CALL to ARTISTS: Farm, Winery & Bistro

Posted on January 20, 2014January 20, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

CHEERS
to you

There is very little in this world that I love as much as a glass of wine alongside a freshly-made pate. But red wine decided it didn’t like me a decade ago, and I’ve never been a fan of beef liver. So, what does one do? A beautiful white and a thrifty chicken liver pate. I smell a date night coming in all of this. In the meantime, this next Call offers a business excuse to drink wine. It’s all about the rationalization sometimes…

Check out this Call for Entries from Six Summit Gallery (Ivoryton, CT) for Farm, Winery & Bistro at Chamard Vineyards (Clinton, CT). This show offers a unique opportunity to possible design your own wine label. Be sure to check this out…

TO EAT

Being hungry is my nightmare. Some people are afraid of snakes or the dark or being a victim of a crime. I fear hunger. To my knowledge, there is no deep-seated hunger issues in my childhood. I just scares me. Hunger isn’t just prevalent in rural areas or third-world nations. People are hungry every where, every day, from the country to far more urban areas. I’d like to see a little more attention-getting street artists focus their work on the people in the shadow of their work that are hungry. This next show is an opportunity…

BOWL
me over

We eat soup three or more evenings per week in the Winter. I try to work out most mornings and then do a little dinner prep before I sit down to publish the day’s post. Today it is ham and vegetable soup. The secret to most of my soups is the thickener. Cornstarch will work, but I prefer pureed pinto beans. Great source of fiber and silky texture.

CALL for ENTRIES: Art Biologic 2014

Posted on January 9, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

here a CHICKEN
there a GOAT

As I search for land for the straw bale house that my family intends to build, critters have become an issue. I am thrilled by the prospects of having chickens for eggs & goats for milk, but am I really dedicated to the biology of it all? Do I really want to be married to the drama of a chicken coop and all the possible predators? Do I really want to give up spontaneous long weekends due to a milking schedule? It may BE all natural, but it doesn’t necessarily COME NATURALLY. This next call wants your take on the art of biology, but it needn’t be all chickens and goats. Take a look…

TICKET

The only thing I know about football is tailgating food & Super Bowl party appetizers. But somehow, I ended up with dozens and dozens of Facebook friends that are seemingly obsessed. Every Sunday, my news feed fills with ALL-CAPS exclamations of joy, disbelief and frequent devastation over this game. I don’t get it, but I do know what they eat. In the meantime, apparently there are galleries where they like the game too. Maybe this one is for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Barsky Gallery (Hoboken, NJ) for Art’s Salute to Football. There’s no entry fee, but the commission is 50%. If it doesn’t sell, you may have the perfect gift for the football fiend in your family. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Washington Pavilion

don’t cut the
CAKE

Isn’t it funny how certain seasons suddenly bring about the craving for very specific foods? It never occurs to most people to even think about fruitcake until we start seeing winter holiday decorations appear. My German in-laws (3rd generation via Wisconsin) save kuchen for Christmas. Kuchen is German & approximately translates to “cake,” but I know it as a sort of custard & jam filled sweet-dough, low-rise cake that screams Christmas. Much to my surprise, it is also the state dessert of South Dakota–the home of this next Call. This is a beautiful venue, by the way…

getting my
GOAT

I have a significant number of friends that simply won’t cook for me. They assume, based on my writing, that I might be too discerning. It is ridiculous and unfounded, of course. I eat everything (except wheat). But many of them have read enough of my posts to feel safe if they always include a stinky cheese. And, a handful of them have read my posts closely enough to know that goat cheese is proverbial gold. If you only get one chance to make a first impression, goat cheese is always the gold standard. This next Call gives you an opportunity to see if your work is the gold standard. Please take this chance…

Because you know I’ve been a foodie for so many years, it should come as no surprise that my weight has fluctuated for decades. I have been everything from a size 8 to a size 24 over the years. I have given up carbs, given up fat, eaten only fruit, eaten only soup… You name it, and I’ve tried it. Nothing ever worked for long. Then I was forced to quit eating wheat, and my weight stabilizes. Go figure. I’m not a size 8, or a 24, but I haven’t gained or lost more than 2 lbs in 8 months. This next Call is all about YOUR figure. Take a look…

can you
SEE ME
now?

I recently moved into a 2-story rondette house. In case you are unfamiliar, it a 12 sided house with cathedral ceilings. Due to the construction method, there are no overhead lights–none. Cooking by stove light is an adventure. You CANNOT enter this next Call without dealing with the light issue. Investigate the idea…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Illumine

Light is that which compels a photograph into being: shifting, glowing, luminous, obscure or brilliant.

The medium of photography brazenly defined: How our tools, environs and subjects respond to light. Sometimes the light plays a more prominent role in a photograph, sometimes as a supporting actor and sometimes as the protagonist itself.

Low light, bright light and every stop in between. Light can be luminous & rich, or a stark spotlight, it can wildly dance, or softly edge darkness and cast shadows. Light can reflect and sparkle or be blinding and disarming. Natural light vs. man-made light sources: sunrises and sunsets, moonlight and neon light!

Photographs are steeped in emotive qualities that go well beyond the work’s subject and content, an almost indecipherable layer is em-parted through the usage of light.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA:
Photography

DEADLINE:
February 5, 2014

NOTIFICATION:
February 14, 2014

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 for $24 US for on-line & $29 by email

PO-TAY-TOH
pa-tah-to

What do you want for dinner? I hate saying AND hearing this phrase because it is immediately followed by the shuffling of feet and avoidance of eye contact in the attempt to draw out the silence until my husband breaks the silence and makes the decision. It isn’t that I don’t want to think about it; clearly I think about food ALOT. However, I find it difficult to translate the abstract notion of what I want for dinner into the concrete dish that would be. Getting from idea that I want comfort food to identifying that as potato soup with freshly grated Romano is, well, complicated. I wonder if abstract painters have this same dilemma. If YOUR work is abstract, check out this next Call…
