CALL for ENTRIES: Order & Chaos

Posted on November 1, 2016October 31, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

PAPER or plastic?

Do you prefer boxes or bags in your pantry? I like the structure of boxed pasta, beans & cereal, but I love the price of most things bagged. I prefer not to store things in plastic, but I’m not convinced the process used to create cardboard is any better. I own a lot of glass which inevitably involves breakage and the energy consumption involved in cleaning and/or sterilization. It can be difficult to distinguish the order from the chaos, but this Call offers us a second change. Give it a shot…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Fred Parker Giles Gallery at EKU (Richmond, KY) for Order & Chaos exhibit. $30 Entry & a great academic gallery opportunity. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: International Photo Exhibit

Posted on August 19, 2011August 20, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

A BAKER’S DOZEN

I appreciate simple food. Somedays there is nothing more comforting than a roasted chicken; however, I am baffled by the new wave of “5 ingredient” cookbooks. I appreciate that sometimes you only HAVE five ingredients. But a whole cookbook of 5 ingredient dishes? I use olive oil, garlic, parsley and cracked black pepper in almost everything…that only leaves me one additional ingredient. How about giving me 12 ingredients? Take a 12 layer dip to the opening of the exhibit in this next Call. Just a subtle pun…

When living in Mexico, Dr. Pizzardi became firmly convinced that Art is a vehicle for social change, so she organized artistic events within the framework of cultural interchanges with other countries, including Brazil, Colombia, Finland, France, Guatemala, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay and the United States. She has participated for years as a juror in competitions and artistic events organized by CNN, the Red Cross Art Auction and Juannio, Latin American Masters’ Auction.

Amalia is the Founder and Director of the art gallery “The Gallery Art & Design,” dedicated principally to Latin American art on the vanguard, which has had a presence in Mexico, Italy and the United States; participating in international art fairs such as ArtMiami y MiArt in Milan. She is also the Founder and President of “Colors of Life,” a non-profit that organizes each year an International Photo Competition to support various charitable causes.

AWARDS: Cash and prizes up to $1000 will be awarded solely at the discretion of the exhibition juror. Recognition of work by Dr. Pizzardi may also be designated to the extent she deems appropriate. These designations may not include a cash prize. Also, 12 12 Gallery Director, Martin McFadden, will award a Director’s Choice Award.
