I am intrigued by how menu items get there names.  Wouldn’t restaurants have it easier if they could just put “Mc” in front of any item and make it a hot ticket?  It works for the golden arches.  Did you know that some locations actually sell the “McLobster sandwich”?  Really?  Google it.  This next call has little to do with naming things except for their name, but check it out anyway…

There are some foods that I love that I only eat every year or two.  It isn’t any sense of guilt that makes them sparse on my menu.  Sometimes it is just a case of out-of-sight, out-of-mind.  Fried green tomatoes, fried chicken livers, fried ice cream.  Okay, there IS a theme.  This next Call only happens every couple of years.  Miss this deadline, and you’ll be sorry…

I took French as my foreign language in high school.  In hindsight, Spanish would have been more useful, but French turned out to be handy when my love of food emerged.  I am enamored with the use of feminine and masculine nouns.  Did you know that un chocolat is masculine while une orangina is feminine?  Orange you glad I’m publishing this next call?  Bad, I know.  Forgive me…

Check out this Call for Entries for (Re)capturing Womanhood at Southern Illinois University (Carbondale, IL) then traveling, brought to you by curators Angela J.

goodness…

I am dumfounded by the number of times I use “I” while writing this blog.  But popular opinion confirms that a certain about of narcissim is inherent in the act of blogging…period.  I suppose I could start writing about the food quirks of the famous.  It’s election season in the US, anyone want to talk about Jimmy Carter and peanuts?  I didn’t think so.  This next Call encourages a healthy dose of narcissism.  Be your own muse…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for id – The Object of Self. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($20), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. The jury method for this one is a change from the norm. Take a look…

Learn more about the id - the Object of Self show from Darkroom Gallery!CALL for ENTRIES:
id – The Object of Self

 

The self-portrait: Is it your compulsion? Your obsession? An impulse?

Was it out of necessity (the mandatory Photo 101 exercise, a portrait for the office newsletter, or because you needed to self-promote)? Is it the autobiographical record you decided was best told in image?

Sometimes we have to step in front of the lens – we can’t seem to communicate what we want to others, or maybe we’re just the most convenient choice for a model (the least expensive, for sure). Even if we got there by default, there is no one better able to translate our vision to the camera than ourselves. Perhaps you were experimenting with persona or striving for a personal perfection? Were you desperately seeking Self?

Learn more about the Darkroom Gallery online!For those willing to dig deep and bare all, the self-portrait is a reward for your bravery – because whether you love it or hide it in the depths of your archives for decades, you’ve learned from it. Whatever your intention, there is nothing closer to an authentic portrait, than to sit both behind and in front of the lens. And whether for totally narcissistic or completely humble intents – you have to admit, it’s you.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

All the dishes in my house are white.  Okay, I have a couple of random colored pieces that I received as gifts, but even those are mostly white.  I chose white because we celebrate the food, not the plate, at my house.  It is a blank canvas–much like a blank gallery wall.  This next Call is offering you the same opportunity, but in a gallery where it counts.  Don’t chicken out, people…

Check out this Open Curatorial Call from the Allegra LaViola Gallery in Manhattan.  This is a huge opportunity if you want it to be.  I can already hear all of your excuses.  Quit it.  If you want something, you have to try or it will never come to you.  Sermon over.  Take a chance…

I never try foods solely based on their origin.  I love exotic foods, and I’ll try something new out of intrigue in a heartbeat.  But, I gave up pursuit of snooty foods because they are snooty when I gave up butchering the French language to impress the staff at the boulangerie.  This next Call has far more merit, despite its foreign eligibility restrictions.  Take a look…

The more you know about anything the better off you are about everything.

(Although I should have stuck around for pastry classes so I could have made this book cake I found a Sprinkle Bakes!)  This next mail art call offers you the opportunity to provide education that not only will provide prisoners a chance to learn which impacts their lives, but their chance to learn impacts YOU too.

CALL for ENTRIES: Postmarked 2012

For many years, inmates from around the country wrote to the Prison Library Project, and they were amazed by the artwork that accompanied requests for books. These beautiful illustrations were their inspiration for a mail art exhibition and fundraiser.

Postmarked was developed eight years ago for the Claremont Forum’s Prison Library Project, which sends books free to prisoners in the U.S. upon their request.  Providing education and opportunity to learn about mail art, view new and established mail artists’ works, and to participate in the experience of creating and sending mail art. Now in its 8th year, this exhibition is one of the largest in California.

Learn more about the 7th Annual Mail Art Show!ELIGIBILITY: Open to all.

MEDIA:  Mail art of any size and medium. ONLY the side with the official USPS Postmark/barcode will be displayed. Your mail art may be painted, stamped, collaged, printed, and/or otherwise decorated or constructed. It may be any shape and size that will go through the mail and receive an official postmark.

Your submission may get worn or torn through the mail, but the handling process is an important part of the theme. Only the side with the postmark can be displayed, due to space limitations, but the art doesn’t have to be limited to that side. You may include any message inside the envelope, which will be opened only by the person who purchases the art envelope. You may submit more than one piece… and begin sending now!

Learn more about the 7th Annual Mail Art Show!DEADLINE: Entries must be postmarked by September 30, 2012.

ENTRY FEE: None

WHY SUPPORT the PLP? “Rehabilitation was at one time a stated goal of the prison system. Today, funding for most educational and rehabilitation programs, including prison libraries, has been cut or completely eliminated. It is a distressing fact that today’s U.S. prisons are increasingly about punishing people and warehousing human beings, not about, rehabilitation, or education.”

“This is where PLP steps in. We believe that everyone deserves access to literature and educational materials, including people trying to work towards social change, self-empowerment or rehabilitation within the incarceration system.

Learn more about the 7th Annual Mail Art Show! The U.S. has less than 5 percent of the world’s population, but more than a quarter of the world’s prisoners.

 

Nearly one percent of American adults are incarcerated, the highest rate in the world, but many prisoners have little access to books or educational material. They face substantial barriers and are cut off from family and friends on the outside. While some prisons have libraries, many do not. Of those that do, access and selection can be extremely limited. Usually, prisoners are not allowed to receive books from friends or family. Thus, programs like ours are one of the few options available to these individuals.” –from the PLP website.
