CALL for ENTRIES: Time Will Tell

Posted on March 21, 2017March 20, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

years of WINE and art

I eat a lot of food, so do you, it is how we survive. I also see a lot of art; it is also how I survive, quit literally, since it is my occupation. I rarely know much about an artist personally before I see their work, and I am intrigued how many of the artists behind the work I love end up being in their 40s or 50s or older. It isn’t exclusively that, but it is far more common that would seem coincidental. Maybe art, like wine, cheese & beef, ages well. Show off your maturity with this next call. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Ashland University for Time Will Tell, an exhibit of work by artists at least 50 years old at the Coburn Gallery. This is an uncommon opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Fresh Paint Mag

MORE please

I seek out Greek food. I don’t have access to Greek food at home, except my husband’s exceptional version of Moussaka, so I’m always on the hunt. I have noticed a rather odd phenomenon–Greek food crossed with diner culture. I keep seeing menu after menu with both platters of fries AND bowls of Avgolemono. Sometimes it is great to expect to get one thing but find yourself with options when you take a closer look. I suppose this next Call is exactly like that. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Todd Opportunities

Posted on April 17, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

lots of
STEAM

My son is learning to cook. More accurately, my husband & I are forcing our son to cook dinner once per week. He has shown no really interest in producing meals–only eating them. So, we are not giving him an option. My concern is that if he doesn’t learn how, he’ll be forced to eat commercially-processed crap his entire life. He doesn’t like cooking. Doing anything solo the first time is scary, but my kiddo has turned it into a pressure-cooked affair. Let’s hope it gets easier. This next Call is YOUR chance to do art solo. Don’t stress, just submit a proposal…

CALL for ENTRIES: Heroes & Villians

Posted on March 3, 2015March 3, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

i hate myself
FOR LOVING YOU

Something borrowed, something new; something green, something like glue. If I am married to food, the heroes & villians in our relationship are well-defined. Despite my best efforts, potatoes continue to fight against me in the form of chips, fries & luscious, comforting soup. They aren’t inherently evil, but they do have a tendency to lean toward the dark side of gluttony for me. The heroes, conversely, tend to be green & roasted–fresh Brussels sprouts, snap beans & crowns of broccoli. As I continue to fight the good fight, here’s a great Call that will allow you to fight your own battles. LOVE this venue…

I continue to dream of exotic walapini gardening.

I’m hoping that my dream was inspired by this next Call (and not that I need medication, ha). This is a fantastic Call. Take a look…
