BOWL
me over

We eat soup three or more evenings per week in the Winter. I try to work out most mornings and then do a little dinner prep before I sit down to publish the day’s post. Today it is ham and vegetable soup. The secret to most of my soups is the thickener. Cornstarch will work, but I prefer pureed pinto beans. Great source of fiber and silky texture. This next Call is all about the fiber and texture, but not a bowl of soup in sight. Take a look…

HO, HO…
HOT

When the weather gets cold, I dream of chili peppers. Ridiculous? Maybe. You want hot cocoa, I want hot cocoa too…with a little chili pepper. We’re not that different. Oh, but how I long for a Tortas ahogadas (drowned sandwich) soaked in all of its chili pepper glory. Is it wrong to apply for an artist residency, like the one in this next Call, just to eat a sandwich–a really, really good sandwich? Luckily there are many great reason other than the Tortas ahogadas to apply. Take a look…

RECIPE
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…

I used to receive food in the mail. In the past, my out-of-state relatives would send me those meat and cheese boxes. You know the ones–processed cheese, Summer sausage, red and white checked box. But, I have convinced them to stop with the weird boxes of food and to start sending me personal hand-written recipes. I haven’t made all of the recipes, but I am more fascinated with them as art than food. This next Call could be your opportunity to mail food, of sorts. Or maybe NOT food…

Vacation has not been kind to my figure. Tomorrow is the last day of my summer vacation at Lake Lure (Dirty Dancing & Last of the Mohicans were filmed here), and I am already trying to figure out tomorrow’s food schedule and we’ve just finished with today’s brunch. What is it about being out of town that leads to over-indulgence and gluttony? Maybe I need another treat to figure it out. We’ll call it research, ha.

CHEESY
me

If I had to choose one food to represent me as a person, I would possibly die of indecision. But, since my food ramblings are only the fluff of why readers come to this site, and you don’t have enough time to wait…let’s will say just for argument’s sake that goat cheese would represent me perfectly. Soft but with an edge, getting a little more tart with age, not for everyone, but goes well with almost anything. Goat cheese is me. If goat cheese isn’t you, don’t worry. This next Call offers you a chance for a year-long representation. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from Melissa Wolf Fine Arts (online) for the Represent, and opportunity for a year of representation. This is a very new online venue; however, I had some personal success with their last call. So, at least take a look…

NO JELLY
with my satay, please

Food has interrelation–be it natural or forced. In the US, peanut butter is only naturally related to grape jelly, but it is fantastic with raspberry jam. PB&J has a distinct meaning apart from its separate components. My immediate connection with peanut butter is peanut sauce, but my connection to PB&J is childhood comfort. Odd, eh? This next show is about the interrelation of work, one deriving meaning from the other. I like this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Northbrook Public Library (Northbrook, IL) for their annual juried show, called Social Media Artshow this year. The entry fee is reasonable. There is NO COMMISSION taken by the show promoters, and this year’s theme is an interesting twist from the norm! Don’t miss this one…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Social Media, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Social Media Artshow 2013

Art is the original social media: it reaches out and draws together, trying to make connections. It incites discussion and draws meaning through relationships. We are looking for works that are either created in a series or multiple elements (like diptychs) that generate meaning through their interrelation, or works that react to existing famous artworks. The mathematics are simple: one is quotidian and two is exponential.

ELIGIBILITY: The show is open to artists 18 years and older.

MEDIA: 2 and 3 dimensional art executed within 3 years of entry date and not previously been displayed in the library.

DEADLINE: May 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: July 31, 2013

ENTRY FEE: Entry fee is $35. Checks payable to the Northbrook Public Library. A maximum of 3 entries per artist fee will be judged.

JURY PROCESS: Artists should be cognizant that the exhibition is open to the general public & artwork must be viewable for all ages. Pieces will be judged on artistic quality & execution as well as thematic relevance. Artists should consider the theme, Social Media.

SALES & COMMISSION: The NPL does NOT charge a commission for show participation. All sales inquires will be referred to the artists. Contact information, provided by the artist, will be listed in the online and printed show catalog to facilitate sales. The only sale to be handled by the NPL will be the purchase of the first-place award winner.

AWARDS: One (1) $2000 purchase prize, one (1) second place cash award of $1000, one (1) third place cash award of $500, and two (2) Viewer’s Choice cash awards of $200.
