SINFUL
indulgence

Butter, cheese and chocolate. Those are three of the deadly sins right? They represent Sloth, Greed and Lust respectively in my household, ha. But, what is the world without a little sin? By what criteria do we judge the holy virtues without a little sin? This next Call gives you just that opportunity. Investigate for yourself…

Check out this Call to Artists for 7 Deadly Sins from the Linus Galleries (Pasadena, CA). The exhibit offers an online listing as well as the possibility for a showing in one of their brick and mortar galleries. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Surrounded

Posted on February 3, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

MOOOO-VE
over

I’m not a huge fan of buffet restaurants. I understand why people hosting large parties prefer buffets, but I choose NOT to go to buffet restaurants because I prefer not to be surrounded by people. And, not all food should be held at the same temp. I don’t like being part of the herd. Luckily, this next Call is about art and not food because it is a bit like a buffet style show. As I mentioned, sometimes it just works. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from the new Roman Susan Gallery (Chicago, IL) for Surrounded Salon. I LOVE salon-style–the sensory overload of floor to ceiling work and disparate styles and techniques hanging side by side. Give it a try…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mayhem

Posted on February 1, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

THE POPCORN
fiasco

I recently reclaimed my kitchen. Lately, the time I spend outside of my home office, art and music studios is greatly reduced, and now I handle almost ALL of the cooking again. I’m loving it, but I have become SO territorial. My husband can make popcorn, and it looks like someone has been killing zombies. And why, pray tell, if the dishwasher is empty can the dirty dishes not go there instead of on the counter? Deep breaths; I digress. This next Call is all about Mayhem; Send them your best…

Check out this Call for Entries from Arc Gallery (San Francisco, CA) for Mayhem. The entry fee is reasonable, and I like this selection of media. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Fork & Knife

Posted on January 22, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

MODERATION
kills?

All of my life, some adult or the other has been saying “everything in moderation” to me. It has always been my favorite justification for pizza, brownies, and other I-should-know-better indulgences. Then I watched Forks over Knives and heard “moderation kills”. You know what killed me? Their version of moderation was eating dairy and meat. Really? Milk is an indulgence now? I have to admit, I have lowered my dairy and meat intake, but clearly, moderation is going to kill me. This next Call is NOT about moderation, but it IS about food. Investigate…

2012 ARTIST of the YEAR: Stephanie Mead

Posted on January 8, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Today marks another year for ArtAndArtDeadlines.com! And, I am running a little late again, but I at least I’m getting it done before Chinese New Year (February 10th this year). I am joyfully looking forward to a new year. 2012 was a really tough year for me personally. But, 2012 had some wonderful food highlights including pesto made from home-grown basil from my newly-planted garden as well as highlights for AAAD, including this one…

This is the day we name the
Artist of the Year for 2012.

When AAAD began in 2009, I was determined to cover art deadlines and really good ART. And, after I chose a few artists, I quickly realized that the Featured Artist program needed structure, or it would never really get done on any sort of regular basis. The $5 Art Contest was born.

The Featured Artist Page was getting crowded and adding each new artist was lessening the impact of being Featured. I knew I had to start archiving artists yearly. And, the idea of the Artist of the Year was born.

I now give all of our Featured Artists each year notice that on December 31st at midnight EST, the Artist of the Year would be determined by the number of comments on their individual Featured Artist blog posts.

Congratulations to
Stephanie Mead,
AAAD’s 2012 Artist of the Year

I followed up with Stephanie to find out what’s new: “I try to balance my art and my music and my cooking (I just made another batch of chili yesterday in between preparing a submission for a fellowship in Music through New York Foundation of the Arts). The Sullied Accolades are gaining happy success in our musical career; this year we have completed an in-home recording booth and are getting much use out of it. Additionally, our music video project was screened at the 2012 Coney Island Film Festival in Brooklyn.

“In the meantime, my large, mixed media, octopus piece is out on our main wall, reaching towards anyone that walks by. She is almost finished (a long, on-going project because of the scale!), and I felt compelled after Hurricane Sandy to pick up bits of paper from the streets and insert pieces of fishing route/Manhattan waterway maps as the octopus tentacles…

“As I gain more experiences in life, the more complex and refined my art has become. I look forward to keep pushing forward. I am happy to be an artist in this life, it is my calling. I am excited for all opportunities that are coming my way.”

I have enjoyed getting to know Stephanie this year. I found a kindred artist and musician in Stephanie, and her work spoke to both my frustration AND my optimism. Thank you, Stephanie, for being a highlight of the AAAD year! Get to know Stephanie Mead yourself.

Do you want to be the 2013 Artist of the Year?
It all starts with the $5 Art Contest.

CALL for ENTRIES: Urban

Posted on December 21, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

SU-SHI
or not to sushi

I used to think always equate urban settings with sushi; however, sushi can be found everywhere these days. I know of a town with a population of approximately 450, and even their local convenience store carries sushi. I may have to revert to the idea of street vendors or food trucks as urban food. Or maybe truly urban food is represented not by a specific type of food so much as a large variety of options. Hmmm. This next call wants to know how YOU define urban. Investigate this opportunity…

Check out this Call to Artists for Urban from the Linus Galleries (California). The exhibit offers an online listing as well as the possibility for a showing in one of their brick and mortar galleries. 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.

BERRY
jealous

Did you know that the chokecherry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry and thimbleberry (pictured left) ALL grow wild in Minnesota? I could use some wild berries about now. My grocery store is getting to that point in the season that only citrus fruit has any taste and you’re best to stay clear of the seemingly gold-plated (based on the price), tasteless berries. This next Call hails from Minnesota, home of my current berry-envy. Take a look…

GREEK
to me

Greek yogurt is clearly the fashionable food of the year. We prefer Stonyfield Farm Organic. I love it, but I am really tired of the commercials. On my last grocery trip, I saw a new brand of hummus that said “Now with Greek Yogurt.” Really? Putting yogurt in hummus is like putting mayo in guacamole; just say no. This next Call is about all that is stylish and fashionable. Don’t miss this opportunity…

REMINDER: Open Call at Flow

Posted on November 6, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

A Season for…
everything

The featured food at my house this week is Jona Gold apples ($.89/lb). Last month is was asparagus ($1.99/lb). This whole month it has been apples, partly because of our proximity to an orchard, and partly due to price. We’re heading toward Winter, and I’ll be eating $1 butternut squash for at least 2 months. It is all about eating what’s in season. It is cheaper, healthier, and yummier. Think of it as a seasonal treat. This next Call is all about the upcoming season, and it’s a treat too! Take a look…
