CALL for ENTRIES: Emotion & Energy of Color 4

Posted on December 8, 2016December 8, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

a clean PLATE

I had to throw out everything in my fridge & freezer Sunday. Due to the wildfire, my house was without power for a week. My groceries stewed. It wasn’t pretty. But, in my effort to find a silver lining, I will admit that a clean refrigerator is liberating. Now it is slowing filling with mustard greens, pickled beets & craft beer against a stark white background. It is a whole new energy like this new Call. An art publication opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: 11th National

totally BAKED

I crave comfort food. I have always been an emotional eater, and in my defense, this year HAS sucked. Bizarre business twists, unexpected career delays, personal financial crisis followed by health issues, a relentless year of election propaganda and now a wildfire, a house robbery & now more dreams delayed. I want baked goods. Is there a healthier way to tackle trauma? Of course. Bite me. I need the comfort of things familiar like baked goods — and the venue for this next Call. It is a soft spot for me, and I want it to be for you. Love…

CALL for PROPOSALS: Curatorial 2019

Posted on November 28, 2016November 28, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

NUTTY bravery

Sometimes you just have to jump in and try. Wary of a new food? Hold your nose and stick out your tongue–it just takes a few seconds of bravery. This is how I learned that I hate pistachios and love goat cheese. By trying them. This Call will be the same idea for many of you. Fifteen dollars, five images and a clear vision of your project in written form. That’s all it takes. Maybe it is time to take the leap from local shows to national shows, from national to international shows, from juried to self-curated. You can do it. I know you can. If you need help, message me. Believe in you; I do…

the gilded PALATE

Breakfast & dessert challenge my craving for variety. I have resigned myself to daily morning eggs in every conceivable form, but I still delight in eggs for dessert. Custard. Eggs, sugar, vanilla, cream, yum. Crusted sugar atop a golden custard is heaven. A simple delight. This next Call offers gold as your inspiration. Take a look…

seaside FARE

I grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, one of the premiere food towns in the U.S. We were always proud of both the seafood & the fried chicken in the Holy City. And while Charleston-ians still have every reason to be proud of the fresh sea fare & deep-fried poultry, the food scene has developed as a shining example of the best of ALL things edible –French, Cajun, Greek & most other imaginable cuisines. The South isn’t just Southern, just like the jurors of this next Call. Investigate this one…

CALL for ENTRIES: Order & Chaos

Posted on November 1, 2016October 31, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

PAPER or plastic?

Do you prefer boxes or bags in your pantry? I like the structure of boxed pasta, beans & cereal, but I love the price of most things bagged. I prefer not to store things in plastic, but I’m not convinced the process used to create cardboard is any better. I own a lot of glass which inevitably involves breakage and the energy consumption involved in cleaning and/or sterilization. It can be difficult to distinguish the order from the chaos, but this Call offers us a second change. Give it a shot…

CALL for ENTRIES: Stories, Parables & Tall Tales

Posted on October 30, 2016October 30, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

DINNER anyone?

I’ve been eating with strangers lately. That is, I’ve had the privilege of eating family-style –from farm-to-table dinners with 20 at a table, or a restaurant with 8 at a table. It reminds me of stories my grandmother used to tell of Sunday dinners in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, when her family, that included 10 children, would just lay a sheet over the home-grown & prepared food on the dining room table after everyone ate, just in case friends or neighbors dropped by. They didn’t have much except a wealth of food to share. I love the planned inclusion of unplanned guests and the stories that must have inevitably followed. This next Call offers you an opportunity to tell your own story. Don’t miss the opportunity…

JUROR: Often dreamlike and enigmatic, Christine Brennan’s work features a host of symbolic and allegorical reference. Brennan’s images draw from the unconscious, leading the viewer into richly-lit narratives that evoke personal stories and associations. As a painter and printmaker, Brennan works in oil on paper or board and hand-colored linoleum block prints. Never setting out to illustrate a specific theme or story, the artist creates each image as she goes, changing and shaping it along the way.

with a CHERRY on top

Long-time readers have felt my pain at the lack of ethnic culinary options in my little hometown. But we HAVE recently added superb Thai & Indian food to list. There is ONE really inconveniently located German restaurant –which is like not having one. But, I still await Ethiopian food (never going to happen) & Hungarian food (craving hideg meggyleves, a chilled cherry, sour soup). Soup is not the only reason to consider this next residency Call.

CALL for ENTRIES: Winter 2016

Posted on October 4, 2016October 2, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

DINNER roulette

Grocery lists should be derived from menus, however, I lack the discipline to make a menu every week and the fortitude to endure a grocery trip long enough to sustain a week of daily menus. As a result, we buy random groceries and the menus are developed based on what we happen to have on hand at the moment. The advantage is that sometimes we trip across unbelievable recipes just by narrowing the ingredients by availability. This next Call chooses a theme AFTER receiving the submissions. How fun is THAT? You don’t have to fit a mold; the MOLD fits you…

CALL for ENTRIES: Figuratively Speaking

Posted on October 2, 2016October 2, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

LEMONgrass beneath my feet

Underground farming is a thing now. I’ve been looking for a “perfect property” for years now. Something small, affordable, naturally rich soil and easily irrigated. It is a huge wish list. But now, there are farmers that are choosing to go underground, create their own soil conditions, or use looped hydroponic irrigation — making double use of every square foot. It is kind of brilliant. This next Call comes from underground as well. ~~Investigate~~ Excavate…
