CALL for ENTRIES: Stories, Parables & Tall Tales

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Stories, Parables & Tall Tales exhibit from Studio Channel Islands!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…

Check out this Call for Entries from Studio Channel Islands (Camarillo, CA) for Stories, Parables & Tall Tales.  Great theme for this California show.  Take a look…

NOTIFICATION:  November 21, 2016

ENTRY FEE:  $45 for up to 3,  $35 for members (with code)

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.

AWARDS:  1st Place $500, 2nd Place $200 & 3rd Place $100

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.  Take a look…

The landscape of my kitchen counter is changing. My day is incomplete without fresh fruit. While the happy dance of the clementines begins soon, it is otherwise just the banana bunny hop for most of the winter.  I find that most in-season winter produce is either not finger food (cranberries, pomegranates) and/or expensive (guava, kumquat, kiwi).  So clementines & bananas still life it will be.  This next Call invites you to create your own still life.  Orange you glad?

I spent 10 years of my childhood as a resident of the state of Georgia in the United States. Many of my neighbors ran cottage food businesses.  In the State of Georgia, you can apply for a commercial license to produce a limited variety of foods in your home kitchen for sale to the public — like breads, candy, jams, jellies, nuts & more.  This “maker culture” shaped my entrepreneurial spirit as a child. Kudos Georgia.  This next Call also hails from Georgia and should inspire the maker in you.  Take a look…

My first encounter with a peppercorn was in olive loaf. My father deluded himself into the notion that a seven year old was the target audience for this studded meat product.  I survived.  I love olives, and fresh peppercorns make my stock & dressings sing.

My kitchen is awash with hot peppers.  A trip to our UT Farmers Market resulted in a bounty of experimental varietals of habenero & Scotch bonnet peppers.  I moved them from a paper bag to the dehydrator trays, and three hand washes later, my hands were still on fire.  The maker in me couldn’t let go of the idea that I need to preserve them for use over the winter.  The maker in me tries to find a use for every extra.  How does your maker-thinker-feeler side affect your work?  This Call wants to know.  Take a look…
