CALL for SUBMISSIONS: $1000 Artist Grant

Learn more about the Artist Grant from WorkingArtist.org!

TOFU no, VEGGIES though

Testimonials and recommendations are great, but my taste buds choose for themselves.  As a welcomed side-result of writing these posts, I receive a significant amount of unsolicitied recommendations for brands of food that are meant to change my mind about tofu, kale & collard greens.  And, I diligently try most to of the suggests, just in case.  On occasion I muse to myself, “that wasn’t half bad”, (never about tofu though), but the important thing for me is to not get stuck in a rut or trust a single encounter as the definitive one.  Did you know that I avoided asparagus for 20 years because of my experiences with the canned variety as a child.  I missed 20 years of green tree goodness.  Never again.  So, send me your food suggestions, and I’ll send you my art experience suggestions.  Here’s one now. 

Yesterday, I offered a Call that chose random winners for supplies in a specific media, but today I offer a Call with a juried winner of cash open to wide array of media.  More accurately, this is a purchase award of sorts.  You do not have to submit the work that will be exchanged for the $1000 –that can be negotiated later.  They even pay shipping costs to get the work to them. I’ve been touting this opportunity for years, so there is a long, RESEARCHABLE history of winners.  Draw your own conclusions about their taste, but it is worthy of consideration.

Check out this Call to Artists from WorkingArtist.org for the $1000 Artist Grant. $25 entry & an email. It doesn’t get any easier. Don’t miss this one…

just say YES

I don’t understand the Sunday “cheat day”.  I have lots of health conscious friends that believe Sundays are for eating anything you want, no matter how processed, fatty or sugar-laden.  They are looking for a respite, I suppose, from the restrictive day-to-day food habits they practice.  But, I’m an adult, and I don’t need a cheat day.  I am going to eat what I want when I want and deal with the consequences.  Life is short; I want everyday to be a respite from deprivation.  So there.  This next Call offers you a respite from the world and time to concentrate on your art.  Take a look…
