CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Artist Grant

Posted on November 16, 2015November 16, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

cold & cheap
ROOTS

I am grateful for the apples, but I am missing fresh local veggies already. My local orchard serves as my farmers market most weeks. With their cold storage program, I can get local apples for most of the year, but the veggies they offer are limited as of November. Aside from winter squash, the only thing LOCALLY fresh I’ll have until spring are potatoes, onions and maybe a hot house bell pepper or two. My normal $25 farmers market budget will be too much for a change. This Call is a great use for the extra $. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Submissions from WorkingArtist.org for the $1000 Artist Grant/Art Purchase Award. $25 entry & send a link. It doesn’t get any easier. Don’t miss this one…

CALL for ENTRIES: Animals 2

Posted on November 14, 2015November 12, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

eat my
FUNGI

I’m afraid of eating wild mushrooms. Correction, I am afraid of improperly identifying a mushroom as edible and doing unexpected harm to my family. So, I have been trying to decide whether or not to grow them myself. Growing mushrooms at home always conjures images of damp, basement-like conditions. But research indicates I can crow them on logs in dappled shade, above ground, among the living, with fewer creepy-crawlies. This next Call want to know your views, wild OR domestic, but no veggies–just animals. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Out of Bounds

seat belt
VINAIGRETTE

I eat in my car A LOT. This has always been true. Once upon a time, those meals consisted of a generous amount of fast food of the drive thru variety. However, as my tolerance for processed food has waned but my travel for the job has increased, I find that packing food for the road has become more and more common. Eating a decent meal is no longer an out of bounds activity for the car. I do pull over to eat, but my seat belt has the permanent aroma of Italian dressing. This next Call wants to know what YOU consider out of bounds. This is a great opportunity and a beautiful space…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Fine Line Creative Arts Center (St. Charles, IL) for Out of Bounds at the Kavanagh Gallery. The theme is broadly interpreted. Take a look…

WILD

Have you ever eaten a persimmon? I am headed out for a road-trip soon, and I am super excited about eating persimmon pudding in Indiana. Persimmons are typically cultivated in the southeastern U.S. but grow WILD throughout much of Indiana. I think their love of this weird little fruit has resulted in some of the best uses, including the notorious pudding. Give a persimmon a try. Make sure it is ripe though; trust me. This next Call IS ripe and from Indiana. (I know. Bad. Sorry.) This is a great call…

soul FOOD

I love an amuse-bouche as much as the next foodie. I love tapas & small plate menus too. But, I don’t understand the tiny food trends I am seeing. The videos of tiny food being made on tiny appliances? I am clearly missing something. I cannot find a point to the concept of tiny food except for the cute factor. Where food is concerned, more is almost inevitably better in my house. But there is a time & place for everything. This next Call is the perfect way to dive into tiny works. Now to learn how to bind my work…

seasonal
FRUIT

My experience with pre-packaged instant food is sketchy at best. You might find a box of instant oatmeal in my cabinet for lazy winter mornings. But I find that some foods that are unnaturally dehydrated to the extreme never really recover, like cheese & coffee, while others thrive, like cocoa and popcorn. I think of instant foods a little differently –preferring portable raw nuts, fruits, and even a few cheeses, best. This time of year though, pomegranates are my favorite. Just cut them in half, thump them with on spoon on the outside, and voilà –instant snackage. This next Call wants your instant favorites. Take a look…

ENTRY FEE: $30 up to 5, $6 ea add’l

JUROR: Michael Kirchoff straddles the worlds of both commercial and fine art photography.

Sweet potato casserole, and I’m done. Turkey has never been a part of my family’s holiday traditions. In fact we are so obsessed with sweet potato casserole with a pecan pie top, we really just eat the rest of the meal as an excuse to consume ridiculous amounts of casserole. It serves as a side dish & dessert then late-night snack. We until it is gone. It takes the four of us about 2 days. I feel the need to put on stretchy pants just thinking about it. This next Call is a fun turkey project. Take a look…

BLACK TRUFFLE

What happens when food imitates visual art? At Art Basel Hong Kong in 2015, that question was answered by 10 stellar chefs. The image to the left is L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon combination of French sea bass, seasonal black truffle, celery mousse line & Malabar pepper sauce to recreate Zao Wou-ki’s dark abstract work. This dish, and at least 9 others in this vein, were available at restaurants in the Hong Kong area back in March. I can’t know how tasty it was, but, my oh my, how beautiful. This next Call wants your surreal work, but not the culinary version.
