Eat Me!
Feb 28 – April 28, 2012
Opening Reception: Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Artwork submission dates: Friday & Saturday, February 24 & 25, 2012

“Soon her eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table: she opened it, and found in it a very small cake, on which the words 'EAT ME' were beautifully marked in currants.” Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll

Food informs so much of our daily life, and has long provided a source of inspiration for artists. If indeed we do we first eat with our eyes, then what better way to explore what food means to us than through art. In Eat Me! artists are invited to explore the world of food – from still life paintings to explorations of our relationships with food as a society. What does food mean to you?

Work is invited in all mediums. All work must be for sale and have been completed in the last two years. This show is open to CAL members and non-members. All work must be WIRED – we cannot hang work that does not have a wire. Artists should also make sure that their name is on the work. Artists may submit two works for consideration. Jury fees illustration(per person, not per work) are $15 for members and $25 for non-members. Download the inventory sheet (Word).

As an extra element to the show, local chefs will be invited to choose a work as an inspiration for a tapas-style dish for a special evening event, Let Them Eat Art! See more about Let Them Eat Art!, which takes place Thursday, April 5, 2012, from 6-9pm at the CAL Gallery.

 


Blue
May 1 - June 23, 2012
Opening Reception: Thursday, May 3, 2012
Artwork submission dates: Friday & Saturday, April 27 & 28, 2012

“Artists can color the sky red because they know it's blue. Those of us who aren't artists must color things the way they really are or people might think we're stupid.” Jules Feiffer, cartoonist.

Following on from the success of 2011’s ‘Red’ show, this year we invite artists to explore ‘Blue’. Said to be the color of the fifth chakra (the throat), blue runs the gamut of emotion, representing sadness to some and the optimism of blue skies to others. Politically it flip-flops: liberal in the US, conservative in the UK and Canada. What does it evoke to you? Whether it’s an artwork inspired by the cobalt, ultramarine or cerulean in the color box, or it’s a feeling or memory invoked semantically, in ‘Blue’ artists are invited to explore the realm of, well, blue.
