CALL for ENTRIES: not BIG

Posted on October 18, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

SNEAKY SNACKS

I become periodically addicted to snack foods. Recently I’ve been fixated on Hot Buffalo Wing Pretzel Pieces from Snyder’s; however, an upcoming trip to a warm climate in the dead of winter means dragging out my bathing suit in December. Ugh. So, I am trying to break the addiction by trying out new snack foods. This week…whole grain fig newtons. Wow, that’s a punch of flavor in a tiny package. My logic is that the stronger flavor will result in less consumption. We’ll see. This next Call wants to see what can of wallop you can bring in a small package. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for not Big from the M S Rezny Studio / Gallery in Lexington, Kentucky. Enter any media for only $20, and small size means smaller shipping price. Hurray!

Posted on October 15, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CALL for ENTRIES: Masters Mystery

Posted on October 7, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

R U NUTS?
I don’t eat pine.

I enjoy the occasional Murder Mystery Dinner show, but I never want the mystery to be WHAT I am eating. I have fairly adventurous taste in food, but I still want the courtesy of knowing what I am putting in my mouth. For some reason, more than one chef has said to me, “I made it special for you, just try it.” 99% of the time they are right; however, for the occasional 1%, I have this to say to the chef, “If you had just TOLD me there were pine nuts in the wild boar dish, I could have spared you the public “ick” face when I tried it.” So there. This next Call is not really a Mystery for YOU, despite the name. Investigate for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 2011 Masters Mystery Art Show from Florida International University (Miami, FL). This is an all-hung exhibit that won’t cost you an entry fee, but WILL cost you the donation of a 6×9 work on paper. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you are reading the post CALL for ENTRIES: Masters Mystery anywhere other than by email subscription or on https://www.artandartdeadlines.com/, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Masters Mystery

The Masters’ Mystery Art Show (MMAS) is an international annual art event featuring over 1000 artworks by more than 500 artists from 31 countries around the globe. It includes nationally and internationally recognized artists, many brilliant emerging artists, as well as a number of celebrities from other fields. The MMAS was developed to benefit Florida International University’s Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts Program. This event coincides with Art Basel and takes place at the Ritz-Carlton, Miami Beach.

The list of contributing artists, including a host of well-established names, will be widely publicized in advance. Adding to the excitement will be the participation of renowned celebrities in different disciplines and selected local students will compliment the roster. The “mystery” is that the name of the artist for each work is kept secret during the exhibition, only to be revealed at the completion of the sale. Thus the public is invited to “play detective” as they try to identify the artist – and be the first to buy the best!

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists.

MEDIA: All exhibited works will be originals in a 6” x 9” format and will sell for the fixed price of $50.

DEADLINE: Submitted artwork must be received by November 15th, 2011.

NOTIFICATION: None. This is an all-hung exhibit.

ENTRY FEE: None.

SALES: All exhibited works will sell for the fixed price of $50. By submitting your work, you are making a DONATION of your work for sale. You won’t make any cash, but you’ll get another line on your resume, and you may end up with a new collector of your work.

YES, please,
BEAT ME AGAIN

Sometimes it take me multiple tries to learn a lesson. For example, I am not a good baker. It has taken many failed attempts at breads, muffins and biscuits for me to come to grips with this unfortunate reality. And lately, the same is true with art.

Spaghetti and Meatballs maybe the first home-cooked dinner meal that I remember. I remember not properly securing the leaf-supports on the table and having spaghetti rain down upon my father’s lap.

Posted on September 2, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

SERVED
with LOVE

Sometimes there’s no food better than a home-cooked meal. When our son is out of town visiting grandparents, Jon and I frequently eat out or eat fast meals with little regard for formality or the dining room table. But, inevitably, the best meal is always the first one back at home at the dining room table… even if it ends up just being chicken and rice, again. This next Call is the art equivalent of a home-cooked meal because it is almost in my back yard. Support local arts…

ANTIPASTI

I might just love NOT cooking more than cooking. Truth be known, it is the EATING that I love, not the cooking. My sweet husband’s birthday was this week, and a shining example of why I love him… Instead of requesting an elaborately cooked meal that would take hours to prepare, he requested olives, goat cheese, stuffed peppers and Guiness.

SAY AHHHHHH!

I believe that you are what you eat. I have personally witnessed a change in my own health based on the food choices I have made. But sometimes there is a large divide between saying it and doing it.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Original Show

Posted on August 4, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BAHK BAHK

Farm fresh eggs make me happy the same way daisies make others smile. The only thing close to farm fresh is a Grade AA (found in upscale restaurants and better grocery stores). Most of us eat Grade A eggs from the grocery store with flatish, lemony-yellow yolks, but a fresh egg typically has a bright golden yolk that stands tall when cracked. Years ago, when my husband owned a hot dog shop called the Dog & Cow, he used to trade left over hot dogs (used as chicken feed) for fresh eggs. The eggs had the wonderful aroma of garlic from gourmet hot dogs. We KNEW what we were eating, ha. The gallery in this Call also makes me happy with it’s sort of blatant in-your-face optimism and simplicity. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Flow Art Space (Minneapolis, MN) for The Original Show. This is a fairly new space full of optimism and good will for artists. Maybe this is a show for you…

MAKING me SING!

I seem to have Italian and Greek food on the brain these days. I usually write the food reference paragraph of these posts to see what the Call conjures in my mind and stomach. And, for some reason, it is Italian and Greek these days. Maybe it is the Suzukakia (Greek Meatballs) I had at Athens Restaurant in Nashville this past weekend. So, I got to meatballs because I ran across this Open Call for an opera house. Doesn’t opera make you instantly think meatballs? Maybe it is just me…
