CALL for ENTRIES: Really Affordable

Learn more about the Really Affordable Art Show from BWAC!just a PINCH

Because I am self-employed, my food budget fluctuates from week to week.  I have learned how to make a casserole out of random refrigerator & freezer finds.  I have learned to keep affordable staples like rice & potatoes, sauces like salsa verde & marinara, vegetables like cabbage & carrots, and proteins like chickpeas & canned salmon.  I can serve a fantastic dinner for 4 for under $8 in a pinch.  This next Call offers art to patrons at a really affordable price to help artists begin to build a base of collectors while presenting work professionally and taking a low commission.  It is a thoughtful call.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from BWAC (Brooklyn, NY) for the Really Affordable Art Show.  There is a price cap on submissions to this show, but there is only 25% commission.  A distinguished juror & a $1000 purchase award make this is a great opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: All Things Salmon

Learn more about the All Things Salmon exhibit from the Coos Art Museum!FOOD fight

Tuna & salmon are sometimes a person’s first introduction to food politics.  The “dolphin safe” label has been appearing on cans of tuna since the 1990s, helping consumers influence industry-wide changes in fishing methods. And, the wild vs. farmed salmon arguments continues to be hotly debated by nutritionists, chefs, foodies & environmentalists.  Contaminants vs. nutrition, sustainability vs. over-fishing or Atlantic vs. Pacific.  If you’re looking for a food fight, there’s always one to be had.  This next Call is all about salmon –no arguing required.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Sugar Rush

a SWEET treat

I’ve been hired to write a series of budget dessert recipes that encourage local, organic sourcing.  I try to limit my personal intake of sugar because I am so easily addicted.  As a result, I am struggling to balance the sweetness in these concoctions.  I don’t want to use artificial sweeteners.  Honey is a flavor, not a just a sweetener.  Stevia can come with a bitter aftertaste. Agave nectar has the same glycemic impact as a sugar, so why not just use sugar?  At what point is sweet just sweet?  This next Call is all about the sugar.  Take a look…

As people celebrating Independence Day in the U.S. are want to do, my neighbors are grilling all manner of food.  In the fifteen feet I walked to my car, I was assaulted by the smell of lighter fluid.  What is it about the 4th of July that makes people want to light charcoal on fire and char meats & marshmallows.  Is that motivation uniquely American?  I made enchiladas; does that make me less American?  This next Call is looking for uniquely American work.  What will you show them?

CALL for ENTRIES: New Directions 2017

pass the SALT

Did you know there is a proper direction to pass food around the table?  It dates back centuries to men, mostly right handed, who were armed at the dinner table.  If you passed food  from the right, you ran the chance of bumping in to a weapon or worse yet, causing a spilled drink.  So these days it is still considered proper to serve or pass from left to right.  After all these years, you’d think there would be a better reason or a new direction, but, no.  This next Call is a new direction, more than 3 decades old –an exhibit now in its 33rd year. Don’t miss this opportunity…

I’m on week 3 of no dishwasher.  It isn’t that bad.  I was dreading it before the move, but I knew downsizing was important enough to get over the inconvenience.  The only real difference I have noticed is the increased use of parchment paper, ha.  I don’t mind washing dishes, but cleaning baking pans is to be avoided when at all possible.  This next Call doesn’t require your work be on or in paper, but one artist will get a bonus prize of beautiful papers from the Awagami FactoryTake a look…

I am a little obsessed with citrus pasta salad this summer, but I’m known for cravings not unlike a pregnant woman.

Learn more about the Joshua Tree National Park Art Expo from the Joshua Tree National Park Council for the Arts!YUCA, not yucca

Tapioca is an other-worldly food.  I love the pearls in pudding and starch as a thickener, but I still find it odd.  Many people think it is a grain, like wheat, but it is processed as a product of the cassava plant.  You may know it as yuca, which can be found from Brazil to Nigeria, but don’t confuse it for yucca, the similar-sounding decorative plant that is related to the Joshua Tree.  And whatever you do, don’t eat a Joshua Tree, ha. The Park behind the next Call would probably like for me to reiterate that point –don’t eat Joshua Tree; but DO make art inspired by them.  Take a look…

BERRY good

Painting with food is fun.  About 15 years ago, I was a gallerist faced with the challenge of creating a curriculum for day camp that would teach children concepts & techniques employed in abstract painting.  Again & again we found that painting with berries was the biggest success.  It bypassed brush skills which are a challenge for kids under 6, and it relieved parents’ worries about the toxicity of paint.  And of course, teaching other people’s children to play with their food is always fun, ha.  This Call is all about painting, but using berries isn’t required.  Take a look…
