CALL for ENTRIES: 2019 Miami Art Basel Edition

Learn more about the 2019 Miami Art Basel Edition from Create! Magazine.

fair FARE

When’s the last time you ate a candied apple?  I haven’t had one in a while either.  Every year I am tempted at the Tennessee Valley Fair to at least have a caramel apple, but I chicken out every time.  I mean, I’m not afraid of the sugar-draped fruit, but it seem like a commitment.  It’s not like I can eat it with a knife and fork in deliberate portions; you have to sink into it teeth first, knowing you may end up wearing it face, fingers, clothing and all.  I’m not ready.

This next call is a worthy pursuit on its own, but it is also a measured solution to the art fair.  When’s the last time you contemplated participating in an art fair like Art Basel?  One option is to venture out on your own, which can be very expensive & risky if you aren’t in the right place for that opportunity.  Another possibility is going as a part of a group or gallery, which still involves costly production like framing and shipping with no guarantee of sales.  If you’re not ready for either of those options, this call from Create! Magazine gives you an opportunity to reach the Miami art week audience without the commitment to a booth.  Their curatorial history proves you’ll be in excellent company.  Think about it.

Check out this Call for Entries from Create! Magazine (print publication) for the Miami Art Basel Edition.  The 3rd Annual Art Miami Edition will be released during 2019 Miami Art Week in December, available in international shop locations & during VIP preview night at Art Miami Fairs.  Don’t miss this chance…

COLD complication

The school year returns soon.  Many of you know I have a kid in college, so his impending exit will mark a change in my house like so many of you with students.  My grocery bill will shrink, and his eating habits will change.  At home, my son eats whatever is put in front of him.  At school, he can choose to fuel himself on pizza and coffee 6 out of 7 days.  I choose to believe not, but a quick glance at the bucks he spends on ‘bucks reveals the ugly truth… his degree will be sugar & caffeine-fueled.

What gets you through a work day?  Do you have a routine or a vice?  Is there a difference, or is the label just a way to guilt yourself into less-frequent indulgence?  After a hard day in the studio recently, I picked up my keys and headed out, making a quick pitstop in my husband’s studio to let him know I was going.  “I’m headed to the liquor store.  Want anything?” I asked.  “Day that good, huh?”  *blink blink blink* “How about I work on dinner while you’re gone?”  Smart man.  This next Call is for those of you whose memory of late night projects & exam cramming are still directly behind you.  

It is no secret that this is one of my all time favorite art publications.  Check out this Call for Entries from Create! Magazine (print publication) for the 2019 MFA Print Edition.  $30 entry for this gorgeous magazine.  Don’t miss this chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Summer 2019 Print Issue

COLD complication

For years, popcorn was the ultimate summer food.  Popcorn with a hint of olive oil, parmesan and cracked black pepper was my idea of the perfect snack food. Then, there was some weird shift for me.  Stovetop popped was too greasy.  Microwave-popped was always singed.  Air-popped was always tough.  I just quit eating it — for nearly two years.  I missed my daily snack favorite, but was resigned to the absence of popcorn. 

Then one day Facebook started feeding me ads for an Amazon listing a silicone popcorn popper (not a sponsored ad) for the microwave.  I’m guessing I did something online that Google’s algorithm decided meant I needed popcorn, and, well, it was right.  That $10 product arrived, and it was ridiculous, a floppy, ridiculous concept.  It came without instructions.  I searched and found an equally ridiculous video. Holy popcorn!  It is soft like stove-topped but without that queasy overly greasy aftertaste.  So what’s the lesson?  No lesson, except maybe… all hail Summer.  

Continuing with this week’s publication theme, here’s a call for one of my all time favorite art publications.  Check out this Call for Entries from Create! Magazine (print publication) for the Summer 2019 Print Issue.  $30 entry for this gorgeous magazine.  Don’t miss this chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Arte Natura 2019

Learn more about the Art Natura exhibit from the Limner Gallery!

lost in TRANSLATION

What you do if your grocery option were cut by 90%?  I recently read an article about the single largest threat to independent or regional grocers being small-box discount stores like Dollar General, Family Dollar & Dollar Tree.  If you groceries could only come from one of these sources, can you imagine never eating fresh meat or vegetables again?  Virtually every food you would consume would be pre-processed, significantly so.  Nothing you ate would be as it exists in nature or even one step removed.  My mind is really blown by that idea.  It scares me.  It that scenario, I would have to put my own health into the hands of the food processing industry.  How does that sit with you?  Yeah, me neither.

I live less than 5 miles from a regional grocer and another 10-15 miles from large-box retailers like Kroger, Publix, Walmart & Aldi.  As much as I would like to buy local, my local grocer doesn’t make stock decision or employ pricing policies that allow me to make the best menu or the best financial decisions.  Currently, Aldi gets the bulk of my formal grocery dollars.  I want to make foods based on fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood & diary –as close as I can find to their natural form as possible.  If I eat poorly, I want it to be by my choice.

A similar desire prompted by media change.  I wanted to work using supplies and/or products that I could find easily, or make myself if necessary.  At the time, I was contemplating significant rural travel that would have made art supply deliveries less convenient. I’ve always been a closet painter, but always acrylics.  Acrylics led me down the path to acrylic mediums, and then my supply load quadrupled.  I slowly made my way to watercolor.  Purchased paints last long periods & arrive in compact containers.  I can make both paints & paper with very few supplies if necessary. Finished work can be stored flat, pressed.  Small amounts of water can be found anywhere.  It took me a long time to commit, but I’m here and I’m in love, naturally.

This next Call in interested in seeing your nature-oriented work.  What do you have to show in this well-established gallery?  Take your time, research the history of this show & venue and the curatorial choices that have shaped this space.  Could this be a good fit for you?  Check out this Call for Entries from Slow Art Productions for Arte Natura 2019 at the Limner Gallery (Hudson, NY). $35 entry open to all media and all artists.  Take a look…

WATER you up to?

It feels like it has been raining forever and may just never stop. Ever. I’ve never had a green thumb, but my grandmother tried to teach me the basic.  I remember almost nothing she taught me except leaves turn yellow when you over water, and nothing is more exciting than the burst of the seed pod of a touch-me-not.  So, while I can grow herbs on a windowsill, my dream of having a sustainable farming endeavor is a lost cause.  But many of my friends are out there trying only to eat what they grow.

Realistically what do you grow end the land of never ending rain?  Apparently taro thrives even in water logged conditions for up to weeks at a time.  I could live on taro chips, right?  Maybe not. Luckily I can still canoe to my local grocer.  The rain is also making me hyperbolic, ha.  I could paint the rain, I suppose, or gather rainwater to feed my watercolors for this next landscape call.  I then I could use the prize money to buy aquaponic supplies.

CALL for ENTRIES: Women Artists

COLD complication

As winter approaches, I am more & more distracted.  I buy a handful of pantry items for single recipes.  For example, I use canned cream-style corn in one indulgent corn pudding recipe and buttermilk only in cornbread.  But, the problem arises because they look like similar items in the cupboard –anything canned or my regular milk.  You only have to put buttermilk on one bowl of cereal to not want to make that mistake again.  My solution? Organization. A simple letter or two scrawled on the container top has stopped me from wasting time and food over and over again. 

In the studio, I am always walking the line between organized and over-planned.  My instincts run toward scheduling, pre-planning, color-coding and efficiency.  But, I also know that when I over plan, I have guilt when I stray from my original design that sometime keeps me on a path (that often isn’t really working) longer than I should.  But if I don’t schedule at all, I end up procrastinating, the stereotypical downfall of beret-wearing artists in movies everywhere.  This next Call is a perfect example.  I love this publication.  It is gorgeous.  The art is phenomenal. Even their Insta feed is fun and inspiring.  I keep thinking that the right work to submit will speak to me.  As a result, here we are a year or two later, I’ve managed not to enter yet.  So, let’s make a plan, be organized; enter early…

CALL for ENTRIES: New Contemporary

real SMOOTH

I have pureed everything today.  I made black bean soufflé early in the day to go with the slaw-topped taco my husband made later.  I cooked & pureed extra beans to put up in the freezer as a soup base for next week.  Lunch was delivery pizza.  Our mid-afternoon snack was  a mango-peach-guava-banana smoothie.  While my husband made apple-pepper slaw for our tacos, I processed a half-bushel of apples for applesauce.  I have washed my food processor four times today. (Just a reminder, no dishwasher in my house.) I am trying to keep busy

I mean, I did finish framing a commission while I am waiting for THREE past-due notifications. I need mindless busy. How do venues take our money and not notify on time? Why not just under-promise? Why not five themselves and extra week then surprise us all with an early notification? Of course, my imagination and insecurities ramp up to a 14 & I begin to assume that I haven’t gotten an email because I have been rejected, or,  that I was so bad that I didn’t warrant a response. When left with too much time to dwell on it, I start to become paranoid like an 1990s sitcom and wonder if my phone is working or if email is out-of-order. Ridiculous. So, soufflé, soup, smoothie & applesauce.  Noisy. Delicious. Busy. 

This next Call is screaming my name.  I’ve not been interested in a lot of galleries lately because I am looking to build a very specific profile for my resume.  I am trying to patiently wait for the academic & publicly funded shows I really want.  But I am digging this space.  There are a number of great art hot spots in New Mexico, like Satan Fe.  In fact, New Mexico is on my new short list of relocation possibilities.  This gallery supports a reassuringly diverse art aesthetic and range of media.  I like the unapologetic nature of this Call too.  I’m hoping to get my crap together & enter.  Let me know how it sounds to YOU.

Check out this Call for Entries from Keep Contemporary (Santa Fe, NM) for New Contemporary.  This is a great looking venue that also includes “….artists who have a limited voice in an otherwise conservative art market”.   I want to show here; how about you?
