rainbow ‘MATERS

Yellow tomatoes abound at my grocer. For some reason, my options are limited to uber-sweet cherry tomatoes, rock-hard-Brazilian-hot-house slicing reds or romas, trendy-but-mealy brown and entirely-too-sweet yellow tomatoes. I like my tomatoes super acidic and red or tart, green and fried. I know it takes all kinds, but I am looking for just one specific color of the rainbow. This Call is looking for any and all of the colors. Pick your favorite(s)…

girly GREENS

The girls-eat-salad debate continues. Stock photography makes it appear that women can barely nibble a leaf without laughing. Men in movie bars disparage women who eat salads for their sexier steak-eating counterparts. Body-shamers think women should only eat salad while movie intellectuals think kale salad is for silly hipsters. I am uncertain how gender really applies to food. I only know that after a weeks on the road, there is little better than hand-torn greens and back yard veggies from the farmers’ market topped with a homemade dress. My husband agrees. And while salad may not be all about the girls, this Call is. Take a look…

always GREENER

Grass won’t grow in my yard. There are too many trees, too much shade & too much moisture. But on the mountain slope behind my house there is a beautiful sunny spot that grows clover like a cash crop. Have you eaten clover? Oh my. Of course you can make tea, but try them pan fried and crispy (just the blossom). The spring crop is so delicious that I have dreams about those little blossoms. This next Call would take clover too.

clean your PLATE

Eating is a roving action at my house. Sometimes breakfast is consumed at the kitchen counter. Lunch often ends up as a living room picnic. If I’m lucky, dinner is eaten at the kitchen table twice per week, and it isn’t because I love eating on the go. The reality is, my tabletop is generally covered by paperwork that should be on my desk or art that should be in my studio space or music equipment undergoing cleaning or repair. Tonight it holds a prom tuxedo (don’t ask). I need a more functional tabletop landscape –just like this next call. The deadline is rapidly approaching…

soup to BEANS

It is all a matter of taste, right? I know that for every food there is someone who believes its tastes better than all other foods, but I still can’t quite resolve myself to the notion that some foods aren’t just objectively bad. Warhol is famous for, among other things, depictions of a soup. That same soup is the foundation for thousands of green bean casserole recipes. SOMEone believes it to be “Mmm mmm good”, but I am not one of the some. I don’t have a lot of food limits, aside from Century eggs and boiled okra, but just no. It is a black and white issue for me –just like this next Call. Investigate this opportunity…

It is the only time of the year when onions become a main dish in our house. They are easy, inexpensive, available seemingly everywhere and very simple to grow. Sometimes easy is good. This next Call is easy. Email your work, pay the fee and possible get a HUGE, easy going kind of return on your investment. DEADLINE IS SUNDAY…

CALL to ARTISTS: Moving Forward

HUNGRY? me too

Because we live 20+ minutes to the closest grocery store, it can be very frustrating to start dinner and realize we’re out of onions or potatoes or eggs or whatever. So, we are all about menu planning at our house. This next Call is about planning as well, but it requires your input, your participation. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from AAAD for 2016-17 Planning & Progress. We have a lot going on, and I need your guidance an input to make sure that AAAD heads in a direction that works for all of us. I even formatted it like our normal calls to be certain that I don’t shake up the routine too much, ha. Keep reading…

CALL to ARTISTS:
Moving Forward from AAAD

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists. You may notice that we have eliminated the Featured Artist program in an effort to publish more of the ART in our name, Art & Art Deadlines. If you have an interest in being an Artist of the Day, we want to hear from you! Look in the juror section for an add’l bonus!

MEDIA: Are we including all the media Calls you want? Am I missing something? Am I under-representing your media? Please tell me. I largely post at the request of jurors and gallerists, so sometimes I unintentionally wear blinders.

DEADLINE: April 18, 2016. AAAD has a #smallworks (9×12 or smaller) Call out with an April 18th deadline, SMALL PLATES: A Response to Hunger. $5 Entry & open to prints. Please enter so that we can provide more show opportunities in the future!

NOTIFICATION: Now. Tell me what you need from AAAD. We have incorporated a lot of changes over the years based on readers’ suggestions. And, I am open to more. The site will undergo some dramatic aesthetic changes and alterations to the formatting of posts and subscriptions, and you can help shape that process. The resources will remain the same, and you’re simply stuck with the food references. But, I’m open to hearing you. Email me, leave a comment on the post (link to comments at top) or reply to your subscription email. Any way you wanna…

FEE: None. I am maintaining my commitment to NOT charge artists for use of this site. Ever.

JUROR: R.L. (Rachel) Gibson, continues to be the Editor. Me. Publication has been a bit sporadic lately because of events that left my family stranded in rural Virginia for a while. Dramatic, I know. I try not to publish personal posts often. But you were so kind when I lost my father a few years ago, that I thought I would share. Here’s the whole #saveERNIE story. So many of you ask me if there is anything you can do to help out at AAAD. There is. Instead of paying a $5 Artist of the Day fee or the $15 Artist to Love fee, donate $10 to #saveERNIE, I will enter you for FREE in both the Artist of the Day competition & Artist to Love directory. Plus, you have a chance to win a house concert. Time runs out Monday, August 18th, so hurry.

SALES: Selling art? Yes? YEAH! No? Maybe I can help. I will be travelling the country this summer giving career development seminars at Arts agencies and collectives. If you have a ideas for someone that I should approach with seminars, including “How to Price Your Art”, “Creative Branding” & more, let me know.

AWARDS: Brownie points. I have millions of “brownie points” up for grabs. You know you want them. It is easy to get them. Choose from one or ALL of these methods:

Subscribe to our FREE email (top right sidebar)
Like Us on Facebook. Subscribe to Notification for double points.
Follow us on Twitter. Regularly RT for triple points
Talk to that one friend that needs motivation about subscribing to AAAD. We need friends.
Send me your success stories by email or comment. I need motivation too. 🙂

Thanks for the love.

LEFTOVERS rock

We intentionally create leftovers by overcooking dinner so that we have a few easy options for lunch on hand. But, left over veggies that didn’t get fully used in salads or stir frys become the best fillings for spring rolls. We’re a little addicted. Have I mentioned that rice paper is my newest obsession? As much as I appreciate their function, I’ll admit that how little room they take up in the pantry and the fact that they seemingly never expire may very well make them the perfect bread replacement. Yum. This next call wants your paper, but it doesn’t have to be rice paper…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Retrieval

Posted on April 8, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

the STOMACH knows

Beautiful food is enticing. Culinary schools offer classes that teach presentation for a reason. But ugly food has its place. I had lunch with a friend yesterday; she insisted I pick the restaurant. I chose Indian food only to discover she had never eaten Indian food. I felt the need to warn her that the food was delicious, but ugly. Maybe ugly is a little too strong. It looks a bit like mud on rice, but the stomach doesn’t care what food looks like.. This next call isn’t muddy, it wants to see all that is beautiful. Take a look…

Popcorn is now complicated. I used to enjoy it from the theatre or from the microwave. But in the continuing effort to eat real food, my husband now insists on popping it from the kernel on top of the stove. We ran out two days ago, and after briefly considering experimenting with the .gif suggesting you can pop it on the cob in your microwave (don’t do this, btw), we opted for a bag of microwaveable popcorn left from a recent hotel stay. Just no. Because Styrofoam, no. The next Call is Popped, sort of, & they don’t want Styrofoam either. Deadline is NOW…
