fiesta ANACARDO

I made a little party mix as finger food for my teenager yesterday. It is his favorite snack, and I’m a sucker for the “please” of it all. The reviews are in and while I got I got bonus points for substituting cayenne for garlic, apparently not including cashews is unforgivable. Who knew something so small would make such a difference? This next Call is counting on all things small. Investigate for yourself…

CALL for ENTRIES: 63rd Annual National

AGUA limpia

I am not an avid fan of drinking water, but my health requires it. Since the wildfires, I find that our water tastes different due to additives to protect us from bacteria that may have grown during the week water was not circulating. It isn’t just a beverage. It washes every dish. It is the foundation for coffee, tea, chicken stock and even poached eggs, mashed potatoes and steamed spinach. Never take clean water for granted. This next call requires the use of water media for all submissions. Take a look…

et tu, Brute?

Anchovy paste is a standard item in my pantry, but it’s because I have a Caesar salad addiction. Otherwise, I don’t know a single person that eats anchovies outside of my family. Then, I was sitting in a pizza joint in Hendersonville, NC when I heard someone say, “I’m here for the anchovy, black olive pie.” See, I am not alone –never alone. There are benefits to being alone at times though. This next Call is the perfect opportunity to go solo. Don’t miss this chance…

WATER bombs

I am anxiously awaiting the availability of watermelon. So many foods are so poorly named, like buckwheat (not wheat) or sweetbreads (not sweet, not bread). But watermelon is 90% water and somehow still tastes like a beautiful chunk of sunshine. This next Call is also a little slice of summer. Be sure to investigate the opportunity…

green PROMISE

My papaya won’t ripen; it has been in my kitchen window for a week. Ahhhh. I try to eat mostly locally sourced/grown food; however, I am not going to commit myself to a lifetime of no bananas or papaya or mango because I live in the wrong grow zone. As a result, some of the tropical fruits I buy are vastly under-ripe. I usually just gross my fingers and hope for the best. But when you know how fantastic something will the be, the anticipation can be a overwhelming. This next Call is for a show I anticipate every year, both as a participant and a viewer.

CALL for ENTRIES: Human Relationship to Water

Posted on March 25, 2017March 25, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

drip drip DRIP

Do you take water for granted? Despite the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the ongoing reality of Flint, Michigan, and the horror of #NoDAPL protest conditions, among a hundred other examples, I am guilty of taking for granted that when I turn the handle, the water will be clean and abundant. Until the wildfires. It only took a week of boil conditions to make me realize how precious water is. While we were under boil orders, I second guessed every utensil, every plate. Did this get washed with boiled water? Will this spoon make me sick? Every meal. Every snack. Every day. How would living without clean water affect your life? I’m not the only one asking. Take a look at this next Call questioning your relationship to water. Take a look…

Human Relationship to Water from
L.A. Photo Curator

“. . .man’s relationship with water has become estranged. As ports closed and moved outside of the city, as planes and cars took over the role of the seas, and as the individual came to expect their cargo at their doorstep, so too did human interconnectivity lose its relationship to water and the natural elements.” –from Adriaan Van Der Plas via laphotocurator.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: April 5, 2017 (Midnight PST)

NOTIFICATION: (and opening date) April 25, 2017

ENTRY FEE: $20 for up to 3. 15% of artist fees go to 2 charities per competition. 7.5% to the curator’s choice of charity and 7.5% to the first place winner’s chosen charity. Adriaan Van Der Plas has chosen the charity Clean Water Action.

CURATOR: Founder Adriaan Van Der Plas was once himself an outsider, having left his hometown of Vienna, Austria in 1973 to immigrate to New York City. Around this time, artist Konstantin Bokov was preparing to make the same transition. Inspired by the works of Van Gogh and unable to show his art in the political climate of the USSR, he decided to leave the Ukraine for New York city. The two became acquainted in 1993, when Bokov approached Adriaan at his former art pushcart concept in the South Street Seaport district, “Art a la carte”.

Adriaan became an avid collector of his work, recognizing the sincerity by which the work was able to portray New York’s spirit and materiality. With the opening of the Van Der Plas gallery on 156 Orchard Street, Adriaan made it the gallerys mission to bring contemporary outsiders into the public eye.

SALES: All sales are conducted between the artist & buyer. There is no commission.

I’m that person that always has a drink in her hand. And, because I spend so much time on the road, I drink lots of water and more soft drinks that I care to admit. When I finally get home, I just want a tall, cold glass of unsweetened, decaf black tea. How odd that it would be a simple glass of tea that would remind me so much of home. This next Call wants your thoughts on ‘home’ –person, place, feeling. What’s home to you?

“Ever since Pong took the world by storm, video games have been a rapidly growing and evolving art form. Earlier video games, limited by the technology of the time forced designers to think of new ways of rendering figures. However as the technology evolved so did the art form, with modern games limited only by the imagination of the developer. 8-Bit examines this evolution through the lens of visual art and how style, technology & art interact & influence one another, channeling inspiration from “retro” technology into art.” –from whitdelarts.com
