for success

Everyone I know makes at least one dish that makes people ask, “How do you make that?”  Mine has changed over the years from hollandaise sauce to creamed spinach to 40 spice hummus.  Similarly, everyone who is in arts management or administration hears the same question, “How do I get a solo/group show in a gallery?”  This next Call answers that question.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for 2014 Exhibitions from Flow Art Space (Minneapolis, MN).  Great news…NO COMMISSION, no really.  This is a rare opportunity in a fairly young gallery. Investigate for yourself…

for breakfast

We are all taught from an early age not to judge a book by its cover.  However, nearly every cookbook in my collection got there because of an appetizing photograph on the cover.  A friend that photographs food for a living told me that the looks are often achieved through under cooking, over cooking, shellac, resin and paint.  What a shame that such beautiful food never gets eaten.  But that knowledge does make me feel better about the ugly stuff I serve fairly regularly.  This next Call wants to see your books and challenges artists of ALL media to enter.  Take a look…

not onions

I would, on occasion, gladly work for food, but did you know that the Egyptians that built the pyramids were often paid with beer, bread and onions.  I don’t think so; not this girl.  As I have previously mention, I’m not a beer kinda girl, and as much as I love bread, a girl cannot live by bread and onions alone.  This next Call’s fee cannot be paid in bread and onions, but it is Pyramid inspired.  Investigate…

fiasco

I recently reclaimed my kitchen.  Lately, the time I spend outside of my home office, art and music studios is greatly reduced, and now I handle almost ALL of the cooking again.  I’m loving it, but I have become SO territorial.  My husband can make popcorn, and it looks like someone has been killing zombies.  And why, pray tell, if the dishwasher is empty can the dirty dishes not go there instead of on the counter?  Deep breaths; I digress.  This next Call is all about Mayhem; Send them your best…

maters and pumpkins

YOU
GLAD?

While in Phoenix recently, I discovered that our hosts were lucky to have an orange tree in their back yard.  Every morning I went out back to the sweet smell of orange blossoms and the overwhelmingly loud buzzing of bees.  I am inspired by the smell and sound.  I wonder if I can get an orange tree to grow in my Smoky Mountain yard?  This next Call is from California — where they have no problem getting orange trees to grow either.
