Check out this Call for Entries from the Stockton Art League and The Haggin Museum (Stockton, CA) for their 57th Juried Exhibition. The entry fee is reasonable, and I am happy to see a show that has grown from regional to national.  Maybe international is around the corner.  Investigate…

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.

This Call for Entries is for the 13 Sugarloaf Fine Art & Crafts festivals.  I don’t publish many festival calls, but Sugarloaf is among the country’s finest.  Take a look, and find a festival for you…or enter them all.
