CALL for ENTRIES: Underground

Posted on April 27, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

TWO EGGS
over medium

So, I eat a lot of Waffle House food. My husband & I are regionally-touring musicians. As a result, we often need food at 2am, and Waffle House is the ever-available option–here’s one of a million Waffle House selfies we’ve taken. (I think they should sponsor us, but no replies yet, ha.) We don’t tour in the Atlanta area currently, so one Waffle House has remained elusive–Underground Atlanta. We’ll make it Underground eventually. In the meantime, here’s YOUR chance to go underground, minus the fried eggs. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art Below (London, UK) for the Summer Show in London’s Underground. It is free to apply but does cost to participate (if chosen). This could be a great opportunity for some of you…

CALL for ENTRIES: Turquoise

Posted on March 17, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

don’t be
BLUE

There aren’t really any naturally-occurring blue foods–of which I am aware. But maybe that is why I’m not a fan of color blue, with the exceptions of navy (almost purple) & turquoise (high green only). Blue foods scream, “Plastic” every time I see them–from icing on cakes to the blue tongues of toddlers eating shaved ice. I know; my food quirks never end. This next Call is just the perfect shade away from blue. Take a look…

my italian
HERO

What would we do without the iconic dishes that make up the safety net? You know the ones…everyone likes some version of it. They tend to be my “go to” meals on nights when I have to plan in advance. Since I don’t know what anyone will be in the mood for, I hit the highlights. Tonight is spaghetti night. No matter who is coming, I can cover vegetarian, vegan & gluten-free if need be. This Call is all about iconic art categories. Please investigate this one. If you work in 2-D, there is probably a way to make this work for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art of Brands (a new AAAD sponsor) for Iconic Images. There is no entry fee, and this could be a great way to earn money from your art. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: So many of you have talked to me about selling your work w/o being bogged down running a gallery or about art fairs or gallery representation. I know you often leave the conversation not feeling like nothing is accessible. I like THIS opportunity. If you work in 2-D, don’t dismiss this Call. Some of you might consider simply doing what you already do but direct some content to suit this purpose. It won’t be for everyone, but I think it is a valid option for a lot of you.

BREAKFAST

Gender rolls are “squishy” at my house. My husband does most of the cooking. I am the disciplinarian. Even our mail comes bizarrely addressed since I didn’t take his last name. It works for us.

If this isn’t the Call for you, please pass it along…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Sketchbook Project

Posted on December 9, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

HERRING
pickled, not red

My pantry is a library of food fads and favorites. You’ll find canned tomatoes from my mother (necessary to all of my favorite dishes) and high-fat coconut milk (necessary to all quiet indulgences). Then there is the the fruit cocktail, quince marmalade, pickled herring, kimchi, a jar of black lime & a few dried apricots left over from some food obsession or experiment that either went awry or with which I got bored. I can’t bring myself to get rid of the non-expired food no matter how random because they occasionally inspire genius. This next Call displays the beauty of collecting and sometimes inspires genius. This is a beautiful idea…

MENU

Frequently, the most memorable kitchen creations are happy accidents. As much as I love a list, theme and a plan, sometimes I find myself in a situation that forces me to create a masterpiece from what I have on hand or try something new on the spur of the moment. My favorite chicken-cheddar-broccoli soup came about as a necessary use of what I could find in the frig. Now it is a winter menu staple in our house. This next Call is a show that is both un-juried & un-curated, but I KNOW this organization. It will definitely be a show not to be missed, and you can be a part of it. Please investigate this one…

SPRINKLES

Hello, my name is Rachel, and I am an emotional eater. I own it most days. I have learned to indulge the tendency with care. Potato chips and dip are fine after an occasional day of stress as long as it isn’t a daily ritual. Also, I’ve learned to be more discerning about the potato chips and dip I chose, of course. I find that my celebration eating is far worse than my stress eating though. I am wishing lots of celebration cupcakes for the five of my readers (fingers crossed) that make the cut for this next Call. Take a look…

My current kitchen kryptonite is the potato. I love them. I love them. I love them. They do not love me. They spike my blood sugar–which is fun, I’ll admit. But the eventual crash off the sugar results in my desire to stuff my face and take a 3-day long nap. I never realized how many I ate until I started trying to reduce my sugar intake. Wish me luck. This next Call will let you expose your own kryptonite, or not. Take a look…
