CALL for ENTRIES: Sips, Shots & Gulps

GLASS

I rarely drink alcoholic beverages at home. I have a sort of daily ritual that starts with two carbonated drinks which are followed by unsweetened, decaffeinated, iced black and/or orange tea until bedtime. It never really occurs to me to deviate from that norm except when we are on stage or out for a special occasion. Maybe I would be more inspired if I had something creative out of which to drink, like the ones found in this next Call. It isn’t just about pottery either…

CALL for ENTRIES: Trans*

Posted on February 4, 2015February 4, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

BREAKFAST
in bed

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. It is what we know. And, well, the food is good. 🙂 I use #imarriedforthefood a lot. This next Call explores gender identity & the experience of being trans. If this isn’t the Call for you, please pass it along…

EGGS
not worms
for me

I am early for almost nothing. As I have gotten older, I am far better at being on time, but I still JUST make it most of the time. As you might imagine, this doesn’t make for great breakfast. Luckily, my spouse is the king of egg breakfast. We go through DOZENS of eggs each week. So the early bird…gets to cook in my house. This next Call offers benefits for being early. So, don’t procrastinate…

ALL YOLKING
aside

Your mayonnaise is a great judge of character. No, really, I haven’t lost my mind. If you’re not vegan, and you hate mayonnaise, it is probably because you’ve never had anything but the homogenized, bland, store-bought variety. Real mayonnaise, if fresh, is made of three simple ingredients: egg yolks, oil & acid. I prefer farm-fresh eggs, olive oil and lemon. The are hundreds of combinations each with their own quirks and complexities. Mayo-making is an foodie’s artisan craft, and this next Call is a celebration of fine craft from basketry to furniture and everything in between. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Birds

CHICKY

When I was pregnant, I couldn’t eat anything that looked like a bird. The smell of fresh-roasted chicken made me ill. And, while I could eat a chicken nugget or bad, food-service breaded chicken patty, the mere sight of a drumstick would make me violently ill. At the time, I worked behind the cheese counter at The Gourmet Shop–which was, and still is, famous for the hundreds of pounds of chicken salad they make & sell everyday. That job didn’t last long. This next Call IS NOT for roasted birds; I suspect they would prefer imagery of birds that are still very much alive. Just sayin’…

CALL for ENTRIES: Sense of Place 2014

Posted on March 19, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

FRIENDLY FRUIT
in a small world

Grocery shopping is often a small world experience for me. I’ll be thinking of having teriyaki wings, and my husband will come home with the chicken. Or, I’ll be dreaming of pineapple-infused rice for my salmon, and my stop at the grocery store with produce a beautifully ripe pineapple that just happens to be on sale. I’m just lucky that way, I suppose. Just the other day, I was thinking of a couple of pieces I saw in someone’s personal art collection, and what do you know–the juror pops up in this call. It’s a small world…

CALL for ENTRIES: Like a Tom Waits Song

Posted on February 6, 2014February 6, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

sometimes an EGG
is more than an EGG

The creative are often food obsessed. I am not alone. Food is a common experience for us all, but I find that creative people tend to purposefully try to indulge all the senses at once–musicians, writers, dancers AND visual artists. So how perfect is this next Call that centers around a slightly food-obsessed musician. If you don’t know his work (Eggs & Sausage is one of my favorites, but Chocolate Jesus was infamously controversial), do your homework…you won’t be sorry.

Check out of this Call for Entries from the Arc Studios & Gallery (San Francisco, CA) for Like a Tom Waits Song. This is one of the most unique themes I have ever published. Fascinating…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Like a Tom Waits Song

This open call is for all artists who have found themselves deeply moved, enraptured, bemused or inspired by Tom Waits. Has his music ever transported you to a dusty desert town or an abandoned train yard or a glowing, gritty neon rainy city street filled with steam? Listening to his music do you come away from the experience with a flash of inspiration embodying his lyrics? Like Tom Waits, do you tell tall tales and spin yarns with your work?

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all US artists

MEDIA: Sculpture, painting, drawing, photo, printmaking, ceramics, assemblage, collage, mixed media, fiber art & artist books. This exhibition cannot accept jewelry, video, film, performance art, installation and works requiring an external electrical source.

DEADLINE: February 23rd, 2014

NOTIFICATION: March 28, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 3

The range of work includes paintings, works on paper, photography and sculpture.

RECIPE

Everyone I know makes at least one dish that makes people ask, “How do you make that?” Mine has changed over the years from hollandaise sauce to creamed spinach to 40 spice hummus. Similarly, everyone who is in arts management or administration hears the same question, “How do I get a solo/group show in a gallery?” This next Call answers that question. Take a look…
