If this blog has an underlying, non-food theme, it would be “be brave”.  I use suggestions that you eat uni, or maybe fermented duck eggs, as the way to the point across, but “be brave” is the true theme, nonetheless.  This next Call is asking for your take on “The Road not Taken.”  Be brave and try…

Check out this Call for Entries from Lander Art Center (Lander, WY) for The Road Not Taken.  This is a great theme that is wide open to interpretation.  Could this be the opportunity for you?

The Road Not Taken

 

This year’s juror show theme centers around the well known 1916 poem by Robert Frost entitled The Road Not Taken.  Poetry and the visual arts can have the similar ability to evoke thought, reflection, and emotion.  This year’s theme, The Road Not Taken can be explored as a whole or focused on a certain phrase or aspect of the poem by the artist.

Who is left behind when one goes down one path and not the other?  What do we sacrifice for taking the road less traveled?  The poem is to be interpreted by the individual artist.

SIMPLE AS PIE

I adore themed work, and I’m just narcissistic enough to love an autobiographical theme even more, ha.  As artists we’re programmed to put our demons and dirty laundry on display, but what about the sometimes subtle undertones that influence your work…like where you’re from.  Seems simple as pie, right?  Maybe, maybe not.

Check out this great Call for Entries from the Lander Art Center in Wyoming named As It Turns Out, I’m from… whose idea is to connect your work to roots of childhood or home or whatever works for you.  The deadline for entries is September 8th, and there are $1000 in prizes up for grabs!

CALL for ENTRIES:  As It Turns Out, I’m From…

At a conference where an artist once spoke about her work in detail, the audience laughed out loud when halfway through she said, “As it turns out, I’m from Pittsburgh.”  After learning so much about her artwork it seemed perfectly fitting that her large steel sculptures would be influenced by this historically industrial city.

Click for a Prospectus!Many of us make an exodus at some point in our lives– to seek out a life of our own.  Those who don’t make an exodus might gladly identify with their background.  Either way, our roots often appear in subtle and interesting ways even if we don’t intend for it to happen or notice until later.

THE THEME:  The object is to connect your artwork to your roots.  The connection may be as simple as the artist mentioned above from Pittsburgh who makes large steel sculptures.  Or it may be a connection more direct like painting place related childhood memories or using found objects from your hometown.  The interpretation of the connection is in the hands of the artist. Your “home” can be a city, state, country, culture or even a state of mind.  Whatever the connection, the Lander Art Center wants you to discover it and share it.
