I miss Spring, and it is October.  I miss the flowers.  Well, I miss the dogwoods in particular.  Did you know that in addition to being lovely to look at, that there are species of dogwood trees that bear fruit?  There are even varieties whose wood is lovely for smoking meats and vegetables.  And then there’s the art.  Yep, where I live, dogwoods are accompanied by art–like the art in this next Call.  Take a look…

or me

The only thing missing from California cuisine is butter.  It is characterized by local, fresh ingredients and foods low in saturated fats and high in fresh vegetables and fruits with lean meats and seafood from the California coast with special attention paid to presentation–delicious & beautiful.  But why leave out the butter?  And, if it is from local, grass-fed cows, even better.  Can’t we just learn to play well with others?  The prize for this next Call hails from the land of California cuisine.  Is this opportunity the one for you?

I am trying to curb my collecting of all things culinary.  I moved to a smaller house to purposefully downsize in preparation for building a smaller sustainable green home in which I hope to live the rest of my life.  Passing up vintage deviled egg plates and a new pate knife pattern has reminded me that there is a reward to self restraint.  One of the rewards…I can afford to collect more art, ha. This next Call is really ALL about the collectors.  Here’s hoping they collect YOUR art…

Here’s an interesting Call for Entries from the Sylvia White Gallery (Ventura, CA) for the 2014 Collectors’ Choice.  This could be your last chance to show in this space without being one of their represented artists. Investigate for your self…

2014 Collectors’ Choice

 

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Paintings, mixed media, works on paper, photography, sculpture, installation, digital, video and performance.

DEADLINE: March 1, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $35 (USD) for 3 images, $5 each additional image, maximum 10.

Learn more about the Sylvia White Gallery!JURORS: Each art collector may select one or more pieces by artists that are not currently represented in their private collection. Collectors’ names will be kept anonymous until the opening reception. Editor’s Note: My assumption is these are collectors that purchase work in the Sylvia White Gallery. Because they are anonymous, the best recommendation I have for research is to spend some time investigate the artists the gallery represents, since in theory, it is their work these collectors are purchasing–at least in part.

AWARDS: Selected artists will participate in 2014 Collector’s Choice exhibit April 23rd to May 24th, 2014 at Sylvia White Gallery.

SALES: Unless otherwise specified, accepted works will be considered for sale at the price indicated and 40% commission will be retained by The Sylvia White Gallery.

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…

PLEASE

I’ve had a few jobs and a few careers.  One that I loved more than most was as a Downtown Development Director.  I believed in the tiny town; I believe in urban renewal in rural locations (pop. 3500).  Alas, my time there was shortened to a mere 3 years.  I’ve never admitted this before, but part of my impatience with the development process was my inability to attract new, exciting food opportunities.  Really.  This next Call is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of making ART the answer.  Please investigate this FANTASTIC opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Gallery Aferro (Newark, NJ) and RBH Group for Activate: Market Street.  This is a very inexpensive ($5 US) opportunity to truly get public art exposure.  So cool…

of food

I have drafted a dozen cookbooks in my head.  They are usually inspired by whatever food eccentricity I am dwelling on at the moment.  But they always have their roots in momentary excitement as opposed to being deep-rooted in a true philosophy about food.  Maybe if I ever find myself, a cookbook will make it out of the draft stage.  In the meantime, my roots will have to be of the vegetable variety.  This next Call want to explore YOUR feelings on roots, or the lack thereof…

Check out this Call for Entries from DRAFTspace (NY, NY) for Rootlessness, a two-part themed exhibit.  Selected artists will exhibit their solo exhibitions in the street-level pop-up space on Manhattan’s vibrant Lower East Side gallery district.  This is a great chance for that New York opening you’ve always wanted…

The exhibition series will consist of two sections – Works on Paper and Works on Space – and one exhibition proposal for each section will be chosen and realized on New York’s Lower East Side.

NY has historically been home to ethnically diverse immigrants, inspiring feelings and experiences related to migration, temporality, transformation, assimilation, or conflict.  DRAFTspace is hosting this exhibition series to provoke attention and discussion about this sense of rootlessness.  Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme creatively.

The theme of rootlessness is connected to the unique space setup and location. The exhibit will not be held in a permanent gallery space.  Instead, it will temporarily occupy a street-level vacant retail space that will be consecutively transformed to fit the different identity and characteristics of each exhibition.

Learn more about the Rootlessness Exhibits!

The Lower East Side where this event will take place has long been an immigrant neighborhood and has seen a series of immigrant communities pass through it.  The area has undergone gentrification, starting in the mid-2000s and has since become home to upscale boutiques and numerous contemporary art galleries.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists

MEDIA:  Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Photography, or Illustration for “Works on Paper” section OR Sculpture or Site-Specific Mixed Media Installations for “Works on Space” section

DEADLINE:  August 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION:  September 15, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $40 per entry for up to 10 images

AWARDS:  $500 Cash Prize & Solo Exhibition.  The artist of each selected proposal will receive a $500 cash prize and his or her solo exhibition proposal will be realized.

In the ongoing saga of kitchen creativity, my most recent attempt at mint chocolate chip went a little off course.  Who new 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract would be too much in 1 1/2 quarts of ice cream.  Just trust me on this one.  I suppose this was a drawback to complete kitchen freedom, ha.  May this next Call for creative freedom be more successful for you than my mint ice cream experiment.  It isn’t just for filmmakers…

Mono No Aware 2013

 

Film & video have become easily accessible. One can watch content on a website, television, a home projector, or even a cell phone. For some artists and filmmakers those vehicles are copies of the original artwork, each one degraded by its format. MNA believes there is a magic in seeing the film projected as a print.  There is a presence a poet has reading his/her own writing.  There is a feeling that resonates in your chest when seeing a band live.  For these reasons MNA encourages live music, performance and audio to expand the cinematic experience beyond the screen.  MNA asks that in the spirit of the festival you not video or create copies of your performance.  Some participants have gone as far as to destroy the work after its first run at the event.
