SUSTENANCE

When left alone, I tend to eat solitary foods. I stood in my kitchen and ate cottage cheese (from the container & yes it was end of the container). For breakfast yesterday, strawberries. For Monday’s snack, pickled beets. But my meals with family or friends are balanced and diverse. I try not to overthink it; surely it is just simplicity, not laziness, right? This next Call requires neither simplicity nor laziness, but you will be on your own. Be brave…

Check out this Call for Proposals from VisArts (Rockville, MD) for 2017 Solo Exhibits at the Gibbs Street Gallery. For those of you ready to take this step, this is a great size for a solo exhibit. Take a look…

SAUCY

I like to think I eat fairly clean. But by coincidence, I ran out of all of my standard sauces at one time which necessitated my seeing them ALL in my shopping cart at once. Who new? Soy, fish, oyster, Worcestershire, Thai chili, plum, four vinegars, 3 mustards, and lets not forget sriracha. In my defense, there ARE a few of scratch-made ones like barbecue & chocolate sauce. It seems my portfolio of foods aren’t all as pure as I’d like to believe. This next Call want your purely individual portfolio. Take a look…

Bugs, both lady & stink, invade my house every winter. I can only assume their numbers increase wildly due to the need to seek warmth. The ladybugs that everyone adores are different that the erratic, mean-spirited beetle variety that haunts the windows & lampshades in my home. And the stinkbugs, oh my. Did you know that National Geographic wrote an article a few years ago suggesting that these odoriferous creatures add an apple flavor to sauces? Thanks, but no. I’ll stick with the orchard original. This next Call is the only place I want to see swarms. How about you?

SUNCHOKE

Winter vegetables are a problem. I am allergic to parsnips, tired of ever-present potatoes, refuse to pay $6 for a head of cauliflower, and am the only person left on the planet not addicted to kale. This leaves the cabbage family, spinach –and Jerusalem artichokes. I can’t remember the last time I ate time had this lovely tuber. One of the best things about root vegetables is they are rarely bought excessively under-ripe, and since most folks roast or mash them, they are rarely too ripe. That makes them easy to buy and uncommonly wasted. Where are my keys? Road trip. I am headed to the grocer, but you should head to this next Call for road trips. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Gallery Art Underground (Arlington, VA) for the Road Trip exhibit. This theme is ripe with opportunity. Don’t miss your chance…

ARTIST of the DAY: Laurie Freitag

balls balls BALLS

February is a building month, a building, re-building, structuring, restructuring month for me. Some of the balls that I am supposed to keep in the air can sit idly on the ground for a few weeks in February while I throw the other balls a little higher hoping they gain air. That’s the dream —an illusion, really. Most days I feel like all the balls are on the ground, piling up around me. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Laurie Freitag has clearly been lurking in my psyche. (continues below)

"Balls" by photographer Laurie Freitag — *“Balls” by photographer Laurie Freitag*

“‘The Lost Years’, of which ‘Balls’ is a part, focuses on the years before five in which most people cannot remember. I look at photographs of myself before five and see how happy I was and wish I could remember those times. Does the mind remember sad times more than happy times? Was I posing for the camera with a smile? What was real?”

CUKES

Cucumber frequently replaces crackers & bread in our house due to a family-wide wheat allergy. I love the crisp texture coupled with the ridiculously low price. If you have ever grown your own, you know that they fruit prodigiously, so they cost precious little. But I have recently volunteered to pay more for my cucumbers. No, I didn’t go organic; I went English. I can’t go back. English cucumbers aren’t usually waxed because plastic wrapping helps contain the moisture, and they are less bitter due to the smaller seeds. But the true benefit for me is that they seem to spoil at such a slow rate that I never have to throw anything away. The benefit outweighs the cost. The return on this next opportunity is worth every penny too. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from WorkingArtist.org for the Working Artist Photography Award. This may very well be the simplest process for the amount of the return. $25 Entry. Don’t miss this one…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Mind’s Eye

Posted on January 26, 2016January 26, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

BREAKFAST blahs

We always end up eating eggs for breakfast. I am so bored with eggs. Because I try to avoid single-use appliances, I didn’t own a waffle iron until I inherited one second-hand from my mother-in-law last week. We’ve had waffles 4 times in the last 7 days. My husband asked, “Don’t you want something different?” I explained that appearance of something 4 times in our nearly 20 years together still qualifies as something different even if the 4 times were all in one week. The award for best waffles EVER goes to this morning’s blueberry bacon maple variety. He deserves a cash award, really. This next Call comes with cash awards but no blueberry waffles. It is still worth a look though…

Check out this Call for Entries from All-About-Photo.com for The Mind’s Eye for a showcase at the Jules Maeght Gallery (San Francisco, CA) in addition to an online gallery. Big jury pool, big prizes & reasonable entry fee. Take a look…

Despite not mentioning them for a year or two, I am still MAD about chia seeds. Still loving using them to may refrigerator jam. But, I just tried this chia parfait and renewed my LOVE of this peculiar, tiny food. Plus, you also have the raw ingredients to make a chia pet, ha. Good things come in small packages, like this next Call. Take a look…

7 DAYS

Veggies everyday seems simple. There are many different perspectives on how much is enough, but the average recommendation is 5 servings a day (approximately 1/2 c., well packed, per serving). Five days a week, no problem, but because I travel for work so often, those last 2 days seem to elude me. I still manage 2 or 3 fruits & veggies a day, but the full five is a struggle. Celebrate seven with this next call. Open to all media…

CRUCIFEROUS

I struggle with the debate over the cost of healthy food vs. fast food. I struggle with the idea that there are food snobs out there that believe that “healthy food is expensive” is an excuse, instead of a reason. Healthy food IS expensive. Cauliflower, a relatively unsexy vegetable, is currently $6 a head at the grocery. Six dollars. That is insane. Asparagus, sure, but cauliflower? Really. And cost aside, there really are places in this country where access to fresh food is limited by availability, transportation & a lack of knowledge or ability to prepare it if it were accessible. So, instead of clever memes, can we just take a moment to talk about a culture that ignores hunger because it “doesn’t affect me”? Do you have to have something to say about the culture outside your window? This Call is the perfect opportunity to let your work speak…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Culture. $24 entry. We’re proud our readers have been both shown & awarded at Darkroom. I cannot wait to see this exhibit…
