CALL for ENTRIES: 52nd BAL Nat’l

Posted on February 12, 2014February 12, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

a mixed bag of
GROCERIES

I loosely plan a weekly menu each week by making sure there are at least seven proteins, seven green vegetables and a handful of starches available in the kitchen. From those offerings, I try to make every week different. But, since the proteins are almost always a couple of versions of same pork, beef, chicken and/or fish, making 52 different menus a year is a stretch. And, I might add that there are only so many ways to prepare zucchini & broccoli. But this next Call is the 52nd time this Call has been offered, and I promise the result has been different each and every time. Maybe this is THE opportunity for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Beaumont Art League (Beaumont, TX) for the 2014 BAL National juried exhibition. This the 52nd consecutive year for this exhibit. This is their premier yearly exhibit. Take a look…

JUROR: Born in New York and educated at the acclaimed Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Vera Barnett moved to Texas in 1985. She began using pool toys as still life subjects, but felt a desire for more emotional and personal subjects. Her solution was to create her own models from sewn plastic. Barnett’s process yields paintings injected with emotions that are authentically human, yet fabricated through completely synthetic materials.

CHEESE
off the old block

Cheese food is not cheese. You’re allowed to like American cheese; feel free. But, don’t take comfort in the idea that you are eating a natural cheese. It is manufactured from milk, whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, saturated oils; emulsifiers, salt & artificial coloring–and that’s assuming you aren’t consuming a diet variety. Think of it this way…if the cheese can’t stand alone, then maybe it shouldn’t have the spotlight in any of your meals. This next Call is looking for a big cheese (or six) to put in the spotlight. Are you a big cheese?

Check out this Call for Entries from Penn State Altoona (Altoona, PA) for the Ivyside Juried Art Competition for solo shows at the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts. The entry fee is only $10 for up to 24 images. This is a great academic opportunity at a really low price!

COOKIES, CANDY
and CAKE
oh my

I have dessert after every meal. There, I admit it. I have bre-ssert (usually fruit or chocolate BR-eakfast), le-ssert (often cookies or candy after L-unch), and dessert (cheesecake & chocolate torte are my favorites). Everyday. I’m not into self-deprivation, and I consider dessert a sort of punctuation after meal production. This next Call features an opportunity for art publication, a sort of punctuation after art production. It can be a very useful tool to advancing your art career. Investigate this one to see if it is a fit for you…

MOUTH

I dislike the semantics of having an “open mind”. Doesn’t that, quite literally, mean that anything can go in and out? I don’t want that for my mind any more than I want that for my menu. I simply will not abide even a “devil’s advocate” argument on some subjects anymore because for me, wrong is wrong. I feel the same way about food. I’ve tried an impossibly large number of foods over the years. I will not even entertain the possibility of tasting some foods anymore. Grubs might be fantastic or even taste like my favorite stinky cheese, but I won’t be eating them, EVER. Call me closed-minded AND closed-mouthed in this respect. Luckily, this next show is wide open. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Kingdom

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

wild FOOD

I live less than a mile from one of the boundaries of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I also live only a mile from downtown; however, my town has a tiny population of around 3500 residents. My location has a profound impact on the food I eat. The availability of exotic foods is relatively limited unless you count game meats which are prevalent even in upscale restaurants. I keep a clean grill because predators are a REAL, not imagined, threat. I don’t hike or cook in the woods alone because black bears do eat people occasionally. Where I live defines what I eat and my relationship with the “wild kingdom.” This next Call wants to know all about YOUR relationship with animals. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Manifest Gallery (Cincinnati, OH) for Kingdom, an international exhibition exploring the animal in art. You can enter for as little at $12. Don’t miss this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Spring Feature

Posted on February 7, 2014February 7, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

COCOA
powder puff

I have always preferred chocolate in my stomach, not necessarily on my face–unless it got there on its way to my stomach. But as my journey toward a simpler life continues. I am fascinated by the foodstuffs that can be used for non-culinary purposes. I’ve used coconut oil on my hair and avocado on my skin for a long time. But did you know that you can use cocoa as a colorant in a food-based face powder. I’d put on weight if I had to breathe in the smell of cocoa all day. But, it will still make me look at what I wear on my face differently. Hopefully this next Call will make you look at faces a little differently too…

CALL for ENTRIES: Like a Tom Waits Song

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

sometimes an EGG
is more than an EGG

The creative are often food obsessed. I am not alone. Food is a common experience for us all, but I find that creative people tend to purposefully try to indulge all the senses at once–musicians, writers, dancers AND visual artists. So how perfect is this next Call that centers around a slightly food-obsessed musician. If you don’t know his work (Eggs & Sausage is one of my favorites, but Chocolate Jesus was infamously controversial), do your homework…you won’t be sorry.

Check out of this Call for Entries from the Arc Studios & Gallery (San Francisco, CA) for Like a Tom Waits Song. This is one of the most unique themes I have ever published. Fascinating…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Like a Tom Waits Song

This open call is for all artists who have found themselves deeply moved, enraptured, bemused or inspired by Tom Waits. Has his music ever transported you to a dusty desert town or an abandoned train yard or a glowing, gritty neon rainy city street filled with steam? Listening to his music do you come away from the experience with a flash of inspiration embodying his lyrics? Like Tom Waits, do you tell tall tales and spin yarns with your work?

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all US artists

MEDIA: Sculpture, painting, drawing, photo, printmaking, ceramics, assemblage, collage, mixed media, fiber art & artist books. This exhibition cannot accept jewelry, video, film, performance art, installation and works requiring an external electrical source.

NOTIFICATION: March 28, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 3

JUROR: graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1977. Her background as an artist has assisted in her understanding of the perspectives and idiosyncrasies of the art world.

The range of work includes paintings, works on paper, photography and sculpture.

AWARDS: A Juror’s Award ribbon and certificate will be presented to three works that express the most imaginative interpretation of the theme. There are two opportunities to get into this show.

RICE-A-RONI

Famous dishes and food fads are not a new phenomenon. Consider Hangtown Fry, named after Placerville, CA (then known as Hangtown), where it is reported to have been invented in the 1850s. A bacon & oyster omelet, yep. Although it originated in Placerville, it was really made famous years later by San Francisco, an hour from Placerville, from hence the oysters where usually shipped. Yes, I managed to bring it back around to locally-sourced ingredients. This next Call is also famous and from San Francisco. Peas in a pod…

DRIZZLE

My new ace-in-the-whole dish is for last minute parties and desserts is anything topped with chocolate glaze. 3/4 cup of dark chocolate chips melted with 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil. From cheesecake to strawberries, it works on everything. Warm, it is like velvet. Cold, it is a beautiful shell. Here’s hoping everything turns up aces for you with this next Call. Remember, nothing great happens unless you TRY. Investigate for yourself…

FRESH SPINACH

My local farmers’ market does not open until the beginning of MAY. The fact that I am craving fresh, local produce already does not bode well for me. Once I start craving fresh produce, my ability to put up with frozen produce lessens so I end up with an even narrower range of veggies to eat. Sustainable farming is a true art with a connection to the Earth, and this next Call is looking for YOUR art that is connected to the Earth. This one might just be for you…
