CALL for ENTRIES: Art on Paper

nuts for NUTS

I make a lot of granola these days. I tripped across this mostly Paleo recipe & altered it to taste. (We don’t eat Paleo, specifically, but I am often drawn to the recipes.) This version is absent the oats found in most granola, so it lacks the chalky, starchy lethargic quality of the stereotypical bagged cereal. My version is mostly nuts & seeds with a bit of dried fruit, coconut oil & a dash of honey. There seems to always be a batch in the oven, and I’m going through roll after roll of parchment paper. It is brain food; try it. This next Call is looking for works on paper. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Site: Brooklyn (Brooklyn, NY) for Art on Paper. $35 entry fee & 50% commission. This could be a good opportunity for some contemporary artists. Is this one right for you?

CALL for ENTRIES: Red 2018

Posted on October 30, 2018October 18, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

flushed FRUIT

Red is my favorite color. On an unrelated note, I’ve never eaten a red food I didn’t love. Hmmm. I find it hard to resist even the red-adjacent –raspberries, rambutan & now lychee. Lychee is like the perfect cross of soft floral rose & tart white grapes. Yum. The next Call wants to see your “red” inspiration. What’s not to love about red?

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net for Red 2018. $25 entry & no shipping. The theme is open to broad interpretation, and one artist now receives a $500 grant. Take a look…

ELIGIBILITY: All artists age 18+ (int’l)

MEDIA: Open to still media, including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, digital art, printmaking, fiber art, collage, etc.

THEME: Red “Colors often symbolize a variety of emotions, an artist’s truth, perhaps wild fantasies—from war, power, heat, love, sexuality, anger, and joy to ‘soft’ idealisms—these are but a few examples. Red, in particular here, can be used to draw the viewer closer emotionally in a way which enhances their reaction to the art. It may define intuitively an intended focal point that carries the viewer more deeply into the artist’s message.” –art-competition.net

Posted on October 23, 2018October 18, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

bear-ly HUNGRY

I live in black bear country, and hyperphagia is coming to an end soon. Hyperphagia is the time of year when the bears gorge themselves in preparation for their winter “hibernation”, although black bears don’t really hibernate, per see. (I digress.) This means a few months on not being paranoid about leaving sunflower seeds in my car or a stray pizza box in the outdoor trash can. Some people have raccoons, I have bears, ha. This next Call is all about animal life. Whatcha got?

COLD complication

As winter approaches, I am more & more distracted. I buy a handful of pantry items for single recipes. For example, I use canned cream-style corn in one indulgent corn pudding recipe and buttermilk only in cornbread. But, the problem arises because they look like similar items in the cupboard –anything canned or my regular milk. You only have to put buttermilk on one bowl of cereal to not want to make that mistake again. My solution? Organization. A simple letter or two scrawled on the container top has stopped me from wasting time and food over and over again. This next Call wants to see your work for their Winter Edition. Be organized; enter early…

boxy BITES

Making pasta used to be a joy. I enjoyed hand-cutting linguine and stuffing beautiful little half-moon ravioli. But, my husband’s Celiac’s diagnosis put a crimp in my ravioli revelry. Luckily GF flour has come a long way. I am making pie crusts and little stuffed ravioli to my hearts content again. I have dispensed with the round & half-moon shapes, along with my biscuit cutter, but I find the square has its own appeal. This next Call appreciates the square form as well. Take a look…

BITE me

The darker my mood, the darker the chocolate needs to be.

I’m going to have to make art instead, clearly. This next Call wants your darkest art. Send them your best…

the PLATE truth

Where are the beautifully plated foods? I have been home from my residency for 3 days, and I miss my housemates, my studio, the time to focus solely on creation, and honestly, I miss the sauce swirls and flower garnishes on every meal. So bratty, I know. Even the goulash was stunning. Fear not, I’ll publish the Call for that residency another day. In the meantime, here’s a Call for your best still life work. Investigate…

MEDIA: Open to work in any medium including digital and experimental mediums

THEME: STILL LIFE “can be a very personal view of an artist’s daily life. . . . The magic of still life imagery is that they [sic] can show us a new way of looking at the ordinary objects around us. Once they are placed into a specific arrangement and then captured in paint, ink, pastel, photography or any other medium – the objects take on a whole new meaning. They are imbued with a life beyond the ordinary. Their existence becomes recorded in time. The objects chosen for a still life painting often have a special meaning, either on a personal, cultural, societal, religious or philosophical level. The themes surrounding the artwork often provoke introspection and reflection in the viewer. The way that the objects are depicted can evoke a wide variety of emotions“. –art-competition.net

BREAKFAST eggspert

I miss breakfast. I have been complaining about being sick of eggs for 10 years, but I’d give anything for an egg sandwich right now. My residency provides the basics so that we can make our own breakfast –eggs, bread, butter, yogurt, granola. But, you know what happens when a chef prepares every lunch & dinner you eat? In my case, I’ve become too lazy to make my own breakfast outside a bowl of granola. *sigh* This next Call if for your impressions of the light of day… not necessarily what you eat a dawn, ha.

JELLY much?

Why do we always want what we cannot have? Deprivation drives some people mad. I am not being deprived; I’m just stubborn. It is a control issue. The food at my residency is phenomenal cuisine offered in a beautiful setting. I have eaten every manner of velouté, terrine & and savory foam imaginable, but I am currently craving a PB&J and banana pudding, separately of course. Ridiculous. This next Call is for a residency that does not provide meals, so you are welcome to eat all the junk food you can stand, ha. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: It’s Political – 2018

Posted on September 8, 2018September 9, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

what TO EAT, or what NOT TO EAT

Famous words, “No politics, let’s eat.” FOOD IS POLITICAL. In the United States, for example, our Department of Agriculture suggests that half our diet be composed of fruits & vegetable (great); however, more than 60% of agricultural subsidies go to corn & other grains which are primarily consumed by the commercial meat & poultry industries. Do you know how much of those subsidy funds go to growers of fruits & vegetables? Less than 1%. Food is political. This next Call wants to know what YOU have to say about today’s political climate, food politics optional, of course. Take a look…
