CALL for ENTRIES: Water Banners

Posted on December 15, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

no DISWASHER

I am preparing to live my life with only a human washer of dishes. We’ve spent years eliminating excess stuff, downsizing possessions & square footage. Re-training ourselves after years of ingrained longing for “more” has been tough. Beginning Spring 2017, we will have limited access to water & power –only what we can produce or capture. The dishwasher will be the toughest obstacle. Because of the enormous amount of cooking we do, our dishwasher cycles at least once per day, and there is still a sink full of hand-washable items left. Maybe the answer is a really deep farmhouse sink to hide the dishes left after I’ve met my hand-washing-insanity limit. This next Call honors water conservation. Maybe they have a solution…

Check out this Call for Entries from New Mexico State University (Las Cruces, NM) for the Annual Banner Project, that is themed after the water-conservation show being held in conjunction inside the gallery. This is a VERY visible show. Take a look…

This is an exciting opportunity to have thousands of viewers see your work as they drive off of interstate 10 or 25 down University Avenue past the campus of New Mexico State University. *It is unclear whether artists will get to keep the banners after the exhibit. I have asked. Once I have an answer, I will update the post.

CALL for ENTRIES: A Touch of the Blues

blue
MILK

I’m not really a milk drinker –never have been. I use it in cooking and to make cheese, but by the glass is uncommon. It has in recent years, though, become helpful in the winter months. In the winter, my writing for AAAD & creating my own art (both visual & performing) keeps me indoors most of the time. A lack of sunshine for extended periods of time is often accompanied by a general malaise –the winter blues. Milk isn’t a miracle drug, but the boost of Vitamin D does seem to help. This next Call wants your perspective on blue. Take a look…

needle
TEA

Did you know that pine needles are edible, sort of? If you love the smell of holiday wreaths and garlands made of fresh pine, you can get that same sense of comfort from tea brewed of pine needles. Be careful NOT to use yew, Norfolk Island Pine or Ponderosa Pine (poisonous) and be sure to forage for your needles to help avoid fertilizers and pesticides. It’s a different way to look at those ever-present evergreens. This next Call wants to see your different take on plants of all sorts too. Deck the halls…

salt &
CELERY

Even as a kid, my tastes were a little off center. My father used to chop carrots for me so that I could dip them in celery salt, conveniently contained in the spice container cap. I don’t recall using celery salt on anything else either. So strange. Celery sticks got garlic salt, BTW. Neither get either now, ha. This next Call wants your perspective on childhood. Take a look…

gelatinous
CULTURE

Mayhaw jelly is the gift that keeps giving. I appreciate receiving foods from all over the U.S., but often those foods aren’t necessarily native to an area — just popular there. But, the mayhaw berry is native to the wetlands, so every time I receive a Louisiana batch, I am transported back to a place I love. You can keep the beignets; just pass the jelly. This next Call hails from Louisiana too and is just as special. Take a look…

OLIVE
facial

We consume a lot of extra virgin olive oil, but I have found yet another reason to love this elixir. It has topical applications too. I suppose it should occur to me that it would make fantastic lotions and eye creams, but I always thought of it as an ingredient –not for use in pure form. This next Call is as virginal as my new make remover. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Woman Made Gallery (Chicago) for One in Herself. Love this gallery & the history of well-curated shows. Great opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
One in Herself

“According to the book, Villa of Mysteries… by Katherine Bradway, the original definition of the term, ‘Virgin’ describes ‘a woman who is one-in-herself, belonging to herself alone, being her own mistress,’ and that the ‘virgin goddesses symbolized women who were complete in themselves and not merely counterparts of male consorts. They were capable of developing their own wholeness through integration, realizing their separate qualities inside themselves rather than through projection onto other persons to whom they were related.’ One in Herself invites artists to present work that expands our ideas of virginity and of what it means to be a woman, “who is one-in-herself.”–from womanmade.org

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: January 3, 2016

comfort FOOD

When winter hits, my mood often turns darker. But, instead of pizza & ice cream (okay, sometimes instead), I try to reset my nutritional routine. I am always surprised how unexpected foods can trigger a change in mood. Healthy fats like that found in fish, nuts, avocado are shown to improve brain health while vitamin D found in dairy (and non-dairy mylks) are a big help if I have been stuck indoors. Spicy foods offer anti-inflammatory benefits that help with circulation and my energy levels. Making a positive change in what I eat often helps me combat a negative turn in my mood when winter sets in. This next Call is all positive. Take a look…

BLUES

I have broken my own blue-food rule. I have ranted & raved for years about food coloring. I have forever sworn off any faux food colored any shade of blue, but I have given in. This year will be my very first time in my life that I will have a “real” Christmas tree (living, as opposed to artificial). So, I decided that all the ornaments and decorations should be “real” too (read handmade or homemade). I couldn’t resist the most beautiful electric-blue gum drops I have ever seen. I am testing them out as a sweet garland. Forgive the hypocrisy, but I promise not to eat them. This next Call is another non-edible use for all things blue. Maybe this one’s for you…

& BITE

Being a great cook, is an interdisciplinary skill. I know a handful of people who claim to be so uncreative that they “can’t draw a stick figure”. Clearly, creativity is not measured by the quality of your stick figures. But I am willing to accept those sorts of self-assessments –unless they come from a great cook. Composing the perfect dish requires great taste, some basic scientific knowledge, both an eye for design and nose for the perfect unexpected ingredient. Without that combination of talent, meals are likely to be unremarkable. This Call is another way to put a combo of talents to the test. Take a look…

GREEN

We are all careful about dairy products & cross contamination as a result of years of PSA-style campaigning about food-borne illness. But, did you know that leafy greens are among the most dangerous types of foods? Remember the bagged spinach epidemic from a few years ago. Leafy greens are at high risk for contamination from manure in the growing process. You’re not off the hook for eating greens, you just have to promise to wash this type of food really well. This Call wants to know your type; food references are optional. Great opportunity at a great gallery…
