CALL for ENTRIES: 52nd Masur

Posted on December 4, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

EARLY
to rise?

Breakfast is beloved in my house. Everywhere I have ever lived, including some time in the Virgin Islands, breakfast has been the biggest meal of the day because it was always the cheapest. Even tiny islands in the Caribbean can raise chickens instead of importing eggs. So, a cheeseburger might be $18, but breakfast was always under $5. Those days have passed, and breakfast can be a pricey endeavor. It is apparently even more expensive if you get up a little later and call it brunch. Start your morning with this next Call because it is definitely cheaper than brunch. 🙂 Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 52nd Annual Juried Exhibition from the Masur Museum of Art (Monroe, LA). $10 entry fee, no commission, and the gallery is stunning. This is a great opportunity!

Firmin holds an M.A. from Bard College’s Center for Curatorial Studies, and was awarded a Philadelphia Exhibitions Initiative Fellowship at Arcadia University Art Gallery. At the UB Art Galleries, Firmin established an annual residency program in which artists are presented with an empty gallery to transform over time while open to the public. These commissioned projects aim to forge meaningful interactions between artists and diverse groups of people while acknowledging a turn toward research-based and ephemeral site-specific approaches in contemporary art. In 2014 Firmin co-chaired (with Julian Cox) the Association of Art Museum Curators’ annual conference in Detroit, and moderated the panel Urban Ecologies and Cultural Exchange.

AWARDS: Best in Show is $1,000, and total awards are $3,200.00. The People’s Choice Award is $200.00 and will be voted on by visitors throughout the run of the exhibition.

The award is $100. *No packing peanuts, feedbags, loose papers as packing materials, no cigarette butts, etc. These types of things will disqualify you! This prize will be decided by the Masur Museum staff. I ♥ this!

TREATS

I am fascinated by small food & small restaurants. There is something special about the smallest of goodies served in the smallest of places. One automatically assumes great care has been taken because you have less real estate literally & figuratively to make an impression. Sel et Gras in NYC was always on my list to try, but I heard it closed. Do you have any suggestions I should try? I suggest you take part in this next study in tiny art. This could be a good opportunity for some of you.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Pitt County Arts Council (Greenville, NC) for The Tiny Art Show at Emerge Gallery & Art Center. If you are looking to add a line to your resume from a legitimate arts organization, this is a great resource. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Embracing our Differences

Posted on October 15, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

sweet or
SOUR?

There’s a battle brewing in my house. We live within 15 miles of two apple orchards. We only have room for a 5lb. bag of apples each week. This time of year, Crispins (green/golden apples) get my vote, while my husband seems single-mindedly obsessed with Braeburns (red apples). I don’t care what color they are, but red apples tend to be sweeter. We’ve finally taken to trading off weeks. On my weeks, I get to eat my slightly sour raw green apples; on his weeks, we make apple tarts, pies & crisps out of the red variety. I’m trying to embrace our differences–like the them of this next Call. Take a look…
