really.) Hobbits like tea, or so we are led to believe. You figure out how that is connected to this next Call by investigating for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries from Six Summit Gallery (Ivoryton, CT) for Illumination of Imagination! The entry fee can be as low as $10. This could be a great opportunity for you to sell art AND the juror is very well documented. Take a look…

REMINDER: Open Call in Monterey

Posted on October 11, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

OH MY DARLIN’

It is clementine season. Every year around this time, clementines start popping up in the grocery store, and every year I muse over the fact that they seem more like summer fruit than winter. Did you know that in California (where they were grown as early as 1904), a lot of people call them Christmas Oranges? Who knew. This next Call also hails from California. Take a look!

Check out this Open Call for Proposals from the Monterey Peninsula College Art Gallery in Monterey, CA. The entry fee is extremely low, and if you’re looking for a solo show…this could be your opportunity!

CALL for ENTRIES: Emotion

Posted on October 10, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CHEESY
love

I am emotionally attached to goat cheese. I recognize how very irrational that is, but the fact remains that “I love goat cheese.” I dream about it. Eating herb-crusted goat cheese on freshly-backed foccacia with a few capers is the height of emotional eating for me. It can take away almost ANY bad day. No joke. Luckily, my bad days are not too frequent, ha. This next Call wants to know about your Emotional quirks. Don’t miss this chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Wine Label Contest

Posted on October 9, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

HAILING
a cab

I would hurt someone for a pepper-crusted cut of ahi right now. Understand, ahi is not a common food in my house. I’m too cheap, and Gatlinburg isn’t really known for more exotic varieties of fish. But some days you wake up and you just want what you want. You know what would be even better? A big glass of Cabernet Sauvignon to go with the ahi tuna. Okay, the Cab I can pull off pretty easily. This next Call gives you a perfect reason to sample a little Cabernet Sauvignon as well. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Cake

Posted on October 8, 2012October 8, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

SWEET
STUFF!

I eat more cake than I’d like to admit. In my household, it is most often in the form of cupcakes. It is not because I prefer the taste or portion control of cupcakes. But I find that cupcakes are easier to freeze and store. Did you know that freezing cake (or cupcakes) before they have completely cooled traps some of the moisture in the cake? It also makes them easier to cut or decorate. This next Call will test the depth of your taste for the sweet stuff. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: LBIF Small Works

Posted on October 7, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

LESS please

You know I love tiny foods. We’ve talked about micro greens, baby vegetables and amuse bouche more times than I can count; however, sometimes a smaller size is just practical. I am addicted to spaghetti squash, and I am constantly on the hunt for the smallest one I can find. How much food a spaghetti squash produces is just crazy. This next Call is all about size…regardless of the reason. Take a look…

LAZY NIGHTS

I had salmon “en papillote” tonight. Fear not, it just means “in parchment”. Contrary to what you might think, it is not the French-cool-factor that leads me down the path of parchment cooking. (Okay, maybe a little.) The real reason is because it is healthy since it requires so little fat. Okay, that’s a lie too. The truth? There is virtually no cleanup. No dirty saute pans. Yep, laziness has lead to French cooking. Go figure. This next Call is all about the paper too. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Canvas Label

Posted on October 1, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

LET IT
breathe

Is it too early for mulled wine? Don’t tell me that you don’t know what mulled wine is either. It is usually a great red (I prefer merlot), gently warmed with mulling spices–usually allspice, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, star anise and various dried fruit peels. Try it; you won’t be sorry. This next Call may be best read with your own glass of wine. Investigate…
