the APPLE of my eye

It is almost apple season ’round these parts, and I cannot wait.  I grew up thinking Red Delicious apples were “apples”, and I wasn’t a fan.  Not until I became a teenager did I understand there were many other varieties.  Not until I moved to Tennessee did I realize how many varieties there really were.  Now, I live within a few miles of an orchard with more varieties than I imagine I’ll never get around to trying.  I appreciate being able to know about my food, about how it is grown and harvested and sold, and how those funds support the lives of my neighbors.

That connection to my food is what made me connect to this exhibit about agricultural awareness.  I know that many of you are hoping to add a museum show to your resume, and this is a great opportunity to do just that.  Your work doesn’t have to be literal or necessarily botanical to fit this curatorial them.   Show them what you’ve got.

So, check out this Call for Entries from Santa Paula Art Museum (Santa Paula, CA) and the Ag Art Alliance for Art About Agriculture.   $30 entry & 40% commission plus cash prizes. This is a great venue…
