CALL for ENTRIES: Trans*

Posted on February 4, 2015February 4, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

BREAKFAST
in bed

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…

Check out this Call for Entries from Waterloo Arts (Cleveland, OH) for Transgender Art Exhibit. I realize this applies to only a small percentage of AAAD readers; however, I am hoping you will post, re-post & tweet this Call so it can be found by artists that would best benefit. Thank you…

CALL for ENTRIES: Flowers, Plants & Gardens

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

sweet or
SOUR?

I dream of lemons & olives–and corn, of course. While dreaming of my future garden, I am excited at the prospect of growing non-GMO corn. But, I also have fantasies of the produce I love most like lemons and olives, neither of which is native to my climate. Is it just enormous hubris on my part to believe that if I try to grow them in a walipini that they will automatically surpass the quality of the native-grown varieties that I buy after their long trip to my local grocery store? What is it about humans that makes us want to manipulate plants? This next Call wants to see how you successfully manipulate plants in your art. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net (online) for Flowers, Plants & Gardens. The entry fee is as little as $15, and the prize packages are fantastic. Don’t miss the opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Indie Grits

Posted on November 25, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

simple
STAPLE

I have grits for breakfast 3+ days per week. I have a favorite brand of organic, non-GMO grits that never cease to inspire. On a busy morning, it is scrambled eggs over the top of cheese grits. The next morning, the refrigerated left over grits are cut into cakes that are sauteed and used as the base for Eggs Benedict. This morning it was Charleston-style milk grits with a poached egg & chorizo. There is no end to the independent spirit of this simple staple. This next Call is an inspiration of grits proportions as well. Take a look…

MENU

Frequently, the most memorable kitchen creations are happy accidents. As much as I love a list, theme and a plan, sometimes I find myself in a situation that forces me to create a masterpiece from what I have on hand or try something new on the spur of the moment. My favorite chicken-cheddar-broccoli soup came about as a necessary use of what I could find in the frig. Now it is a winter menu staple in our house. This next Call is a show that is both un-juried & un-curated, but I KNOW this organization. It will definitely be a show not to be missed, and you can be a part of it. Please investigate this one…

SPRINKLES

Hello, my name is Rachel, and I am an emotional eater. I own it most days. I have learned to indulge the tendency with care. Potato chips and dip are fine after an occasional day of stress as long as it isn’t a daily ritual. Also, I’ve learned to be more discerning about the potato chips and dip I chose, of course. I find that my celebration eating is far worse than my stress eating though. I am wishing lots of celebration cupcakes for the five of my readers (fingers crossed) that make the cut for this next Call. Take a look…

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: Water

WATER
from above or below?

So we are still trying to figure out the logistics of building our own farm. We’re excited. We are hoping to move early 2017. We are working on alternative methods for everything: building, fencing, furniture, electric & sewer. Then there’s the issue of water. I can’t WATER goats and chickens and lamb or US without the water portion of the equation. And while a stream is lovely, there are laws about permanently diverting water that merely goes through your property. So my options are well water or cistern water. Both have to be pumped and filtered for different reasons. Decisions, decisions, decisions. This next Call recognizes water as the essence of life. I’m thirsty…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Water

ELIGIBILITY: All artists age 18+

MEDIA: Open to any painting, drawing, mixed media, photography or digital medium.

THEME: Work should connect the viewer with the essences of life: water. The work can reflect on the simplicity of a single drop to the power of a raging ocean. It is the most powerful force on earth. It can humble us in the wake of a storm, provide us with endless energy. It is necessary for our survival. It can be the most destructive force on earth, and its beauty cannot be denied. All life on earth is connected by the need for water. Artists throughout history have captured it in all of its forms: drops, rain, storms, streams, lakes, rivers and oceans.

“I have always believed in establishing the sky tone, in general, as soon as possible. In sea painting the rest depends upon it because of the element of reflection.” — Frederick Waugh

How is it that quiche became girly food? I was at a cafe recently that specializes in quiche. The waitress was reciting the day’s specials to a neighboring table of guests when the man interrupted her to say, “I’m not interested in quiche; I’m a MAN.” Really? It is eggs, cream and cheese. I thought, “Maybe it is due to the pie form.” But, men eat pie, right? I don’t understand his reasoning, but I restrained myself from asking for the sake of the man sitting at my table. Maybe this next Call is looking for the quiche-goodness in women only. Maybe. Investigate…
