CALL for ENTRIES: Pushing Paper

Posted on April 24, 2018April 23, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

my CREME-filled heart

My husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary with Chinese takeout because neither of felt like cooking or grocery shopping. It was our typical night egg drop soup & steamed dumplings, but the thing that made the night a celebration came in a paper bag. A beautiful, fresh chocolate eclair from our local doughnut shop, a guilty pleasure from the middle years of our marriage when that was one of the only splurges we could afford. Since then, I tend to watch my sugar intake and my husband was diagnosed with a wheat allergy. But with a that single damn-the-consequences pastry, I felt the heart flutter that says he’ll stick for another twenty. Some of the best things come in, or on, paper just like in this next Call. Plus the gallery is gorgeous…

Check out this Call for Entries from Barrett Art Center (Poughkeepsie, NY) for Pushing Paper. This venue is spectacular, and venues open to cutting edge work are always appreciated. Take a look…

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Flink12

DAIRY ME

Remember when ice cream treats came 12 to a box? Then it was 10. Then 8. Now I pay $4.99 for a box of 6. Does that mean I’ll quit eating ice cream? Unlikely. I think this is the same psychology behind cigarette tax too, ha. Well, at least eggs still come by the dozen. (We won’t even discuss Eggland’s Best new 1/2 dozen cartons.) Twelve is the perfect number for this next Call too. A flink to be exact…

Check out this Call for Submissions from Flink12 for the Global Icon Art Competition. There is no fee to enter, and your work could be viewed by millions if Flink12 turns into the new Facebook. It is worth a try…

*Editor’s Note: Do not be alarmed. My beautifully crafted, sophisticated gourmet image has temporarily bitten the dust to make way for Saturday morning, cartoon-like graphics. We will return to your regularly scheduled programming tomorrow.
