San Francisco claims responsibility for inventing sourdough bread and fortune cookies, among a host of other foods. Being responsible for a food first is on my bucket list. I don’t know what I’ll invent, but I’ve got time. This next Call claims San Francisco as home. What will you invent for their first?

I’m that person that always has a drink in her hand. And, because I spend so much time on the road, I drink lots of water and more soft drinks that I care to admit. When I finally get home, I just want a tall, cold glass of unsweetened, decaf black tea. How odd that it would be a simple glass of tea that would remind me so much of home. This next Call wants your thoughts on ‘home’ –person, place, feeling. What’s home to you?

that’s a-PEEL-ing

What are the most used tools in your kitchen? Aside from knives, mine are the vegetable peeler, 2 sizes of whisks & measuring cups/spoons. In my head, I can’t imagine not having a food processor & an immersion blender, but I don’t really use them that much. The newest tech isn’t always the best tech for the job. This next Call is a reflection on a the evolution of tech through art. You’ll love this one…

“Ever since Pong took the world by storm, video games have been a rapidly growing and evolving art form. Earlier video games, limited by the technology of the time forced designers to think of new ways of rendering figures. However as the technology evolved so did the art form, with modern games limited only by the imagination of the developer. 8-Bit examines this evolution through the lens of visual art and how style, technology & art interact & influence one another, channeling inspiration from “retro” technology into art.” –from whitdelarts.com

CALL for ENTRIES: Time Will Tell

Posted on March 21, 2017March 20, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

years of WINE and art

I eat a lot of food, so do you, it is how we survive. I also see a lot of art; it is also how I survive, quit literally, since it is my occupation. I rarely know much about an artist personally before I see their work, and I am intrigued how many of the artists behind the work I love end up being in their 40s or 50s or older. It isn’t exclusively that, but it is far more common that would seem coincidental. Maybe art, like wine, cheese & beef, ages well. Show off your maturity with this next call. Take a look…

SLURP hiccup

I officially have cabin fever. I hate sand, so when I start fantasizing about island retreats and tropical drinks, you know winter has gone on too long. The low temp was 14°F at my house last night; my Seattle friends think I’m a wimp. They can think what they want. I will be sipping from an umbrella-topped glass, if only in my head. This next Call is my current co-conspirator. Escape with me…

one BOWL at a time

While giving a seminar on pricing artwork last week, someone asked me who AAAD’s readers are. “Foodie artists, I suppose” to which she replied, “I like to eat, does that count?”. Of course it does. I’ve had days, weeks & months that I have unintentionally boycotted cooking, recipes or any ingredient more complicated than cereal. Seriously, folks, just eat. Sometimes you can, sometimes you can’t –both art & food. If your art is ready, this next Call is a great next step…

PB & banana

Events have left me at home alone for lunch most days lately. I’m not good at eating alone. I’ll adjust eventually, but for now it is bananas & peanut butter or pasta with butter & parm. I don’t do food solo easily, but art is a much easier solo option. This next Call is a great outlet for solo work. Plus, it comes with a little bit of budget.

sweet or SALTY

I love anise in Indian food and my favorite Cajun rub but care little for licorice candy. I’m not sure why. Maybe it is that I appreciate the flavor in a salty context but not so much in sweets. It is said that the Dutch love licorice flavor so much that the average citizen consumes more than 4 pounds of the candy a year. Wow. This next Call offers you the opportunity to consume all things Dutch for up to to 3 months. Take a look…

I don’t have enough time on my hands for all the thyme I have on my hands. Thyme grows year ’round indoors, and my window sill herb pot has gone crazy. I have dried it. I have pureed it. I have infused oil. I have frozen it, and I have given it away. I can’t bring myself to throw it away. I’m hoping it will make a beautiful ground cover. My landscape will taste wonderful. This next Call wants to see your landscape. What’s yours taste like?

more than CORN

Appalachian cuisine is a “new” thing in food circles. But it isn’t. Everyone carries their own baggage about regional foods. When I was little, if you referred to mountain food, fried chicken would be hailed as the prime example. Then with the legalization of moonshine, everyone seems to think the local fare is all about corn whiskey and cornbread. It is all more complicated than that, I promise. What if food, in concert with art and culture are THE answer for Appalachian economic recovery? This next Call offers an art opportunity in Appalachia. This is a beautiful venue…
