CALL for ENTRIES: 50th at the Masur

LAZY DAYS
of Winter

Chili mac is in the crock pot right now. Mmmhmm, sophisticated. I spend a lot of time talking about gourmet foods, but it is cold and drizzly outside. And since I cannot spend a couple of balmy days in Louisiana soaking up the warm, humid goodness… I made chili mac instead of grilled portobellos with homemade pesto over flax seed, whole wheat pasta. Don’t judge me–or my chili mac. This next Call is enticing me, if only because I am dreaming of attending a Louisiana opening. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Masur Museum of Art (Monroe, LA) for their 50th Annual Juried Competition. The entry fee is only $10, and it is open to all media. This is a great museum, and did I mention there is no commission? This is a great opportunity…
