DRAGONS

I think finding some fantastic foods is an omen that better foods are coming. If I find dragon fruit in the produce section of a grocery, chances are good I’ll find great rack of lamb too. Likewise, if the amuse bouche is delightful, then the Chef’s Choice entree is probably what I want. This next Call hits me the same way–an art sale in a bank. Just saying…

please,
take my
FLOUR

All I want for my birthday is a biscuit. My birthday is June 6th. On Christmas Day, I made my birthday request of my mother. She’s the best biscuit-maker I know, my husband being a close 2nd, but neither of them has yet to master a gluten-free biscuit. I can only hope one of them figures it out. It is the only gluten-laden food I miss. And, in a cruel twist of fate, this Call is in my backyard. I can’t bear the thought, so please, someone make me proud…

MIXER

I am no longer fascinated by deconstructed food. I’ll admit that for a while there, it seemed like an art to be served a deconstructed Caesar salad, but I’m over it. If I wanted deconstructed food, couldn’t I just partially create dishes at home and save myself both the extra preparation of making the completed meal and save the trip to the restaurant? I am just uncertain that abstraction has a place in my diet. So, let’s keep abstraction on the wall like in this next Call, okay? Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
In the Abstract

Abstract photography explores color, movement, form, and other intangibles that are not dependent on a recognizable subject. The medium of photography has a unique ability to reproduce with precision and clarity, the world as we see it. Abstract photography deconstructs our world, resulting in new and surprising interpretations. Graphic elements without context, long exposures, blurred subjects, and extreme close-ups are a few of the ways that photographers manipulate their subjects in an abstract manner. These works are limited only by imagination.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Non-representational Photography

March 21, 2014

a mixed bag of
GROCERIES

I loosely plan a weekly menu each week by making sure there are at least seven proteins, seven green vegetables and a handful of starches available in the kitchen. From those offerings, I try to make every week different. But, since the proteins are almost always a couple of versions of same pork, beef, chicken and/or fish, making 52 different menus a year is a stretch. And, I might add that there are only so many ways to prepare zucchini & broccoli. But this next Call is the 52nd time this Call has been offered, and I promise the result has been different each and every time. Maybe this is THE opportunity for you…

CALL for ENTRIES: Spring Feature

Posted on February 7, 2014February 7, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

COCOA
powder puff

I have always preferred chocolate in my stomach, not necessarily on my face–unless it got there on its way to my stomach. But as my journey toward a simpler life continues. I am fascinated by the foodstuffs that can be used for non-culinary purposes. I’ve used coconut oil on my hair and avocado on my skin for a long time. But did you know that you can use cocoa as a colorant in a food-based face powder. I’d put on weight if I had to breathe in the smell of cocoa all day. But, it will still make me look at what I wear on my face differently. Hopefully this next Call will make you look at faces a little differently too…

sometimes an EGG
is more than an EGG

The creative are often food obsessed. I am not alone. Food is a common experience for us all, but I find that creative people tend to purposefully try to indulge all the senses at once–musicians, writers, dancers AND visual artists. So how perfect is this next Call that centers around a slightly food-obsessed musician. If you don’t know his work (Eggs & Sausage is one of my favorites, but Chocolate Jesus was infamously controversial), do your homework…you won’t be sorry.

Check out of this Call for Entries from the Arc Studios & Gallery (San Francisco, CA) for Like a Tom Waits Song. This is one of the most unique themes I have ever published. Fascinating…

CALL for ENTRIES: Book Arts

read to me of
FOOD

My mother loves to read. I grew up in a house full of books–including cook books. Maybe I’ll add one of my own cookbooks to her collection some day. One of my favorite cookbooks is The Vegetarian Epicure. The author, Anna Thomas once said, “We all eat, and it would be a sad waste of opportunity to eat badly.” That one statement changed my life and how I approach feeding both myself and my family. Books have a way of doing that, changing things, I mean. And, I would make the argument that food changes you as well, for better or worse, depending on your choices. This next Call give you a chance to change a life with a book. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Man’s Best Friend

one POTATO
two POTATO
zero GRAPES

My Dad always loved to munch on raw potatoes when prepping them for some portion of a meal. No joking. Honestly, the only other being I know that loves raw potatoes is my dog Pepper. She loves them almost as much as cabbage and carrots. Her ultimate favorite was white grapes; then I learned they could lead to renal failure. (Apparently not many of you knew that either since no one responded when I wrote this post.) So, veggies it is, potatoes included. This next Call doesn’t necessarily want to know so much about what you feed them as much as your love for them. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Juxtapose

Posted on January 27, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

PEAR-ING
it down

I have given up my fruit with mean ban. That’s right–for years, I have had a problem with fruit and meat together. I tend to prefer fruits a little chilled, and I prefer meat at least room temperature, but preferably warm. As you might imagine juxtaposing the two only highlighted their differences. But, I’ve come around. As I have come to eating local (and organic, when possible) fruit, I am starting to prefer it room temperature. So, now oranges, apples, pears and more are showing up in my curries and stirfrys more and more often. Juxtaposition is all the rage for this next Call too. Great theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Juxtapose. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: Please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. I have a soft spot for this gallery, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Juxtapose

The composition of
two or more elements
within a photograph,
emphasizing either the
similarity or dissemblance
between them.

One of the most effective ways to express ideas photographically is to compare and contrast subjects visually. Placing contrasting elements side-by-side adds interest to a photograph and holds the viewer’s attention. Opposites such as: large and small, light and shadow, happy and sad, smooth and rough, new and old, horizontal and vertical, still and motion. Each one of these examples draws the viewer in, makes them curious about the story, why is that person happy while the other one is sad? How did that cat managed to get in amongst all of those dogs? Why are these two seemingly unrelated objects set in the same frame?

Explore complex or simplistic incongruity, opposites and contradictions, layered imagery, and observe the addition and subtraction of context. Counterbalance can marry elements by placing them side-by-side, above or below each other, or layer them in the foreground, middle-ground and background just as slow shutter speeds can show the disparity of moving objects compared to static ones.

Explore the uniqueness
found in apposing
colors, textures, characters
& objects.

Juxtaposition plays a crucial role in creating expression in each of these areas and the photographs’ overall message and allure – so crucial that we feel it deserves an exhibit all it’s own.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: March 19, 2014

NOTIFICATION: March 26, 2014

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 for $24 US for on-line & $29 by email

SALAD
anyone?

My frugality DOES know boundaries. The one thing I don’t do is public foraging. It isn’t that I am necessarily opposed to eating wild things, like dandelion greens. Actually, I’m all for it, to be honest. But I am fearful of things unknown that might be sprayed ONTO the wild things. I live on the boundary (within a 1/2 mile) of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but since you cannot legally forage in any National Park, that doesn’t really help me find a safe place to forage. I suppose my wild things will be limited to art, for now–like this next Call. Take a look…
