CALL for ENTRIES: Heroes & Villians

FOR LOVING YOU

Something borrowed, something new; something green, something like glue. If I am married to food, the heroes & villians in our relationship are well-defined. Despite my best efforts, potatoes continue to fight against me in the form of chips, fries & luscious, comforting soup. They aren’t inherently evil, but they do have a tendency to lean toward the dark side of gluttony for me. The heroes, conversely, tend to be green & roasted–fresh Brussels sprouts, snap beans & crowns of broccoli. As I continue to fight the good fight, here’s a great Call that will allow you to fight your own battles. LOVE this venue…

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Heroes & Villians. $25 entry, epic jurors & great art, time & time again. Take a look…

Heroes & Villians

As an artist, where do you find inspiration? In the protagonist or the antagonist, or in the many shades of gray in between? Do historical figures fascinate you, or do you turn to fictional characters for your subject matter? Whether you look to history books or comic books, or your own fantastical imagination, this exhibit welcomes artists that explore the complexities and nuances of heroes and villains.”

WATER
hold the bottle

I have never been a water drinker. I prefer cold-brewed, black tea–decaf, no ice. But, I do force myself to drink a few glasses a day. But I never cease to be amazed by the bizarre marketing methods used to sell water to us at a premium. You can buy water from melted icebergs, from springs at the base of Mt. Figi & even from the demilitarized zone between North & South Korea. This next Call leaves the source of your water to you. Take a look…

Posted on February 6, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

THAI
me up

Cookbook authors have my number. Make the food look fantastic on the cover, and I’ll buy it. Yes, I judge books (some books) by their covers. I recent bought quick & easy thai.

Sometimes is just WORKS…

BREAKFAST

Gender rolls are “squishy” at my house. My husband does most of the cooking. I am the disciplinarian. Even our mail comes bizarrely addressed since I didn’t take his last name. It works for us.

on a ROLL

Stuffed cabbage is a recipe that takes me back to my childhood. My grandmother had such a talent for making perfect little rolls. I wish I had paid better attention to how she did that because I struggle to make them presentable. Imagine my delight when I found a recipe for Deconstructed Stuffed Cabbage. So excited to try this one. In the meantime, this next Call is all about the CONstructed not the DEconstructed. Loving this theme…

my
BLACK BEAN
habit

Ethnic grocery stores are gateway habits for foodies. My favorite Cuban cookbook led me to my local Hispanic grocery in search of ingredients for authentic congri, and I came home with products I cannot pronounce and for which I have no use. So exciting. I appreciate being introduced to new food organically, so to speak. *snicker* This Gallery discovers artists for future shows from entries to open calls like this one. Organically…

CALL for Entries: Still Life / Life Still

Posted on January 30, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

ATE hours later

Cooking has moved into slow motion in my house. As much as I want to hurry Spring along, I am reminded of our current Winter status by the icy wind that greets me at my front door each morning. So, my slow cooker lives in a perpetual circuit from counter to refrigerator to sink to counter to refrigerator to sink–almost daily. Tonight is lentil soup with bacon. This next Call wants to see what happens when life stills completely. An intriguing take on a traditional form…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Still Life / Life Still. They always have a low entry fee ($24) & a great juror. This theme leaves room for the traditionalist as well as those with a vastly different point of view. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Still Life / Life Still

The study of inanimate objects; subject matter, placement and compositional balance imply meaning that surmount everyday functionality. Historically, a still life composition is an array of commonplace objects, inert and set in space. These objects often include natural components such as plants, fruits, vegetables, nuts, flowers accompanied by man made objects like dishes, boxes, mirrors and vases within an interior setting at eye level like a table top. Darkroom Gallery wants to contextually explore the Still Life; some may take a traditional approach. Others may see Still Life/Life Still as a vehicle to explore new artistic possibilities, in form, function or to convey political or emotive meanings. Objects caught in their natural surroundings & documented on the fly can make just as poignant an image, i.e., Life Still. — from darkroomgallery.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography (line-themed)

DEADLINE: February 18, 2015

NOTIFICATION: February 23, 2015

She is now based in Tokyo and also a co-funder and curator for the Reminders Photography Stronghold.

The height of the foodie season is Summer thanks to all that beautiful fresh local produce. But I frequently find myself jumping the gun” and convincing something in early Spring is Summer-worthy.

ALL GREEN

Cilantro is a polarizing subject in my family. It is all black and white–absolutely no gray area. For more than 1/2 of my extended family, cilantro is nausea-inducing at the mere thought. I, however, cannot imagine life without tomatillo & cilantro salsa. (It contains nearly equal parts of each.) I try not to judge them. When I was younger, I always thought ginger tasted the same as I imagine lemon-scented furniture polish might taste. Now I love it on nearly anything. This next Call is an excellent reason to see all of the world in black and white. You be the judge…
