CALL for ENTRIES: 11th National

Posted on December 6, 2016December 7, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

totally BAKED

I crave comfort food. I have always been an emotional eater, and in my defense, this year HAS sucked. Bizarre business twists, unexpected career delays, personal financial crisis followed by health issues, a relentless year of election propaganda and now a wildfire, a house robbery & now more dreams delayed. I want baked goods. Is there a healthier way to tackle trauma? Of course. Bite me. I need the comfort of things familiar like baked goods — and the venue for this next Call. It is a soft spot for me, and I want it to be for you. Love…

CALL for PROPOSALS: Curatorial 2019

Posted on November 28, 2016November 28, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

NUTTY bravery

Sometimes you just have to jump in and try. Wary of a new food? Hold your nose and stick out your tongue–it just takes a few seconds of bravery. This is how I learned that I hate pistachios and love goat cheese. By trying them. This Call will be the same idea for many of you. Fifteen dollars, five images and a clear vision of your project in written form. That’s all it takes. Maybe it is time to take the leap from local shows to national shows, from national to international shows, from juried to self-curated. You can do it. I know you can. If you need help, message me. Believe in you; I do…

CALL for ENTRIES: Expo 36

Posted on November 23, 2016November 23, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

fast FARE

The freezer saves dinner about two days a week in my house. We purposefully cook more portions than we can eat and save the leftovers. It started out as a way to send lunch with my kiddo for school, but it has become a dinner rescue regularly. When you get busy and have forgotten to plan for dinner and live nearly a half hour from the closest grocery or restaurant, you’re grateful for frozen leftovers. This next Call is not a leftover or frozen, but I did neglect to plan the publication more than a few days out from the deadline. Sorry about that…

CALL for ENTRIES: Materialized

Posted on November 2, 2016November 2, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

wedding SWEETS

Practical 3D food printing exists. years ago I made some clever segue using Star Trek’s food replicator as a the unthinkable –food printing. And now, there is the Bocusini, which uses all-natural food cartridges to print solid-ingredient food sculpture. The first use that pops to mind is EDIBLE, miniature, exact reproductions of human body scans for wedding cake toppers. Not the first thing that popped into your mind? Is it just me? What a perfectly unreasonable, delightfully impractical application. This next Call wants your artistic applications, practicality not required. These calls are rare; don’t miss it…

CALL for ENTRIES: Order & Chaos

Posted on November 1, 2016October 31, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

PAPER or plastic?

Do you prefer boxes or bags in your pantry? I like the structure of boxed pasta, beans & cereal, but I love the price of most things bagged. I prefer not to store things in plastic, but I’m not convinced the process used to create cardboard is any better. I own a lot of glass which inevitably involves breakage and the energy consumption involved in cleaning and/or sterilization. It can be difficult to distinguish the order from the chaos, but this Call offers us a second change. Give it a shot…

CALL for ENTRIES: Stories, Parables & Tall Tales

Posted on October 30, 2016October 30, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

DINNER anyone?

I’ve been eating with strangers lately. That is, I’ve had the privilege of eating family-style –from farm-to-table dinners with 20 at a table, or a restaurant with 8 at a table. It reminds me of stories my grandmother used to tell of Sunday dinners in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, when her family, that included 10 children, would just lay a sheet over the home-grown & prepared food on the dining room table after everyone ate, just in case friends or neighbors dropped by. They didn’t have much except a wealth of food to share. I love the planned inclusion of unplanned guests and the stories that must have inevitably followed. This next Call offers you an opportunity to tell your own story. Don’t miss the opportunity…

JUROR: Often dreamlike and enigmatic, Christine Brennan’s work features a host of symbolic and allegorical reference. Brennan’s images draw from the unconscious, leading the viewer into richly-lit narratives that evoke personal stories and associations. As a painter and printmaker, Brennan works in oil on paper or board and hand-colored linoleum block prints. Never setting out to illustrate a specific theme or story, the artist creates each image as she goes, changing and shaping it along the way.

AWARDS: 1st Place $500, 2nd Place $200 & 3rd Place $100

with a CHERRY on top

Long-time readers have felt my pain at the lack of ethnic culinary options in my little hometown. But we HAVE recently added superb Thai & Indian food to list. There is ONE really inconveniently located German restaurant –which is like not having one. But, I still await Ethiopian food (never going to happen) & Hungarian food (craving hideg meggyleves, a chilled cherry, sour soup). Soup is not the only reason to consider this next residency Call.

hopefully NUTTY

I spent 10 years of my childhood as a resident of the state of Georgia in the United States. Many of my neighbors ran cottage food businesses. In the State of Georgia, you can apply for a commercial license to produce a limited variety of foods in your home kitchen for sale to the public — like breads, candy, jams, jellies, nuts & more. This “maker culture” shaped my entrepreneurial spirit as a child. Kudos Georgia. This next Call also hails from Georgia and should inspire the maker in you. Take a look…

beware the DELI MEATS

My first encounter with a peppercorn was in olive loaf. My father deluded himself into the notion that a seven year old was the target audience for this studded meat product. I survived. I love olives, and fresh peppercorns make my stock & dressings sing. (I still shun the loaf of olive, though.) Both olives & peppercorns are perfect example huge impact in tiny packages — the inspiration for the next Call. Take a look…

easy being GREEN

I’m still eating local greens even though it is almost November. Pressure-cooked mustard & collard greens served with a dash of vinegary hot sauce is a rite of passage in the South. You aren’t really an adult if you don’t love cooked greens, but I’ve never had a taste for anything except creamed spinach, making me feel like the hometown heel. But, I am newly-enamored of raw greens. Everyone yearns for Spring lettuce, but my Fall salads of peppery mustard greens highlight my recent menus–still available locally, and they last forever. What reminds you of your hometown? This Call wants to see your hometown images. Take a look…
