CALL for ENTRIES: BookART

Posted on July 7, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

BOOKS
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…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Fort Worth Community Arts Center (FWCAC from Fort Worth, TX) for BookArt. A national call for original artist made books in any form or media. You’ve go to give it to them for accepting any form or media in what is usually a very traditional media. Try on book-making in YOUR media of choice…

CALL for ENTRIES: Memory

Posted on May 14, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

POPCORN
and peanuts

I eat popcorn almost everyday. My most recent obsession is dousing it with loads of chili powder, but for a long time, it was Parmesan cheese. Popcorn is a memory trigger food for me; my Dad ate it every night with garlic salt with a side of Coke with peanuts (or Tab). It’s a Southern thing. What are your memory triggers? This next Call wants to know…

CALL for ENTRIES: Picture Book Show

Posted on April 8, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

WRAP UP
a cold one

My husband usually picks out his own beer. He’s a home brewer and more than a little picky about his commercially made beer. But, on occasion, I pick up a “Pick 6” pack from the grocery store. My rule of thumb is to pick 3 beers I’ve actually seen him consume, and the other 3 I pick out based on the design of the label. No joke. Works EVERY time. If you understand beer labels, then you might also know why it is no surprise when people judge a book by its cover. This next Call is just for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from the 3×3 Magazine for the Picture Book Show. I love this show. There are phenomenal designers and illustrators who never get their due. Maybe this is the chance…

SPINACH!
I want spinach

I want to plant salad greens TODAY, but my husband keeps reminding me that the snow is probably not over for the season and that it got down to 29 degrees last night. I love planting salad greens because they are so temporary. They are seeds one day and less than 6 weeks later they are on my dinner table. I can replant, or I can plant something else. This next show deals with the temporal nature of art and heroes. I love this show…

Check out this Call for Entries from the John Michael Kohler Arts Center (Sheboygan, WI) for Heroes Surround Us. There is no entry fee! I love the temporal nature of this exhibit; I love the portraiture aspect. I hope this is an exhibit for you. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Virtual Delights

Posted on February 18, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

SOMETHING NEW?
not blue

There is a downside to being a long-time foodie. As the years have gone by, I don’t have as many first delights. Because the range of food I have tried (both good and bad) is so huge. I do not get the excitement and pure delight of discovering a truly unique flavor very often. The last one I can really remember is uni (sea urchin). This next Call features a new flavor of Virtual Delight. Be among the first few artists…

HOME GROWN

I believe in buying locally grown food. I’d like to say my motivating factor is green; however, truth-be-told, it just tastes better. Something that travels 50 miles to my table is just going to be fresher than something that travels 500 or even 5000 miles to my table. This next Call is local FOR ME, but it is a great opportunity for some of you as well…

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: 4AV

Posted on October 15, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

HOLD THE PLASTIC
please

I suspect you already know I’ve got a little touch of the obsessive compulsive. But some days, it really rears its head. My family is trying to be greener, generally speaking, and I find it actually can be cheaper to live this way if you are careful. My newest pet peeve is people who buy one item in the produce section and feel the overwhelming need to put it in a plastic bag. You’re going to wash it and/or peel it anyway right? Why does your single lemon / lime / onion / avocado need a bag? Who designed this system. I digress. This next Call really wants the BEST in design. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Submissions from 4AV for silkscreen designs for a line of women’s graphic tees. If your design wins, you walk away with some cash as well as reproduction rights after the first printing. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Illumination of Imagination

Posted on October 13, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

TEA FOR ONE
coffee for none

My husband is a tea drinker, and it is my fault. So, I don’t like the smell of brewed coffee. (I hear the nasty emails being pecked out on keyboards across the world.) I haven’t drank a cup of coffee in 18+ years. I think brewed coffee smells like skunk spray. No joke. So for a long time, my husband used a French press because the odor was lessened. But then the plunger on the press broke, and neither of us ordered a new one. Now, he drinks Earl Grey every morning. I feel a little bad. (Not really.) Hobbits like tea, or so we are led to believe. You figure out how that is connected to this next Call by investigating for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries from Six Summit Gallery (Ivoryton, CT) for Illumination of Imagination! The entry fee can be as low as $10. This could be a great opportunity for you to sell art AND the juror is very well documented. Take a look…

HAILING
a cab

I would hurt someone for a pepper-crusted cut of ahi right now. Understand, ahi is not a common food in my house. I’m too cheap, and Gatlinburg isn’t really known for more exotic varieties of fish. But some days you wake up and you just want what you want. You know what would be even better? A big glass of Cabernet Sauvignon to go with the ahi tuna. Okay, the Cab I can pull off pretty easily. This next Call gives you a perfect reason to sample a little Cabernet Sauvignon as well. Take a look…

LAZY NIGHTS

I had salmon “en papillote” tonight. Fear not, it just means “in parchment”. Contrary to what you might think, it is not the French-cool-factor that leads me down the path of parchment cooking. (Okay, maybe a little.) The real reason is because it is healthy since it requires so little fat. Okay, that’s a lie too. The truth? There is virtually no cleanup. No dirty saute pans. Yep, laziness has lead to French cooking. Go figure. This next Call is all about the paper too. Take a look…
