CALL for ENTRIES: Collaboration

Posted on May 16, 2016May 16, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

take two & call me after BREAKFAST

Food as medicine has been on my radar for a decade. I appreciate the ability to attempt home remedies through food and supplements. I am not suggesting it is easier, nor am I suggestion it is a solution for all ailments. But, I am intrigued. A family history of arthritis, combined with years of a slight addiction to towering high heels, has resulted in massive joint pain in one of feet. Flair ups are completely manageable with a combination of tart cherries & massive quantities of vitamin C. Drug-resistant pediatric epilepsy is now often treated by mainstream medicine with a ketogenic diet. The collaboration between doctors and nutritionists is inspiring. This Call offers you the opportunity to collaborate with writers. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art Labology for a Collaboration project between visual artists & writers. No entry fee & possible art publication. I like this opportunity…

ARTIST of the Day: Helen Green

Posted on January 11, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

a legend LOST

David Bowie influenced so much of the world — music, fashion, design. He died Sunday after a long battle with cancer. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Helen Green may have captured his sense of life and change and joy the best. Thanks, Helen, for the bright spot in a dark day.

Fabulous Bowie by Illustrator Helen Green

“It’s become somewhat of a tradition for me to create something to celebrate David Bowie’s birthday – a little token of appreciation for someone that has inspired me so much over the years.” — Helen Green

Enjoy more work by Helen Green!

CALL for ENTRIES: Garden Realm

Posted on December 16, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

don’t eat the
POINSETTIAs

Holiday meals at our house are inevitably eaten around a floral centerpiece, or more commonly, a potted plant. But, for love of our dogs, there hasn’t been a poinsettia in our home for a couple of decades. Instead, we keep a Christmas cactus or two year round. The only rule of thumb is to treat them badly. My mother didn’t water hers for a year, left it on the front porch during multiple early cold snaps. She pulled it in & watered it mid-October, and it was gorgeous just in time for Thanksgiving. So, as a rule, don’t eat your floral holiday centerpieces, but a Christmas cactus might protect your pets if they get the munchies. This next Call is looking for your perspective on flowers this winter. Take a look…

Comfort for the grieving.” — lithamoon.com

WATER
hold the bottle

I have never been a water drinker. I prefer cold-brewed, black tea–decaf, no ice. But, I do force myself to drink a few glasses a day. But I never cease to be amazed by the bizarre marketing methods used to sell water to us at a premium. You can buy water from melted icebergs, from springs at the base of Mt. Figi & even from the demilitarized zone between North & South Korea. This next Call leaves the source of your water to you. Take a look…

NOT PRICKLY

I always wonder who first looked at an artichoke and said, “Yum. We should try to eat this. It looks delicious, no?” Um, no. I love them, but they don’t look appetizing. There are some foods you know are going to taste good, like peaches, whipped cream & fresh-baked cobblers. This next Call is for a magazine that looks appetizing as well. Every time it arrives, I can’t wait to dive in because the covers are beautiful, and the weight of it feels lush in your hands. Don’t miss this one…

CHERRY

AAAD is rapidly approaching our 5th Anniversary (on 9/12). And I have contemplated how to celebrate how far we’ve come. It isn’t cake or chocolate sundaes I crave, but community–for you. Our readership has exploded over the years, and I receive unbelievable amounts of wonderful email from you. But, I would like to see you participate HERE. Tell each other which opportunities, galleries & competitions. Tell each other what works, what doesn’t. Share this site with your friends by liking & sharing our Facebook & Twitter posts. Share our site with a new artist & help them find the opportunities you have found through AAAD. That would be the cherry on my celebratory sundae. Take action to create community HERE, today.

CALL for ENTRIES: Oil & Water

Posted on July 10, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

OIL
me up

Olive oil seems quintessentially Italian to me. But, did you know that the top producer of olive oil, by a fairly wide margin, is Spain? I always think of it as Italian or Greek. This next Call is not just about oil, but water too. Take a look at this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Urban Aspect

Posted on June 8, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

EAT
everything

Most people, in my experience, believe that big cities, like D.C., offer the best in restaurant diversity. And, while this is perhaps true, I find the best quality food experiences are in cities just outside these areas. Take Alexandria, VA, for example. Located just outside D.C., you’ll find everything from farm to table fresh offerings to gourmet comfort foods. All the aspects of urban offerings in a slightly smaller setting. This next Call offers an urban aspect, AND it hails from Alexandria too. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Principle Gallery (Alexandria, VA) for Urban Aspect. Gorgeous gallery, historic & walkable location. Don’t miss this opportunity…

Urban Aspect

“Urban Aspect” will feature works of art that explore the myriad of themes and vistas found in urban life in all corners of the world.

MEDIA: Painting

DEADLINE: August 22, 2014

NOTIFICATION: August 29, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 4, $45 for up to 7 & $55 for up to 10

Æbleskivers

I have a food bucket list. it is a sort of dream-list of foods & food-related activities to try before I die. Norsk Høstfest is on that list. With the exception of danish pastries & rice pudding, Scandinavian food gets a bad rap. I want Viking-on-a-Stick & Danish Aebelskivers, thank you very much. This next Call comes from North Dakota, home to Norsk Høstfest. It may just be fate…

QUANTITIES

I’ve learned not to limit myself with numbers. One protein, 1 starch, 1 veggie is simply an outline, not a rule. Ask Baskin Robbins®–they once thought 31 flavors was the end all be all. Heinz® used to boast 57 varieties; they now have over 5,700. This next Call is number 58, and I’m confident it won’t be the last. Take a look…
