CALL for ENTRIES: Trick ART Treat

Posted on October 27, 2013October 27, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

the trick is
I MISS THE TREATS

I haven’t had a trick-or-treater at my door in years. I miss seeing cute kids in even cuter costumes. I miss giving out chocolate, knowing it may be the only candy that doesn’t get thrown away later. But alas, I live in the mountains. Not many people live in neighborhoods, and those that do have an “organized community,” don’t have walkable streets. We buy 4-wheel drive vehicles because we actually need them. Our kids go downtown and trick or treat on Main Street. No joke. So, I have to get in the spirit other ways. I think this next Call is a great start. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from RaiseART (online) for Trick Art Treat, a fun online competition with no fee that might just get you out of your rut and into the Halloween spirit. The award is pretty sweet…

I one of those folks that orders RARE beef and expects it to actually BE rare. I don’t understand why anyone would choose to eat pork, beef or lamb anything other than rare or medium rare.

Vacation has not been kind to my figure. Tomorrow is the last day of my summer vacation at Lake Lure (Dirty Dancing & Last of the Mohicans were filmed here), and I am already trying to figure out tomorrow’s food schedule and we’ve just finished with today’s brunch. What is it about being out of town that leads to over-indulgence and gluttony? Maybe I need another treat to figure it out. We’ll call it research, ha. Luckily, this next Call takes all interpretations of “figure,” even the vacation version. Take a look…

I’ve been enjoying a Summer of barbeque–tomato-based, mostly, with a dry rub here and there. But, I kind of miss the mustard-based BBQ of South Carolina. And on the even more rare occasion, my thoughts turn to vinegar-based BBQ of North Carolina. It is a lighter, tangy taste than the heavy, pass-the-antacid variety common to most of the South. If you go to the opening for this next Call in NC, be sure to try it. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Cape Fear Studios (Fayetteville, NC) for the 19th Annual Nellie Allen Smith National Juried Pottery Competition. The juror is incredibly talented in her own right, and the entry fee is pretty standard. Don’t miss this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Best Served Hot

Posted on April 19, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

MUG ME,
Joe

I’ve never been a coffee drinker. Well, I used to submit to occasional peer pressure in social situations. Wait, that didn’t sound like I was talking about coffee did it? I probably have not had coffee, or any of its infinite variations, in over 10 years. Nope, I am really not kidding. I used to have my morning caffeine via a diet soft drink, but now I often drink the caffeine-free variety…if at all. I have friends that cannot comprehend how I function without coffee or caffeine. I dunno. This next Call celebrates the morning coffee ritual. Be careful, contents may be hot…

Check out this Call for Entries from Lillstreet Gallery (Chicago, IL) for Best Served Hot: Ceramics for the Coffee Ritual. The entry fee is reasonable. The jurors are great. And, I’ll bet the coffee at the reception will be fantastic, if you’re into that sort of thing. Chug a lug…

CALL for ENTRIES: Sense of Place 2013

Posted on April 3, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

CALIFORNIA
dreaming?

I was out of town this week, and traveling makes eating out necessary. But, I was trying to behave so I’ll fit back into my Spring clothes again soon. At one restaurant, I ordered a California Chicken Salad which included mixed greens, mandarin oranges, dried cranberries, blue cheese, candied pecans, croutons, grilled chicken and balsamic vinaigrette. Mine was sans the blue cheese & pecans, but I am still wondering what made it Californian. The oranges? I still don’t know. Check out this next Call with a name that references place, but it isn’t really the theme. Interesting…

STALE
chicks

I just found out my stove won’t go below 225°. I was preparing to roast chickpeas instead of drying them in my dehydrator. But, I usually slow roast them at 200°. Hmph. Those 25 degrees make a difference. You know what I mean. Haven’t you ever split the difference when you had to bake two things at two different temperatures at the same time? Something usually suffers. I’ve eaten many a soggy crust pizza because of this dilemma. Well this next Call comes from a gallery whose very name involves a melting point reference. Intrigued?

Check out this Call for Entries from Eutectic Gallery (Portland, OR) for ceramic work. The fee is fairly standard, but they take both single artists AND pairs. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mayhem

Posted on February 1, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

THE POPCORN
fiasco

I recently reclaimed my kitchen. Lately, the time I spend outside of my home office, art and music studios is greatly reduced, and now I handle almost ALL of the cooking again. I’m loving it, but I have become SO territorial. My husband can make popcorn, and it looks like someone has been killing zombies. And why, pray tell, if the dishwasher is empty can the dirty dishes not go there instead of on the counter? Deep breaths; I digress. This next Call is all about Mayhem; Send them your best…

Check out this Call for Entries from Arc Gallery (San Francisco, CA) for Mayhem. The entry fee is reasonable, and I like this selection of media. Take a look…

CALL to ACTION: Empty Bowls

Posted on January 29, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

SOUP
for every season

I talk a lot about food. I take food for granted. I have been in some pretty horrible financial situations over the years, but I always knew that there would be a next meal for me and my family. Not everyone has that luxury. So, while I blather on about the pros and cons of of reducing dairy in my diet, there ARE people in my community, and yours, that wish whether or not they have dairy was their CHOICE. This next Call is artistic in nature, related to food, and may be one of the hardest Calls to get you to follow through. Please investigate…

Check out the Call to Action known as Empty Bowls. Many of you get upset at the never ending requests that you, as an artist, receive to donate your work to some non-profit or the other. Here’s your chance to be a part of creating an event that makes a difference in YOUR community in a way that YOU can control. Please just take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL to ACTION: Empty Bowls, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL to ACTION:
Empty Bowls

Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger and was created by The Imagine Render Group.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: The basic premise is simple: Potters and other craftspeople, educators and others work with the community to create handcrafted bowls. Guests are invited to a simple meal of soup and bread.

DEADLINE: On-going as long as someone in your community is hungry

SALES: In exchange for a cash donation, guests are asked to keep a bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. The money raised is donated to an organization working to end hunger and food insecurity.

It is the collective genius of all the people involved that has made Empty Bowls what it has become. Events have now taken place across the United States and in at least a dozen other countries. Many millions of dollars have been raised and donated to hunger-fighting organizations. We could never have imagined all the things people have done or all the ways the project has touched people.

Each individual or group organizing an event designs it around the needs of their own community and is responsible for their own event. We ask that all such events are called Empty Bowls so that the idea can continue to spread.

Please make your event inclusive, insist that it maintain a high level of integrity, include an educational component to raise awareness, and give the money raised to an organization helping to feed people in need.

The largest hunger-relief organization in the United States, Feeding America, reports that the nation’s food banks could soon be overwhelmed by demand. Statistics show that 1 out of 8 Americans struggle with food insecurity every day. Millions of people have lost their jobs during the most recent recession and the number of food stamp recipients has increased dramatically. Your help is needed now more than ever.
