CALL for ART: Gifts of Art

Posted on May 14, 2018May 14, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

one EGG or two?

Simplicity can be a gift. Sometimes what I want to eat has less to do with a craving and more to do with the ease of preparation. When I’ve had a productive day, a drawn-out night of cooking weighs me down. Sometimes an egg sandwich is just an egg sandwich; sometimes an egg sandwich is a gift. This next Call see the transformative effect of art on our reparative health as a gift. Take a look…

et tu, Brute?

Anchovy paste is a standard item in my pantry, but it’s because I have a Caesar salad addiction. Otherwise, I don’t know a single person that eats anchovies outside of my family. Then, I was sitting in a pizza joint in Hendersonville, NC when I heard someone say, “I’m here for the anchovy, black olive pie.” See, I am not alone –never alone. There are benefits to being alone at times though. This next Call is the perfect opportunity to go solo. Don’t miss this chance…

CALL for PROPOSALS: Curatorial 2019

Posted on November 28, 2016November 28, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

NUTTY bravery

Sometimes you just have to jump in and try. Wary of a new food? Hold your nose and stick out your tongue–it just takes a few seconds of bravery. This is how I learned that I hate pistachios and love goat cheese. By trying them. This Call will be the same idea for many of you. Fifteen dollars, five images and a clear vision of your project in written form. That’s all it takes. Maybe it is time to take the leap from local shows to national shows, from national to international shows, from juried to self-curated. You can do it. I know you can. If you need help, message me. Believe in you; I do…

one TOMATO
two TOMATO
three TOMATO four

Tomatoes, tomatoes everywhere. It is THAT time of the year. The Farmers Market is awash with overly ripe tomatoes at rock bottom prices. When they are less than $1 a pound, I have such a hard not taking them home. We’ve taken to having snacks of sliced tomatoes, tomato sandwiches and marinated tomatoes. They are the stars of their own solo show at our house. This next Call offers you a solo show too, just not in my house. Take a look…

CALL for PROPOSALS: Solo Show Opportunity

DINNER FOR ONE
and one alone

I don’t share well. I don’t share anything well, but food is the worst. I am not proud of it. Maybe it is an only child thing. I can logically know that a dish will be too much for me, but I will still not agree to share instead. If I agree to a lets-get-one-of-each-and-share deal, we have to quite literally cut them in half upon arrival & exchange the halves. Otherwise I spend the meal obsessing about whether or not my husband will eat more than his half. I fall short of counting french fries–but just barely. So, my submission to this next Call will likely be a solo one (although my better self sometimes triumphs); however, you are welcome to contemplate sharing. Take a look…

CALL for ARTISTS: 2015 Adirondacks

Posted on October 12, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

CHICKEN
of beef

I am queen of menu planning. Every once in a while I decide to off planning for just winging it. Well, that never lasts. Now that we are planning for a farm of our own, I am considering the idea of buying protein for the entire year from a local rancher–like a whole cow. The challenge would be to space out the protein so we are not forced to eat eggs only for the last 3 months of the year. I suspect it will end in a lessened consumption of meat, but we’ll see. This next Call is not unlike menu planning for a year at the time. Please DO NOT MISS this chance…

PLUM
crazy

Nectarines, peaches & plums are back in season, and I am so excited. The peaches and nectarines aren’t quite ripe, but I like fruit a little under-ripe. Weird, I know. But the plums are divine and perfect and beautiful all by them selves. I don’t have plums AND anything. Just plums. Art exhibits, like plums, are fantastic all on their own. This next Call gives you the opportunity to show all on your own. Take a look…

CHEESE
off the old block

Cheese food is not cheese. You’re allowed to like American cheese; feel free. But, don’t take comfort in the idea that you are eating a natural cheese. It is manufactured from milk, whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, saturated oils; emulsifiers, salt & artificial coloring–and that’s assuming you aren’t consuming a diet variety. Think of it this way…if the cheese can’t stand alone, then maybe it shouldn’t have the spotlight in any of your meals. This next Call is looking for a big cheese (or six) to put in the spotlight. Are you a big cheese?

Check out this Call for Entries from Penn State Altoona (Altoona, PA) for the Ivyside Juried Art Competition for solo shows at the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts. The entry fee is only $10 for up to 24 images. This is a great academic opportunity at a really low price!
