More and more people are farming. There may be fewer commercial farms, but I find that more and more people are taking the time to grow something. Not everything; just something. This image (left) is from the Facebook feed of a friend of mine in the suburbs of Charleston, WV who is sprouting garlic for container gardening on his back patio. He planted tomato seedlings in between the sprouted cloves. It isn’t a huge endeavor, but he’ll have the best salsa of anyone in his neighborhood this summer. LOVE.

“Curious about histories, origins, and the beginning of things, we ask emerging artists to probe their genesis – the dawning of a tribe, the annals of ancestry, the birth of a movement. Those catalytic moments in time that give rise to new ethos. We also invite artists working with organic and/or sustainable materials to apply. Our aim is to feature projects born out of a response to horticulture, urban farming, and agriculture; or narratives that invoke our natural world. ” –from onthegroundfloor.co
ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists
MEDIA: Open to all media
DEADLINE: May 30, 2015
ENTRY FEE: $25
