WET MY WHISTLE

I’m not a huge fan of drinking plain ol’ water on a regular basis.  However, I recognize the vital importance of water in my daily food experience.  I can’t drink iced tea at my mother’s house because the water is very sulphur-y.  And when I lived in the USVI, it only took one turn cleaning the cistern to teach me to cook ONLY with bottled water in the islands. 

What does water mean to you? 

 

This next call encourage you to stretch your perception of H20 both visually and in written word.

Check out this Call for Entries form Arts Center + Old Forge for their Annual Themed Exhibit H20…an exhibit dripping with art and writing.  The entry fee is reasonable.  The jurors are great.  And here’s your chance to be doubly-successful in art and writing!
