OPEN CALL: Solo Exhibit

Learn more about the Solo Exhibition Opportunity from the Torpedo Factory Art Center!PB & banana

Events have left me at home alone for lunch most days lately.  I’m not good at eating alone.  I’ll adjust eventually, but for now it is bananas & peanut butter or pasta with butter & parm.  I don’t do food solo easily, but art is a much easier solo option.  This next Call is a great outlet for solo work.  Plus, it comes with a little bit of budget.

Check out this Open Call from the Target Gallery at the Torpedo Factory (Alexandria, VA) for Solo Exhibition proposals.  The winner of this Call gets a small stipend to help produce the show.  Take a look…

After dropping my phone a dozen or more times, it finally died.  When I downloaded everything from the cloud to my new phone (yeah insurance), I left off the food photos. Now that I’m food photo-less, I’m shamelessly beginning again.  This week mushrooms, next week .  My husband is graciously eating room temp meals while I patiently get the perfect shot.  (It must be love.)  This next Call want your cell phone pics, but, per usual,  they don’t have to be of food, ha.  Submit your best…

CALL for ENTRIES: Fight or Flight

Learn more about the Fight or Flight exhibit from The Painting Center!FOOD anyone?

I received more “why food?” inquiries this week.  Because.  That’s the short answer.  Specifically I had someone to challenge the relevancy of a food theme with all that is going on politically in the U.S.  Long Answer, well, food IS political, and global. (Reminder, the world is larger than the U.S.)  Regulations governing food safety couldn’t be more political. Quinoa and milk and coffee and avocados, political. Choosing the source of your food and having confidence the quality of your options is all about politics and privilege.  I love food.  AAAD will continue to celebrate food.  We all grow and buy and cook and serve in reaction to our experiences of the world around us.  We act and react, indulge and temper, daily.  This next Call wants your reaction to current events.  Take a look…

“Looking back to specific artists’ reactions to unsettled times, there are Picasso’s Guernica & Gerhard Richter’s cycle of paintings October 18, 1977. On the other hand, Matisse created his joyful collaged paper cutouts for his Jazz series during World War II in France, and Jackson Pollock’s poured paintings were created in the 1950s during the McCarthy era. Creativity can feed off the inspiration of current events and/or a personal vision. We are looking for artists’ responses to these times in which we live, in 2017.” –thepaintingcenter.org

Appalachian cuisine is a “new” thing in food circles.  But it isn’t. Everyone carries their own baggage about regional foods.  When I was little, if you referred to mountain food, fried chicken would be hailed as the prime example.  Then with the legalization of moonshine, everyone seems to think the local fare is all about corn whiskey and cornbread.  It is all more complicated than that, I promise.  What if food, in concert with art and culture are THE answer for Appalachian economic recovery?  This next Call offers an art opportunity in Appalachia.  This is a beautiful venue…

GREENS are the new black

The greens are emerging.  Many of you know that I live in Gatlinburg and wildfires recently swept the area.  Firefighters stopped the fire a mere 6′ from my doorstep.  The forest surround my home is charred.  But all of this unseasonably warm February weather (76°F today) has prompted the most tender of green leaves and unexpected happy daffodil heads to appear.  It is just another reminder that Spring is around the corner bringing with it the soft first lettuce leaves.  I can’t wait.  This next Call is in search of emerging artists; lettuce need not apply.  Take a look…

Lavender infused whipped cream is a favorite treat in my house.  But at the moment, I am growing lavender in a window sill for my husband’s head.  The weather has been so beautiful that I’ve been leaving the doors open without benefit of screen doors, and every night mosquitoes make a meal of Jon’s forehead.  Lavender is both a sleep-inducing aromatic and a mosquito repellent.  So, homemade lavender-infused coconut oil is my medicinal hope for continuing to enjoy open doors.  This next Call wants your perspective on health & medicine, but it doesn’t have to be edible.  Plus,  free entry…

I don’t always make it in on the ground floor of food trends.  I can live without kale or acai berries, but I would miss flaxseed or tomatillos.  To each their own.  Specific foods are rarely empirically necessary.  But this next Call is definitely a ground floor show opportunity.  Take a look!

she chose to stay on earth”

Barend Paul Barnard

Every day is a choice.  The best we can do is be honest and try to be of help.  Be your best self.  When I saw “white Tara” by today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Barend Paul Barnard, I immediately thought fierce warrior for good.  She looks us in eye –forward, not ferocious.  I am inspired.
