CALL for ENTRIES: Red 2

another shot of RED

Lamenting the end of red foods the other day, I completely forgot about rhubarb. The further South you live, the later in the season you can harvest rhubarb. It isn’t a common find at fresh markets in my area, or even at my grocer, in theory because it is a pain. It is disease resistant and hard to kill, but it requires a well-fed diet of compost and/or manure each year and SO MUCH watering. Nonetheless, I love rhubarb jam. Rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice. Simple, sweet & tart. Try it; you’ll love it. This next Call is looking for your red work, fruits & veggies are optional. Delicious…

tricky TREATS

My dog only eats dog treats at home. When she’s at the dog sitter’s house, she will only take cat treats. I don’t get it. I once had a cat that would only limp when I watched her. How odd to think that our perceived expectations alter even the behavior of our furry family. This next Call wants to know about your favorite animal friends. An opportunity with a little heart…

EGGPLANT

My kiddo just turned 16. For his birthday, he didn’t ask for pizza or burgers; he wanted Indian food. So proud. Since his palate took a huge left turn a couple of years ago, eating out with him has been a voyage of firsts. The first taste of Baingan ka Bharta (a spicy mash of eggplant & tomatoes) & Goat Korma were adorable. And hopeful. Finally I can rest knowing that I might have put another foodie out into the world that is willing to eat adventurously. This next Call could be a first opportunity for you at the first show for this gallery. Investigate…

SWEET

Chocolate is my weakness. It always has been. However, I have been on a caramel kick lately. I’ll take hard caramel in the form of brittle or single-wrapped candies, but My current love is soft, ooey gooey caramel covered in dark chocolate. I could eat my weight in the stuff. This next call doesn’t want your caramel; they want your craft–hard or soft. Take a look…

HERBS
only smaller

Niche market foods abound. Don’t you ever wonder who decided, “I want to grow lavender mint microgreens when I grow up”? But someone grows lavender mint microgreens. I used to wonder if there was a place for me in the market to make goat cheese for a living, but I have dismissed feeling like the market was too small to support my goat cheese obsession. But now the idea of raising goats and making cheese sounds like I want to be an agricultural giant by comparison to lavender mint microgreens, eh? This next Call is all about the niche market.

ALL YOLKING
aside

Your mayonnaise is a great judge of character. No, really, I haven’t lost my mind. If you’re not vegan, and you hate mayonnaise, it is probably because you’ve never had anything but the homogenized, bland, store-bought variety. Real mayonnaise, if fresh, is made of three simple ingredients: egg yolks, oil & acid. I prefer farm-fresh eggs, olive oil and lemon. The are hundreds of combinations each with their own quirks and complexities. Mayo-making is an foodie’s artisan craft, and this next Call is a celebration of fine craft from basketry to furniture and everything in between. Take a look…

RECIPE
for success

Everyone I know makes at least one dish that makes people ask, “How do you make that?” Mine has changed over the years from hollandaise sauce to creamed spinach to 40 spice hummus. Similarly, everyone who is in arts management or administration hears the same question, “How do I get a solo/group show in a gallery?” This next Call answers that question. Take a look…

NO JELLY
with my satay, please

Food has interrelation–be it natural or forced. In the US, peanut butter is only naturally related to grape jelly, but it is fantastic with raspberry jam. PB&J has a distinct meaning apart from its separate components. My immediate connection with peanut butter is peanut sauce, but my connection to PB&J is childhood comfort. Odd, eh? This next show is about the interrelation of work, one deriving meaning from the other. I like this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Northbrook Public Library (Northbrook, IL) for their annual juried show, called Social Media Artshow this year. The entry fee is reasonable. There is NO COMMISSION taken by the show promoters, and this year’s theme is an interesting twist from the norm! Don’t miss this one…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Social Media, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Social Media Artshow 2013

Art is the original social media: it reaches out and draws together, trying to make connections. It incites discussion and draws meaning through relationships. We are looking for works that are either created in a series or multiple elements (like diptychs) that generate meaning through their interrelation, or works that react to existing famous artworks. The mathematics are simple: one is quotidian and two is exponential.

ELIGIBILITY: The show is open to artists 18 years and older.

MEDIA: 2 and 3 dimensional art executed within 3 years of entry date and not previously been displayed in the library.

DEADLINE: May 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: July 31, 2013

ENTRY FEE: Entry fee is $35. Checks payable to the Northbrook Public Library. A maximum of 3 entries per artist fee will be judged.

JURY PROCESS: Artists should be cognizant that the exhibition is open to the general public & artwork must be viewable for all ages. Pieces will be judged on artistic quality & execution as well as thematic relevance. Artists should consider the theme, Social Media.

SALES & COMMISSION: The NPL does NOT charge a commission for show participation. All sales inquires will be referred to the artists. Contact information, provided by the artist, will be listed in the online and printed show catalog to facilitate sales. The only sale to be handled by the NPL will be the purchase of the first-place award winner.

AWARDS: One (1) $2000 purchase prize, one (1) second place cash award of $1000, one (1) third place cash award of $500, and two (2) Viewer’s Choice cash awards of $200.

CALL for ENTRIES: Urban

SU-SHI
or not to sushi

I used to think always equate urban settings with sushi; however, sushi can be found everywhere these days. I know of a town with a population of approximately 450, and even their local convenience store carries sushi. I may have to revert to the idea of street vendors or food trucks as urban food. Or maybe truly urban food is represented not by a specific type of food so much as a large variety of options. Hmmm. This next call wants to know how YOU define urban. Investigate this opportunity…
