CALL for ENTRIES: Holga & More – Out of Box

Posted on May 21, 2015May 21, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

PASTA
for you & me

I try not to eat boxed food. During some previous food sermon, I’m sure I have expounded on my quest for a diet comprised of whole foods, locally sourced and preferably organic. But, I fall short–everyday. I do the best I can as I am sure you do, but convenience foods are aptly named. Sometimes convenience in necessary. GF pasta and flour are not items I am willing to tackle as whole foods projects at this point. This next Call is an excellent reason to get our of your artistic box. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from TCC Photo for Holga & More – Out of the Box, an int’l photo competition. Not Holga restricted; even SLR/DSLR users can qualify. Investigate…

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…

CALL for ENTRIES: Light & Shadow

a day in the SUN

Gardening is a fine balance of light & shadow. Bok choi will grow in as little as two hours of sun per day, but many varieties of beans love full sun. Tender, baby lettuces can be grown in the shadow of climbing plants like those sun-loving beans. It is all an art of balance. This next Call wants YOUR best light & shadow. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Humans vs. Nature

Posted on April 22, 2015April 22, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

to MEAT or
not to MEAT

I am not currently a vegetarian, but I think I could be without that much difficulty. It is a personal choice that I have examined over the years. As Jon & I head toward a more agrarian lifestyle, I recognize that I am unwilling to take the life of an animal living on my farm (chickens, rabbits & goats). Instead, I leave that job to my husband who has less of a debate with it than I do. Does that mean I should not be willing to eat them–since I couldn’t kill them? This is my current philosophical internal dialogue. These animals offer my family the best way to get protein, but the chickens & goats can produce protein in the form of eggs & milk without it resulting in their demise. Should we choose NOT to kill them? I know both sides of the argument. Do I choose not to eat it if I cannot kill it? The war of human versus nature rages in my mind as it does in this next Call from F-Stop. Take a look & offer your best…

BANANAS

I watched soap operas before I could talk. More accurately, my mother used to put me in my high chair and turn on The Doctors while she enjoyed her lunch. One day it came to an abrupt stop. Apparently engrossed in an overly-dramatic subplot, my mother neglected to notice I had fallen asleep and face-planted in my peanut-butter-topped-bananas. Since then, anytime my mother even see a commercial for a soap opera, the portrait of me covered in pb&b conjures guilt. This next Call wants your portraits; the food is optional. Love this…

HERO

What would we do without the iconic dishes that make up the safety net? You know the ones…everyone likes some version of it. They tend to be my “go to” meals on nights when I have to plan in advance. Since I don’t know what anyone will be in the mood for, I hit the highlights. Tonight is spaghetti night. No matter who is coming, I can cover vegetarian, vegan & gluten-free if need be. This Call is all about iconic art categories. Please investigate this one. If you work in 2-D, there is probably a way to make this work for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art of Brands (a new AAAD sponsor) for Iconic Images. There is no entry fee, and this could be a great way to earn money from your art. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: So many of you have talked to me about selling your work w/o being bogged down running a gallery or about art fairs or gallery representation. I know you often leave the conversation not feeling like nothing is accessible. I like THIS opportunity. If you work in 2-D, don’t dismiss this Call. Some of you might consider simply doing what you already do but direct some content to suit this purpose. It won’t be for everyone, but I think it is a valid option for a lot of you.

Art of Brands is just beginning to fill out their categories, so be sure to let them know if you have work that you think might fit but isn’t currently represented.
