BE BULGAR!

I love that more exotic foods are available in virtually any grocery store.  I live in a pretty small town, but because we have a large tourist population, the grocery store selections are a little better.  With Spring just around the corner, tabbouleh salad is calling my name.  Ten years ago, I would had to have gone in search of an ethnic or gourmet market and paid $10 for a bad boxed mix.  Now it is as simple as taking a trip to my local Food City.  Once again, my food world has intersected with my art world… this Call for Entries is a great example of new ideas in art accessibility.  No invitation to this opening is necessary.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Saint Spotting

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!

FREE, but ODD

The strangest thing I’ve ever eaten is Fugu, also known as Japanese pufferfish.  What was strange was that I ate it in the USVI at the hands of a Japanese Chef who sold me on eating it BECAUSE #1 it was FREE and #2 it could kill me if prepared improperly.  No meal is worth dying for, folks; ahhh, the stupidity of being eighteen.  Well, clearly, I didn’t die, and unfortunately, I don’t really remember the taste due to my adrenaline-fueled expectation that I could, at any moment, drop dead.  In hindsight, I don’t REALLY know what I ate. Hmmm.  This next call for art may be the strangest of its sort I’ve ever seen as well–at least for an Art Exhibit.  Take a look…

“WE’RE SEEKING a way to advertise a Saint with an unusual perspective, not necessarily religious, focusing primarily on the historical figure of this great woman, Mother Mary Joseph Rossello .”

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to a variety of creative people around the world (minimum age 16), the competition will be held in two editions, English and Italian.

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 before entering this next call.

Providing education and opportunity to learn about mail art, view new and established mail artists’ works, and to participate in the experience of creating and sending mail art.

WHY SUPPORT the PLP? “Rehabilitation was at one time a stated goal of the prison system. Today, funding for most educational and rehabilitation programs, including prison libraries, has been cut or completely eliminated. It is a distressing fact that today’s U.S. prisons are increasingly about punishing people and warehousing human beings, not about, rehabilitation, or education.”

“This is where PLP steps in. We believe that everyone deserves access to literature and educational materials, including people trying to work towards social change, self-empowerment or rehabilitation within the incarceration system.

Learn more about the 7th Annual Mail Art Show! The U.S. has less than 5 percent of the world’s population, but more than a quarter of the world’s prisoners.

 

Nearly one percent of American adults are incarcerated, the highest rate in the world, but many prisoners have little access to books or educational material. They face substantial barriers and are cut off from family and friends on the outside. While some prisons have libraries, many do not. Of those that do, access and selection can be extremely limited. Usually, prisoners are not allowed to receive books from friends or family. Thus, programs like ours are one of the few options available to these individuals.” –from the PLP website.

I typically only post once per day.  Any more smacks of double-dipping of your time and inbox space.  I get notified everytime someone unsubscribes from this blog, and I am sincerely sorry when I found out that an artist has decided that AAAD isn’t something they want or need or have time for.  So, I am self-conscious about double-dipping… except in ice cream, of course.

So why double-dip today?  Well, I am also self-conscious about straying too far from bringing you the art deadlines and opportunities that are the whole purpose of this blog.  Last Monday I posted a housekeeping blog, earlier this morning I posted the Artist of the Year blog, and tommorrow I unveil the first Featured Artist of 2011.  That is three non-deadline posts in 8 days.  I just have to break it up with a little opportunity!

Check out this Art Contest from tailcast.com, a print-on-demand greeting card site, that allows you to design and sell a Valentine’s day card online.  There is no entry fee, and you could win $300+ and 20% commission on card sales.  Take a look!

Can you make them
happen with a card?

 

This is the challenge for you at tailcast. This time tailcast want designs to give butterflies or goose bumps and make recipients chuckle, giggle and grin knowingly on Valentine’s day.
