CALL for ENTRIES: Really Affordable

Learn more about the Really Affordable Art Show from BWAC!just a PINCH

Because I am self-employed, my food budget fluctuates from week to week.  I have learned how to make a casserole out of random refrigerator & freezer finds.  I have learned to keep affordable staples like rice & potatoes, sauces like salsa verde & marinara, vegetables like cabbage & carrots, and proteins like chickpeas & canned salmon.  I can serve a fantastic dinner for 4 for under $8 in a pinch.  This next Call offers art to patrons at a really affordable price to help artists begin to build a base of collectors while presenting work professionally and taking a low commission.  It is a thoughtful call.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from BWAC (Brooklyn, NY) for the Really Affordable Art Show.  There is a price cap on submissions to this show, but there is only 25% commission.  A distinguished juror & a $1000 purchase award make this is a great opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: New Directions 2017

Learn more about the New Directions exhibit from the Barrett Art Center!

pass the SALT

Did you know there is a proper direction to pass food around the table?  It dates back centuries to men, mostly right handed, who were armed at the dinner table.  If you passed food  from the right, you ran the chance of bumping in to a weapon or worse yet, causing a spilled drink.  So these days it is still considered proper to serve or pass from left to right.  After all these years, you’d think there would be a better reason or a new direction, but, no.  This next Call is a new direction, more than 3 decades old –an exhibit now in its 33rd year. Don’t miss this opportunity…

Food is political; I repeat it regularly.  Whether it is the origin of food, the growing method, the harvesting practice or the politics of the person preparing it.  How you spend your money affects both the availability of the variety, the acceptability of the practices & the relative financial success of the corresponding farmers, vendors & restaurants.  If you don’t support a food’s associated politics, don’t lend it your financial support –regardless of how good it tastes.  Food is political.  It is a hot potato, and it matters because WHAT WE EAT MATTERS.  This next Call is also political.  This is an opportunity to make space for matters to you.  Take a look…

I have a friend that claims every pack of Chicken McNuggets has one shaped like the state of Florida.  I followed the comment thread white people disputed that shape of the figure from bunnies to revolvers to other states and countries.  It devolved into what words appearing in soup & crackers and saints on toast.  People often see what they want to see.  It is like the culinary version of Rorschach ink blot test.  Fascinating.  This next Call wants to know what figures and faces you see.  Take a look…

Or is it actually the drizzle of honey?  What I have learned is that I don’t often miss the star of the show.  I miss the little extra bits that keep meals from being plain or dry or ordinary.  This next Call wants to know about the ordinary bits that mean the world to you.

My husband does design work for a commercial potter.  As a result, I find myself lingering over the kitchenware when I visit his office.  I am currently obsessed with the little 4-cup mixing bowls with a pour spout.  I own one in stainless steel, and it is my “go to” for small jobs like dressings, dips & marinades.  Having multiple, beautifully hand-thrown versions with a pour spout is nearly more temptation than I can take.  My inability to choose a glaze is the only thing saving me at the moment.  This next call celebrates both metal & glass, plus glass & wood.  Take a look…
