CALL for ENTRIES: Urban

Posted on December 21, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

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…

Check out this Call to Artists for Urban from the Linus Galleries (California). The exhibit offers an online listing as well as the possibility for a showing in one of their brick and mortar galleries. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Embracing our Differences

Posted on September 5, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

TABLE
for 40?

I do not understand the over-size food craze. I occasionally watch Man vs. Food, and each time I wonder, “Will he ever want to eat that again?” Why would anyone order a 7lb burger, 5 gallons of ice cream or 4 lbs of pancakes unless they were having a party. The 10 ft. sub sandwich, that I understand. Party food. But where is the fun in making yourself ill with a food you may now love but never again be able to face? Well, this next call is all about over-sized goodness. Check it out…
