NUTRITION

I have a food tattoo. Not surprised, are you? It wasn’t meant to be a food tattoo. I spent a week in NYC while in the area for my grad school interviews. So, I went to the Big Apple and decided the perfect souvenir would be to come home with a little apple. Ridiculous, I know. I’ve thought about expanding on the food theme, but I’d rather spend my money on food than tattoos, ha. Plus, I’m a wimp when it comes to pain. This next Call is interested on what’s on the body, not just tattoos. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Gallery 263 (Cambridge, MA) for the On the Body. The entry fee is only $25, and the space is beautiful. Investigate this space…

NEW TREATS

My “pup” will eat anything. Pepper, my four-legged child, is going to be a pup of ten-years-old soon. As she gets older, there are fewer and fewer things she should eat. The food she loves is of the cheapest, most fast-food sort of variety. We limit her people food to fresh veggies & the occasional egg, but her dog food and treats have taken a huge turn. The cheapest of food causes the worst of skin allergies, but for the love of this animal, I’ll probably be making her food and treats before long. This next Call is for the love of animals, not just dogs. Here’s your chance to make a difference, but they are taking the percentage from their share…

comfort FOOD

When winter hits, my mood often turns darker. But, instead of pizza & ice cream (okay, sometimes instead), I try to reset my nutritional routine. I am always surprised how unexpected foods can trigger a change in mood. Healthy fats like that found in fish, nuts, avocado are shown to improve brain health while vitamin D found in dairy (and non-dairy mylks) are a big help if I have been stuck indoors. Spicy foods offer anti-inflammatory benefits that help with circulation and my energy levels. Making a positive change in what I eat often helps me combat a negative turn in my mood when winter sets in. This next Call is all positive. Take a look…

GETTING a SHOW: Updated Resource

Getting a Show: Avoiding the Pitfalls & Pratfalls by RLGibson

ArtAndArtDeadlines.com began as a way to keep track of shows worth entering for artists, friends and peers– beginners, emerging & established. And over the years, I have found that established artists still make many the same mistakes I see from beginners, over and over again. As a gallerist, juror & critic, I am regularly asked why I choose one artist’s work over another. There is never just one reason, but there are a handful of regular mistakes that influence my decisions NOT to choose work. The obvious first issue: the art must be good, or at least promising–that should be the most important fact. But to tell the truth, there’s a gallery or a show out there for most art– the sumptuous & the sour. But, because the world is full of banana peels, we’ve newly updated one of our artist resources…

White chocolate is not chocolate. Every year I have to remind a few folks. Those cocoa bean solids are the defining issue. I’ll eat just a kiss, or a smooch if you will, of white chocolate each year. But when I say, “I’m craving chocolate”, the answer is never white-chocolate-macadamia-nut anything. Just to be clear. Consider this my yearly white chocolate PSA. And to be honest, I’d rather have my smooches & kisses a very different way –like this Call. Take a look…

“Brancusi did it. Rodin did it. Even Tamara de Lempicka did it.

“The kiss has left its mark on many works of art, from the stone carvings of Constantin Brancusi to its marble predecessor sculpted by Rodin. With her kiss, Tamara de Lempicka delivered a woman swept off her feet by a high society gentleman, clad in an oily top hat, against the cubist backdrop of a city port. Each kiss carries its own sentiment.

“When lips meet, they promise temporary escape or a lifetime of devotion. When tongues touch, they deliver notes to our lovers, detailing desire or a lack thereof.” –from onthegroundfloor.co

MEDIA: Open to all media

THEME: The kiss –open to interpretation

BLUES

I have broken my own blue-food rule. I have ranted & raved for years about food coloring. I have forever sworn off any faux food colored any shade of blue, but I have given in. This year will be my very first time in my life that I will have a “real” Christmas tree (living, as opposed to artificial). So, I decided that all the ornaments and decorations should be “real” too (read handmade or homemade). I couldn’t resist the most beautiful electric-blue gum drops I have ever seen. I am testing them out as a sweet garland. Forgive the hypocrisy, but I promise not to eat them. This next Call is another non-edible use for all things blue. Maybe this one’s for you…

GREEN

We are all careful about dairy products & cross contamination as a result of years of PSA-style campaigning about food-borne illness. But, did you know that leafy greens are among the most dangerous types of foods? Remember the bagged spinach epidemic from a few years ago. Leafy greens are at high risk for contamination from manure in the growing process. You’re not off the hook for eating greens, you just have to promise to wash this type of food really well. This Call wants to know your type; food references are optional. Great opportunity at a great gallery…

Food for women apparently exists. Well, it isn’t food exclusively for women, but I discovered there are a few foods that are even better for you if you’re female– including one of my favorites, flaxseed. Not using flaxseed? I love ground flaxseed as a substitute for bread crumbs on top of casseroles. I mix flaxseed with a little Parmesan and a mist of olive oil and return the casserole to the oven until it just starts to brown. Flaxseed adds a nutty flavor that I prefer over cracker crumbs, hands down. This Call is also meant for women. Take a look…

VARIETY

It is almost time for winter cabbage. I am always grateful to those of our local farmers that have the forethought to plant cold-hardy cabbage in late August so that we can have at least one locally-grown GREEN veggie this winter. It is neither a high-yield crop, nor is it a high profit crop. Aside from how delightful it tastes in Irish stew, I am fascinated by the other worldliness of cabbage layers. If you compare the outside leaves to the interior leaves of the cabbage head, you would assume one was some sort of alien mutant version of the other with changes in color, texture AND taste. This next Call wants your other worldliness. Take a look…
