Letter to the Editor: A! Magazine Story solved Dilemma

July 17, 2007


Dear A! Magazine,

Thank you so much for the timely article on the jurying process for the"From These Hills" exhibition [at the William King Regional Arts Center inAbingdon].

I am a member of the Wide Angle Photo Club in Pensacola, FL. We just hadour annual show juried yesterday and out of 795 photo entries only 300 werechosen due to space limitations. We had several members expressdisappointment when they weren't chosen and saying it was unfair.

While I tried to decide how best to address these issues without making itsound personal or biased, I Googled "the jurying process" -- your articlecame up and was the best answer to solve my dilemma.

Thank you for a way to educate our club members who may have never entereda juried show before and need to develop a "thick skin" since it is also anopinion as well as the quality of work.

Sincerely,

Cindy Schober
