REMINDER: Mystery Build 2014

PEANUT BUTTER

My culinary super power is making meals out of whatever I happen to find in the cabinets and making it seem purposeful. Sure, I can make a beautiful breakfast muffin from peanut butter and flax seeds. And yes, I can make cookies out of peanut butter, honey and a single egg. Okay, maybe I can just make anything out of peanut butter–the perfect ingredient. But, not everything comes with the perfect ingredients. While most folks won’t think the kit from this Call is perfect to create a masterpiece, you’ll have all the ingredients; just make it work. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Mystery Build 2014. This year’s theme is “Build a Dream”. We are so proud that our Featured Artist Amy Kollar Anderson won the People’s Choice Award for the 2013 Mystery Build. Which one of you is going to win an award for 2014? Investigate this one…

CALL for ENTRIES: Urban Aspect

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

EAT
everything

Most people, in my experience, believe that big cities, like D.C., offer the best in restaurant diversity. And, while this is perhaps true, I find the best quality food experiences are in cities just outside these areas. Take Alexandria, VA, for example. Located just outside D.C., you’ll find everything from farm to table fresh offerings to gourmet comfort foods. All the aspects of urban offerings in a slightly smaller setting. This next Call offers an urban aspect, AND it hails from Alexandria too. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Principle Gallery (Alexandria, VA) for Urban Aspect. Gorgeous gallery, historic & walkable location. Don’t miss this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Urban Aspect

“Urban Aspect” will feature works of art that explore the myriad of themes and vistas found in urban life in all corners of the world.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Painting

DEADLINE: August 22, 2014

CALL for ENTRIES: Blue

FOOD ISN’T BLUE

I have an aversion to blue foods. Blueberries & blue potatoes are really both fairly purple. Every other blue food I can think of is artificial and always screams, “bio-hazard” at me like blue drinks, candies and frosting. But have you every noticed if you go to a carnival, 5 out of 6 kids have blue rings around their mouths or blue tongues from shaved ice or cotton candy or gummy worms? Is it an age thing? I don’t know. Just don’t try to feed me your entry for this next show and we’ll be all good. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Blue. Low entry ($24) plus a great juror. If you gotta be blue, do it this way…

*Editor’s Note: It is important to let the Darkroom know you found their Call on artandartdeadlines.com. They are friends of AAAD, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES: Blue

Blue is a favorite color of all people, yet it has more complex and contradictory meanings than any other hue.

Throughout the ages, as the natural world’s color for water and sky, blue lends itself to spiritual and heavenly leanings. In these modern days, blue is embraced as the color of heaven and authority, denim jeans and corporate logos. Most blues convey a sense of trust, loyalty, cleanliness, and understanding. On the other hand, blue evolved as symbol of depression in American culture. “Singing the blues” and feeling blue” are good examples of the complexity of color symbolism and how the color has been evolved in different cultures.

For this show Darkroom Gallery is looking for all types of blue images & meanings. All the variances of the color: electric, royal, baby, periwinkle, azure, midnight, navy, dark and light. We are intrigued by naturally occurring blues and man-made blues alike. Whole images consisting of the color, or the choice sections of a photograph that astutely display the power of blue. — from darkroomgallery.com

Pimento cheese is known as the caviar of the South. It is fundamentally made with American cheese which isn’t actually cheese. So can you make authentic pimento cheese with a faux ingredient?

CALL for ENTRIES:
Faux Real

Though the idea of the ‘real’ has a multitude of meanings, it has been endlessly interpreted by artists and holds particular significance in our ever-changing world.

Artists approach reality and its relationship to representation through numerous types of media and with many distinctive standpoints. The term ‘reality’ has been consistently redefined and broadened to include new realms, like the virtual, the personal, the unscripted, the digital, the hallucinogenic.

Non-Fiction Gallery is looking for works that explore the many facets of the concept of reality.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all media

There is something about the eating & drinking of it all that brings on the conversations you never expect. it is like the intimate version of coffee talk, less the coffee.

COOKING

I now take pictures of my food in progress–of making, not eating. Because I obnoxiously post pics of my cooking adventure to Facebook, my friends ask for recipes.

There are better uses of your cell phone; for example, this next Call. Take a look…

HEAVY
emotion

I take turns with food indulgences. Butter makes a regular appearance, but heavy whipping cream seems to be the preference this week. It is the main reason I make the best quiche (anywhere, thank-you-very-much), but my zucchini au gratin rocks because of it as well. My relationship with heavy whipping cream is almost spiritual.

A BOWL
full

My mother believes I am obsessed with food & cooking. She finds it laughable that I have a bowl specific to whipping cream. “Obsessed” is a strong word, possibly accurate, but definitely strong. I do not own a single bowl to which I am well enough attached that I want to be buried with it like Mimbres bowls which have been found covering the face of the interred. Wear marks on the insides of those bowls show they were actually used for more than burial items. That just makes me more respectful of my pottery bowls–lest it ends up covering my face for all of eternity. Hmm. This next Call wants to see how YOU might be inspired by Mimbres potters. This is a fascinating Call, and NOT restricted to clay media. Take a look…
