I collect condiments, and it is contagious.  My husband now collects condiments too.  I like relishes and mustards; he likes hot sauces and meat marinades.  The collection never gets out of hand because we consume them.  It’s a good system.  This next Call can help you start a collection of your own.  Consider it carefully…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 2nd Annual Print Exchange for a Cure to be hosted by the University of Dallas. The entry fee is low. You get 10 prints in return, AND your work ends up in a permanent University collection. Oh, did I mention the funds raised go to a reputable charity? You couldn’t ask for more.

I love introducing new foods to food newbies.  Anytime you can get someone to take a chance on a new food, your reward comes in the form of their response–often shock, surprise and delight.  There are an extreme few foods that I don’t like, but beets have always been one of them.  When in Arizona recently, I was in the company of someone who ordered a roasted beet salad.  I tried it and LOVED it.  Merry Christmas for me; I now love beets.  Thank you, Kim.  For some of you, this next Call for Entries will introduce you to a whole new media.  Take a chance and figure out how you can adapt your media to this call.

International CALL for Entries: Printmaking

PRINTMAKING
CALL for Entries

I always fascinated, and a little baffled, by which posts get the most hits at ArtAndArtDeadlines.com

The Featured Artists posts that I expect no one to care about send my hits skyrocketing, while the occasional FREE entry call for entries for an International show opportunity sometimes barely limps by. 

Google "Printmaking Call for Entries"One Google search term, however, is so frequently searched that my blog posts from long ago are still coming up as results–printmaking call for entries

You heard me, folks. 

My best guess is that there are a lot of printmakers out there, and there aren’t nearly enough shows to showcase them all.  I’ll see what I can do solve this problem, but in the meantime…here’s a little appetizer:
