CALL for ENTRIES: Szpilman Award

Posted on September 16, 2012September 16, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ROCK or ROLL
foods

Some foods are fleeting. I love it when foods are only available for a couple of weeks. It is a snooze-and-you-lose kind of situation. Romanesco broccoli is a great example. It is a fabulously alien looking vegetable, and the season isn’t all that short, but it is rarely found for more than a couple of weeks at grocers. This next Call is all about the value in the fleeting. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Szpilman Award from Szpilman (a group of artists, based in Berlin and Frankfurt, Germany) given to ephemeral works. There is no entry fee, but the postmark deadline is just around the corner. Don’t miss this opportunity!

CALL for ENTRIES: Embracing our Differences

Posted on September 5, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

TABLE
for 40?

I do not understand the over-size food craze. I occasionally watch Man vs. Food, and each time I wonder, “Will he ever want to eat that again?” Why would anyone order a 7lb burger, 5 gallons of ice cream or 4 lbs of pancakes unless they were having a party. The 10 ft. sub sandwich, that I understand. Party food. But where is the fun in making yourself ill with a food you may now love but never again be able to face? Well, this next call is all about over-sized goodness. Check it out…

Check out this great Call for Entries for the Annual Embracing our Differences Exhibit in Sarasota, FL. And in addition to possibly getting your artwork on a billboard …don’t forget there is NO ENTRY FEE!

Posted on April 1, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

THE MOON
or just a moon pie

My husband has it easy when it comes to gift giving; my attention and affection is easily persuaded by sweets.

CALL for ENTRIES: Treasured

Posted on March 15, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ORANGE you…
TEMPTED?

Genetically modified food scares the crap out of me. I understand, economically speaking, why food is modified. But it doesn’t matter how much disease-resistant, mutant corn you can produce if everyone has three heads and glows in the dark. Am I suggest that genetically-modified corn causes these symptoms? No. I am suggesting that none of us know WHAT the end result could be. I’m planting heirloom varieties in my patch in the back yard this year. This Call certainly encourages you to beauty and vulnerability of the endangered and the threatened. Investigate for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Treasured. This show also allows you to be associated with a fundraiser without having to sacrifice your artwork or your portion of the sales price. Don’t miss this great theme either…

CALL for ENTRIES: Journeys

Posted on March 12, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

I’ll take mine
TO GO, PLEASE

Road trip food rocks. Even bad food results in a good story about bad food. You can’t miss a burger at The Varsity in Atlanta or a frozen hurricane at Pat O’Brien’s in New Orleans. But, don’t dismiss the hole in a wall on a back road with one blinking light and a frog legs special either. This next Call will have you reminiscing about your road trips too. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Picture & Travel

Posted on March 7, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CANNOLI ME!

Pasta makes me happy. Cannoli are divine. I have a weak spot for Italian food of all sorts, actually, pasta or no pasta. But Greek food floats my boat as well. Maybe it is just the Mediterranean influence in general that I love. This next call gives you the opportunity to visit Italy. Eat a cannoli for me, please…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Cultural Association MoCA (Modern Contemporary Art), in collaboration with Agriturismi.it for the 3rd installment of Take a Picture and Travel.

OPEN CALL: Barrier Beautification

Posted on January 31, 2012January 31, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

GREEN is for GO
…not EAT

Boredom is cause for eating at my desk, in my car or on my couch. I’m not saying that it is healthy behavior, but it is, in fact, MY behavior. I suppose if my Jeep came equipped with a fridge so that I could munch on carrot stick, yogurt and other healthy goodies, it might be less of a problem. However, I would settle for less boredom in the car. This next call offers motorists a better view and you a possible adventure. Take a look…

Check out this Open Call from the New York City Department of Transportation’s Urban Art program for their Barrier Beautification opportunity. I know some of you are thinking “I don’t live in NYC.” Well, you don’t have to, and it would pay for you to remember that you are a citizen of the world…not just your hometown. At least take the time to investigate…

Additionally, each artist will receive a $500 stipend to cover the cost of materials to translate the design onto the barriers (i.e. special paper, stencils and markers). NYCDOT and NY Cares will provide materials and tools to paint the design.

WINE
before WHINE

Communal cooking requires wine consumption. Well, it does for ME. It isn’t that I don’t trust other people to do things “right” in the kitchen; afterall, my husband cooks dinner for our family almost every night. No, it is really about being IN the kitchen with multiple people, all doing things differently. I can adapt, it just requires a little wine in the beginning, ha. This next Call could require some communal cooking. Look out…
