CALL for ENTRIES: Water Banners

Learn more about the Annual Banner Project from NMSU!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…
