one POTATO
two ONION
three ASPARAGUS

I would put my soup making skills up against anyone’s. Period. You keep your biscuit making, and I’ll continue to create freaky variations on potato, french onion and cream of asparagus soup. You have to know when you’ve got the right stuff. This next Call offers you an opportunity to put your art where your mouth is. (Apologies for the hackneyed, duplicitous puns. Bad, I know.) Do this…

Check out this Call for Entries from CultureHall, a curated online resource for contemporary art, for the March Feature Issue. This isn’t a come-one, come-all, pay your cash for exposure site. You have to make the cut based on your own merit. I like it, and I entered this one before I finished this post. How about you?

CALL for ENTRIES: Washington Pavilion

don’t cut the
CAKE

Isn’t it funny how certain seasons suddenly bring about the craving for very specific foods? It never occurs to most people to even think about fruitcake until we start seeing winter holiday decorations appear. My German in-laws (3rd generation via Wisconsin) save kuchen for Christmas. Kuchen is German & approximately translates to “cake,” but I know it as a sort of custard & jam filled sweet-dough, low-rise cake that screams Christmas. Much to my surprise, it is also the state dessert of South Dakota–the home of this next Call. This is a beautiful venue, by the way…

TO GROW

I am slightly obsessed with the hunt for the perfect piece of land. My husband & I are determined that 2014 will be the year we finally build a house, but we can talk about that adventure later. Right now, I have to find the land. I need land that will both allow for a solar-efficient, south-facing house, but I also need a large enough plot to accommodate our offices, a studio, and a garden, of course–and cheap. I know. The land really MEANS something to me just like the landscape needs to MEAN something in this next Call. Keep reading…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Hera Gallery (Wakefield, RI) for Landscape at the Edge.

getting my
GOAT

I have a significant number of friends that simply won’t cook for me. They assume, based on my writing, that I might be too discerning. It is ridiculous and unfounded, of course. I eat everything (except wheat). But many of them have read enough of my posts to feel safe if they always include a stinky cheese. And, a handful of them have read my posts closely enough to know that goat cheese is proverbial gold. If you only get one chance to make a first impression, goat cheese is always the gold standard. This next Call gives you an opportunity to see if your work is the gold standard. Please take this chance…

HO, HO…
HOT

When the weather gets cold, I dream of chili peppers. Ridiculous? Maybe. You want hot cocoa, I want hot cocoa too…with a little chili pepper. We’re not that different. Oh, but how I long for a Tortas ahogadas (drowned sandwich) soaked in all of its chili pepper glory. Is it wrong to apply for an artist residency, like the one in this next Call, just to eat a sandwich–a really, really good sandwich? Luckily there are many great reason other than the Tortas ahogadas to apply. Take a look…

OPEN CALL: Marfa

FONDUE-LY
ours

I’ve been searching for a new St. Valentine’s Day activity for years. Our tried ‘n’ true floor picnics with wine-steamed mussels went South when Jon developed an allergy to shellfish. We’ve been floundering since then. Usually we just revert to lamb chops and asparagus at home because we live in the 2nd most popular place to wed in the country. We don’t want to fight the crowds of newly weds for a dinner of processed cheese fondue, a dozen artificially-dyed, neon-red roses and a heart-shaped cardboard box of chocolates. No thanks. O, how I would LOVE to attend a fantastic opening like the one we can expect of this next Call. Alas, only the DEADLINE of this Call is on St. Valentine’s Day. Take a look…

Check out this Open Call from The Biennial Project (East Boston, MA) for the Biennial Roadshow Marfa 2014 (Marfa, TX). Marfa is the proverbial house that Donald Judd built. Just do your homework.

OPEN CALL:
Marfa

This is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick…

The Biennial Project is pleased to announce an open call to artists worldwide for Biennial Roadshow Marfa 2014 – an online juried competition and screen digital presentation.

Art will be presented as part of a giant screen digital display at The Biennial Roadshow Marfa 2014 Hoodang (that is a reception for you non-Texans) and Gala being held at world-renowned El Cosmico, the coolest gathering spot for trend-makers in the art-world Mecca of Marfa, Texas.

Now, you may ask…
Why Marfa, Texas?

It all started when the acclaimed minimalist artist Donald Judd left New York City in the 1970s for this dusty dot of a town. With the help of the DIA Foundation, Judd acquired an entire Army base, and before he died in 1994, he filled it with art, including light installations by Dan Flavin and Judd’s own signature boxes. Now it’s a whole creative community.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All media that can be captured in a still digital image

DEADLINE:
February 14, 2014

ENTRY FEE:
$35 for up to 3, $5 each additional

JURORS: Members of The Biennial Project – plus a special celebrity guest juror to be announced.

AWARDS: All selected work will be displayed on the Biennial Roadshow website gallery and in a blog posting that reaches an audience of 3,000. Work will also will be included in a digital art display to be shown at The Biennial Project’s Biennial Roadshow Marfa 2014 Hoodang and Gala.

The Grand Prize is a solo gallery show on the Biennial Roadshow website, and a solo blog posting of 15 pieces work in a blog posting that reaches an audience of 3,000.

OPEN CALL: Solo Project House

DINNER
for one

I prefer not to eat alone. It isn’t due to all the ridiculous social stigma attached because I dislike eating alone even at home. When I eat alone, I tend to get sucked into the idea of a gourmet meal which sounds fantastic but takes forever. In the middle of cooking, I break down and eat a “snack” (often the size of a meal) thereby insuring I won’t be hungry by the time dinner is ready to be eaten. I may not like to eat alone, but this next Call is for your work–all alone. And, let’s face it, we all like to SHOW alone…

Check out this Open Call from Solo Project House (Newark, NJ) for 2014-15 Solo Exhibits. Winners receive a 6 week exhibit in NYC. Is this one for you?

THE COOKIE

I have been meaning to make cookies all week. I have this great recipe for peanut butter chocolate chip cookies made with chickpeas instead of traditional wheat flour. They are fantastic; however, every time I start to make them, I don’t quite have enough large chocolate chips. Everyone in my house grabs a small handful on their way through the kitchen. I suppose somethings are best all on their own. This next Call might give YOU the chance to be on your own. Investigate…

My husband sings in the kitchen. It isn’t one specific tune; it is usually whatever he last heard. I don’t know how he doesn’t find it distracting. I need concentration and quiet to make sure my mousse doesn’t burn. I just do. I don’t often listen to music while I produce art either. Puzzling. This next Call is musically inspired; maybe I should experiment. Take a look…
