CALL for ENTRIES: B*tch Fest

Posted on April 14, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

damn the
AMBER WAVES

Wheat is in EVERYTHING. Even marshmallows are often off-limits because of a common form of flour-coating to prevent clumping. Even if I weren’t allergic to wheat, why would I want it in everything? It is in all of your soups, your nacho cheese and even in your caramel-colored roast beef. It really pisses me off. Just saying. This next Call wants to know what YOU have to bitch about. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the B*tchfest from The Haggus Society (Los Angeles, CA). The entry fee is ONLY $12.50 for up to TEN images. Don’t miss this opportunity from one of our sponsors…

fresh, summer
STEW?

As Spring heads toward Summer, my house is in full-on busy mode. With a teenager, 3+ business endeavors and a small-scale entertainment career, sometimes I just crave the opportunity to cook a full meal. But in the meantime, I am trying to figure out how to make crock-pot meals feel fresh & Spring-like instead of cozy, warm winter stock. Wish me luck because all I’ve come up with is chicken soup. The next best thing is to skip Summer meal planning for Winter art planning. Take a look at this Call…

FISH

It is time for fresh fish again, right? The sun was shining so brightly yesterday, that I had this overwhelming desire to lie in the grass in the sun with a fishing line tied to my big toe…and wait.

FRENCH FRY
fuel
hold the ketchup

I’m fascinated by the prospect of using veggie oil as an alternative fuel for powering cars & heating homes. I’m not ready to jump to the change; however, I do have some fundamental questions. Are fast food joints going to start get paid for their waste oil? Will traffic jams smell like french fries? What about the pesticides used on the crops from which the oil was processed? The name of this next Call probably doesn’t indicate the heating source, but we can always hope, right? Always investigate…

mountains POTATOES
majesty

I’m craving purple potatoes. Potatoes have become scarce in my house lately. Paranoid about my family’s long history of diabetes, we are trying to limit our starch intake to see if my current symptoms can be controlled through diet. Because we already cut out gluten, I don’t really miss bread. We’ve never consumed a lot of rice & prefer spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles to pasta. But oh how I miss the potatoes– the beautiful, majestic purple ones particularly. I’m sneaking them in as the crust for quiche & pot pies, but the chips & fries & mash are all gone. I have to reserve all things majestic for this next call. Love this one…

PICK ME

Not every weed is to be plucked and discarded. Hopefully no one is spraying chemicals on their garden--either to fertilize OR remove pests; however, I DO want to encourage you to remember that not every weed needs to be removed either. Chickweed is a perfect example. If you’re lucky enough to have it sprout in your garden, don’t weed it…eat it. And you don’t have plant a garden in an open field to find this gem; it even grows in the cracks of sidewalks. No really. This next Call DOES, however, make use of an open field. Investigate…

CABINETS
full of
hard knocks

Unfortunately for my husband, my late Aunt Mildred has been visiting. Not literally–that would be creepy. The long standing joke in my family is that my Aunt Mildred never finished anything until the last possible moment. She hemmed her daughters’ prom dresses while they were in them trying to leave for the prom, and she left all of her kitchen cabinets wide open until she was finished with dinner. This week alone, I have left kitchen cabinets wide open 4 times. If I lose count, I only have to count the knots on his head. So, my family would say, “Hi, Mildred. Thanks for visiting.” This next Call is a far better way to be wide open. Trust me on this one…

’tis the
SEASON

It is ramp season in the Smoky Mountains. I am thrilled to have a locally-grown, fresh vegetable of any sort after the winter of snow & ice we just endured–even if it gives us all dragon breath. If you aren’t familiar, ramps are spring onions with a strong garlic smell and onion flavor. They are called “spring leeks” elsewhere. We’re using them in salads, soups, casseroles and atop nearly every dish consumed in my house right now. You name it, we’re finding a way to eat them. Another sign of Spring is this next Call. Maybe this one is for you…

Born and raised in Oklahoma, Deibler’s passion for landscapes, mountains in particular began after seeing the 1956 movie The Mountain as a young boy.

“Every time I look out the window or walk outside I’m in the mountains, making it much easier for me to observe the constant moods and nuances of nature. My goal is to portray what I’m experiencing in nature, I want the viewer of my work to say ‘I’d like to be there’.”--Tim Deibler

CALL for ENTRIES: Impromptu

Posted on April 5, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

MENU,
s’il vous plait

I have weekly menus for breakfasts, lunches & dinners. I tried being spontaneous by buying pieces & parts in the right amounts & putting it together on the fly. But, I only made it one summer. I have learned if I don’t make a plan & do the prep each morning, we end up eating lazy. That means pizza or wings or burgers, and that’s not always the best choice–even homemade. For now, I’ll keep my impromptu moments out of my kitchen and leave them to my art. How about you?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Impromptu. Low entry ($24) & free matting & framing. Love this theme…

*Editor’s Note: Please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. I have a soft spot for this gallery, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Impromptu

To capture in an instant, an unexpected scene, the unscripted interaction, serendipitous magic in a single shot.

The medium of photography skillfully lends itself to chance. In certain instances the medium is defined by how rapidly a single shot can be fired and, in turn, art created.

Just as an improv actor steps onto the stage without any thoughts or goals is his/her head we are looking for the images you took off the cuff that the very telling, thoughtful and insightful ones. Photographs that succeed because they aren’t staged. Work that encapsulates a plot line, a “scene of crime” or unique character-driven exchange.

These haphazard interpretations of reality can be monumentally powerful, humorous, heart-rending or sublime. A moment, frozen forever through the lens of our cameras.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: May 14, 2014

NOTIFICATION: May 20, 2014

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 for $24 US for on-line & $29 by email
