I have a friend who hates cucumbers.  He once described them as “vile” in conversation.  Vile.  Everyone knows someone who dislikes Brussels sprouts or olives or grapefruit, but cucumbers?  They are so mild.  Is there a food that is universally loved? I can’t think of one off the top of my head.  I do, however, know an art venue that is universally loved– Waterloo Arts.  Maybe this one is for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from Waterloo Arts (Cleveland, OH) for the 2017 Juried Exhibition.  A great venue & juror, plus all accepted artists get a small honorarium.  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.

“Off Screen” (acrylic & phosphorescent acrylic on panel, 2014) by Mel Prest

“My work shifts and changes in response to light and proximity. I layer conflicting personal references, such as fog colors, music, fabric and thought patterns, to create a new shape-space. I want spontaneity and chance to influence the outcome and direction of each piece.” —Mel Prest

•

As Winter shifts into Spring, I find my creative inspiration also seems to shift in focus and tone, both physical and metaphorical.  I was intrigued to read about the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day Mel Prest and her awakening to the influence of the difference of the quality of light from San Francisco and Brooklyn.  I’m facing a move of nearly 2300 miles; will my work change too?  Does your work change depending on your geographical location?

“I build my works with a sense of fragmentation . . . a metaphor of daily life.” —Maria Santacecilia

I have buttons from everywhere. I have collected them for no reason for years and years.  And just yesterday, I met an artist yesterday that makes button bracelets as a fundraising source for a non-profit that provides showers and laundry facilities for homeless women.  Today, I came across this drawing by today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Maria Santacecilia, and as a musician, it spoke to me.  Then I saw the buttons, those things that hold everything together. Lovely.

CALL for ENTRIES: Fight or Flight

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

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

My grandmother loved fairy food.  She would boil sugar and vinegar together for what felt like forever (15 minutes) and then add baking soda at the last minute.  Magically, it seemed, the concoction would turn almost orange.  Once cooled, it had this beautifully buttery flavor.  Sugar + vinegar = fairy food.  Try it.  In the meantime, this next Call is all about the fairies.  Maybe a fairy kitchen?  This one is creative fun…

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…

“I’m drawn to the endless geometry, structure and sometimes lack of order of the urban environment and I think that’s where my ideas begin.” —Tim Hallinan

•

Again I contemplate beginnings.  I am a believer in being a professional beginner.  It is never too late to begin again.  When I stumbled across the statement of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Tim Hallinan, his “I think that’s where my ideas begin” struck a chord with me.  Maybe I should examine my re-starts and points of departure for patterns.  Or maybe not.

Another reminder to be inspired by your environment comes from AAAD Artist of the Day, painter Tim Hallinan!

CALL for ENTRIES: Photo Grants

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

MENU starts

Every meal needs a start point, a launch pad of sorts.  That start is often inspired by a random item that catches my eye in the pantry.  Black-eyed peas become the start for hoppin’-john-inspired tamales.  Corn sometimes inspires chowder while blueberries end up in pancakes.  This next Call offers two opportunities, one to help you launch your project or another to help develop an existing project.  The deadlines if fast approaching so take a look today!

Canning food is a time-consuming preparation, but the rewards are huge.  So far, I have managed to shrugged the task off on my mother. Tomatoes, beets & chow chow are my favorites, but eventually she will make me take over.  The last time I canned tomatoes, it resulted in jars exploding in my laundry room.  No amount of time makes makes that mess worth it, but this next Call will buy you 6 months.  Take a look…
