CALL for ENTRIES: Art of Brands (Spring)

my italian
HERO

What would we do without the iconic dishes that make up the safety net? You know the ones…everyone likes some version of it. They tend to be my “go to” meals on nights when I have to plan in advance. Since I don’t know what anyone will be in the mood for, I hit the highlights. Tonight is spaghetti night. No matter who is coming, I can cover vegetarian, vegan & gluten-free if need be. This Call is all about iconic art categories. Please investigate this one. If you work in 2-D, there is probably a way to make this work for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art of Brands (a new AAAD sponsor) for Iconic Images. There is no entry fee, and this could be a great way to earn money from your art. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: So many of you have talked to me about selling your work w/o being bogged down running a gallery or about art fairs or gallery representation. I know you often leave the conversation not feeling like nothing is accessible. I like THIS opportunity. If you work in 2-D, don’t dismiss this Call. Some of you might consider simply doing what you already do but direct some content to suit this purpose. It won’t be for everyone, but I think it is a valid option for a lot of you.

Cookbook authors have my number. Make the food look fantastic on the cover, and I’ll buy it. Yes, I judge books (some books) by their covers. I recent bought quick & easy thai.

on a ROLL

Stuffed cabbage is a recipe that takes me back to my childhood. My grandmother had such a talent for making perfect little rolls. I wish I had paid better attention to how she did that because I struggle to make them presentable. Imagine my delight when I found a recipe for Deconstructed Stuffed Cabbage. So excited to try this one. In the meantime, this next Call is all about the CONstructed not the DEconstructed. Loving this theme…

my
BLACK BEAN
habit

Ethnic grocery stores are gateway habits for foodies. My favorite Cuban cookbook led me to my local Hispanic grocery in search of ingredients for authentic congri, and I came home with products I cannot pronounce and for which I have no use. So exciting. I appreciate being introduced to new food organically, so to speak. *snicker* This Gallery discovers artists for future shows from entries to open calls like this one. Organically…

CALL for Entries: Still Life / Life Still

ATE hours later

Cooking has moved into slow motion in my house. As much as I want to hurry Spring along, I am reminded of our current Winter status by the icy wind that greets me at my front door each morning. So, my slow cooker lives in a perpetual circuit from counter to refrigerator to sink to counter to refrigerator to sink–almost daily. Tonight is lentil soup with bacon. This next Call wants to see what happens when life stills completely. An intriguing take on a traditional form…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Still Life / Life Still. They always have a low entry fee ($24) & a great juror. This theme leaves room for the traditionalist as well as those with a vastly different point of view. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Still Life / Life Still

The study of inanimate objects; subject matter, placement and compositional balance imply meaning that surmount everyday functionality. Historically, a still life composition is an array of commonplace objects, inert and set in space. These objects often include natural components such as plants, fruits, vegetables, nuts, flowers accompanied by man made objects like dishes, boxes, mirrors and vases within an interior setting at eye level like a table top. Darkroom Gallery wants to contextually explore the Still Life; some may take a traditional approach. Others may see Still Life/Life Still as a vehicle to explore new artistic possibilities, in form, function or to convey political or emotive meanings. Objects caught in their natural surroundings & documented on the fly can make just as poignant an image, i.e., Life Still. — from darkroomgallery.com

CALL for ENTRIES: Colour Burst

Posted on January 5, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

JUST SAY NO
the brown has gotta go

I’m growing weary of brown foods. We don’t often fry anything in our house, and we don’t eat wheat. But, because we try our very best not to eat processed or artificially-colored food, the color in our diets almost solely depends on fresh vegetables. There isn’t an abundance of beautifully colored veggies in season right now. And, I can only eat so many servings of spinach and so many servings of sweet potatoes. Bring on the beets, please. Spring is coming. Spring is coming. Spring is coming. I know it is. In the meantime, lets all direct our rainbow-coloured desires to this next Call. Take a look…

LINING UP
for dinner

As linear foods go, I make a mean grilled eggplant lasagna. I don’t usually fall for the layered foods like 7-layer dips and trifles, but lasagna is the exception. Most people are replacing the meat when they use eggplant in lasagna, I’m really replacing the noodles. While I can find wheat-less pasta of most types, lasagna noodles have eluded me. So, eggplant makes a gorgeous replacement. I make it in a glass plan just to get the composition perfect. Ridiculous. This next Call is a far better use of a line obsession. Take a look…

Lines are powerful compositional elements that control the way eyes move through an image. The effect that lines have on an image varies.

This next Call is another reasons Iowans should be proud. Investigate this opportunity…
