I must confess that I do less cooking than my daily ramblings might indicate. My dearest husband does much of the cooking in our household, and he does it wonderfully. But the times I truly enjoy are the times we spend in the kitchen together. And, as I get older, I have found that artistic collaboration keeps me motivated as well. This call offers you an opportunity to produce work while still being someone else’s muse. Great idea…

Check out this Call for Entries from Open to Interpretation’s juried book competition Water’s Edge. Have your work become the artistic inspiration for a literary masterpiece today!

*Editor’s Note:  This is a repeated post because 1) I love the collaborative nature of this Call for Entries and 2) the early deadline is five days away!

He believes in helping each student find their voice rather than making pretty pictures.

Much of his personal work, including Sacred Sites of the Lakota, Disappearing Green Space, Silent Witness: Genocide and the Landscape, Sacred Places and Earth Meets Spirit are supported by grants and commissions and have been widely exhibited and collected. His second book Earth Meets Spirit will be coming out in late 2010. Doug continues to explore the notion of what is sacred in his photography and in his life. He lives in a passive solar home surrounded by trees in Saint Paul, MN.

Personal heroes include Jimi Hendrix, the Dalai Lama and whoever invented the espresso machine.

TASTES BEAUTIFUL!

How something looks affects how it tastes.  I love the look of a plate of roasted brussel sprouts.  With one look I know they promise a earthy grassiness and a nutty comfortable ease that I will relish.  My eleven year old knows with one look that green lumps will not taste good.  Everyone’s a critic.  This Call for Entries offers you a chance to put your best image forward.

Check out this Call for Entries for the Form & Color book.  This art publication is all art, no articles, and offers something shocking… a partial refund if you are rejected!  What?  No really.

CALL for ENTRIES:  Form & Color

This is a book made by artists for artists (see Editor’s note at end), where every art manifestation is welcome.  As artist we have all experienced first hand the difficulties in being published and being seen by the professional art world. 

Read the Submission Guidelines for Form and Color!We all get tired of sending submissions without getting an answer, always left with the sensation that our money was lost and that our art was worthless.  This is why Form & Color decided to lead and promote emerging and established artists to help them reach their goals.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all visual artists – worldwide – 18 years of age or older.  All mediums will be accepted such as: painting (oils & acrylics, etc.), drawing, graphic art, photography (includes digital), mixed media, fiber, print making, sculpture, glass, metal, pottery, jewelry, etc. Only one medium per entry form.  If you wish to enter two different mediums (ex. sculpture and painting, etc.), you are required to submit an entry form and fee for each particular medium you enter.

DEADLINE:  March 1, 2011

NOTIFICATION:  All artists will be notified of acceptance or non-acceptance by email (be sure to include you email address).

Learn more about blogger R.L. Gibson!ENTRY FEE:  The entry fee for up to three (3) digital images $40.00 (US Dollars).   Artists that wish to enter more than three (3) art pieces may do so but they must pay an additional $5.00 fee per image.  The entry fee can be paid via bank check or money order which must be in US Dollars and payable to Form & Color.  Artists can also choose to pay by credit card through PayPal (this is the prefered method of payment) which is very safe and secure, print out your PayPal transaction receipt to include with your entry form.

ABOUT FORM & COLOR: Form & Color, the book, is an annual, full-color, fine quality, large (8″ x 10″) format, hardcover publication that is scheduled for release in April 2011.  It is going to be High End Art quality book.  No articles, focus ia strictly on images with the artist’s name and contact information.

The book will be available to order directly from Form & Color. Being the first volume we will commit to send it directly to the main Museums and Art Consulting Companies in U.S.A.–these are the ones always looking for new expressions of art for their clients.

For complete details, Read the Submission Guidelines!
