A non-electric KNIFE
to the HEART
Many moons ago, I had an electrified kitchen gadget for everything. But as the years go by, I found myself drawn to the more manual side of cooking–good knives, a great mandolin, and compact do-hickeys that serve my family in many ways. Give me a manual can-opener any time. An electric can opener won’t do you a lot of good if the power goes out. So, my kitchen is getting a little greener, and this Call for Entries encourages you to make your art a little greener. Take a look…
Check out this Call for Entries for the Renewable Energy Roundup and Art Show in Ellensburg, WA at the Clymer Museum. The entry fee is low. The commission rate is low. This is your chance to go green… with art!
