CALL for ENTRIES: 38th Season

Posted on August 16, 2016August 16, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

wine & DINE

I see a lot of theatre performances while hangry –grouchy from a lack of food! Showtimes frequently hover around dinner time, and unless I want to eat an early bird meal, I usually wait until afterwards. It makes me grouchy, so my hubby force feeds wine & cheese before hand out of self preservation, ha. This next Call is from a theatre that offers a full meal (and gallery space) at the theatre. Genius…

CALL for ENTRIES: Banner Project

Posted on August 8, 2016August 8, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

Farmers markets are changing. They used to be the place to find great fresh produce and unique varietals of mushrooms and herbs. I love the smell of fresh dirt on fresh food in the summer heat of my car with the windows rolled down. But things change. Evolution is as necessary as preservation is. It doesn’t mean that dirt on the veggies has no place, it simply means squeaky-clean hydroponic lettuce, artisinal soft drinks & ready-made gazpacho should be just as welcome. Views on preserving the natural within the evolving landscape are sought in this Call. Spend the time to research this theme…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Sea

Posted on August 2, 2016August 2, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

hold the FISH

Although I prefer living in the mountains, I truly love coastal food –fresh fish, citrus squeezes & sticky sweet frozen treats. But you know what really makes me think of the beach? Muffulettas. They are the perfect “sea-food”, like an antipasto sandwich with olives and peppers, meats and cheeses all marinated and compressed in a hollowed out crusty loaf or round. An entire meal in a handful that doesn’t get stale or mushy. This next Call wants to know about your sea experience. Take a look…

ARTIST of the DAY: Hank Willis Thomas

Posted on July 25, 2016July 25, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

"I Am A Man" by Hank Willis Thomas — *“I Am A Man” by Hank Willis Thomas*

“This series of paintings was inspired by a 1968 photograph by Ernest Withers of marchers during the Memphis sanitation workers March. Martin Luther King was assassinated while there in support of the March. The men carried signs which read ‘I am a Man’. I found it fascinating that the the phrase I grew up with was ‘I am THE Man’. The collective statement became individualistic in the age of integration. Reflecting on American history I wanted to riff and remix the text, ultimately ending with the revelation ‘I Am. Amen.’ MLK showed us that our greatest gift is our consciousness and it is up to us what we choose to do with it.” —Hank Willis Thomas

I implore you to listen. Listen. Understand your privilege, whatever it may be. Being defensive doesn’t serve you. Don’t just look at people; SEE them. Love people for their humanity — both strengths & flaws. Respect the space each person needs to work and speak and react to community in which they live. Recognize that people have the right to be who they are, regardless of, and even in spite of, your expectation of them. I am inspired by the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Hank Willis Thomas. You can change the world. Start with you.

CALL for ENTRIES: Points of Departure

Posted on July 24, 2016July 24, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

FRUITY fantasy

Food transports me. While I travel a lot regionally, I spend far less time west of the Mississippi, much less outside the U.S. borders, than I would like. If I can’t be there or go there today, or this year, food offers an escape to places far and near — both past favorites & those destinations yet untraveled. This next Call wants to discover the places to which you depart. Take a look…

CALL to ARTISTS: Purchase Award

Posted on July 23, 2016July 23, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

fast FOOD

Groceries arrived at my door this week. You see, we chose to become a one-car family years ago. We live fairly remotely –2.5 miles from the closest two-lane road and nearly 10 miles to a minor four-lane highway. So, when the water pump on our car erupted in the driveway, getting groceries became a challenge for the weekend. Luckily, we have access to a grocery delivery that costs less than the taxi to and from the grocery store would cost. Some days, you just need a little help. This next Call wants to offer a little help to artists. Take a look…

one POTATO, two POTATOES

I caught my child harvesting poisonous potatoes. Digging up a rare, toxic tater is a good thing I’m told. They weren’t meant for us, luckily, and he didn’t dig them from our yard. He found them in the Desert Biome on Minecraft. If you don’t understand that last sentence, fear not, you can stick to checkers or chess for this next Call. Play through…
