CALL for ENTRIES: Cape Fear Pottery

I’ve been enjoying a Summer of barbeque–tomato-based, mostly, with a dry rub here and there. But, I kind of miss the mustard-based BBQ of South Carolina. And on the even more rare occasion, my thoughts turn to vinegar-based BBQ of North Carolina. It is a lighter, tangy taste than the heavy, pass-the-antacid variety common to most of the South. If you go to the opening for this next Call in NC, be sure to try it. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Cape Fear Studios (Fayetteville, NC) for the 19th Annual Nellie Allen Smith National Juried Pottery Competition. The juror is incredibly talented in her own right, and the entry fee is pretty standard. Don’t miss this opportunity…

THE NAKED

CHEF

Don’t you love it when a movie or tv show depicts the uninhibited excitement of cooking naked or with nothing but an apron on? Unless you subscribe to a raw food diet, I don’t recommend it.

CALL for ENTRIES: A Bug’s Life

Posted on July 21, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

ANTS
in my
pants cans

My kitchen is clean-ish. Can you eat off my floors? Absolutely not. I am pretty good about cleaning as I cook so there isn’t a disaster to clean up afterward. And, crumb-y counters are my pet peeve; so I keep them wiped down. But despite my best efforts, I have an ant problem. I find a dozen or so small black ants on my kitchen counters every time I go in. I’m tempted to incorporate them into my next recipe just to send a message to the rest of their kind. This next Call could be a reason to spare their little lives, or not…

Check out this Call for Entries from the 1650 Gallery (Los Angeles) for A Bug’s Life. The entry fee is only $25, and the 1650 Gallery also offer free matting and framing (if you stick to their pre-set sizes). Take a closer look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
A Bug’s Life

Ah, the mysterious world of the insect. Some are cute and cuddly, like the furry caterpillar. Some are fierce and scary, wearing their skeletons on the outside to frighten us. Some are artistic and majestic like the beautiful butterfly. And some are just downright romantic, like the firefly on a warm summer evening.

Nothing stretches the photographic imagination like a visit to a strange new world, but on this trip you needn’t go far to find a photo worthy subject; the wonderful world of bugs intersects and parallels our own. Like humans, bugs are everywhere! So this month, forget the cobwebs of your mind, grab your camera and your knee pads and worm your way into the nooks and crannies of the fantastic world of the creepers and the crawly!

PURELY PEPPERED
creativity

In the ongoing saga of kitchen creativity, my most recent attempt at mint chocolate chip went a little off course. Who new 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract would be too much in 1 1/2 quarts of ice cream. Just trust me on this one. I suppose this was a drawback to complete kitchen freedom, ha. May this next Call for creative freedom be more successful for you than my mint ice cream experiment. It isn’t just for filmmakers…

Check out this Call for Entries for Mono No Aware. This is a really cool FREE way to stretch your creative streak even if film is not your normal media. Be sure to investigate this one…

Mono No Aware 2013

Film & video have become easily accessible. One can watch content on a website, television, a home projector, or even a cell phone. For some artists and filmmakers those vehicles are copies of the original artwork, each one degraded by its format. MNA believes there is a magic in seeing the film projected as a print. There is a presence a poet has reading his/her own writing. There is a feeling that resonates in your chest when seeing a band live. For these reasons MNA encourages live music, performance and audio to expand the cinematic experience beyond the screen. MNA asks that in the spirit of the festival you not video or create copies of your performance. Some participants have gone as far as to destroy the work after its first run at the event.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Contemporary art that incorporates Super 8mm, 16mm, 35mm or altered light projections as part of a sculpture, installation, dance, or expanded cinema performance. Submissions including digital projections will not be considered (i.e. HDcam, DigiBETA, DVcam, DVD) all moving images should be from an analog source.

DEADLINE: October 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: Nov. 15, 2013

ENTRY FEE: None. They believe that your time and effort are fee enough. But, if you would like your film and materials sent back to you it is necessary to include a self-addressed stamped envelope with enough postage to get your items from Brooklyn, NY. (11211 zip code) back to your mailing address.

CALL for ENTRIES: Unhinged

Posted on July 16, 2013July 16, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

SQUASHED
squash

I think the teenagers that work at my local market think I am the crazy produce lady. It might have something to do with the muttering under my breath when they drop the pineapple on my tomatoes or the fact that I will stand in a longer line to get the cashier that won’t drop a cantaloupe on my cilantro. The muttering prevents me from coming unhinged. The only thing missing from the scenerio is my muttering “whippersnappers,” but I assure you it will show up eventually. Hehe. This next Call wants unhinged in a less curmudgeonly way, I suspect. You decide…

BUMPER CAR
burgers

Eating in the car is dangerous. Don’t get me wrong; I’ve done my share of car consumption. The back floorboard of my car looks like a fast food trash can sometimes. But on my way home yesterday, I watched a young woman t-bone a truck with her compact car while munching on a burger. Her view seemed blocked by the wax paper wrapper. I’m just saying, “Be careful out there.” This next Call is another reason to keep your eyes on the street. Great show…

Eye on the Street

Street photographers are guerrilla documentarians. They capture the world as they see it, using small and forgotten moments to present a larger narrative. Themes of class, age, occupation, or background are brought to life by small stories that evoke our shared humanity.

The keen eyes of street photographers see what others take for granted, and depict the richness and variety of our public lives. For Eye on the Street, The Kiernan Gallery seeks street photography in all its forms.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA:
All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE:
July 25, 2013

FOOD

Menu planning is great in theory. I do it most weeks only to end up picking out dinner much like throwing a dart at a dart board. I open the frig, find a miscellaneous ingredient like fava beans and base an entire meal on it. It is part laziness and part indecisiveness. My taste buds often object to my meal planning. Hmph. What’s a girl to do? I don’t know either. This next Call involves a dARTboard of its own. Take a look…

HOLD THE MILK
please

Even my dogs have become finicky eaters. They have always been Milk-Bone® kind of dogs. But it seems that lately they have started turning up their nose to their usual treats. I’ve tried peanut butter flavored and beef basted with no results. I already bake a lot of foods from scratch for my family, and I fear dog treats may get added to the list soon. If I am going to make treats, I’d rather make them for the hard working pups involved with this next call instead of my spoiled brats. Take a look…
