RELISH IT!
I collect condiments, and it is contagious. My husband now collects condiments too. I like relishes and mustards; he likes hot sauces and meat marinades. The collection never gets out of hand because we consume them. It’s a good system. This next Call can help you start a collection of your own. Consider it carefully…
Check out this Call for Entries for the 2nd Annual Print Exchange for a Cure to be hosted by the University of Dallas. The entry fee is low. You get 10 prints in return, AND your work ends up in a permanent University collection. Oh, did I mention the funds raised go to a reputable charity? You couldn’t ask for more.
