The coming of Spring, in its own time, will bring us the results of this next Call for a beautiful art magazine. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Time Machines

Posted on November 27, 2017November 28, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

childhood FAVORITES.

I spent part of this weekend in a Virginia State Park. Every year the park lights their train tunnel and serves hot chocolate & s’mores while musicians echo familiar carols in the background. As the temperature dropped to the mid-thirties, I made my way to concessions & was handed a steaming paper cup with a plastic spoon to stir my powdered mix. After my first sugary sip, I was transported to my childhood, as if by time machine, complete with melted marshmallow mustache. Thanks to Natural Tunnel State Park for the trip. ♥ This next Call wants your vision of the passage of time. Take a look…

VEGGIE dough

Variety in the produce department is on it’s way out with the onset of winter temps. Initially it feels dire –momentary panic. But by the time winter arrives, Dec. 21st this year, I will appreciate the nutty sweetness of root veggies and the silky texture of winter squash and a rainbow of beans. Plus, the cost of my weekly produce goes down by a third leaving more money for art supplies. Woohoo! This next Call offers a great opportunity to stock your studio supply closet too. Take a look…

comfort FOOD

We are approaching the one-year anniversary of the East Tennessee wildfires. When I posted this Call last year, I lamented my emotional-eating reaction to those wildfires –baked goods. But, a year later finds me back to a full-time studio practice, 40 lbs lighter & feeding my wildfire PTSD with more vegetables & fewer baked goods. It’s a better place for me. How about you? Where were you a year ago? This next Call feels good & is also a great way to end your year. Cash prizes too…

CALL for ENTRIES: Raw

Posted on November 5, 2017November 4, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

raw FOOD

In a world where so many people are vegetarian or vegan, steak tartar was once the most controversial food conversations one could have. Now we have so many more choices of things with which to disagree. If we just stick to raw foods, there are still subgroups like fruitarians, juicearians, or sproutarians which cause heads to metaphorically explode. The bottom line is that people have the right to determine what goes into their bodies, and what we choose to eat says something about who we are. We are what we eat, right? This next Call wants to know the raw truth about you through your work. This one is personal…

Check out this Call for Entries from IU Kokomo Art Gallery (Kokomo, IN) for Raw: The Exhibition. There is no entry fee, the media is wide open & the commission rate is low. If you’re willing to let it hang out, this could be a great opportunity…

CALL for APPLICATIONS: Paris Residency

Posted on October 24, 2017October 24, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

POMME de terre

While most of the U.S. is pumpkin spice obsessed this Fall, I am looking forward to potatoes. Yes, I can get potatoes year ’round, but most of my favorite potato dishes are French-inspired, winter comfort food. Raclette is a firm cheese made from cow’s milk, meant to melted and served over potatoes. Gratin dauphinois is a glorious combination of potatoes, cream & garlic reminiscent of scalloped potatoes. How about hachis parmentier, consisting mashed potatoes & ground beef, layered with cheese? The only thing better than these winter foods would be eating them in Paris. This next Call could give you just that opportunity. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Emerging Artists 2018

Posted on September 6, 2017September 6, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

subtle GRAIN

I have never been a big fan of rice. As a child, I only experienced rice as white, short grain & topped with copious amounts of brown gravy. When put up against the family of starches, including potatoes and pasta, rice has always paled in comparison. But lately, I have a newfound respect for the subtleties. Available in a rainbow of hues, this delicate grain makes the best of additions from tomatoes & cumin to mango & orange juice. Rice has emerged as one of my favorites. This next Call seeks emerging artists. Are you emerging? Show your stuff.

Artist of the Day: Sima Schloss

Posted on August 30, 2017August 30, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

“Perhaps we never know someone until we see them
in love, despair or in danger.” —Sima Schloss

•

At times I feel my life is laid bare before the world. Because I don’t have faith in the existence of privacy and an excessive desire to control my surroundings, I have beaten everyone to the punch. I have revealed almost everything to be known about me. Those few crumbs I have kept for myself are dark corners best left unexamined by most. But if Sima Schloss, today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, is right about love, despair & danger, I have nowhere to hide. I am oddly relieved. What are you not trying to hide?
