OPEN CALL: Solo Exhibit

Learn more about the Solo Exhibition Opportunity from the Torpedo Factory Art Center!PB & banana

Events have left me at home alone for lunch most days lately.  I’m not good at eating alone.  I’ll adjust eventually, but for now it is bananas & peanut butter or pasta with butter & parm.  I don’t do food solo easily, but art is a much easier solo option.  This next Call is a great outlet for solo work.  Plus, it comes with a little bit of budget.

Check out this Open Call from the Target Gallery at the Torpedo Factory (Alexandria, VA) for Solo Exhibition proposals.  The winner of this Call gets a small stipend to help produce the show.  Take a look…

Learn more about the AiR Tilburg from the SEA Foundation!sweet or SALTY

I love anise in Indian food and my favorite Cajun rub but care little for licorice candy.  I’m not sure why.  Maybe it is that I appreciate the flavor in a salty context but not so much in sweets.  It is said that the Dutch love licorice flavor so much that the average citizen consumes more than 4 pounds of the candy a year.  Wow.  This next Call offers you the opportunity to consume all things Dutch for up to to 3 months.  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. Now that I’m food photo-less, I’m shamelessly beginning again.  This week mushrooms, next week .  My husband is graciously eating room temp meals while I patiently get the perfect shot.  (It must be love.)  This next Call want your cell phone pics, but, per usual,  they don’t have to be of food, ha.  Submit your best…

“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?

Let your mind wander to warmer climes with the work of
AAAD Artist of the Day, painter Mel Prest!

“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.

“Art is like magic, an illusion created
by the force of humanity.”
Gabe Brown

I could use a little magic.  If art is magic, like today’s AAAD Artist of the Day Gabe Brown suggests, then maybe I should make a trip to a studio, gallery or museum today.  Maybe you should too.

Take in the magic of AAAD Artist of the Day, painter Gabe Brown.

“I like to live in that very fluid space between painting, sculpture, & printmaking, and the idea of an obsessively ritualized process is still very prominent in the work.” Margery Amdur

Some people are all about intent and just work through the process.  I always have intent, but I do love process.  When I saw the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Margery Amdur, I immediately thought, “show the #wip pics”.  (They are some on Instagram, BTW.)  Celebrate the work, the making of the work, the result of the work.  Just celebrate.

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…

"untitled" (mixed media) by Tim Hallinan
“untitled” (mixed media) by Tim Hallinan

“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!
