CALL for ENTRIES: Tiny Monsters

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Tiny Monsters exhibit from the FE Gallery in Sacramento, CA! gooseBERRIES

Pineapples are showing up in mass at every grocer right now.  I can’t eat enough to take advantage of the availability, so I was contemplating making jelly or jam.  As you may know, pineapple fights the jelling process, so you have to use nearly twice as much pectin to make it work –which defeats the purpose of buying on sale.  Maybe I can freeze the cleaned pineapple and wait for gooseberries come into season.  These little treasures have huge amounts of pectin and can be made into jelly without ANY additional pectin.  This next Call wants your little treasures, but they must be monstrous…

I am what I am, and this week, I am a spinach lover.  To be honest, I am a spinach lover every week, but this week I have had spinach quiche & spinach salad without a wilted leaf to be seen.  Because of the popularity of aquaponics and the number of artisan growers in my area, every day is spinach season for me (happy dance), but this next Call just has a few more days left.  Don’t miss this deadline…

Peanut butter & jam used to be my go-to comfort food, back before wheat allergies took my family down with a thud.  So I’ve been trying out abstractions of the PB&J.  Peanuts & raisins, dried cranberries & sunflower seeds, and my favorite, pumpkin seeds and raspberries.  It is the same comfort, but without the structure.  I’m a fan.  This next Call wants to test your comfort with abstraction.  Take a look…

“I build my works with a sense of fragmentation . . . a metaphor of daily life.” —Maria Santacecilia

•

I have buttons from everywhere. I have collected them for no reason for years and years.  And just yesterday, I met an artist yesterday that makes button bracelets as a fundraising source for a non-profit that provides showers and laundry facilities for homeless women.  Today, I came across this drawing by today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Maria Santacecilia, and as a musician, it spoke to me.  Then I saw the buttons, those things that hold everything together. Lovely.

You can always find chickpeas in my cabinet.  Be they canned or dried, they are a go-to item that has so many uses –from toasted finger food in the spring, to protein-rich soups in winter.  Then there’s hummus, of which I never tire.  Chickpeas even make a tasty addition to sweet-infused trail mix. I appreciate the versatility.  This next Call awards artists from a wide variety of media.  And what’s more versatile than a cash award?  Nothing.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: 2 Elizabeths

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Cover Art wanted by 2 Elizabeths magazine!the MISSING middle

I enjoy creative process.  I find it meditative.  My own visual work requires lots of repetition.  I like to knit.  More repetition.  I have a handful of favorite recipes. Even more repetition.  As a result, I often end up in looping rut of repetition.  In the kitchen, I break the sameness by trying a recipe outside my comfort zone. (Today gumbo, tomorrow doughnuts;)  When working visually, I find a themed Call that dictates the inspiration not only helps me start a new piece, but it sometimes marks the beginning of a whole new direction.  This Call is a paying opportunity too, which I appreciate albeit meager.  Maybe it is right for you…

Recipes are sort of like guide books for me.  I have no interest in doing exactly what they say, but they are a great jumping-off point.  There are exceptions, thousands of them.  See “baking”.  Baking is a science.  Baklava, croissant, sourdough, layer cakes–making them is either complicated or at the very least time-consuming, but the pay off is HUGE.  This next Call is like that.  There are a LOT of details, so read the prospectus in full, but the pay of is huge.  First prize is $120,000, and it isn’t limited to representational work.  Take a look at this one…

Learn more about the Seeing Blue exhibit from Art-competition.net!unpopped CORN

Sleep is not my friend.  As a lifelong insomniac, and I have tried EVERY remedy –prescription, herbal, oils, sounds, aroma.  Lack of sleep promotes depression. For me, depression often takes the form of extended weeks or months of “the blues” marked by an remarkable lethargy and a sort of emotional paralysis.  It is more common in winter, so I am actively combating insomnia every February.  This year, I am having moderate success by not snacking late at night (my apologies to the massive hit sustained by the popcorn industry) & getting half an hour of moderate exercise each morning.  Creativity is the ultimate therapy & this next Call is a great chance to work out some pent up “blues”.  Investigate….
