CALL for ENTRIES: Everyday Objects

Posted on June 19, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

FLIP IT
over

The offset spatula is my favorite cooking gadget. I get asked all the time, and I suspect my answer is never what they expect. A fancy food processor or expensive hand-forged knife would probably be more standard answer, but I love the offset spatula. Personally, I prefer the 9″ offset spatula by Wilton (meant for cake icing). I use mine to both to apply gel medium to canvas when making artwork and to flip grilled eggplant for my eggplant lasagna –with a thorough wash in between. Sometimes it is the everyday object that means the most. This next Call wants your perspective of the everyday object. Everyone can work with this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from Unframed (online) for Everyday Objects. $15 entry! And please don’t forget to research your curator. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: From Our Perspectives

HOT STUFF
please

My perspective on what makes for the perfect food shifts every few years. Occasionally I get stuck in a phase for a while. I worshiped all things spicy for 5+ years, and now I’ve been stuck on the piquant tang of goat cheese for 10+ years. Taste buds only live about 10 days, so that gives lots of opportunity for a change of taste. This next Call wants a female perspective, but not necessarily on food (although it isn’t excepted). I encourage you to take on some academic shows. How about this one, ladies?

CALL for ENTRIES: Super Sheroes

MASHED

oh my!

My current kitchen kryptonite is the potato. I love them. I love them. I love them. They do not love me. They spike my blood sugar–which is fun, I’ll admit. But the eventual crash off the sugar results in my desire to stuff my face and take a 3-day long nap. I never realized how many I ate until I started trying to reduce my sugar intake. Wish me luck. This next Call will let you expose your own kryptonite, or not. Take a look…

PEANUT BUTTER

My culinary super power is making meals out of whatever I happen to find in the cabinets and making it seem purposeful. Sure, I can make a beautiful breakfast muffin from peanut butter and flax seeds. And yes, I can make cookies out of peanut butter, honey and a single egg. Okay, maybe I can just make anything out of peanut butter–the perfect ingredient. But, not everything comes with the perfect ingredients. While most folks won’t think the kit from this Call is perfect to create a masterpiece, you’ll have all the ingredients; just make it work. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Urban Aspect

Posted on June 8, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

EAT
everything

Most people, in my experience, believe that big cities, like D.C., offer the best in restaurant diversity. And, while this is perhaps true, I find the best quality food experiences are in cities just outside these areas. Take Alexandria, VA, for example. Located just outside D.C., you’ll find everything from farm to table fresh offerings to gourmet comfort foods. All the aspects of urban offerings in a slightly smaller setting. This next Call offers an urban aspect, AND it hails from Alexandria too. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Principle Gallery (Alexandria, VA) for Urban Aspect. Gorgeous gallery, historic & walkable location. Don’t miss this opportunity…

FOOD ISN’T BLUE

I have an aversion to blue foods. Blueberries & blue potatoes are really both fairly purple. Every other blue food I can think of is artificial and always screams, “bio-hazard” at me like blue drinks, candies and frosting. But have you every noticed if you go to a carnival, 5 out of 6 kids have blue rings around their mouths or blue tongues from shaved ice or cotton candy or gummy worms? Is it an age thing? I don’t know. Just don’t try to feed me your entry for this next show and we’ll be all good. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Blue. Low entry ($24) plus a great juror. If you gotta be blue, do it this way…

*Editor’s Note: It is important to let the Darkroom know you found their Call on artandartdeadlines.com. They are friends of AAAD, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES: Blue

Blue is a favorite color of all people, yet it has more complex and contradictory meanings than any other hue.

Throughout the ages, as the natural world’s color for water and sky, blue lends itself to spiritual and heavenly leanings. In these modern days, blue is embraced as the color of heaven and authority, denim jeans and corporate logos. Most blues convey a sense of trust, loyalty, cleanliness, and understanding. On the other hand, blue evolved as symbol of depression in American culture. “Singing the blues” and feeling blue” are good examples of the complexity of color symbolism and how the color has been evolved in different cultures.

For this show Darkroom Gallery is looking for all types of blue images & meanings. All the variances of the color: electric, royal, baby, periwinkle, azure, midnight, navy, dark and light. We are intrigued by naturally occurring blues and man-made blues alike. Whole images consisting of the color, or the choice sections of a photograph that astutely display the power of blue. — from darkroomgallery.com

Pimento cheese is known as the caviar of the South. It is fundamentally made with American cheese which isn’t actually cheese. So can you make authentic pimento cheese with a faux ingredient?

CALL for ENTRIES:
Faux Real

Though the idea of the ‘real’ has a multitude of meanings, it has been endlessly interpreted by artists and holds particular significance in our ever-changing world.

Artists approach reality and its relationship to representation through numerous types of media and with many distinctive standpoints. The term ‘reality’ has been consistently redefined and broadened to include new realms, like the virtual, the personal, the unscripted, the digital, the hallucinogenic.

Non-Fiction Gallery is looking for works that explore the many facets of the concept of reality.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists
