Dear L. P. Skeen,

I am wondering why an organisation, which states it's aim is to create
equality, would wish to fund this by organising an exhibition with a
divisive entrance criteria?
Now this which I have written above may be incorrect. I wrote it with the
assumption that the equality mentioned in your title meant equality between
male and female and the word Domestic may mean "United States".

Regards,

Bob Hollis (Ireland)

Prolly since it's an exhibition about equality for WOMEN, in conjunction
with WOMEN'S herstory month, it makes sense for WOMEN to make the art. I
have NO affiliation with the gallery or exhibit, I merely forwarded the
information for interested parties. I did wonder though, if paperCLAY would
be allowed.....
