CRABBY
about winter

I am dreaming of a June picnic in the park. I want crab salad on a beautiful buttery croissant, a bright spinach salad and a large glass of lemonade. But that will have to wait. Any picnic in the park right now would involve mittens and down bubble coats. This next Call could be the perfect chance for my picnicking dreams. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for ArtPark 2013 (Columbia, MD). There is NO ENTRY FEE, and this is one of the lowest price art festivals that I have every seen. Maryland is beautiful in June, by the way…

REMINDER: Open Call at Flow

Posted on November 6, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

A Season for…
everything

The featured food at my house this week is Jona Gold apples ($.89/lb). Last month is was asparagus ($1.99/lb). This whole month it has been apples, partly because of our proximity to an orchard, and partly due to price. We’re heading toward Winter, and I’ll be eating $1 butternut squash for at least 2 months. It is all about eating what’s in season. It is cheaper, healthier, and yummier. Think of it as a seasonal treat. This next Call is all about the upcoming season, and it’s a treat too! Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for 2013 Exhibitions from Flow Art Space (Minneapolis, MN). Great news…NO COMMISSION, no really. This is a rare opportunity in a fairly new gallery. The deadline is just around the corner…

RACE YOU
to the party

I plan a Kentucky Derby party each year, well, abstractly speaking. The party never actually happens, but my intentions are always good. I dream of andouille sausage with black-eyed peas and lobster with truffle oil. But in the end, I remember that mint juleps don’t require a party and excuse myself from the planning. I recommend a small amount of planning for the next Call, at least abstractly…

CALL for ENTRIES: Lines into Shapes

Posted on July 14, 2011July 14, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FORGIVE ME, please

I think in food cliches. People like me are the reason pumpkin pie candles are sold scores of people longing for fall. And, when I think of Colorado, I think of hot chocolate after skiing. Hot chocolate after skiing is lovely, but Colorado is home to some of the finest restaurants in the US. They deserve more consideration that my cliched hot chocolate. I apologize. This next Call is from Colorado; maybe there will be hot chocolate at the reception.

PRETTY PlEASE

Food marks most of the special occasions in my life from birthdays and vacations to weddings and anniversaries. Some of you are aware that my husband Jon and I sing together as the Pea Pickin’ Hearts, and food often makes our gigs memorable too. One of my favorite gigs includes the Spring & Fall Gatherings at the Cliff Dwellers Gallery, where we sing on the front porch and are rewarded with a pea-themed lunch. This next Call is a perfect fit for the ladies of the Cliff Dwellers, and hopefully it will be a fit for you too…
