CHICKEN

chicken

I learned my love of eating from my family, but I learned my love of food from experience far outside my family dynamic.  You can’t choose your family as a child, and my family loved fried chicken and collard greens.  I love fried chicken, too. You can keep the collards, thanks.  But, I was simply never happy accepting the limited palate of “Southern” home-style cooking.  I still want to try everything.  That’s just who I am.  This next Call is all about your family.  Don’t miss this chance…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for We Are Family. 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: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

CALL for ENTRIES:
We Are Family

 

Say cheese!
Capture the characters
that make your family
truly one-of a-kind.

 

Images of the intimate moments between your most familiar familiars. The random snapshots of your kin’s kooky happenings. These are the people who know you best, use this thread of familiarity that binds you for artistic creation and freedom.

You know that old saying, “You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family.”  They are looking to choose your unchosen!
