CALL for ENTRIES: Urban

Posted on December 21, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

SU-SHI
or not to sushi

I used to think always equate urban settings with sushi; however, sushi can be found everywhere these days. I know of a town with a population of approximately 450, and even their local convenience store carries sushi. I may have to revert to the idea of street vendors or food trucks as urban food. Or maybe truly urban food is represented not by a specific type of food so much as a large variety of options. Hmmm. This next call wants to know how YOU define urban. Investigate this opportunity…

Check out this Call to Artists for Urban from the Linus Galleries (California). The exhibit offers an online listing as well as the possibility for a showing in one of their brick and mortar galleries. Take a look…

CRABBY
about winter

I am dreaming of a June picnic in the park. I want crab salad on a beautiful buttery croissant, a bright spinach salad and a large glass of lemonade. But that will have to wait. Any picnic in the park right now would involve mittens and down bubble coats. This next Call could be the perfect chance for my picnicking dreams. Take a look…

SUPER FOOD

I am always on the hunt for great snack foods. I crave a crunchy, salty snack to take with me on the go, but I try not to inhale garbage. Well, I tripped across a fantastic one this weekend. Baked Lentil Chips from Mediterranean Snacks. Don’t groan; I promise it doesn’t taste like tree bark. I had the Roasted Pepper, and I can’t wait to try the others. This might be a cool snack for you to take on your photo shoot for this next call. Happy Snacking!

BERRY
jealous

Did you know that the chokecherry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry and thimbleberry (pictured left) ALL grow wild in Minnesota? I could use some wild berries about now. My grocery store is getting to that point in the season that only citrus fruit has any taste and you’re best to stay clear of the seemingly gold-plated (based on the price), tasteless berries. This next Call hails from Minnesota, home of my current berry-envy. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Octagon Center

Posted on November 19, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

TOUCHDOWN!

To my knowledge, there are no octagon shaped foods–unless you count chocolates that come in an octagon shaped box. However, there are definitely seven-sided foods. Tourné potatoes were a rival to my sanity in cooking school. Two inches long with seven perfectly rounded sides. We weren’t allowed to blunt the ends. They had to be perfectly pointed little oblong taters–nearly football shaped. It still causes me physical pain to even think about them. But they were beautiful. Let’s stick with the octagon, though, like the one in this next Call. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Octagon Center for the Arts (Ames, IA) for the 45th Annual Clay, Fiber, Paper, Glass, Metal, Wood National Juried Exhibition. Don’t be fooled by the name, ANY MEDIA is considered. Don’t miss this opportunity…

People in
GINGERBREAD
HOUSES…

Last year, I mentioned gingerbread house kits and got one in the mail from a reader. The result, well, we won’t talk about it. But, when it comes to baking, I have to depend on kits, or leave it to my husband for the scratch-made goods. I’m not great at it. The recipe for this Christmas Cake (left) by Delia Smith used to be available in kit form. This will be my fruitcake substitute this year. The next Call wants you to be inspired by a kit of mystery materials. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Mystery Build 2013. This year’s theme is “Re-Invent a Work of Art”. What can be better than getting a mystery box of supplies by mail? Investigate this one…

You will specify what work of art you are re-inventing on the submission form. Any work of art can be used, in any medium from painting, to film, music, architecture, photography, sculpture, culinary arts etc. The entry should not be a replica of the work but a re-interpretation, continuation, or unique version of the original artwork.

Liquid adhesives not included in the Kit are also not permitted. Judges will have final ruling on use of liquids.

Entrants may use any tools available to them to alter the materials in the Mystery Build Kit, barring tools that add or leave behind an additional physical material, such as a stapler which leaves a metal staple, or a soldering operation which adds solder. You may make tools out of any materials you want. Tools may include molds, which also do not have to be made of materials from the Kit.

GREEK
to me

Greek yogurt is clearly the fashionable food of the year. We prefer Stonyfield Farm Organic. I love it, but I am really tired of the commercials. On my last grocery trip, I saw a new brand of hummus that said “Now with Greek Yogurt.” Really? Putting yogurt in hummus is like putting mayo in guacamole; just say no. This next Call is about all that is stylish and fashionable. Don’t miss this opportunity…

HOME GROWN

I believe in buying locally grown food. I’d like to say my motivating factor is green; however, truth-be-told, it just tastes better.

CALL for ENTRIES: Illumination of Imagination

Posted on October 13, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

TEA FOR ONE
coffee for none

My husband is a tea drinker, and it is my fault. So, I don’t like the smell of brewed coffee. (I hear the nasty emails being pecked out on keyboards across the world.) I haven’t drank a cup of coffee in 18+ years. I think brewed coffee smells like skunk spray. No joke. So for a long time, my husband used a French press because the odor was lessened. But then the plunger on the press broke, and neither of us ordered a new one. Now, he drinks Earl Grey every morning. I feel a little bad. (Not really.) Hobbits like tea, or so we are led to believe. You figure out how that is connected to this next Call by investigating for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries from Six Summit Gallery (Ivoryton, CT) for Illumination of Imagination! The entry fee can be as low as $10. This could be a great opportunity for you to sell art AND the juror is very well documented. Take a look…

OH MY DARLIN’

It is clementine season. Every year around this time, clementines start popping up in the grocery store, and every year I muse over the fact that they seem more like summer fruit than winter.
