NOT CORN

What’s behind the naming of state foods?  The obvious answer is that it honors a crop vital to a state’s economy and/or identity, right?  Wisconsin has milk. Florida has oranges.  And so on.  But what about the dozen or so U.S. states that does not claim a state food.  Iowa has a state rock (the geode) but no state food.  If you have any idea why, I’d love to know.  In the meantime, here’s a Call from an arts organization that Iowa should be proud to claim.  Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from Octagon Center for the Arts (Ames, IA) for the 47th Clay, Fiber, Paper, Glass, Metal, Wood National Exhibition.  This all media show has a great juror.  Take a look…

FOOD

I never thought about what astronauts ate when I was little, but I was disturbed that all they had to drink was Tang–or so I thought, ha.  Gone are the days of strictly canned or freeze-dried foods in space.  Now, those travelers have fresh fruits, vegetables and even waffles and scones.  But, I think being faced with irradiated meat might make me a vegetarian in short order.  This next Call contemplates the entirety of the cosmos, not just the menu.  Investigate!

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Cosmos: imagining the universe.  Gorgeous space, fantastic jurors & great art, time and time again, only $25 for entry.  Take a look…

Cosmos

 

This exhibit invites artists to envision the mysteries of the universe, both scientific and fantastical, theoretical and fictional, real and imagined.  How do artists render the work of scientists, authors, explorers, astronomers, cartoonists, Trekkies, LARPers, astrologers, and philosophers? This exhibit embraces not only what science has revealed about space, but what humans have imagined about the cosmos.  From the results of scientific inquiry to the creative minds of science fiction authors and fans, this exhibit celebrates how space has stimulated human understanding and creativity.  From the big bang theory to worm holes and warp speed, artists are invited to submit works that bring to life what we know of space and what we imagine.  The goal is to assemble a vibrant and diverse selection of works that speak to our fascination with the cosmos.  –from prospectus
