CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Artist Grant

cold & cheap
ROOTS

I am grateful for the apples, but I am missing fresh local veggies already. My local orchard serves as my farmers market most weeks. With their cold storage program, I can get local apples for most of the year, but the veggies they offer are limited as of November. Aside from winter squash, the only thing LOCALLY fresh I’ll have until spring are potatoes, onions and maybe a hot house bell pepper or two. My normal $25 farmers market budget will be too much for a change. This Call is a great use for the extra $. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Submissions from WorkingArtist.org for the $1000 Artist Grant/Art Purchase Award. $25 entry & send a link. It doesn’t get any easier. Don’t miss this one…

CALL for ENTRIES: Animals 2

eat my
FUNGI

I’m afraid of eating wild mushrooms. Correction, I am afraid of improperly identifying a mushroom as edible and doing unexpected harm to my family. So, I have been trying to decide whether or not to grow them myself. Growing mushrooms at home always conjures images of damp, basement-like conditions. But research indicates I can crow them on logs in dappled shade, above ground, among the living, with fewer creepy-crawlies. This next Call want to know your views, wild OR domestic, but no veggies–just animals. Take a look…

seasonal
FRUIT

My experience with pre-packaged instant food is sketchy at best. You might find a box of instant oatmeal in my cabinet for lazy winter mornings. But I find that some foods that are unnaturally dehydrated to the extreme never really recover, like cheese & coffee, while others thrive, like cocoa and popcorn. I think of instant foods a little differently –preferring portable raw nuts, fruits, and even a few cheeses, best. This time of year though, pomegranates are my favorite. Just cut them in half, thump them with on spoon on the outside, and voilà –instant snackage. This next Call wants your instant favorites. Take a look…

Sweet potato casserole, and I’m done. Turkey has never been a part of my family’s holiday traditions. In fact we are so obsessed with sweet potato casserole with a pecan pie top, we really just eat the rest of the meal as an excuse to consume ridiculous amounts of casserole. It serves as a side dish & dessert then late-night snack. We until it is gone. It takes the four of us about 2 days. I feel the need to put on stretchy pants just thinking about it. This next Call is a fun turkey project. Take a look…

BLACK TRUFFLE

What happens when food imitates visual art? At Art Basel Hong Kong in 2015, that question was answered by 10 stellar chefs. The image to the left is L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon combination of French sea bass, seasonal black truffle, celery mousse line & Malabar pepper sauce to recreate Zao Wou-ki’s dark abstract work. This dish, and at least 9 others in this vein, were available at restaurants in the Hong Kong area back in March. I can’t know how tasty it was, but, my oh my, how beautiful. This next Call wants your surreal work, but not the culinary version.

MARSHMALLOWS

The season of marshmallows & peppermint looms large. Homemade marshmallows are the BEST. I like to cut them in rounds just large enough to fit inside my mug of hot cocoa (like a giant crouton in french onion soup, ha). Mine are made simply with water, sugar, gelatin, salt & vanilla. Here’s a similar recipe if you want to give it a whirl. Your cocoa will never be the same again. This next Call wants your joyous Winter renderings. Enjoy the season…

SKINNY & FAT

125 calories per ounce. Hikers often aim to only pack foods that have a caloric count of at least 125 calories an ounce. Can you imagine? How many people do you know that eat celery because they believe it is an negative calorie food? Priorities. I am not an avid hiker. Honestly, any hike that takes me more than a day is probably out of the question. But even then I would have to pack food. I would be grateful for calorically dense food, if only because I would have less to carry, ha. This next Call hails from the ultimate hiking mecca. Take a look…

looking down the
BOTTLE

I drink everyday–bottles & bottles of water. As my alter ego, I perform 4 to 5 days per week, and on stage, I suck down approximately 24 ounces of water every 45 minutes to keep my voice in check. So, let’s talk about the bottles. I know that disposable bottles are not ideal due to the waste issue, but I am paranoid about being able to be certain that I am really getting disposable bottles truly clean. I have searched for a reusable bottle that has a large enough opening (for proper cleaning) but is both very compact (has to fit on a mic stand) and non-descript (so it doesn’t stick out in every picture). I am open to recommendations. In the meantime, here’s an idea of what to do with YOUR water. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for H2O. $24 entry. We’re proud our readers have been both shown & awarded at Darkroom. You know you have work for this theme…
