CALL for ENTRIES: Confluence

merge on the
MENU

Confluence of public health and food labeling took a step forward when nutrition facts were added to processed foods. I promise I won’t go into my issues with processed food or the FDA this time. The fact that nutrition facts exist on packaging leads me to believe that the interest of both the food industry and consumers can merge into content labeling regarding the origin of food as well. Fingers crossed. This next call is a Confluence of art and fine craft with an excellent retail opportunity. Investigate…

OPEN CALL: Show #25

my
BLACK BEAN
habit

Ethnic grocery stores are gateway habits for foodies. My favorite Cuban cookbook led me to my local Hispanic grocery in search of ingredients for authentic congri, and I came home with products I cannot pronounce and for which I have no use. So exciting. I appreciate being introduced to new food organically, so to speak. *snicker* This Gallery discovers artists for future shows from entries to open calls like this one. Organically…

COOKING
for crowds

Cooking is only exciting when someone appreciates it–to consume it. And, to rave about it. I now only REALLY LOVE cooking if it is a new adventurous food or recipe or technique, or if I can cook for lots of people. The same applies to art. This next Call could be how you get an audience to consume your work. ~~Eat~~ Cook your heart out…

RARE
please

I like my eggs over easy and my steak & tuna rare, maybe medium rare–depending on where I am. In restaurants, I’m rarely able to order anything rare; however, at home where I have a clearer picture of the origin and handling, everything is rare. The opportunity offered by this next Call is equally rare. Please pay attention to this one…

PICK ME

Not every weed is to be plucked and discarded. Hopefully no one is spraying chemicals on their garden--either to fertilize OR remove pests; however, I DO want to encourage you to remember that not every weed needs to be removed either. Chickweed is a perfect example. If you’re lucky enough to have it sprout in your garden, don’t weed it…eat it. And you don’t have plant a garden in an open field to find this gem; it even grows in the cracks of sidewalks. No really. This next Call DOES, however, make use of an open field. Investigate…

a mixed bag of
GROCERIES

I loosely plan a weekly menu each week by making sure there are at least seven proteins, seven green vegetables and a handful of starches available in the kitchen. From those offerings, I try to make every week different. But, since the proteins are almost always a couple of versions of same pork, beef, chicken and/or fish, making 52 different menus a year is a stretch. And, I might add that there are only so many ways to prepare zucchini & broccoli. But this next Call is the 52nd time this Call has been offered, and I promise the result has been different each and every time. Maybe this is THE opportunity for you…

CALL for ENTRIES: Spring Feature

Posted on February 7, 2014February 7, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

COCOA
powder puff

I have always preferred chocolate in my stomach, not necessarily on my face–unless it got there on its way to my stomach. But as my journey toward a simpler life continues. I am fascinated by the foodstuffs that can be used for non-culinary purposes. I’ve used coconut oil on my hair and avocado on my skin for a long time. But did you know that you can use cocoa as a colorant in a food-based face powder. I’d put on weight if I had to breathe in the smell of cocoa all day. But, it will still make me look at what I wear on my face differently. Hopefully this next Call will make you look at faces a little differently too…

CALL for ENTRIES: Like a Tom Waits Song

Posted on February 6, 2014February 6, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

sometimes an EGG
is more than an EGG

The creative are often food obsessed. I am not alone. Food is a common experience for us all, but I find that creative people tend to purposefully try to indulge all the senses at once–musicians, writers, dancers AND visual artists. So how perfect is this next Call that centers around a slightly food-obsessed musician. If you don’t know his work (Eggs & Sausage is one of my favorites, but Chocolate Jesus was infamously controversial), do your homework…you won’t be sorry.

Check out of this Call for Entries from the Arc Studios & Gallery (San Francisco, CA) for Like a Tom Waits Song. This is one of the most unique themes I have ever published. Fascinating…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Like a Tom Waits Song

This open call is for all artists who have found themselves deeply moved, enraptured, bemused or inspired by Tom Waits. Has his music ever transported you to a dusty desert town or an abandoned train yard or a glowing, gritty neon rainy city street filled with steam? Listening to his music do you come away from the experience with a flash of inspiration embodying his lyrics? Like Tom Waits, do you tell tall tales and spin yarns with your work?

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all US artists

MEDIA: Sculpture, painting, drawing, photo, printmaking, ceramics, assemblage, collage, mixed media, fiber art & artist books. This exhibition cannot accept jewelry, video, film, performance art, installation and works requiring an external electrical source.

DEADLINE: February 23rd, 2014

NOTIFICATION: March 28, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 3

JUROR: graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1977. Her background as an artist has assisted in her understanding of the perspectives and idiosyncrasies of the art world.

For over twenty-five years the Andrea Schwartz Gallery has supported work that is challenging and at the forefront of contemporary practice, representing a select group of mid-career artists from the Bay Area and throughout the country. The range of work includes paintings, works on paper, photography and sculpture.

AWARDS: A Juror’s Award ribbon and certificate will be presented to three works that express the most imaginative interpretation of the theme. There are two opportunities to get into this show. The juror will select works that will be exhibited in the Arc Gallery at 1246 Folsom Street and on the Arc On-line Gallery. The juror will also select works that will be shown in the Arc On-line gallery only. This allows for more works to be seen beyond the 1,000 square feet physical limitation of the gallery.

DRIZZLE

My new ace-in-the-whole dish is for last minute parties and desserts is anything topped with chocolate glaze. 3/4 cup of dark chocolate chips melted with 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil. From cheesecake to strawberries, it works on everything. Warm, it is like velvet. Cold, it is a beautiful shell. Here’s hoping everything turns up aces for you with this next Call. Remember, nothing great happens unless you TRY. Investigate for yourself…
