RED and GREEN

My cooking could be kindly described as abstract. As long as I get the flavor profile correct, I tend not to care if it actually looks like the textbook dish. That results in a lot of brown food for some reason. Maybe it is my love of of dark vinegars and mushrooms. Who knows. This next Call is looking for your abstractions. Don’t miss it this chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mother Earth

Posted on June 24, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

the
HEART-BEET
of health

I am convinced that food is the future of health care. I don’t really fit the stereotype of a patchouli-wearing, dread-locked Mother Earth worshiper. But as I age, I find myself turning away from traditional medicine and turning toward food remedies. All I can say is that it is working for me, and it has added a whole new air of importance to the food I already so dearly love. This next Call wants your take on Mother Earth. May I suggest beets?

Check out this Call for Entries from ArtAscent (online) for Mother Earth, their 2nd Int’l Art Competition. If you haven’t figured it out, hard copy art publication is being replaced by online art magazines. You can’t beat ’em, so I suggest you join them. Make careful decisions just like you would about a gallery. Don’t forget, you can enter for only $15…

Posted on April 3, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

CALIFORNIA
dreaming?

I was out of town this week, and traveling makes eating out necessary. But, I was trying to behave so I’ll fit back into my Spring clothes again soon. At one restaurant, I ordered a California Chicken Salad which included mixed greens, mandarin oranges, dried cranberries, blue cheese, candied pecans, croutons, grilled chicken and balsamic vinaigrette. Mine was sans the blue cheese & pecans, but I am still wondering what made it Californian. The oranges? I still don’t know. Check out this next Call with a name that references place, but it isn’t really the theme. Interesting…

So, I’ve been out of town without my husband. That’s mean’s I have consumed huge amounts of shellfish. He’s allergic, and when he’s not around, I tend to over indulge.

I seem to have lost the ability to properly cook chicken. I’m still spot on with fish, but chicken and beef are a lost art for me.

MOMMIE

I’ve never been accused of being overly maternal. However, my kid will be 14 years old soon, so I must have done something right. He now eats brussel sprouts and asparagus. Another point in my favor–well, OUR favor. It was actually my husband that spent the first 12 years of our kid’s life being the more maternal one. To hell with gender roles. Whatever works is my motto. This next Call wants your slant on being a woman. Approx. 52% of you should have a bird’s eye view of this one…

My fantasy meal changes. Some days, mac ‘n’ cheese and moon pies take the cake. But on days like today, I would kill for a dozen wine-steamed mussels with garlic butter and fresh parsley.

This next Call IS all about the fantasy of it all. Investigate…

I recently reclaimed my kitchen. Lately, the time I spend outside of my home office, art and music studios is greatly reduced, and now I handle almost ALL of the cooking again.

CALL to ACTION: Empty Bowls

Posted on January 29, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

SOUP
for every season

I talk a lot about food. I take food for granted. I have been in some pretty horrible financial situations over the years, but I always knew that there would be a next meal for me and my family. Not everyone has that luxury. So, while I blather on about the pros and cons of of reducing dairy in my diet, there ARE people in my community, and yours, that wish whether or not they have dairy was their CHOICE. This next Call is artistic in nature, related to food, and may be one of the hardest Calls to get you to follow through. Please investigate…

Check out the Call to Action known as Empty Bowls. Many of you get upset at the never ending requests that you, as an artist, receive to donate your work to some non-profit or the other. Here’s your chance to be a part of creating an event that makes a difference in YOUR community in a way that YOU can control. Please just take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL to ACTION: Empty Bowls, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL to ACTION:
Empty Bowls

Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger and was created by The Imagine Render Group.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: The basic premise is simple: Potters and other craftspeople, educators and others work with the community to create handcrafted bowls. Guests are invited to a simple meal of soup and bread.

DEADLINE: On-going as long as someone in your community is hungry

SALES: In exchange for a cash donation, guests are asked to keep a bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. The money raised is donated to an organization working to end hunger and food insecurity.

It is the collective genius of all the people involved that has made Empty Bowls what it has become. Events have now taken place across the United States and in at least a dozen other countries. Many millions of dollars have been raised and donated to hunger-fighting organizations. We could never have imagined all the things people have done or all the ways the project has touched people.

Each individual or group organizing an event designs it around the needs of their own community and is responsible for their own event. We ask that all such events are called Empty Bowls so that the idea can continue to spread.

Please make your event inclusive, insist that it maintain a high level of integrity, include an educational component to raise awareness, and give the money raised to an organization helping to feed people in need.

The largest hunger-relief organization in the United States, Feeding America, reports that the nation’s food banks could soon be overwhelmed by demand. Statistics show that 1 out of 8 Americans struggle with food insecurity every day. Millions of people have lost their jobs during the most recent recession and the number of food stamp recipients has increased dramatically. Your help is needed now more than ever.
