BOUQUET

Are you eating flowers? I do occasionally, but only when I can buy them directly from the grower or grow them myself due to pesticides. One of my favorite edible blooms, second only to zucchini blossoms, may be sweet violets. I like to make a simple syrup infused with violets then make a subtle glaze for sugar cookies or a vinegar for a salad of bitter greens. The next time you’re at the Farmer’s Market, consider the flowers edible too. This next Call want YOUR view on all things violet–not just the flowers. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Red

blush

Red is undeniably my favorite color. I find myself drawn to red tones in food, from salmon to cherry Jell-o, Bloody Mary’s to pomegranates. Go figure. But recently I tripped across golden raspberries. How had I missed them all these years? They are slightly sweeter & milder than the traditional red variety, and I am willing to admit that I like them better in some instances. I feel like such a traitor. The next Call is the perfect red celebration. I like this group exhibit…

CALL for ENTRIES: Small Plates

Posted on June 30, 2015April 4, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

i want some
MORE

Remember having “eyes bigger than your stomach”? That was the automatic response to an overly large-portioned plate at my childhood dinner table. It was then immediately followed by a lecture reminding me of children thought to be starving in a far away country that seemed, well, other worldly to a five year old. The truth would have been more effective. There were starving children in my own country, my own state, my own town, probably my own neighborhood. I was fortunate not to want for food as a child. But today, my eyes are always bigger than my stomach. I always take on more than I can easily digest, gastronomically and otherwise, and yet I always find myself both hungry to pile on more–even while suffering the indigestion of my last turn at the proverbial table. This next Call is proof. In 2016, we are proud to be offering a buffet for all of you. Take us up on this, the first of several dinner invitations to come…

Check out this Call for Entries from ArtAndArtDeadlines.com (AAAD) for Small Plates: A Response to Hunger, a small works show, exhibited in The Balcony gallery (Knoxville, TN) located at The Emporium Center. Grow with us…

Small Plates

“The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Here at AAAD, we believed that the food metaphor is a perfect vehicle to inspire you to feed your creative self. We shun the demeaning cutesy-ness of the bohemian “starving artist” image as it numbs us to the real struggle of hunger & starvation worldwide. Starvation, in a literal way, robs humanity of being human and ends even the possibility of a creative self. For SMALL PLATES, AAAD wants your views on hunger —physical, spiritual, political, emotional and/or creative. Food references are optional.

The SMALL PLATES will be exhibit will both open & close on May 6, 2016 as a part of the First Friday festivities at The Balcony Gallery, located in The Emporium Center in Knoxville, TN –a one-day show.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists —any age, any gender, any location.

THEME: Hunger—physical, spiritual, political, emotional or creative. Food reference optional.

MEDIA: Open to all media that will fit in a 9”x12” envelope (aka 229 mm x 305 mm or No. 10 ½), including but not limited to: painting, drawing, fiber, collage, digital, photography, graphic design, illustration, pen and ink, printmaking, etc.

DEADLINE: April 18, 2016

NOTIFICATION: Ongoing by April 19, 2016

ENTRY FEE: $5 for up to 5. Entry fee waived for members in good standing of The Haggus Society.

Trained in classical, French culinary techniques, Gibson created AAAD as a food-themed resource to motivate artists to create their own community, standards & artistic opportunities. In addition to producing her own solo & collaborative art, Gibson has served as a gallerist, juror, teacher & arts administrator for nearly two decades.

AWARDS: To assist resume building, designations of Best of Show, 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place will be awarded; however, cash prizes will NOT be awarded. Award designations will be chosen from the physical work and will be judged based on artistic merit and interpretation of the theme. If not chosen for the gallery exhibit, please note that at the curator’s discretion, ONE image from EVERY artist will go into the online exhibit* with a link to the artist’s website. *Editor’s note: So if you follow all the rules, you can at the very least add the online exhibit to your resume, even if you are not selected for the physical exhibit.

SALES: All work will be considered for sale unless marked NFS. A commission of 30% will be taken on all sales. Please note, 20% commission on cash/check sales and 25% commission on credit card sales is held by Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville. The additional 5-10% commission is retained by AAAD.

CALL for ENTRIES: Still Life II

make mine a
DOUBLE

Do you know what is better than fresh, local fruits & vegetables? Twice as many fresh local fruits & vegetables. Have you heard about a program that is slowly spreading throughout farmers’ markets & co-ops in the U.S. called Double Bucks?

CHEESE

As I get older, my tastes skew toward whole foods with a higher fat content–nuts, cheese, olives. Yum. My dog is newly enamored with cheddar cheese and almonds too. She recognizes the crackle of the almond bag from the other side of the house, ha. We try to maintain enough self-restraint to limit her people food to minimum, but it is hard to say “no” to that sweet face. This next Call wants your work depicting your pet family.

TOMATOES & GRAPES
gardens in bloom

I pursued the holy grail of dining in the Holy City recently. My meal began on the porch of a grand Southern home in historic Charleston, SC overlooking a garden of heirloom blooms cultivated on the property. My meal began with a hand-propagated, rare tomato varietal and a gorgeous regional wine fermented from heirloom grapes. Even blind folded, I couldn’t have expected to be anywhere other than one of the sparkling jewel cities of the culinary culture to be experienced only in the South. The sense of place amplifies the food experience just as the sense of place in this one-of-a-kind Southern gallery exalts every work found within. Claim your spot now…

Do you peel tomatoes? I have a friend that doesn’t like “edges” on her food. No joke. She does the standard stuff like no crust on bread, but she also peels EVERY fruit & vegetable–strawberries, grapes, and yes, even tomatoes. I peel kiwi, bananas & canteloupe, but some stuff really is just easier to eat. Is it just me? This next Call wants ALL your edges (and curves). Take a look…

ENTRY FEE: $12.50 for non-members. No entry fee for Hags.

JUROR: Terri Lloyd is a San Francisco Bay Area transplant who has called Los Angeles home since 1980. Under the influence of a Sixties latch-key-kid youth, the circumstances of a working class life did not provide the conventional means to an art education or experience. Introduced to the Apple computer in the 1980s, a love affair with digital technology was born. Lloyd’s career has been a two-pronged path between fine & commercial arts.

In 2010, Lloyd retired from the commercial arts path to pursue a lifelong interest of fine arts. She continues to become more active as a leader in community arts organizations and activities. When not working in the studio, Lloyd runs The Haggus Society, a feminist art collective for women over the age of 40.

SALES: The Haggus Society does not automatically take a commission; however, a small donation in the event of sales would be appreciated. Please include this in your pricing. If a work is not for sale please indicate with NFS.

*Just one other note. I showed work in the first Edges & Curves exhibit after meeting Terri Lloyd through the Featured Artist contest. Since then, I have found a community of creatives I love and enjoyed benefit of a solo show in L.A. Now I am a lifetime member, AND they are lifetime sponsors of this site. I can’t imagine not having these folks as a part of my creative life. It is amazing what $12.50 can do.

LOBSTER
and peanuts

Most people associate Georgia with peaches, or maybe peanuts (thanks to Jimmy Carter), but I always think of barbeque ribs or creamy lobster bisque. Random, I know. I grew up in a suburb of Atlanta as a young girl, and barbeque ribs were a standard at least one night a week during the summer. Once a teenager, I made treks to Savannah with my mother to have table-side Caesar salad and lobster bisque from our favorite restaurant. I suppose every person’s food story is a unique work of non-fiction. This next Call is your non-fiction opportunity to tell your own solo story. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Non-Fiction Gallery (Savannah, GA) for Your Art Here. $35 fee & 35% commission. Here is a great chance for a solo show of your own. Take a minute to investigate…
