CALL for ENTRIES: Boxed In

Posted on July 11, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

HOLD THE MILK
please

Even my dogs have become finicky eaters. They have always been Milk-Bone® kind of dogs. But it seems that lately they have started turning up their nose to their usual treats. I’ve tried peanut butter flavored and beef basted with no results. I already bake a lot of foods from scratch for my family, and I fear dog treats may get added to the list soon. If I am going to make treats, I’d rather make them for the hard working pups involved with this next call instead of my spoiled brats. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Boxed In, an exhibit that serves as a fundraiser for Sam’s Voice which helps fund Autism service dogs for families.

If your life has been touched by autism, this is ideal for lightweight, lower material cost artwork (photography, drawing, illustration, printmaking, etc). Please consider participating…

HOME

I live in a town with an approximate population of 3,500. Yes, you read that correctly. Luckily we play host to another 10,000 to 100,000 visitors on any given day. That increase in population warrants a few extra convenience, but we still have only one zip code and only one grocery store. For its size, it offers a large variety of fresh, canned and dried organic foods. It seems visitors to the area expect to find organic foods, and I benefit. Yeah. Organic foods are in high demand in Austria as well; I promise that segue to the next Call will make more sense if you just keep reading, ha. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Childhood Memories

Posted on July 8, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

QUICHE
or sardines?

One of my strongest childhood food memories is eating sardines out of the can on the back steps of my grandmother’s house because she couldn’t stand the smell in the kitchen. Random, but unforgettable. I wonder what my child’s will be? Lining up green beans like soldiers? Making a mashed potato volcano? Who knows? Memory is a funny thing. This Call wants to know about your childhood memories. A great excuse to reminisce…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Childhood Memories

Memories are often the inspiration for art. Artists give life to the characters and environments of our childhood memories, recording fragments of dreams, snippets of passing time, and experiences that have shaped our lives.

This call asks artists to explore childhood memories…the early rituals, the rites of passage, the innocence of early life experiences that celebrate the passionate world of childhood. Examples include childhood memories pertaining to a specific event or experience that has previously occurred. For example, recollection of an episode among friends or family members in a specific time (holidays), places (school), and/or and memories of the associated emotions of the event.

BOOKS
for breakfast

We are all taught from an early age not to judge a book by its cover. However, nearly every cookbook in my collection got there because of an appetizing photograph on the cover. A friend that photographs food for a living told me that the looks are often achieved through under cooking, over cooking, shellac, resin and paint. What a shame that such beautiful food never gets eaten. But that knowledge does make me feel better about the ugly stuff I serve fairly regularly. This next Call wants to see your books and challenges artists of ALL media to enter. Take a look…

My cupboard is the portfolio of a food freak. No joke. I can’t eat wheat. My husband is allergic to seafood. And my son is lactose intolerant. It is a little ridiculous. Let’s hope the portfolio you enter for this next call is freaky in a GOOD way. Take a look…

RED and GREEN

My cooking could be kindly described as abstract. As long as I get the flavor profile correct, I tend not to care if it actually looks like the textbook dish. That results in a lot of brown food for some reason. Maybe it is my love of of dark vinegars and mushrooms. Who knows. This next Call is looking for your abstractions. Don’t miss it this chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Toy Camera Fest

Posted on July 2, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

KITCHEN
tundra

I have a lot of kitchen toys, but most of them are small, manually-operated hand gadgets. Honestly, I’m not sure I could cook without a manual juice reamer or my mandolin. I usually forego the big, shiny electric appliances, but I recently gave in to a beautiful tangerine colored Cuisinart ice cream maker. It looks like a toy, but it produces masterpieces. A little kefir milk, a few raspberries and a scrape of vanilla bean is all it takes. This next Call wants to see the masterpiece you can create with a toy. Be sure to read the media description completely…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Nave Gallery and Washington Street Art Center (Somerville, MA) for The Somerville Toy Camera Fest. Don’t pass this up because of the “toy camera” label until you’ve read the definition below carefully. Did I mention the entry fee is cheap? Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Toy Camera Fest

Expect the unexpected. The Nave Gallery and Washington Street Art Center have in the past separately held toy camera photography shows. They are now joining together to create an international festival in Somerville, MA celebrating the quirky and creative results that happen when the photographer is forced to loosen his/her controls.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography. For the Somerville Toy Camera Fest (STCF), “toy camera” is identified as any low-end, low-tech, limited-control camera, including Holga, Diana and other Lomo products, as well as Brownies and Anscos and any pinhole cameras. Images made from Polaroid film backs attached to Holga are welcome; straight Polaroid camera pictures are not. Cell phone images are welcome.

DEADLINE: July 24, 2013

Isa’s work is represented by the Corden|Potts Gallery in San Francisco, CA and the Richard Levy Gallery in Albuquerque, NM.

“Above all, I want to see images that evoke a strong emotion — joy, fear, sadness, anger, revulsion — or challenge the way I think. Toy camera imagery is about defying photographic conventions. In fact, I think of it as the visual equivalent of punk music. So, let’s make some noise.”–Isa Leshko, Juror

AWARDS: People’s Choice Award (for each location): 1 Holga 144-120 Medium Format 120N Camera with Built-in Lens, 3 Honorable mention juror awards (for each location).

BACON
anyone?

I grew up in a house with a bacon grease pot. For those of you unfamiliar, that is a recycled metal coffee can that you dump your excess bacon grease in every morning for use in your dinner, nearly every night. The saturated fat from smoked cured pig permeated nearly every meal of my childhood. But in hindsight, I suppose my grandmother was ahead of the kitchen recycling/upcycling trend, eh? This next call is all about renewal and reuse. Take a look…

New foods/materials are fascinating. Well, foods that are new to me would be more accurate. My newest is flax seed meal. I use it to make everything from scones to crackers and biscuits. Then there is the chickpea. It isn’t new but some of its uses are. Chickpeas aren’t just for hummus. I made cookies out of them. The best cookies ever–no exaggeration. This next Call will let you use old materials, but the fair is named for the new ones. This is a HUGE opportunity for someone…
