CALL for ENTRIES: 53rd Annual Juried

gelatinous
CULTURE

Mayhaw jelly is the gift that keeps giving. I appreciate receiving foods from all over the U.S., but often those foods aren’t necessarily native to an area — just popular there. But, the mayhaw berry is native to the wetlands, so every time I receive a Louisiana batch, I am transported back to a place I love. You can keep the beignets; just pass the jelly. This next Call hails from Louisiana too and is just as special. Take a look…

OLIVE
facial

We consume a lot of extra virgin olive oil, but I have found yet another reason to love this elixir. It has topical applications too. I suppose it should occur to me that it would make fantastic lotions and eye creams, but I always thought of it as an ingredient –not for use in pure form. This next Call is as virginal as my new make remover. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Woman Made Gallery (Chicago) for One in Herself. Love this gallery & the history of well-curated shows. Great opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
One in Herself

“According to the book, Villa of Mysteries… by Katherine Bradway, the original definition of the term, ‘Virgin’ describes ‘a woman who is one-in-herself, belonging to herself alone, being her own mistress,’ and that the ‘virgin goddesses symbolized women who were complete in themselves and not merely counterparts of male consorts. They were capable of developing their own wholeness through integration, realizing their separate qualities inside themselves rather than through projection onto other persons to whom they were related.’ One in Herself invites artists to present work that expands our ideas of virginity and of what it means to be a woman, “who is one-in-herself.”–from womanmade.org

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: January 3, 2016

NUTRITION

I have a food tattoo. Not surprised, are you? It wasn’t meant to be a food tattoo. I spent a week in NYC while in the area for my grad school interviews. So, I went to the Big Apple and decided the perfect souvenir would be to come home with a little apple. Ridiculous, I know. I’ve thought about expanding on the food theme, but I’d rather spend my money on food than tattoos, ha. Plus, I’m a wimp when it comes to pain. This next Call is interested on what’s on the body, not just tattoos. Take a look…

NEW TREATS

My “pup” will eat anything. Pepper, my four-legged child, is going to be a pup of ten-years-old soon. As she gets older, there are fewer and fewer things she should eat. The food she loves is of the cheapest, most fast-food sort of variety. We limit her people food to fresh veggies & the occasional egg, but her dog food and treats have taken a huge turn. The cheapest of food causes the worst of skin allergies, but for the love of this animal, I’ll probably be making her food and treats before long. This next Call is for the love of animals, not just dogs. Here’s your chance to make a difference, but they are taking the percentage from their share…

comfort FOOD

When winter hits, my mood often turns darker. But, instead of pizza & ice cream (okay, sometimes instead), I try to reset my nutritional routine. I am always surprised how unexpected foods can trigger a change in mood. Healthy fats like that found in fish, nuts, avocado are shown to improve brain health while vitamin D found in dairy (and non-dairy mylks) are a big help if I have been stuck indoors. Spicy foods offer anti-inflammatory benefits that help with circulation and my energy levels. Making a positive change in what I eat often helps me combat a negative turn in my mood when winter sets in. This next Call is all positive. Take a look…

GETTING a SHOW: Updated Resource

Getting a Show: Avoiding the Pitfalls & Pratfalls by RLGibson

ArtAndArtDeadlines.com began as a way to keep track of shows worth entering for artists, friends and peers– beginners, emerging & established. And over the years, I have found that established artists still make many the same mistakes I see from beginners, over and over again. As a gallerist, juror & critic, I am regularly asked why I choose one artist’s work over another. There is never just one reason, but there are a handful of regular mistakes that influence my decisions NOT to choose work. The obvious first issue: the art must be good, or at least promising–that should be the most important fact. But to tell the truth, there’s a gallery or a show out there for most art– the sumptuous & the sour. But, because the world is full of banana peels, we’ve newly updated one of our artist resources…

White chocolate is not chocolate. Every year I have to remind a few folks. Those cocoa bean solids are the defining issue. I’ll eat just a kiss, or a smooch if you will, of white chocolate each year. But when I say, “I’m craving chocolate”, the answer is never white-chocolate-macadamia-nut anything. Just to be clear. Consider this my yearly white chocolate PSA. And to be honest, I’d rather have my smooches & kisses a very different way –like this Call. Take a look…

“Brancusi did it. Rodin did it. Even Tamara de Lempicka did it.

“The kiss has left its mark on many works of art, from the stone carvings of Constantin Brancusi to its marble predecessor sculpted by Rodin. With her kiss, Tamara de Lempicka delivered a woman swept off her feet by a high society gentleman, clad in an oily top hat, against the cubist backdrop of a city port. Each kiss carries its own sentiment.

“When lips meet, they promise temporary escape or a lifetime of devotion. When tongues touch, they deliver notes to our lovers, detailing desire or a lack thereof.” –from onthegroundfloor.co

MEDIA: Open to all media

THEME: The kiss –open to interpretation

power FOODS

Green chili has made my week. Sometimes I struggle in the winter since most produce is sun-powered. But, I have learned how to make the best of what IS available. Using imported, hot-house tomatoes is never my first choice; however, if you are going to cook them for hours, like I do in green chili, tangy unriped green tomatoes can be just the thing to fool your taste buds for another week until Spring arrives. Here’s a sun-powered Call that will make your week too. Take a look…

BLUES

I have broken my own blue-food rule. I have ranted & raved for years about food coloring. I have forever sworn off any faux food colored any shade of blue, but I have given in. This year will be my very first time in my life that I will have a “real” Christmas tree (living, as opposed to artificial). So, I decided that all the ornaments and decorations should be “real” too (read handmade or homemade). I couldn’t resist the most beautiful electric-blue gum drops I have ever seen. I am testing them out as a sweet garland. Forgive the hypocrisy, but I promise not to eat them. This next Call is another non-edible use for all things blue. Maybe this one’s for you…

“The deeper the blue becomes, the more strongly it calls man towards the infinite, awakening in him a desire for the pure and, finally, for the supernatural… The brighter it becomes, the more it loses its sound, until it turns into silent stillness & becomes white.”

Being a great cook, is an interdisciplinary skill. I know a handful of people who claim to be so uncreative that they “can’t draw a stick figure”. Clearly, creativity is not measured by the quality of your stick figures. But I am willing to accept those sorts of self-assessments –unless they come from a great cook. Composing the perfect dish requires great taste, some basic scientific knowledge, both an eye for design and nose for the perfect unexpected ingredient. Without that combination of talent, meals are likely to be unremarkable. This Call is another way to put a combo of talents to the test. Take a look…
