We don’t have leftovers at our house. Any additional food that isn’t scarfed up by my ravenous 13-year-old or my string-bean skinny husband ends up being eaten as a lunch within a couple of days or as an additional ingredient in dinner that week. I’m not sure why people object to leftovers so much. Maybe it is a marketing problem. We should take a nod from the British and start giving dishes made from leftovers great names like Bubble and Squeak. This next Call is your chance to have a showing in London. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Cork Street Open Exhibition held at the Gallery at Cork Street in London. Enter almost any media online for as little as £20 (~$30 USD) for your shot at this London show! Don’t miss out…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Cork Street
Open Exhibition

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All media except reproductions, film & video

DEADLINE: June 2, 2013

NOTIFICATION: June 21, 2013

ENTRY FEE: £20 for one (approx. $30.68 USD), £30 for up to 3, and £50 for up to 6 entries.

JUROR: The panel of judges is headed each year by Louis Singh, director of Beaux Arts Gallery London. In addition, four experts from the contemporary art world are also invited to participate, bringing the total on the panel to five. Members have included established artists, gallery owners, art critics and writers, art dealers, art enthusiasts and celebrities who may or may not be publicly recognized as accomplished artists.

Updates to the jury list are found here.

Louis Singh says, “St Ives in the 1970s was a somewhat lazier place than today. Late morning deals were customarily made with cigarette in one hand and glass of sherry in the other. Back then my father had the Wills Lane gallery which ensured my mind was constantly flooded with images of the St Ives School as soon as my eyes had opened.

“When I was ten my parents opened the Beaux Arts gallery in Bath which continued to nurture these Cornish roots. These days with a sister gallery in London, minus the sherry, not much has changed. I busy myself by keeping the gallery from growing old by steering some youth and raw contemporary talent, towards its doors.”

AWARDS: Grand Prize Award £1,000 Cash Prize & £1,000 worth of Materials and Services.

SALES: All works must be for sale at the exhibition, prices set by the artist, and Cork Street Open Exhibition will retain 40% of the selling price.

Apparently I speak food-ese. In the South, we speak in metaphors and euphemisms so often that I forget that not everyone gets it. While working on a real estate deal recently, my agent said, “Do you need to consult someone before we sign the contract?” My response was, “Nope, I’m the top banana. It’s a peach of a house, and if some prune doesn’t like it…Well, that’s just how the cookie crumbles.” She replied, “Did you miss lunch?” Hehehe. True story, I promise. This next Call is all about the Reality & Metaphor of it all. Take a look…

I am addicted to No Pudge Fudge brownie mix. I’ve mentioned it before, I know. They are the best brownies I’ve ever eaten (from a mix), and they are all natural. It is the shortest ingredient list ever. I’ve tried the original, raspberry and cappuccino, but I still haven’t tried the mint because I have to order them and have them shipped to me. Food by mail isn’t usually my thing, but I may give in eventually. However, in this next Call, no shipping is a HUGE advantage in my book. Check it out…

CALL for ENTRIES: Sense of Place 2013

CALIFORNIA
dreaming?

I was out of town this week, and traveling makes eating out necessary. But, I was trying to behave so I’ll fit back into my Spring clothes again soon. At one restaurant, I ordered a California Chicken Salad which included mixed greens, mandarin oranges, dried cranberries, blue cheese, candied pecans, croutons, grilled chicken and balsamic vinaigrette. Mine was sans the blue cheese & pecans, but I am still wondering what made it Californian. The oranges? I still don’t know. Check out this next Call with a name that references place, but it isn’t really the theme. Interesting…

NO JELLY
with my satay, please

Food has interrelation–be it natural or forced. In the US, peanut butter is only naturally related to grape jelly, but it is fantastic with raspberry jam. PB&J has a distinct meaning apart from its separate components. My immediate connection with peanut butter is peanut sauce, but my connection to PB&J is childhood comfort. Odd, eh? This next show is about the interrelation of work, one deriving meaning from the other. I like this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Northbrook Public Library (Northbrook, IL) for their annual juried show, called Social Media Artshow this year. The entry fee is reasonable. There is NO COMMISSION taken by the show promoters, and this year’s theme is an interesting twist from the norm! Don’t miss this one…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Social Media Artshow 2013

Art is the original social media: it reaches out and draws together, trying to make connections. It incites discussion and draws meaning through relationships. We are looking for works that are either created in a series or multiple elements (like diptychs) that generate meaning through their interrelation, or works that react to existing famous artworks. The mathematics are simple: one is quotidian and two is exponential.

ELIGIBILITY: The show is open to artists 18 years and older.

MEDIA: 2 and 3 dimensional art executed within 3 years of entry date and not previously been displayed in the library.

DEADLINE: May 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: July 31, 2013

ENTRY FEE: Entry fee is $35. Checks payable to the Northbrook Public Library. A maximum of 3 entries per artist fee will be judged.

JURY PROCESS: Artists should be cognizant that the exhibition is open to the general public & artwork must be viewable for all ages. Pieces will be judged on artistic quality & execution as well as thematic relevance. Artists should consider the theme, Social Media.

SALES & COMMISSION: The NPL does NOT charge a commission for show participation. All sales inquires will be referred to the artists. Contact information, provided by the artist, will be listed in the online and printed show catalog to facilitate sales. The only sale to be handled by the NPL will be the purchase of the first-place award winner.

AWARDS: One (1) $2000 purchase prize, one (1) second place cash award of $1000, one (1) third place cash award of $500, and two (2) Viewer’s Choice cash awards of $200.

I seem to have lost the ability to properly cook chicken. I’m still spot on with fish, but chicken and beef are a lost art for me.

I want to plant salad greens TODAY, but my husband keeps reminding me that the snow is probably not over for the season and that it got down to 29 degrees last night.
