CALL for ENTRIES: Big Money

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

 

Learn more about the Big Money Exhibit from the JF Gallery!  FRUITY dollars

What food can you buy for one U.S. dollar?  The answer is “it depends on where you are”.  Where I live, one dollar will buy you nearly 2lbs of bananas, canned beans (even organic), dried beans, yogurt & one or pieces of a lot of tree fruits like apples, oranges or pears.  Make your own healthy dollar menu.  This next Call has another suggestion for how to use a one dollar bill.  Challenge accepted.

Check out this Call for Entries from the JF Gallery (West Palm Beach, FL) for the Big Money exhibit, featuring work on actual dollar bills.  JF Gallery would like to make this a yearly show, so send them your best.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: A Show of Heads 2018

brain FOOD

There are lots of foods I eat that give others pause.  There are lots of foods that I have tried once but will never consume again.  Then there are foods that make no sense to me, at all.  When I was in college, my favorite 24 hour diner was legendary.  It had been open since the 1930s, and because it was located just steps from the state capitol, the stories that built its reputation were also legendary.  The menu was populated with standard fare like over-easy eggs and BLTs, but among the meat options included were souse, head cheese & calf brains.  Really?  Did any of those things come in such high demand that they warranted permanent menu status? *shudder*  I’ll keep my brain associations within my own head, thank-you-very-much.  Speaking of heads, take a look…

FEEDING the anxiety

I’m notoriously an emotional eater.  I find comfort in food, and I know it is a slippery slope. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve quit trying to fight the desire to eat for comfort and have just tried to make better “comfortable” choices.  Politics being what they are in the U.S. would understandably drive anyone to drink, but I have resorted to guava.  Guava is my tropical fruit therapy, and then, of course, there’s art.  This next Call wants your political art.  Take a look…

SWEET squared

When is the last time you saw a sugar cube in a restaurant?  Me neither.  Maybe I’m going to the wrong restaurants, ha.  Did you know that before the Victorian-era sense of order gave us manageable single-serving size cubes of sugar, there was a person whose job it was to nip sugar into less large chunks than the cone-shaped loaf you brought home from your grocer.  This next Call is all about the cube or the square or smaller.  Take a look…

“. . . the brain mirrors the expanse of the entire cosmos… and beyond. Each moment is unique. Each moment is identical.” —Gabrielle Shannon

For most of my life I felt I had a good handle on people as a species –essentially good & well-intentioned but deeply flawed.  But the past few years have opened my eyes to my own bias & rocked my faith in good intentions.  The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Gabrielle Shannon, reminds me that the world is bigger than ourselves, bigger than our experience.  Check our her full statement!

pushups POPS

I remember chasing the ice cream truck and cycling away, post chase, peeling the paper away from my treasure with both hands and trying not to crash into a parked car or a jay-walking pedestrian.  In my current neighborhood, the roads are only two lanes, the tourist traffic is crazy, and there aren’t any kids on bicycles –or ice cream trucks.  I wonder if I can still ride.  Hmmm.  This next call is all about the bicycle or cycling.  I love the memories this theme conjures…

deep ROOTS

The benefits of a vegetarian diet are undeniable, but only by most reports, only 3-6% of Americans follow a plant-based diet.  But why?  Volumes have been written expounding on the “why”, but I am just grateful for the ability to make choices –good or bad.  This next Call offers you choices and could be of benefit to you and the venue.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts (Omaha, NE) for Benefit Art Auction 2018.  Do not be scared off by the words “benefit” and/or “auction”.  I am acutely aware of how often artists are asked to work for nothing.  In this case, you DO NOT have to donate all the proceeds of your work.

WAXING the rounds

To wax or not to wax the cheese.  I have a friend with cows that makes cheese regularly.  Her production is up to more than what they can eat, and her refrigerator can’t hold any more.
