DOUBLE
your pleasure

I double most of the recipes for soups, stews & casseroles. My child takes his lunch everyday, and despite working from my home office, I don’t have the time to make lunch everyday. So, leftovers are it. Eggplant lasagna is everyone’s favorite doubled meal, by the way (because it is THAT good 🙂 ). The prizes for this next Call have almost doubled in the past 3 years. Take a look…

MOUTH

I dislike the semantics of having an “open mind”. Doesn’t that, quite literally, mean that anything can go in and out? I don’t want that for my mind any more than I want that for my menu. I simply will not abide even a “devil’s advocate” argument on some subjects anymore because for me, wrong is wrong. I feel the same way about food. I’ve tried an impossibly large number of foods over the years. I will not even entertain the possibility of tasting some foods anymore. Grubs might be fantastic or even taste like my favorite stinky cheese, but I won’t be eating them, EVER. Call me closed-minded AND closed-mouthed in this respect. Luckily, this next show is wide open. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Like a Tom Waits Song

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.

The range of work includes paintings, works on paper, photography and sculpture.

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…

LETTING
go

I am trying to curb my collecting of all things culinary. I moved to a smaller house to purposefully downsize in preparation for building a smaller sustainable green home in which I hope to live the rest of my life. Passing up vintage deviled egg plates and a new pate knife pattern has reminded me that there is a reward to self restraint. One of the rewards…I can afford to collect more art, ha. This next Call is really ALL about the collectors. Here’s hoping they collect YOUR art…

Here’s an interesting Call for Entries from the Sylvia White Gallery (Ventura, CA) for the 2014 Collectors’ Choice. This could be your last chance to show in this space without being one of their represented artists. Investigate for your self…

CALL for ENTRIES:
2014 Collectors’ Choice

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Paintings, mixed media, works on paper, photography, sculpture, installation, digital, video and performance.

DEADLINE: March 1, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $35 (USD) for 3 images, $5 each additional image, maximum 10.

JURORS: Each art collector may select one or more pieces by artists that are not currently represented in their private collection. Collectors’ names will be kept anonymous until the opening reception. Editor’s Note: My assumption is these are collectors that purchase work in the Sylvia White Gallery. Because they are anonymous, the best recommendation I have for research is to spend some time investigate the artists the gallery represents, since in theory, it is their work these collectors are purchasing–at least in part.

AWARDS: Selected artists will participate in 2014 Collector’s Choice exhibit April 23rd to May 24th, 2014 at Sylvia White Gallery.

SALES: Unless otherwise specified, accepted works will be considered for sale at the price indicated and 40% commission will be retained by The Sylvia White Gallery.

CHEERS
to you

There is very little in this world that I love as much as a glass of wine alongside a freshly-made pate. But red wine decided it didn’t like me a decade ago, and I’ve never been a fan of beef liver. So, what does one do? A beautiful white and a thrifty chicken liver pate. I smell a date night coming in all of this. In the meantime, this next Call offers a business excuse to drink wine. It’s all about the rationalization sometimes…

TO EAT

Being hungry is my nightmare. Some people are afraid of snakes or the dark or being a victim of a crime. I fear hunger. To my knowledge, there is no deep-seated hunger issues in my childhood. I just scares me. Hunger isn’t just prevalent in rural areas or third-world nations. People are hungry every where, every day, from the country to far more urban areas. I’d like to see a little more attention-getting street artists focus their work on the people in the shadow of their work that are hungry. This next show is an opportunity…

CUTS of cold

It isn’t even officially winter yet, and I am already whining about wanting to picnic. I think it is the prevalence of cold cuts at holiday parties that does this to me. That, or my dogged determination to not be happy in whichever food season I find myself. But, I prefer to think it is the subliminal messaging from cold cuts. Four months and counting until I can eat in the open air again. Speaking of open air, check out this next Call. This is a new category of Call for AAAD. Show them some picnic-style love…
