FRIENDLY FRUIT
in a small world

Grocery shopping is often a small world experience for me.  I’ll be thinking of having teriyaki wings, and my husband will come home with the chicken.  Or, I’ll be dreaming of pineapple-infused rice for my salmon, and my stop at the grocery store with produce a beautifully ripe pineapple that just happens to be on sale.  I’m just lucky that way, I suppose.  Just the other day, I was thinking of a couple of pieces I saw in someone’s personal art collection, and what do you know–the juror pops up in this call.  It’s a small world…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art (Augusta, GA) for A Sense of Place.  $30 entry, fantastic juror, and a beautiful venue!
