When is the last time you went to a cooking demonstration?  I love the sort of public bravado that comes with a demonstration meant to sell pots ‘n’ pans or cutlery.  And infomercials are just the best.  If I didn’t have a day job, I would be broke from all the gadgets I could buy like sandwich makers, dehydrators, juicers, blenders, choppers and baking pans.  I am in love with the NyFork (left). This next Call gives you a public outlet to display your work with the need for fancy knife skills or clever alliteration.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Visual Arts Alliance for the 28th Annual Juried Open Exhibition which will claim the Continental Building in Houston, TX as its home for this year.  By the way, VAA takes NO COMMISSION.  Don’t miss this chance to break into a really cool art market in Texas…
