How much do you love road food? No. I don’t like it either. We’re on the road for four days over the holiday weekend, and I am arming myself with a car-load of snacks to combat the power of suggestion of every digital billboard that suggests I check my “fry guage”. Has a nugget of any sort every made your trip better? Has a peeling truck stop billboard every really followed through on making your ride more pleasant with week-old doughnuts and day-old franks? Damn the billboards. Or not. Let’s channel the power of suggestion for art like with this next call. Take a look…

MUNCHIES

I kicked cable TV to the curb. Because we travel for work, no one really watches specific shows very often. So, we have a Hulu account & Chromecast PLUS there’s a Redbox® just down the mountain. The result? Now we watch more movies and consume more popcorn. Isn’t that the law? A movie must be accompanied by popcorn, right? This next Call could be an excellent way to put my new movie-watching obsession to good use. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Small Plates

Posted on June 30, 2015April 4, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

i want some
MORE

Remember having “eyes bigger than your stomach”? That was the automatic response to an overly large-portioned plate at my childhood dinner table. It was then immediately followed by a lecture reminding me of children thought to be starving in a far away country that seemed, well, other worldly to a five year old. The truth would have been more effective. There were starving children in my own country, my own state, my own town, probably my own neighborhood. I was fortunate not to want for food as a child. But today, my eyes are always bigger than my stomach. I always take on more than I can easily digest, gastronomically and otherwise, and yet I always find myself both hungry to pile on more–even while suffering the indigestion of my last turn at the proverbial table. This next Call is proof. In 2016, we are proud to be offering a buffet for all of you. Take us up on this, the first of several dinner invitations to come…

Check out this Call for Entries from ArtAndArtDeadlines.com (AAAD) for Small Plates: A Response to Hunger, a small works show, exhibited in The Balcony gallery (Knoxville, TN) located at The Emporium Center. Grow with us…

Small Plates

“The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Here at AAAD, we believed that the food metaphor is a perfect vehicle to inspire you to feed your creative self. We shun the demeaning cutesy-ness of the bohemian “starving artist” image as it numbs us to the real struggle of hunger & starvation worldwide. Starvation, in a literal way, robs humanity of being human and ends even the possibility of a creative self. For SMALL PLATES, AAAD wants your views on hunger —physical, spiritual, political, emotional and/or creative. Food references are optional.

The SMALL PLATES will be exhibit will both open & close on May 6, 2016 as a part of the First Friday festivities at The Balcony Gallery, located in The Emporium Center in Knoxville, TN –a one-day show.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists —any age, any gender, any location.

THEME: Hunger—physical, spiritual, political, emotional or creative. Food reference optional.

MEDIA: Open to all media that will fit in a 9”x12” envelope (aka 229 mm x 305 mm or No. 10 ½), including but not limited to: painting, drawing, fiber, collage, digital, photography, graphic design, illustration, pen and ink, printmaking, etc.

DEADLINE: April 18, 2016

NOTIFICATION: Ongoing by April 19, 2016

ENTRY FEE: $5 for up to 5. Entry fee waived for members in good standing of The Haggus Society.

CURATOR: R.L. Gibson (yours truly), a working artist, also serves as the editor of artandartdeadlines.com (AAAD). Trained in classical, French culinary techniques, Gibson created AAAD as a food-themed resource to motivate artists to create their own community, standards & artistic opportunities. In addition to producing her own solo & collaborative art, Gibson has served as a gallerist, juror, teacher & arts administrator for nearly two decades.

AWARDS: To assist resume building, designations of Best of Show, 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place will be awarded; however, cash prizes will NOT be awarded. Award designations will be chosen from the physical work and will be judged based on artistic merit and interpretation of the theme. If not chosen for the gallery exhibit, please note that at the curator’s discretion, ONE image from EVERY artist will go into the online exhibit* with a link to the artist’s website. *Editor’s note: So if you follow all the rules, you can at the very least add the online exhibit to your resume, even if you are not selected for the physical exhibit.

SALES: All work will be considered for sale unless marked NFS. A commission of 30% will be taken on all sales. Please note, 20% commission on cash/check sales and 25% commission on credit card sales is held by Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville. The additional 5-10% commission is retained by AAAD. Unsold artwork will be returned and payment for sold artwork will be made within 30 days of the close of the exhibit.

CALL for ENTRIES: Earth

Posted on June 8, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

CUKES
for cubs?

In our continuing efforts to downsize in preparation for “tiny living”, I downsized myself out of garden space. We moved back to our previous 2-acre, mountain-top abode, but anything other than container gardening is impossible with out a major terracing project to provide flat space on the side of the mountain. So, we’re going to attempt to grow a few squash & cucumbers on the deck using the railings as support. But, considering the fact that my dog has tree’d several black bears during the past two-weeks. Am I simply creating a buffet dinner on my porch? Nature. Hmm. This next Call wants to know your perspective. Take a look…

CHEESE

As I get older, my tastes skew toward whole foods with a higher fat content–nuts, cheese, olives. Yum. My dog is newly enamored with cheddar cheese and almonds too.

TWO EGGS

So, I eat a lot of Waffle House food. My husband & I are regionally-touring musicians. As a result, we often need food at 2am, and Waffle House is the ever-available option–here’s one of a million Waffle House selfies we’ve taken. (I think they should sponsor us, but no replies yet, ha.) We don’t tour in the Atlanta area currently, so one Waffle House has remained elusive–Underground Atlanta. We’ll make it Underground eventually. In the meantime, here’s YOUR chance to go underground, minus the fried eggs. Take a look…
