CALL for ART: Gifts of Art

Posted on May 14, 2018May 14, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

one EGG or two?

Simplicity can be a gift. Sometimes what I want to eat has less to do with a craving and more to do with the ease of preparation. When I’ve had a productive day, a drawn-out night of cooking weighs me down. Sometimes an egg sandwich is just an egg sandwich; sometimes an egg sandwich is a gift. This next Call see the transformative effect of art on our reparative health as a gift. Take a look…

CALL for PROPOSALS: Curatorial 2019

Posted on November 28, 2016November 28, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

NUTTY bravery

Sometimes you just have to jump in and try. Wary of a new food? Hold your nose and stick out your tongue–it just takes a few seconds of bravery. This is how I learned that I hate pistachios and love goat cheese. By trying them. This Call will be the same idea for many of you. Fifteen dollars, five images and a clear vision of your project in written form. That’s all it takes. Maybe it is time to take the leap from local shows to national shows, from national to international shows, from juried to self-curated. You can do it. I know you can. If you need help, message me. Believe in you; I do…

CALL for ENTRIES: Still Life

Posted on October 28, 2016October 29, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

goin’ BANANAS

The landscape of my kitchen counter is changing. My day is incomplete without fresh fruit. While the happy dance of the clementines begins soon, it is otherwise just the banana bunny hop for most of the winter. I find that most in-season winter produce is either not finger food (cranberries, pomegranates) and/or expensive (guava, kumquat, kiwi). So clementines & bananas still life it will be. This next Call invites you to create your own still life. Orange you glad? (sorry)

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net for Still Life. $20 entry plus no shipping. Take a look…

CALL for PROPOSALS: Solo Show Opportunity

Posted on July 6, 2015July 6, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

DINNER FOR ONE
and one alone

I don’t share well. I don’t share anything well, but food is the worst. I am not proud of it. Maybe it is an only child thing. I can logically know that a dish will be too much for me, but I will still not agree to share instead. If I agree to a lets-get-one-of-each-and-share deal, we have to quite literally cut them in half upon arrival & exchange the halves. Otherwise I spend the meal obsessing about whether or not my husband will eat more than his half. I fall short of counting french fries–but just barely. So, my submission to this next Call will likely be a solo one (although my better self sometimes triumphs); however, you are welcome to contemplate sharing. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Red

Posted on July 5, 2015July 5, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

blush

Red is undeniably my favorite color. I find myself drawn to red tones in food, from salmon to cherry Jell-o, Bloody Mary’s to pomegranates. Go figure. But recently I tripped across golden raspberries. How had I missed them all these years? They are slightly sweeter & milder than the traditional red variety, and I am willing to admit that I like them better in some instances. I feel like such a traitor. The next Call is the perfect red celebration. I like this group exhibit…

Posted on September 5, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

will you
DELIVER?
really? wow!

I love eating in a small town because I have learned that it means I can more easily know and appreciate my connections to my food. However, as I sit and write from a hotel room in a city with a population of almost 7,000 (twice the size of my hometown), I realize that many additional options a little boost in size can afford. This next Call is looking for your views on the cityy–good OR bad.

DRIZZLE

My new ace-in-the-whole dish is for last minute parties and desserts is anything topped with chocolate glaze. 3/4 cup of dark chocolate chips melted with 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil. From cheesecake to strawberries, it works on everything. Warm, it is like velvet. Cold, it is a beautiful shell. Here’s hoping everything turns up aces for you with this next Call.

This next Call is all about the Firehouse and nothing about the chili, although it does take ANY MEDIA. Take a look…

girly CITRUS

I took French as my foreign language in high school. In hindsight, Spanish would have been more useful, but French turned out to be handy when my love of food emerged. I am enamored with the use of feminine and masculine nouns. Did you know that un chocolat is masculine while une orangina is feminine? Orange you glad I’m publishing this next call? Bad, I know. Forgive me…

Check out this Call for Entries for (Re)capturing Womanhood at Southern Illinois University (Carbondale, IL) then traveling, brought to you by curators Angela J. Aguayo and Stacy Jill Calvert.
