Connie.....
Tear up the letter and envelope into teeny
weenie pieces, jump up and down on it
until you feel better then sweep it into the trash
and never think about it again.
I just delivered an 8 place setting dish set
to our local auction for the arts. This year
they are giving the artists a % of the sale
which is a vast improvement over last year.
HOWEVER.... I did get an invitation in the mail
for the dinner.... a check for $80 is expected
with the rsvp........ I think not.... I'm not going!
I'm doing this because the people running it
are very good customers of mine and it's
good marketing for me.
Have a great time with Bacia

Subject: Donations - just got this in the mail and can't believe it.
I know the donation conversation is sort of over, but I just got this in the
mail and just don't quite know what to think - well actually, flabbergasted
is a good word.
It's from a theater company doing a fundraiser (for student playwrights) and
they're asking artists in about 12 different mediums to submit a piece to be
auctioned at their "event" which includes "great food, cocktails and art."
They want a 4"x6" or larger photo or "nice" digital image of the piece or
similar work and they will notify the artist if they're SELECTED to have
their piece in the fundraiser. ?????? (They want your donation only if it's
a good one.)
They are also looking for 3 to 5 artists to create their work on site
(between 6p.m and 7:30 p.m.) so it can be auctioned that night at the live
auction at 7:30. The artists they want are those working in ceramics, fiber,
glass, graphics and printmaking, jewelry, metalworks, mixed media, painting,
photography, sculpture, wood and computer generated art. Now really, start
to finished product in 90 minutes??
Have you ever heard of donations being juried?? This letter just kind of
made me hopping mad.
Ok, done with rant.
