FEED ME
please
Why NOT food? Yes, it is that time of year again. I’ve received more hate mail from artists that think this blog would be far more effective if I would just quit talking about food. The last time this happened, I actually added “a food-themed art blog” to the header. To be honest, the half-dozen hate mail emails I get a year don’t really bother me. But, I am always amazed at how much anger people can muster for the most insignificant issues. This next call is equally obsessed with food. I am in good company…
Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Feast your Eyes. Fantastic space, great curatorial vision & always prestigious company. Take a look…

Food can be more than sustenance; food can be a passion, an entertaining and delicious escape, a comfort, or an obsession. Food is vital to our lives and is certainly at the heart of every celebration. Food is the subject of endless books, news reports, scientific studies, social media posts, and conversations. We are deeply interested in its sustainability, production, processing, distribution, scarcity, quantity, quality, composition, and price. This show invites artists to explore these and other food-related issues, from the profound to the ridiculous. –from prospectus
