Ah. One more thing that I have been wanting to ask about, since lurking and
reading all about those pesky show fees. Here's one for ya:
A certain show in these parts requires an application fee for the jurying of
$15. OK. Fair enough. But here's the twist: To be considered for jurying, is
a REQUIRED $150 deposit. This check is Cashed immediately, and then if you
don't get into the show, 4 months later, a check is written to you and
sent with your slides and notice of "sorry, but...". They've had all our
money for several months, interest free. Is this legal? Does this happen
elsewhere? Ms. Rosen, what do you think of this practice? Thanks in advance.
Also, see pictures of woodfired kilns on my website-in-progress:
www.cpmg.com/anagama. I think the "train" kiln sounds like Carter's kiln in
Napa. Let me know what y'all think. Love, Bonita in San Francisco.

yes it happens... don't know about the legality or if its common practice
throughout the country, but here in Florida its more often than not that the
jury fee and show fee are required to be sent at the same time along with
your apllication... Marie Elaine

The Viriginia Beach Art Show collects a $200. fee (booth fee) up front with
your application and if you don't get in Months later you get the "Sorry"
letter.

Up here in Washington, one of the shows I've gone to for several years
finally decided to
have the artists send in jury fee and booth fee at the same time. I was
shocked, but I could
understand since they're pretty laid back about when people pay(Some even
paid on the day of).
They held onto my check for a couple of months-never cashed it-until I
called to see if I was in
the show.
There are several shows up here aside from the one I just mentioned that
required booth fee with
jury fee when you apply, heck alot of times I never have the money up front.

Carol - Do you get the $200 back with the "sorry" letter?

Once again, if you do not support these shows they will eventually stop this
practice. Sounds like they are using the artists and I would have nothing to
do with it.
I was just rejected from the Yellow Springs Show here in Pa (:>( )and had my
jury fee returned. If they can be organized enough to do it, why can't other
shows?

One year I applied for the Virginia Beach show and received a "rejection"
form letter which included a paragraph explaining I would receive my entry
fee back shortly. Three months later they sent me their check. They had my
money for over 6 months!

The Virigina Beach Boardwalk show requires the $200. booth fee when you apply
and it is cashed. When you get your "sorry" letter the money is sent back,
but they have sat on it all that time.
