I ATE THE WHOLE THING!
Vacation time is over, and I am in a food coma. I may never look at sweet potato casserole the same way again. For those of you that survived the holidays without a permanent taste aversion, this next call is another opportunity in NYC.
Check out the Call for Entries from The Ernest Rubenstein Gallery and the Educational Alliance called The Urban Situation. The entry fee is very low, but the number of slots they have to fill is equally low. Could be a great opportunity, but do your homework so you know what kind of work they want!
