CALL for ENTRIES: $1000 Grant / Purchase Award

Posted on October 20, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

EATS

My grocery bill is absurd. I’m not having dinners of foie gras & truffles. In fact, most of our meals are vegetable laden. I try to stop by the farmers market at my local apple orchard. This week, it was $25 for apples, onions, 4 sweet potatoes, 3 bell peppers & 2 eggplant. As you might imagine, I then proceeded to spend a fortune at the grocery store to supplement my farmers market finds. I have a family of only three people + my four-legged child. I buy in-season, cost-conscious items. I consider myself a master food shopper, and I can barely hang on to a healthy menu. How are people without access to locally-grown produce options supposed to avoid eating processed food? The economics of hunger are devastating. This next Call is an excellent use of YOUR $25. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from WorkingArtist.org for the $1000 Working Artist Grant/Art Purchase Award. This may very well be the simplest process for the biggest possible return. $25 Entry. Don’t miss this one…

from
ITALY
with love
(& basil)

Herbs and spices always tell a meal’s story. And those stories are shaped by our experiences. Even though basil is found in Thai cuisine, it immediately transports me to Italy. And while cumin finds its origins in Iran & the Mediterranean, it conjures memories of Mexico for me. This next Call is looking for your story in images. This is a great challenge…

PUMPKIN
jack

Everywhere I go there are pumpkins. Big orange jack-o-lantern-style pumpkins are everywhere –shipped in from farms across the state. Funny enough, while my neighbors (along with most of the country) are obsessed with pumpkin-flavored everything, there are almost NO pumpkins meant for cooking (sugar pumpkins) to be found in grocery stores. Trust me, you don’t want to make a pie out of a carving pumpkin. Ick. This next Call wants to know about your landscape, seascape, etc. Your “scape” doesn’t have to be orange, BTW…

CHERRIES

Did you know there is an edible form of the dogwood? Cornus Mas, aka Cornelius Cherry Dogwood, produces small ruby red or yellow fruit that makes great jam. The fruit is a common Iranian snack when salted, and I’ve even heard rumors that a few home brewers have been make wine from the fruit. I’m thinking that finding the jam might be the easiest start. In the meantime, let’s celebrate the non-edible dogwood by making art for this next Call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Memories

Posted on October 5, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

the
SPAGHETTI
incident

I spent my childhood as the family cook & server. I was raised by a single father that couldn’t cook. I think he realized early on that ANY talent I had in the kitchen would surpass his own. Even before I could cook with aid of a step stool, I was already setting the table and serving dinner. I remember serving a plate of spaghetti and tomato sauce to my father, already seated, who quickly discovered you shouldn’t trust a 4 year old to secure a drop leaf table. Ha. he called it the “spaghetti incident” until the day he died. This next Call wants to see how your imagination frames your early memories –food optional. Handle this theme thoughtfully…

CALL for ENTRIES: Oddity

Posted on September 27, 2015September 29, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

SUGAR bear

Food oddities abound –from century eggs to snake wine. But I find the biggest food oddity is the waste of food in massive, organized food fights. How do you use tons of food to make a mess when it could be feeding someone? I don’t understand. I suppose that some make an argument that food art is also a waste; however, I think the difference in scale might be the defining factor. I have to admit to loving Kevin Champeny‘s gummy bear chandeliers. This next Call is looking for oddities, but they don’t have to be food related. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Oddity. $24 entry. We’re proud our readers have been both shown & awarded at Darkroom. Don’t delay or you will miss this OCTOBER 7th deadline…

CALL for ENTRIES: Jealous

Posted on September 24, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

jumping through the
HOOPS

I have plastic envy. Hoop houses are sprouting up all over town as pre-planning for chances of upcoming frost. Last year our first snow came in October. Locally lots of folks protect their late Summer plantings from possible early frost while also giving them space to start seedlings in colder weather. Once the ground is frozen, installation becomes a much more complicated project. My house hangs on the side of a mountain. The only flat space I have for a hoop house is my gravel driveway, ha. Jealous of plastic –never thought I’d have that problem. This next Call will hopefully make you the object of the jealous. Take a look…

don’t FEED
the rats

Rats, when tested, will develop cancer. Have you heard that satirical proverb? I believe it is/was meant to be a comment on the number of carcinogens identified by animal testing. Well, I have another one for you. Food, when processed, will become unhealthy. Okay, maybe that one isn’t so satirical. Check out this list of 7 Foods People Think are Healthy, but Aren’t.

PEPPERS
only smaller

My whole house smells like peppers & basil at the moment. A recent Saturday trip to the farmers market ended with a huge surplus of these staples, but to prevent loss, I am dehydrated both. Then I will grind, chop or crumble most of these into a smaller form for storage and use this winter. This next Call could be an outlet for new work, but it could be an excellent way to compact and move out studies or older work. I encourage you to contemplate cutting down your work. Yes, I DID say, “cutting down your work”…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Fort Worth Community Arts Center (Fort Worth, TX) for 9×12 Works on Paper. This could be a great way to do a little studio cleaning & resume building at the same time. Take a look…
