CALL for ENTRIES: The Sketchbook Project

pickled, not red

My pantry is a library of food fads and favorites.  You’ll find canned tomatoes from my mother (necessary to all of my favorite dishes) and high-fat coconut milk (necessary to all quiet indulgences).  Then there is the the fruit cocktail, quince marmalade, pickled herring, kimchi, a jar of black lime & a few dried apricots left over from some food obsession or experiment that either went awry or with which I got bored.  I can’t bring myself to get rid of the non-expired food no matter how random because they occasionally inspire genius.  This next Call displays the beauty of collecting and sometimes inspires genius.  This is a beautiful idea…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Brooklyn Art Library for The Sketchbook Project (SBP 2015).  Send your work on tour of museums and galleries across North America for as little as $25!  Since the last time I mention SBP, there is now a digitized option!  Take a look…

YOU
GLAD?

While in Phoenix recently, I discovered that our hosts were lucky to have an orange tree in their back yard.  Every morning I went out back to the sweet smell of orange blossoms and the overwhelmingly loud buzzing of bees.  I am inspired by the smell and sound.  I wonder if I can get an orange tree to grow in my Smoky Mountain yard?  This next Call is from California — where they have no problem getting orange trees to grow either. 

Check out this Call for Entries from Sebastopol Center for the Arts (in California) for Bibliophoria II.  The entry fee is a little high for non-members, but you’ve gotta love book shows.  Book shows are less common than you think so the risk could be worth it.  Take a chance…
