CALL for ENTRIES: The Natural World

Posted on January 6, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

ARTIFICIAL
please

My tolerance for plastic-y foods is diminishing right along with the availability of beautiful greens in winter. Just when it would be helpful to be a fan of processed foods, I find them less tolerable than ever. I’m even growing intolerant of frozen vegetables. Unless I want to live on spinach and kale, I’m going to have to find a solution. In the meantime, this next Call isn’t tolerating the plastic either; it is all about the natural world. Take a look…

pat my
BURGER
not my buns

There is something special about hand crafted food. I will never understand how an upscale restaurant can charge $15 for a pre-formed frozen burger. Really? For $15, can’t you hand-form my burger? I think so. This next Call results in a hand-crafted final result, of sorts. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Sustainable WEST

Posted on December 30, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

GREEN
is more than
GREENS

Truly living green in the kitchen is a touch complicated. Yes, I can buy locally sourced, sustainable foods. But, as we work toward designing a kitchen for the straw bale house we plan to build this year, do I really have it in me to skip out on a traditional stove/oven for a wood-burning or rocket stove/oven? Not so sure. But while I’m contemplating it, I can at least submit sustainably-themed work for this next Call. How about you?

CALL for ENTRIES: Take Flight

My 14 year old TAKES HIS LUNCH everyday. No joke. He is allergic to wheat, and public school lunches, aside from having wheat hiding everywhere, are not to his liking. I have ruined his ability to eat fake food. So, his lunches are often a little like homemade Lunchables™ with a little of this and a little of that. But the last time I had to fly, I encounter the most bizarre concept–Lunchables™ for adults. Well, not literally; at least I don’t THINK Oscar Mayer® is making in-flight foods. Maybe a little tapas lunch of your own making will help you tackle this gravity defying Call. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Take Flight from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry fee is very reasonable, and I’ll bet you already have lots of work that works with this theme…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Take Flight

Humans have always desired to take to the skies. Fascinated by flight, we construct machines to propel us into the air; from kites and hot air balloons to supersonic jets. We admire birds and costume ourselves with wings, imagining what it would be like to fly without assistance.

For Take Flight, The Kiernan Gallery seeks
images of and about defying gravity.

CALL for ENTRIES: Washington Pavilion

don’t cut the
CAKE

Isn’t it funny how certain seasons suddenly bring about the craving for very specific foods? It never occurs to most people to even think about fruitcake until we start seeing winter holiday decorations appear. My German in-laws (3rd generation via Wisconsin) save kuchen for Christmas. Kuchen is German & approximately translates to “cake,” but I know it as a sort of custard & jam filled sweet-dough, low-rise cake that screams Christmas. Much to my surprise, it is also the state dessert of South Dakota–the home of this next Call. This is a beautiful venue, by the way…

TO GROW

I am slightly obsessed with the hunt for the perfect piece of land. My husband & I are determined that 2014 will be the year we finally build a house, but we can talk about that adventure later. Right now, I have to find the land. I need land that will both allow for a solar-efficient, south-facing house, but I also need a large enough plot to accommodate our offices, a studio, and a garden, of course–and cheap. I know. The land really MEANS something to me just like the landscape needs to MEAN something in this next Call. Keep reading…

GOAT

I have a significant number of friends that simply won’t cook for me. They assume, based on my writing, that I might be too discerning. It is ridiculous and unfounded, of course. I eat everything (except wheat). But many of them have read enough of my posts to feel safe if they always include a stinky cheese. And, a handful of them have read my posts closely enough to know that goat cheese is proverbial gold. If you only get one chance to make a first impression, goat cheese is always the gold standard. This next Call gives you an opportunity to see if your work is the gold standard. Please take this chance…

When the weather gets cold, I dream of chili peppers. Ridiculous? Maybe. You want hot cocoa, I want hot cocoa too…with a little chili pepper. We’re not that different. Oh, but how I long for a Tortas ahogadas (drowned sandwich) soaked in all of its chili pepper glory. Is it wrong to apply for an artist residency, like the one in this next Call, just to eat a sandwich–a really, really good sandwich? Luckily there are many great reason other than the Tortas ahogadas to apply. Take a look…

Because you know I’ve been a foodie for so many years, it should come as no surprise that my weight has fluctuated for decades. I have been everything from a size 8 to a size 24 over the years. I have given up carbs, given up fat, eaten only fruit, eaten only soup… You name it, and I’ve tried it. Nothing ever worked for long. Then I was forced to quit eating wheat, and my weight stabilizes. Go figure. I’m not a size 8, or a 24, but I haven’t gained or lost more than 2 lbs in 8 months. This next Call is all about YOUR figure. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Illumine

Light is that which compels a photograph into being: shifting, glowing, luminous, obscure or brilliant.

The medium of photography brazenly defined: How our tools, environs and subjects respond to light. Sometimes the light plays a more prominent role in a photograph, sometimes as a supporting actor and sometimes as the protagonist itself.

Low light, bright light and every stop in between. Light can be luminous & rich, or a stark spotlight, it can wildly dance, or softly edge darkness and cast shadows. Light can reflect and sparkle or be blinding and disarming. Natural light vs. man-made light sources: sunrises and sunsets, moonlight and neon light!

Photographs are steeped in emotive qualities that go well beyond the work’s subject and content, an almost indecipherable layer is em-parted through the usage of light.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists 18+
