CALL for ENTRIES: Pets 2

Posted on June 28, 2016June 28, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

tricky TREATS

My dog only eats dog treats at home. When she’s at the dog sitter’s house, she will only take cat treats. I don’t get it. I once had a cat that would only limp when I watched her. How odd to think that our perceived expectations alter even the behavior of our furry family. This next Call wants to know about your favorite animal friends. An opportunity with a little heart…

CALL for ENTRIES: Technology & Nature

electronic EATS

I spent another week eating & working on the road. I am a grazer, always snacking on something whether I am home or on the road. Most of my work gets done in a hotel room or in the car during night drives, but this week I spent hours in a coffee shop. Ewwww. The yuck didn’t come from the coffee or the fantastic lunch I had. It came from my laptop. Gross. Who do I call to decontaminate my work space? The fluorescent lighting in the coffee shop highlighted every crumb, splotch & speck. This next Call wants your view on technology & nature (not necessarily food). Take a look…

OPEN CALL: Private Collection

Posted on June 20, 2016June 20, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

MUSHROOMS hold the pepperoni

Pepperoni rolls are all the rage in West Virginia, often attributed to a historically large Italian immigrant population. However, my food fascination during my 4 days in West Virginia this week has been morel mushrooms. Hunting large caches or collection a large number of morels is a statewide obsession as well as a part-time moneymaker for many. If you’ve never tried this meaty, intensely-flavored variety, search them out. You don’t have to make a special trip to West Virginia, your local grocer may carry them. This next Call is interested in your collection of art, not mushrooms. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Childhood

Posted on June 16, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

land of CITRUS

I was born in Florida & spent the majority of my first 5 years there. We had a grapefruit tree in our yard. But, I can’t remember having so much as a wedge of an orange to eat. I do remember drinking lots of Tang though. Odd. Was my childhood plagued by foods expertly marketed to my single father, or is my recollection just not of those specific memories? Not even a wedge? How is that possible. This next Call wants YOUR childhood images. (Oranges not required). Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Childhood
from L.A. Photo Curator

“Childhood is bursting at the seams with wonder, learning, exploration, joy, transformation, struggle, and love. So much carries a child from babyhood to spreading their wings as adults. It is, at once, so slow and so fast. So beautiful, and at times, so hard. What do you want to say about this fascinating time? We’d love to see your version of the child, from your perspective, in all its wonder or challenge.” –from curator Meredith McGrane

McGrane’s One Love Project examines mothering an only child with themes of presence, connection, and healing. Her photographs have been exhibited nationally. When not photographing, Meredith can be found putting on plays in her living room or riding her Razor scooter around the neighborhood – both with her daughter, of course.http://www.meredithmphotography.com/

CALL for ENTRIES: Trees 2016

Posted on June 15, 2016June 15, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

NUTS for one & all

Last Fall the local acorn crop failed, along with most of the hard mast. As a result, black bears suffered along with the deer, squirrels & jays; it is a primary food source in the Smokies. The bears were so hungry last year, more than 50 of them ended up at our local rescue. I am hopeful for this year’s crop. Every squirrel, chipmunk & jay that has crossed my path has done so with a green acorn in its mouth, or so it seems. Fingers crossed the trees don’t let all the little critters down this year. This next Call is also all about the trees. I like this one…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Trees 2016
from NYC4PA

–

“Trees are essential to the lifeblood of the world. Roots hold the soil so erosion is mitigated. They are home to birds, squirrels and many other of nature’s creatures. They bear fruit and in the fall the colors enhance our lives. Trees can also be looming, ominous, and, in cases of stormy weather, dangerous. They are integral to forests and jungles. They stand alone on a hillside creating lovely shadows; shade a child on a hot day; are sturdy posts to tie up the pet dog, hold a hammock off the ground. Remember the lost art of the backyard laundry line. Send us your images of trees as you experience them – forests, single trees, branches, roots.” –NYC4PA.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to any photographic process (print, image transfer, emulsion transfer, encaustic, black and white, etc.)

THEME: Trees

DEADLINE: June 19, 2016

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 3, $10 ea. add’l

CALL for ENTRIES: We Love People

Posted on June 14, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

so so many EGGS

We eat dozens & dozens of eggs each month. It would be easy to assume that when we’re out, we’d avoid them. That’s not really the case. I have them fried, over-medium, after late night outings, take them cold & hard-boiled to picnics or on early mornings. And on my recent stop at Sugar Mama’s, a little bakery/bar combo, in Knoxville, I was treated to “German Eggs”. Think of it as a fluffy egg bake or like a crustless quiche. Delicious. (Funny enough, German tourists suggested we Google “german eggs slang”. Funny.) This Call hails from Munich, but doesn’t require the inclusion of eggs. Great international show opportunity…

what a peach APRICOT

I often feel indignant about crap people are willing to eat. Yes, it’s a little judge-y. But, there are so many people worldwide without the access to healthy food, so I find myself impatient when people take it for granted. But, I digress. My husband recently enjoyed making fun of the newly-acquired fact that the only apricots I have ever eaten have been dried or a part of a sauce or jam. My husband insisted we buy a fresh apricot, and, apparently, it is on the menu as a part of my breakfast in the morning. I’m not opposed; it just hasn’t ever been a thing. There is a first for everything, right? This Call is a first for this brand new gallery. Investigate this artist-run space…

GREEN gold

I grow basil in most of the window sills in my home for just one purpose –making homemade pesto. I can’t grow much outdoors due to the bears and turkey and wild pigs (no, really). So, my windowsills stay full. I haven’t reaped much yet this year, and my stash of pesto is gone. Sad. But as I was excavating my freezer to avoid going to the grocery before dinner, I found a lone artifact– a bag of frozen basil large enough for a side dish. This next Call is interested in YOUR artifacts. Take a look…
