CALL for ENTRIES: Gems in the Ruins

Posted on April 23, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

SUMMER SQUASH
not winter

I’ve just gotten used to not being cold, and recipe sites are already touting Fall foods like acorn squash. Cut it out. We’ve all learned to live with the sales of holiday-themed items a full two to three months BEFORE the holiday. But, I refuse to start buying winter foods during the bounty of Summer. Why would I give up a beautiful zucchini blossom for cinnamon-laden, pumpkin-flavored everything? I simply will not give in on food. If you want to dream of Fall, this next Call is a BEST sort of reason to think of Fall in advance. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from 4heads.org for the 2015 Governor’s Island Art Fair. $35 to apply, but your room is free–FOR A MONTH! Did I mention that commission is only 30%? I love New York in the Fall…

CALL for ENTRIES: Humans vs. Nature

Posted on April 22, 2015April 22, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

to MEAT or
not to MEAT

I am not currently a vegetarian, but I think I could be without that much difficulty. It is a personal choice that I have examined over the years. As Jon & I head toward a more agrarian lifestyle, I recognize that I am unwilling to take the life of an animal living on my farm (chickens, rabbits & goats). Instead, I leave that job to my husband who has less of a debate with it than I do. Does that mean I should not be willing to eat them–since I couldn’t kill them? This is my current philosophical internal dialogue. These animals offer my family the best way to get protein, but the chickens & goats can produce protein in the form of eggs & milk without it resulting in their demise. Should we choose NOT to kill them? I know both sides of the argument. Do I choose not to eat it if I cannot kill it? The war of human versus nature rages in my mind as it does in this next Call from F-Stop. Take a look & offer your best…

LOBSTER
and peanuts

Most people associate Georgia with peaches, or maybe peanuts (thanks to Jimmy Carter), but I always think of barbeque ribs or creamy lobster bisque. Random, I know. I grew up in a suburb of Atlanta as a young girl, and barbeque ribs were a standard at least one night a week during the summer. Once a teenager, I made treks to Savannah with my mother to have table-side Caesar salad and lobster bisque from our favorite restaurant. I suppose every person’s food story is a unique work of non-fiction. This next Call is your non-fiction opportunity to tell your own solo story. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Non-Fiction Gallery (Savannah, GA) for Your Art Here. $35 fee & 35% commission. Here is a great chance for a solo show of your own. Take a minute to investigate…

LEEKS

It is ramp season again! I love many, many things about living in the Great Smoky Mountains, but ramps are a Spring favorite for my family.

MORE please

I seek out Greek food. I don’t have access to Greek food at home, except my husband’s exceptional version of Moussaka, so I’m always on the hunt. I have noticed a rather odd phenomenon–Greek food crossed with diner culture. I keep seeing menu after menu with both platters of fries AND bowls of Avgolemono. Sometimes it is great to expect to get one thing but find yourself with options when you take a closer look. I suppose this next Call is exactly like that. Take a look…

lots of
STEAM

My son is learning to cook. More accurately, my husband & I are forcing our son to cook dinner once per week. He has shown no really interest in producing meals–only eating them. So, we are not giving him an option. My concern is that if he doesn’t learn how, he’ll be forced to eat commercially-processed crap his entire life. He doesn’t like cooking. Doing anything solo the first time is scary, but my kiddo has turned it into a pressure-cooked affair. Let’s hope it gets easier. This next Call is YOUR chance to do art solo. Don’t stress, just submit a proposal…

TWO POTATO

I like to think I am pretty smart about food. But, regardless of what I know, I cannot kick the habit of eating emotionally.

don’t be
BLUE

There aren’t really any naturally-occurring blue foods–of which I am aware. But maybe that is why I’m not a fan of color blue, with the exceptions of navy (almost purple) & turquoise (high green only). Blue foods scream, “Plastic” every time I see them–from icing on cakes to the blue tongues of toddlers eating shaved ice. I know; my food quirks never end. This next Call is just the perfect shade away from blue. Take a look…

melon or
MELON?

Things are not always as they appear. Take the Yubari melon, while it looks like a $4 canteloupe, it has a unique flavor you won’t ever forget.

Looks are deceiving, so investigate…

chaste crackers
SINFUL CHOCOLATE

Food legends abound. Every time I think I have heard them all, another creeps us. Did you know s’mores are meant to curb sexual desire? Well, kind of. Sylvester Graham, the inventor of the graham cracker, was a minister that created an entire lifestyle including the consumption of this self-proclaimed “bland” graham crackers as a way to control wild sexual urges. We’re thinking he wouldn’t approve of the debauchery that is marshmallow and chocolate though. This next Call wants your best work surrounding a legend. Fun theme with an IMMINENT DEADLINE…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Folktales & Legends

Folktales and legends blur fact and fiction; seeded in the truth, they grow into stories both fantastical and far-fetched.
