CALL for ENTRIES: Tiny Divas

Posted on September 1, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

greens or
BEANS?

My mother cans green beans for me every year, and when I arrive to pick them up for winter back stock, her questions is always, “Greens or beans?” Apparently toward the end of the canning batch, the last few jars have an excess of beans from the ones that fell out of the greens while cooking. My mother thinks those little beans are the star of the show, while I’ll take the greens every time. If your your smallest art could be the star of the show, this next Call just might be for you. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Tiny Divas

Bold. Talented. Demanding. Idolized.

Whether they are known for their powerhouse vocals and intoxicating talent or their over-the-top, won’t-stop, vogue-til-you-drop life and style, a true diva is a muse to the masses. With public response shifting between veneration and vilification, divas captivate, terrify and inspire. They unapologetically demand devotion while remaining utterly unapproachable, keeping the world at a measured distance.

Non-Fiction Gallery wants to bring the celebrity divine within reach. Rather than choosing the more obvious route of “large persona, larger artwork,” the gallery’s next juried show will feature the world’s favorite superstars on a pocket-sized scale. Show them your smallest works inspired by the biggest and boldest doyennes.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all media up to 12″ (unframed) or 16″ (framed) on the longest side, & price should not exceed $275

DEADLINE: September 26, 2014

NOTIFICATION: September 30, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $20 for up to 3, $5 ea. add’l

JUROR: Max Arnzen, Clinton Edminster & Patrick Suggett. & Suggett have been collaborating for the last 7 years on art centered projects, sharing an extensive background in film festival curation & organization. Edminster currently operates as the Executive Director of Art Rise Savannah, where he has overseen the development of multiple community programs.

CALL for ENTRIES: Pure Abstraction

Posted on August 30, 2014August 30, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

CAKE,
carrots & all…

Do you know what you call a spice cupcake without the cream cheese frosting? A breakfast muffin. My husband is dubious, but I say the notions of breakfast, lunch, supper and dinner foods are abstract at best. Why must it be eggs for breakfast? And how much difference is there between banana bread and carrot cake, really? Mmmhmm. This next Call is looking for the abstract, and they DON’T mean carrot cake OR banana bread. Take a look…

CUCURBITA

Squash is yellow in my house. If I ask, “do you want squash with dinner”, I mean the yellow, long-neck variety of summer squash. If I want acorn, spaghetti or zucchini squash I will ask for it.

TAMALE

Apparently, I’m a hot tomato. Yep. I have a friend from Honduras for whom English is a 3rd language. And she likes to call me a hot tomato. She uses it in reference to my writing and singing style, and I’ve decided to take it as a compliment. The first few times I heard it, I gently reminded her that she meant ‘tamale’ not ‘tomato’. But eventually, I came to think she may be right. I look good in red. I am occasionally rounder than other times. My insides are squishy, but the contents vary from sweet to acid–determined by environment. This next Call is looking for all thinks tomato–apparently including me. Love this theme…

HAD A COW

Have you heard about the cannulated cows? Wow. Who knew there were cows with port holes? I was watching the Wisconsin edition of Weird Foods America. And a professor at UW-Madison Department of Dairy Science was explaining how they put port holes in the side of cows to study the “ruminant’s digestive process” or the chewing of the cud aka “ruminating.” Into my miscellaneous food trivia file THAT tidbit went; THEN, I received this Call from Ruminate Magazine. Funny how things work out…

Not every food fad is a good one. I am still waiting for jalapeno poppers and chicken fingers to go away. But, if farm to table/plate is a fad, I hope it lasts forever.

BANANAS

Everyone has to eat on the run sometimes. Not every meal can be separated into courses that stretch out over 2 hours. But, compact meals don’t have to be of lesser quality just because they are rushed. My favorite all-in-one breakfast is bananas with crunchy peanut or almond butter with a few berries chopped for the top. Compact but quality–just like this 4 in 1 Call. Take a look…
