CALL for ART ENTRIES: The Guild

STICKY SWEET

When I think of salt water taffy, I think of the mountains. Odd, eh? I suspect that salt water taffy got its start on seaside boardwalks, but it seems every small mountain town has a great little store front that lets you watch taffy being made. I know that here in Gatlinburg, there is more than one. I wonder if Blue Ridge, GA (home of this Call) has a taffy shop. Sounds like a great reason to attend the reception…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Southern Appalachian Artist Guild for their Annual National Juried Show which will be exhbiited in the Richard Low Evans Gallery in Blue Ridge, GA, one of “America’s Top Art Communities.” I know that discussing art sales is like talking about religion or politics in polite company (in bad taste), but I will say it anyway… this could be a great opportunity to sell some artwork.

FORGIVE ME, please

I think in food cliches. People like me are the reason pumpkin pie candles are sold scores of people longing for fall.  And, when I think of Colorado, I think of hot chocolate after skiing.  Hot chocolate after skiing is lovely, but Colorado is home to some of the finest restaurants in the US.  They deserve more consideration that my cliched hot chocolate.  I apologize.  This next Call is from Colorado; maybe there will be hot chocolate at the reception.

I talk a good food game.  My culinary tastes seem brave to some, but they aren’t really.  I know what I like, but I’m a chicken about trying some stuff just like you.  I cannot bring myself to even try something called head cheese.  I get that it is mainly just meat in aspic, but it sounds gross and doesn’t win huge points with me for aesthetics either.  One of you should take a picture of yourself eating head cheese and send it to me.  The first one that does will get a little ad in the side bar for a couple of months.  Make it a good picture though… ’cause I WILL publish it before you get your ad.  I wonder if head cheese is an eligible topic for this next Call for Entries.  Take a look…

I love Cuban food.  The first time I ate Cuban food was in a strip mall in Goose Creek, SC just outside Charleston …no kidding.  With a strong military influence in the area before the shut down of the military base and the naval yard, international influence on food was pretty common.  The best Cuban food I ever tasted was in Miami and is responsible for my love affair with plaintains.  This next Call offers you an opportunity to sample some of the best food in the world during your time at this opening…

When people hear “American Food” they think of a homogenous buffet of beige food, but American food is a great quilt of influences from around the world.  For example, New Mexican Cuisine is also very different than the preferred Tex-Mex style of Mexican-American food in Texas and Arizona.  One of its most defining characteristics is the dominance of the New Mexican chile—in red and green varieties, depending on the stage of ripeness when picked.  Other distinctive elements include blue corn, the stacked enchilada, and sopapillas into which honey is added moments before eating.  Eat a little for me at the opening of this next show…

JUROR: New Mexican cowboy artist Robert “SHOOFLY” Shufelt has created graphite drawings that have become an important thread in the fabric of Western Art, earning world wide recognition. His work illuminates the bare bones of an artist’s craft and portrays the physical evidence of his perception. They are celebrations of a dreamer who has allowed his dream to become reality with all its grit and honesty, yet he still finds the work endlessly nteresting and satisfying. He has an artist’s vision of cowboys as they can only be around another cowboy, unposed and unself-conscious. They are men who practice their vision of excellence in whatever they do, leaving it up to the rest of us to determine whether they’re working or playing. These disciples of the “cowboy way” are Shoofly’s top hands and his work is forever honored by their friendship.
