CALL for ENTRIES: 52nd BAL Nat’l

Posted on February 12, 2014February 12, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

a mixed bag of
GROCERIES

I loosely plan a weekly menu each week by making sure there are at least seven proteins, seven green vegetables and a handful of starches available in the kitchen. From those offerings, I try to make every week different. But, since the proteins are almost always a couple of versions of same pork, beef, chicken and/or fish, making 52 different menus a year is a stretch. And, I might add that there are only so many ways to prepare zucchini & broccoli. But this next Call is the 52nd time this Call has been offered, and I promise the result has been different each and every time. Maybe this is THE opportunity for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Beaumont Art League (Beaumont, TX) for the 2014 BAL National juried exhibition. This the 52nd consecutive year for this exhibit. This is their premier yearly exhibit. Take a look…

JUROR: Born in New York and educated at the acclaimed Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Vera Barnett moved to Texas in 1985. She began using pool toys as still life subjects, but felt a desire for more emotional and personal subjects. Her solution was to create her own models from sewn plastic. Barnett’s process yields paintings injected with emotions that are authentically human, yet fabricated through completely synthetic materials.

AWARDS: Cash awards totaling over $3,000 will be given out for 1st through 3rd places and purchase awards! Awards will be announced at the opening reception on May 3, 2014.

CHEESE
off the old block

Cheese food is not cheese. You’re allowed to like American cheese; feel free. But, don’t take comfort in the idea that you are eating a natural cheese. It is manufactured from milk, whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, saturated oils; emulsifiers, salt & artificial coloring–and that’s assuming you aren’t consuming a diet variety. Think of it this way…if the cheese can’t stand alone, then maybe it shouldn’t have the spotlight in any of your meals. This next Call is looking for a big cheese (or six) to put in the spotlight. Are you a big cheese?

Check out this Call for Entries from Penn State Altoona (Altoona, PA) for the Ivyside Juried Art Competition for solo shows at the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts. The entry fee is only $10 for up to 24 images. This is a great academic opportunity at a really low price!

CALL for ENTRIES: Kingdom

Posted on February 8, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

wild FOOD

I live less than a mile from one of the boundaries of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I also live only a mile from downtown; however, my town has a tiny population of around 3500 residents. My location has a profound impact on the food I eat. The availability of exotic foods is relatively limited unless you count game meats which are prevalent even in upscale restaurants. I keep a clean grill because predators are a REAL, not imagined, threat. I don’t hike or cook in the woods alone because black bears do eat people occasionally. Where I live defines what I eat and my relationship with the “wild kingdom.” This next Call wants to know all about YOUR relationship with animals. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Manifest Gallery (Cincinnati, OH) for Kingdom, an international exhibition exploring the animal in art. You can enter for as little at $12. Don’t miss this opportunity…

Posted on February 3, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

for the love of
FRESH SPINACH

My local farmers’ market does not open until the beginning of MAY. The fact that I am craving fresh, local produce already does not bode well for me. Once I start craving fresh produce, my ability to put up with frozen produce lessens so I end up with an even narrower range of veggies to eat. Sustainable farming is a true art with a connection to the Earth, and this next Call is looking for YOUR art that is connected to the Earth. This one might just be for you…

BERRY BLUE?

How can I love blueberries IN things, but not care for blueberries on their own? My husband makes fantastic blueberry-maple-bacon corn muffins, and I could eat my weight in them. But, I always avoid the blueberries in my fruit cup. Weirdness. This next Call is open to weirdness–as long as it is blue. Take a look…

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…

I would put my soup making skills up against anyone’s. Period. You keep your biscuit making, and I’ll continue to create freaky variations on potato, french onion and cream of asparagus soup.

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…

TO GROW

I am slightly obsessed with the hunt for the perfect piece of land. My husband & I are determined that 2014 will be the year we finally build a house, but we can talk about that adventure later. Right now, I have to find the land. I need land that will both allow for a solar-efficient, south-facing house, but I also need a large enough plot to accommodate our offices, a studio, and a garden, of course–and cheap. I know. The land really MEANS something to me just like the landscape needs to MEAN something in this next Call. Keep reading…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Hera Gallery (Wakefield, RI) for Landscape at the Edge.
