A BAKER’S DOZEN
I appreciate simple food. Somedays there is nothing more comforting than a roasted chicken; however, I am baffled by the new wave of “5 ingredient” cookbooks. I appreciate that sometimes you only HAVE five ingredients. But a whole cookbook of 5 ingredient dishes? I use olive oil, garlic, parsley and cracked black pepper in almost everything…that only leaves me one additional ingredient. How about giving me 12 ingredients? Take a 12 layer dip to the opening of the exhibit in this next Call. Just a subtle pun…

JUROR: Amalia Pizzardi was born in Italy, where she studied Art and Semiology at the University of Bologna with Umberto Eco and received a PhD in Social Sciences. She organized the seventh and eighth editions of the Lyric and Cultural Festival “Valle d’Itria” presenting “Le jeu de l’amour et du hasar” by Marivaux and “Turandot” by F.Busoni, under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture and Ministry of Tourism and commissioned by the Paolo Grassi Foundation.
When living in Mexico, Dr. Pizzardi became firmly convinced that Art is a vehicle for social change, so she organized artistic events within the framework of cultural interchanges with other countries, including Brazil, Colombia, Finland, France, Guatemala, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay and the United States. She has participated for years as a juror in competitions and artistic events organized by CNN, the Red Cross Art Auction and Juannio, Latin American Masters’ Auction.
Amalia is the Founder and Director of the art gallery “The Gallery Art & Design,” dedicated principally to Latin American art on the vanguard, which has had a presence in Mexico, Italy and the United States; participating in international art fairs such as ArtMiami y MiArt in Milan. She is also the Founder and President of “Colors of Life,” a non-profit that organizes each year an International Photo Competition to support various charitable causes.
AWARDS: Cash and prizes up to $1000 will be awarded solely at the discretion of the exhibition juror. Recognition of work by Dr. Pizzardi may also be designated to the extent she deems appropriate. These designations may not include a cash prize. Also, 12 12 Gallery Director, Martin McFadden, will award a Director’s Choice Award.
SALES: All work must be for sale. 12 12 Gallery will receive a 35% commission.
