COFFEE anyone?

Are you a borrower or a buyer?  Of books, I mean?  If you haven’t been to your local library recently, be sure to stop by. Many libraries are re-inventing themselves to look much like big box book stores complete with vendors of coffee & pastries.  They often also lend music, movies and even art.  This next Call comes from a library with a full-fledged art gallery adjacent.  This is for 3-d work only…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Friends of the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library (Topeka, KS) for Topeka Competition 33 at the Alice C. Sabatini Gallery (located within a public library).  Despite its location, this is a fairly traditional gallery space & the juror’s work is masterful.  Take a look…

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Certain Places exhibit from L.A. Photo Curator!so SWEET

Sugar is sugar, right?  I don’t think so.  Fried sugar takes me to morning doughnuts in the office.  Melting powdered sugar transports me to Saturday afternoon elephant ears at the flea market.  And spun sugar, spun sugar sends me straight to the state fair standing in line on hard-packed earth waiting for my turn on the Alpine racer.  Each smell is distinct, truly, and each conjures a certain place I hold dear to my heart.  Where is your certain place?  This next Call wants to know.  Explore the possibilities…

CALL for ENTRIES: CQ No. 49

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

either / OR

Food substitutions have become second nature to me.  I live with & cook for lots of people with food sensitivities, health concerns & philosophical/ethical food issues.  I have to be able to accommodate those folks without advance warning and without blowing my food budget.  Black beans make great gluten-free brownies; bananas work as egg replacement in many desserts & breads.  Lemon zest can be a fantastic salt alternative, & nutritional yeast is a great stand-in for Parmesan.  It isn’t about faking an ingredient; it is about creatively coming up with an alternative texture or taste.  This next Call is all about the creative.  I like this opportunity.  Is this one for you?

It won’t come as a surprise to many of you, but I have more than a few foodie friends.  They sort of cover the full range of foodie-ism too –from sous chefs to chili cookoff champions & even those that love to eat but can burn water.  A recent scandal broke out amongst my chili chefs about how many of the local & regional cookoffs have become “popularity contests” with prize money going to the team that could conjure enough of their friends to attend & vote.  Seriously?  Are we cheating chili challenges now?  This next Call has an esteemed artist doing the choosing.  Can you make the cut?  Investigate this opportunity.
