"I am sorry to inform you but your application has been unsuccessful etc.etc." Yes , you've guessed – another proposal for an art work has been turned down. Now I do feel miffed at this because I had spent the best part of a week filling in forms – only to get an email telling me I had been rejected. Oh yes the organiser tried to cushion the blow " we have had so many applications …such a high standard" .
OK so my art friends keep telling me that this is par for the course and you have got to learn to accept it and for every ten applications you put in you will be lucky if one gets accepted.
This strikes me as a bit of a rum business…especially when I can put work up on the net without going through all these layers of protocol.
Only today I got a video posted in response to one I did on sheep-shearing – from a designer in Finland!
