CALL for APPLICANTS: Just Shift

such sweet NECTAR

Pancakes are an uncommon treat at our house. Even the best of store bought syrup shouldn’t be kept as long as the periods between pancake occurrences at our breakfast table. So, my husband now makes our pancake syrup. Someone suggested he substitute agave nectar for the sugar in the recipe. Wow. It isn’t a 1:1 substitution. Agave nectar is much sweeter than honey or refined sugar. I can’t handle it. We’ll stick to the water, sugar, molasses & vanilla standard, thanks. This next Call is just sweet enough to intrigue. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Applicants from Just Shift for an Artist Residency at The Edge. One of 3 residencies can be completed virtually. If you meet the requirements, be sure to apply even if you don’t want to travel to California. Great opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Works on Paper

Posted on April 13, 2016May 15, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

LEFTOVERS rock

We intentionally create leftovers by overcooking dinner so that we have a few easy options for lunch on hand. But, left over veggies that didn’t get fully used in salads or stir frys become the best fillings for spring rolls. We’re a little addicted. Have I mentioned that rice paper is my newest obsession? As much as I appreciate their function, I’ll admit that how little room they take up in the pantry and the fact that they seemingly never expire may very well make them the perfect bread replacement. Yum. This next call wants your paper, but it doesn’t have to be rice paper…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Retrieval

Posted on April 8, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

the STOMACH knows

Beautiful food is enticing. Culinary schools offer classes that teach presentation for a reason. But ugly food has its place. I had lunch with a friend yesterday; she insisted I pick the restaurant. I chose Indian food only to discover she had never eaten Indian food. I felt the need to warn her that the food was delicious, but ugly. Maybe ugly is a little too strong. It looks a bit like mud on rice, but the stomach doesn’t care what food looks like.. This next call isn’t muddy, it wants to see all that is beautiful. Take a look…

KERNEL

Popcorn is now complicated. I used to enjoy it from the theatre or from the microwave. But in the continuing effort to eat real food, my husband now insists on popping it from the kernel on top of the stove. We ran out two days ago, and after briefly considering experimenting with the .gif suggesting you can pop it on the cob in your microwave (don’t do this, btw), we opted for a bag of microwaveable popcorn left from a recent hotel stay. Just no. Because Styrofoam, no. The next Call is Popped, sort of, & they don’t want Styrofoam either. Deadline is NOW…

This Call is personal for me. I have been hungry, physically & creatively; have you? The show is short and simple. I have extended the deadline in an effort to include more work from more artists.

CORN

I have such reservations about corn but none about corn pudding. We had it for dinner tonight. I always think of corn as hailing from Iowa. (I am clearly like a marketing sponge.) But as I spent hours on the back roads of Ohio last year trying to avoid the nightmare that is I-75 South, I drove through miles and miles and miles of corn fields, intersected only by the occasional two-lane or gravel road. Dazzling. Beautiful. Waving both “hello” & “goodbye”. A landscape of corn. In Ohio. This next Call wants your landscape or seascape, or even your corn. Take a look…

need a
CLEAN PLATE?

I am not a fan of buffet restaurants. Even when I get past the being herded like school children through a cafeteria line, I have trouble with all inclusive nature. How can one hold everything at a single temp & humidity and expect everything to thrive? Some foods are fragile. Celery & carrots require higher humidity. Dairy needs a lower temp than washed greens. In exchange for larger variety, we end up with mediocre versions of fresh food that would have better maintained their individuality in a kitchen. This next call is a hand-picked selection of the highest quality, not a buffet. Interested? Me too.

Check out this Call for Entries from 3×3 Magazine for the Int’l Illustration Show. Quality art publication that is both curated but open to illustration is a rare combination. These fees are among the lowest in the industry. Take a look…
