CALL for ENTRIES: Topeka Competition 33

Posted on July 27, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

COFFEE anyone?

Are you a borrower or a buyer? Of books, I mean? If you haven’t been to your local library recently, be sure to stop by. Many libraries are re-inventing themselves to look much like big box book stores complete with vendors of coffee & pastries. They often also lend music, movies and even art. This next Call comes from a library with a full-fledged art gallery adjacent. This is for 3-d work only…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Friends of the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library (Topeka, KS) for Topeka Competition 33 at the Alice C. Sabatini Gallery (located within a public library). Despite its location, this is a fairly traditional gallery space & the juror’s work is masterful. Take a look…

CRABBY

I am dreaming of a June picnic in the park. I want crab salad on a beautiful buttery croissant, a bright spinach salad and a large glass of lemonade. But that will have to wait. Any picnic in the park right now would involve mittens and down bubble coats. This next Call could be the perfect chance for my picnicking dreams. Take a look…

PLAN AHEAD

My family is on a savings spree. We sat down the first week of the year and decided on goals for the year. Many of those goals require cash. Cash necessitates saving. Saving, in my house, means cutting the food budget. Grocery shopping is now preceeded by a menu and detailed grocery list and eating out has been cut to one sit-down meal and one fast-food meal a week. This next Call gives you an opportunity to plan ahead.
