CALL for ENTRIES: Small Plates

Posted on June 30, 2015April 4, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

i want some
MORE

Remember having “eyes bigger than your stomach”? That was the automatic response to an overly large-portioned plate at my childhood dinner table. It was then immediately followed by a lecture reminding me of children thought to be starving in a far away country that seemed, well, other worldly to a five year old. The truth would have been more effective. There were starving children in my own country, my own state, my own town, probably my own neighborhood. I was fortunate not to want for food as a child. But today, my eyes are always bigger than my stomach. I always take on more than I can easily digest, gastronomically and otherwise, and yet I always find myself both hungry to pile on more–even while suffering the indigestion of my last turn at the proverbial table. This next Call is proof. In 2016, we are proud to be offering a buffet for all of you. Take us up on this, the first of several dinner invitations to come…

Check out this Call for Entries from ArtAndArtDeadlines.com (AAAD) for Small Plates: A Response to Hunger, a small works show, exhibited in The Balcony gallery (Knoxville, TN) located at The Emporium Center. Grow with us…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Small Plates

“The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Here at AAAD, we believed that the food metaphor is a perfect vehicle to inspire you to feed your creative self. We shun the demeaning cutesy-ness of the bohemian “starving artist” image as it numbs us to the real struggle of hunger & starvation worldwide. Starvation, in a literal way, robs humanity of being human and ends even the possibility of a creative self. For SMALL PLATES, AAAD wants your views on hunger —physical, spiritual, political, emotional and/or creative. Food references are optional.

The SMALL PLATES will be exhibit will both open & close on May 6, 2016 as a part of the First Friday festivities at The Balcony Gallery, located in The Emporium Center in Knoxville, TN –a one-day show.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists —any age, any gender, any location.

THEME: Hunger—physical, spiritual, political, emotional or creative. Food reference optional.

MEDIA: Open to all media that will fit in a 9”x12” envelope (aka 229 mm x 305 mm or No. 10 ½), including but not limited to: painting, drawing, fiber, collage, digital, photography, graphic design, illustration, pen and ink, printmaking, etc.

DEADLINE: April 18, 2016

NOTIFICATION: Ongoing by April 19, 2016

ENTRY FEE: $5 for up to 5. Entry fee waived for members in good standing of The Haggus Society.

CURATOR: R.L. Gibson (yours truly), a working artist, also serves as the editor of artandartdeadlines.com (AAAD). Trained in classical, French culinary techniques, Gibson created AAAD as a food-themed resource to motivate artists to create their own community, standards & artistic opportunities. In addition to producing her own solo & collaborative art, Gibson has served as a gallerist, juror, teacher & arts administrator for nearly two decades.

AWARDS: To assist resume building, designations of Best of Show, 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place will be awarded; however, cash prizes will NOT be awarded. Award designations will be chosen from the physical work and will be judged based on artistic merit and interpretation of the theme. If not chosen for the gallery exhibit, please note that at the curator’s discretion, ONE image from EVERY artist will go into the online exhibit* with a link to the artist’s website. *Editor’s note: So if you follow all the rules, you can at the very least add the online exhibit to your resume, even if you are not selected for the physical exhibit.

SALES: All work will be considered for sale unless marked NFS. A commission of 30% will be taken on all sales. Please note, 20% commission on cash/check sales and 25% commission on credit card sales is held by Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville. The additional 5-10% commission is retained by AAAD.

CALL for ENTRIES: Earth

CUKES
for cubs?

In our continuing efforts to downsize in preparation for “tiny living”, I downsized myself out of garden space. We moved back to our previous 2-acre, mountain-top abode, but anything other than container gardening is impossible with out a major terracing project to provide flat space on the side of the mountain. So, we’re going to attempt to grow a few squash & cucumbers on the deck using the railings as support. But, considering the fact that my dog has tree’d several black bears during the past two-weeks. Am I simply creating a buffet dinner on my porch? Nature. Hmm. This next Call wants to know your perspective. Take a look…

CHEESE
dog

As I get older, my tastes skew toward whole foods with a higher fat content–nuts, cheese, olives. Yum. My dog is newly enamored with cheddar cheese and almonds too. She recognizes the crackle of the almond bag from the other side of the house, ha. We try to maintain enough self-restraint to limit her people food to minimum, but it is hard to say “no” to that sweet face. This next Call wants your work depicting your pet family. AND, it helps pets find families…

HOT stuff

I am the poster child for a handful of food trends. In fact, I often hang on to them long after they go out of fashion. I am still annoyingly addicted to sriracha. It shows in up in nearly all my mayo, many sauces, and I’ll dip anything in it. You can be a poster child, or adult, for this next Call. Here’s a chance to freely speak your mind. Investigate…

a day in the SUN

Gardening is a fine balance of light & shadow. Bok choi will grow in as little as two hours of sun per day, but many varieties of beans love full sun. Tender, baby lettuces can be grown in the shadow of climbing plants like those sun-loving beans. It is all an art of balance. This next Call wants YOUR best light & shadow. Take a look…

LOBSTER
and peanuts

Most people associate Georgia with peaches, or maybe peanuts (thanks to Jimmy Carter), but I always think of barbeque ribs or creamy lobster bisque. Random, I know. I grew up in a suburb of Atlanta as a young girl, and barbeque ribs were a standard at least one night a week during the summer. Once a teenager, I made treks to Savannah with my mother to have table-side Caesar salad and lobster bisque from our favorite restaurant. I suppose every person’s food story is a unique work of non-fiction. This next Call is your non-fiction opportunity to tell your own solo story. Take a look…

LEEKS

It is ramp season again! I love many, many things about living in the Great Smoky Mountains, but ramps are a Spring favorite for my family.

I like to think I am pretty smart about food. But, regardless of what I know, I cannot kick the habit of eating emotionally.
