CALL for ENTRIES: Summer Solstice

Posted on May 2, 2017May 2, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

SWEET harvest

While my friends are dreaming of picnics awash with super-size sandwiches and fresh squeezed lemonade, I crave fruit salads. My childhood was fulled of canned fruit cocktail, coconut & marshmallow concoctions; so my adulthood is ripe with freshness. Most of the year I try to take in moderate amounts of sugar, but fresh, summer fruits like apples & pears, starfruit & guava, berries & melons are more than I can resist. I’m hoping you can’t resist this next Call, which is also all about summer. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Below Zero

beware the ICE

I lamented to a friend about my having to buy frozen dinners to supplement my child’s homemade options due to scheduling conflicts, and that session of whining spun off into a whole other discussion about why we quit calling them “TV dinners”. My friend optimistically believes it is because people, generally speaking eat in front of the TV less often. However, I suspect it is because we eat FROZEN meals far more commonly than just in front of the TV. I am grateful there are some better options out there. So, if you’re standing at a counter, fork in hand, eating a frozen dinner & scrolling art deadlines on your phone, use it as inspiration to consider all thing frozen for this call. Take a look…

“Hell has frozen over. The trees have lost their leaves, the sun is shining fewer and fewer hours everyday…and yet there is still immense beauty in the world. A drop frozen at the tip of a tree branch, crystals forming in a mud puddle…now more than ever, we artists need to find the glimmers of hope and push them to the forefront. And we may have some cold demons to exorcize. Show us what you think about this winter in all its cold, bleak wonder and possibility.” –from libertytownarts.com

CALL for ENTRIES: For the Love of Animals

NEW TREATS

My “pup” will eat anything. Pepper, my four-legged child, is going to be a pup of ten-years-old soon. As she gets older, there are fewer and fewer things she should eat. The food she loves is of the cheapest, most fast-food sort of variety. We limit her people food to fresh veggies & the occasional egg, but her dog food and treats have taken a huge turn. The cheapest of food causes the worst of skin allergies, but for the love of this animal, I’ll probably be making her food and treats before long. This next Call is for the love of animals, not just dogs. Here’s your chance to make a difference, but they are taking the percentage from their share…

Check out this Call for Entries from LibertyTown Arts (Fredericksburg, VA) for a nat’l juried exhibit, For the Love of Animals. A percentage of jury fees & gallery’s commission go to the SPCA. Take a look…
