CALL for ENTRIES: 3×3 Children’s Show

Posted on April 11, 2012April 11, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

PERSONAL ZOO

One of my very favorite foods as a kid was animal crackers. I liked to line them up in pairs and then bite off their heads and legs before eating the bodies. A little gruesome, and I’m not certain what that says about me. But I do crack my goldfish crackers in half before I eat them even now. Do food interpreters (like dream interpreters) exist? Clearly I need one. My prescription? Buy a box of animal crackers for inspiration for this next call…

CALL for ENTRIES: London Olympic Exhibit

Posted on March 20, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ROSEMARY
or OREGANO
or MINT?

I believe that recognizing ingredients in a gourmet dish should be an Olympic sport. Try it at home sometime. Have someone prepare something simple, and then try to figure it out based on taste only (pull the blindfold out of storage). It is harder than you might think. Telling one herb or seasoning from the next is complicated if YOU didn’t put it in the dish. This next Call is for an exhibit that will bear witness to many an Olympic sporting event in London this year. Take a look…

I love exotic foods, and they love to eat my budget. Luckily, exotic foods like the dragon fruit are rare in my neck of the woods. But, if you get a chance to try one, don’t pass it up.

Posted on February 8, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

NO FLAVOR,
please

I am ever so slightly addicted to bananas. I like them so green that they are almost crunchy. I don’t LOVE their taste, but if I don’t have one for three or four days, I really miss them. Weird, I know. Something I am not addicted to? Artificial banana flavoring. Ugh. Save the fake, plastic-y flavor for a fake monkey. Okay, that was too easy. This next call has no entry fee…and even a monkey. No joking…

FAIR to FIG
…and FOWL

If you can say nothing else for my taste in food, it is fair and open to all. I will try almost any culinary invention once. And most of them (even the bad ones) I will give a second and/or third chance. But if you haven’t won me over after three attempts, I’m likely done. I give art, artists and their little-known media the same respect. This next call offers consideration for “any” media. I wonder if they REALLY mean that. Let me know…

Why does beer come in six packs? My house is dotted with six packs. It isn’t like THAT. I am NOT a beer drinker, but my husband IS a beer brewer.

CALL for ENTRIES: Masters Mystery

Posted on October 7, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

R U NUTS?
I don’t eat pine.

I enjoy the occasional Murder Mystery Dinner show, but I never want the mystery to be WHAT I am eating. I have fairly adventurous taste in food, but I still want the courtesy of knowing what I am putting in my mouth. For some reason, more than one chef has said to me, “I made it special for you, just try it.” 99% of the time they are right; however, for the occasional 1%, I have this to say to the chef, “If you had just TOLD me there were pine nuts in the wild boar dish, I could have spared you the public “ick” face when I tried it.” So there. This next Call is not really a Mystery for YOU, despite the name. Investigate for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 2011 Masters Mystery Art Show from Florida International University (Miami, FL). This is an all-hung exhibit that won’t cost you an entry fee, but WILL cost you the donation of a 6×9 work on paper. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Masters Mystery

The Masters’ Mystery Art Show (MMAS) is an international annual art event featuring over 1000 artworks by more than 500 artists from 31 countries around the globe. It includes nationally and internationally recognized artists, many brilliant emerging artists, as well as a number of celebrities from other fields. The MMAS was developed to benefit Florida International University’s Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts Program. This event coincides with Art Basel and takes place at the Ritz-Carlton, Miami Beach.

The list of contributing artists, including a host of well-established names, will be widely publicized in advance. Adding to the excitement will be the participation of renowned celebrities in different disciplines and selected local students will compliment the roster. The “mystery” is that the name of the artist for each work is kept secret during the exhibition, only to be revealed at the completion of the sale. Thus the public is invited to “play detective” as they try to identify the artist – and be the first to buy the best!

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists.

MEDIA: All exhibited works will be originals in a 6” x 9” format and will sell for the fixed price of $50.

DEADLINE: Submitted artwork must be received by November 15th, 2011.

NOTIFICATION: None. This is an all-hung exhibit.

ENTRY FEE: None.

SALES: All exhibited works will sell for the fixed price of $50. By submitting your work, you are making a DONATION of your work for sale. You won’t make any cash, but you’ll get another line on your resume, and you may end up with a new collector of your work.
