I will travel for FOOD, will you?

If you could have any food you want for your next meal, what would it be? My favorite foods list is a moving target, but my dream foods list is dwindling. I find that more and more, I just want an authentic meal… dim sum in Hong Kong, ceviche in Peru, pho in Vietnam. Let’s go. This next Call is my stateside art dream– the National Portrait Gallery. Do you have a portrait to submit? Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Opulent Mobility 2017

Posted on June 28, 2017June 27, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

FLORAL notes

I don’t stock saffron in my pantry. As much as I love the opulence & indulgence of a saffron-scented paella, the truth is that I get more mileage from luscious fats like unfiltered olive oil or nutty sesame oil. I can only punctuate my menus with such an elaborate spice on occasion, but I use oils in every dish. Opulence is user-defined & experiential, and this next Call wants your vision of the opulent. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from curator A. Laura Brody for Opulent Mobility 2017. $20 Entry, no commission & a unique curatorial theme. We love the work of curator A. Laura Brody so much that we featured her many years ago. Stretch your creative muscles with this Call!

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Artist Grant

cold & cheap
ROOTS

I am grateful for the apples, but I am missing fresh local veggies already. My local orchard serves as my farmers market most weeks. With their cold storage program, I can get local apples for most of the year, but the veggies they offer are limited as of November. Aside from winter squash, the only thing LOCALLY fresh I’ll have until spring are potatoes, onions and maybe a hot house bell pepper or two. My normal $25 farmers market budget will be too much for a change. This Call is a great use for the extra $. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: $1000 Grant / Purchase Award

Posted on October 20, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

sweet
EATS

My grocery bill is absurd. I’m not having dinners of foie gras & truffles. In fact, most of our meals are vegetable laden. I try to stop by the farmers market at my local apple orchard. This week, it was $25 for apples, onions, 4 sweet potatoes, 3 bell peppers & 2 eggplant. As you might imagine, I then proceeded to spend a fortune at the grocery store to supplement my farmers market finds. I have a family of only three people + my four-legged child. I buy in-season, cost-conscious items. I consider myself a master food shopper, and I can barely hang on to a healthy menu. How are people without access to locally-grown produce options supposed to avoid eating processed food? The economics of hunger are devastating. This next Call is an excellent use of YOUR $25. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from WorkingArtist.org for the $1000 Working Artist Grant/Art Purchase Award. This may very well be the simplest process for the biggest possible return. $25 Entry. Don’t miss this one…

CALL for ENTRIES: Activate Market Street

Posted on August 4, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

table for 3500
PLEASE

I’ve had a few jobs and a few careers. One that I loved more than most was as a Downtown Development Director. I believed in the tiny town; I believe in urban renewal in rural locations (pop. 3500). Alas, my time there was shortened to a mere 3 years. I’ve never admitted this before, but part of my impatience with the development process was my inability to attract new, exciting food opportunities. Really. This next Call is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of making ART the answer. Please investigate this FANTASTIC opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Gallery Aferro (Newark, NJ) and RBH Group for Activate: Market Street. This is a very inexpensive ($5 US) opportunity to truly get public art exposure. So cool…

SHUCK and
GRIN

Let’s talk about frozen corn. I have heard all the arguments about frozen vegetable being the next best thing to fresh. But what I want to know, is WHY would any restaurant serve frozen corn on the cob during the time when in-season fresh corn is cheaper than frozen? Are we really too lazy to shuck corn, folks? Really? Please don’t be too lazy to enter this show from a state that knows a lot about corn. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Low Road Gallery (Greencastle, IN) for their 4th Annual Juried Show. The entry fee is only $10. I know some of you are still missing an Indiana show on your resume. Investigate this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Collectors Choice

Posted on September 11, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

TWO, FOUR, SIX
and ATE

I collect food-specific dishes. Weird, I know. I have ceramic turtles for wasabi, three-legged lava rock bowls for salsa, futuristic pods for olives, individual berry bowls, and there will be more. (Maybe these egg cups). Always the proper tool for the job, you could say. This next Call is really ALL about the collectors. See if this one is right for you…

Here’s an interesting Call for Entries from the Sylvia White Gallery in Ventura, California for the 2013 Collectors’ Choice. I am intrigued, this is a great opportunity for a few of you, but the challenge is in figuring out if YOUR work is something this anonymous group of collectors want. Investigate for your self…

CALL for ENTRIES:
2013 Collectors’ Choice

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists 18+

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

DEADLINE: November 15, 2012 at 11:00 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST) / Midnight, Mountain Standard Time (MST)

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 2013 Collector’s Choice January 2-February 9, at Sylvia White Gallery.

SALES: Unless otherwise specified, accepted works will be considered for sale at the price indicated and 30% commission will be retained by The Sylvia White Gallery.

CALL for ENTRIES: Across, Between & Through

Posted on October 24, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CARROT SOUP,
anyone?

I am always amazed by how a simple ingredient can be transformed into a magnificent dish. Root vegetables are the perfect example. Who would of thought that something that spent most of the time it has existed under the ground could be transformed into something beautiful, warm and nutty? I think of a luscious crock of roasted carrot soup with a hint of ginger and nutmeg. This Call wants you to contemplate transformation. Give it a try…

Check out this Call for Entries for TRANS: Across, Between and Through in the Clayton Staples Gallery at Witchita State University (Witchita, KS). You’ve gotta love art shows meant to make a comment on art itself. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
TRANS: Across, Between & Through

The concept of ‘trans’ seems to be a significant influence in the postmodern art world—where borders, dialogues, discourses and meanings have become increasingly unstable and negotiable. How have these changes and instabilities been documented in contemporary art and design practices? How does contemporary art engage with issues of transformation, translocation, and other ‘trans’ issues pertinent to identity, culture, politics, aesthetics, and everyday life?

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists.

MEDIA: All media, including photography, painting, sculpture, printmaking, performance, new media, video and emerging media.

DEADLINE:
November 10, 2011

NOTIFICATION:
November 15, 2011

ENTRY FEE: $40 flat fee for the submission of up to five images of works.

AWARD: First, Second and Third Place will be decided by the Juror. Three cash prizes will be awarded: $300 for First Place, $200 for Second Place, and $100 for Third Place.

CALL for ENTRIES: Verge Art Miami Beach

I love Cuban food. The first time I ate Cuban food was in a strip mall in Goose Creek, SC just outside Charleston …no kidding. With a strong military influence in the area before the shut down of the military base and the naval yard, international influence on food was pretty common. The best Cuban food I ever tasted was in Miami and is responsible for my love affair with plaintains. This next Call offers you an opportunity to sample some of the best food in the world during your time at this opening…
