THAI

Cookbook authors have my number. Make the food look fantastic on the cover, and I’ll buy it. Yes, I judge books (some books) by their covers. I recent bought quick & easy thai. I’m just going to say that my judgement of the cover resulted in sticky rice with mangoes. It was worth it. This next Call encourages you to judge books by their covers as well. Sometimes is just WORKS…

BREAKFAST

Gender rolls are “squishy” at my house. My husband does most of the cooking. I am the disciplinarian. Even our mail comes bizarrely addressed since I didn’t take his last name. It works for us. It is what we know. And, well, the food is good. 🙂 I use #imarriedforthefood a lot. This next Call explores gender identity & the experience of being trans. If this isn’t the Call for you, please pass it along…

CALL for ENTRIES: Embracing our Differences

Posted on October 15, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

sweet or
SOUR?

There’s a battle brewing in my house. We live within 15 miles of two apple orchards. We only have room for a 5lb. bag of apples each week. This time of year, Crispins (green/golden apples) get my vote, while my husband seems single-mindedly obsessed with Braeburns (red apples). I don’t care what color they are, but red apples tend to be sweeter. We’ve finally taken to trading off weeks. On my weeks, I get to eat my slightly sour raw green apples; on his weeks, we make apple tarts, pies & crisps out of the red variety. I’m trying to embrace our differences–like the them of this next Call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Lines into Shapes

Posted on July 15, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

DOUGH not

The hot-fresh-now doughnut purveyor is very popular during tourist season in the Smokies. Summertime often means a car line for the drive thru stretches for a 1/4 mile down the Parkway. I don’t understand. I’ll stand in line, or sit in line, for a lot of foods, but why doughnuts? Donuts with a K are everywhere aren’t they? What makes them so special while you’re on vacation? It baffles me. This next Call does NOT baffle me, and the name is all about the lines. Check out the gallery and/or online show choice. Interesting option…

CALL for ENTRIES: Dark

Posted on July 11, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

the
DARKER
the better

I usually like to get food as close to the source or source process as possible. But, I cannot bring myself to love Mexican chocolate. Most of the world uses a conche for varying lengths of time to incorporate cocoa butter within chocolate. The longer the processing, the smoother the chocolate. But Mexican chocolate is still often stone-ground which produces a gritty texture. I am addicted to dark chocolate, but I want it smoooooth. This next Call offers the opportunity for you to be dark and either smooth or gritty. To each their own…

Check out of this Call for Entries from the Arc Studios & Gallery (San Francisco, CA) for Dark. Everyone needs to explore their dark side. Here’s your chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstraction

Posted on July 8, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

ROMAINE
parm & garlic

I’ll take the Abstracted Caesar–hold the deconstruction. I love it when culinary lingo takes a weird side trek. Apparently the minute difference is that deconstructed food is technically a dish with ALL of its components separated. Meanwhile, abstracted food features only the main components separated out. Hilarious. In the meantime, this next Call wants your Abstract work, not deconstructive work. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Santa Cruz Art League (CA) for Degrees of Abstraction. We love this arts organization, and the juror has a well-documented personal style that runs contrary to the exhibition’s theme. Interesting…

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

CALL for ENTRIES:
Abstraction

Moving beyond verisimilitude abstraction frees the artist from the object. This opens the door for a vast variety of visual interpretations which indeed makes abstract art the most challenging. The artist’s facility with the materials & focus on surface makes abstraction particularly interesting today. But w/o personal content, symbolism or “event”, it risks becoming conceptually mundane & void of meaning.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to US artists

MEDIA: Printmaking, drawing, painting, bookmaking, collage, photography & 3D

DEADLINE: August 31, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $45 Non-member up to 3 / $35 SCAL Members ($20 fee/box for shipped work)

JUROR: Tobin Keller is an artist and educator who works and teaches in Northern California. His artwork is very much influenced by the community & natural beauty which surrounds him. Tobin received his Bachelor of Media Arts from Emily Carr University in Vancouver, British Columbia and holds a MFA in Illustration from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. He currently instructs courses at Mendocino College in Ukiah & works as a freelance illustrator & muralist.

AWARDS: The Juror will grant $1,000 in Awards

SALES: 45% commission to Santa Cruz Art League or 30% commission (for SCAL Members).

I prefer thought-out, composed meals with true intention. But, let’s face it…that doesn’t always happen. Today, my lunch included two olive & cream cheese stuffed pieces of celery, a deviled egg, a pickled beet, two slices of fresh tomato and two pickles. The only thing composed was the beautiful square plate. Truly, it was a collage of anything I could find that didn’t have to be cooked. This next Call wants your collage, AND they want it square. Whatcha think about that?

CALL for ENTRIES: Spring Feature

COCOA
powder puff

I have always preferred chocolate in my stomach, not necessarily on my face–unless it got there on its way to my stomach. But as my journey toward a simpler life continues. I am fascinated by the foodstuffs that can be used for non-culinary purposes. I’ve used coconut oil on my hair and avocado on my skin for a long time. But did you know that you can use cocoa as a colorant in a food-based face powder. I’d put on weight if I had to breathe in the smell of cocoa all day. But, it will still make me look at what I wear on my face differently. Hopefully this next Call will make you look at faces a little differently too…
