[artshow_photo] A moral dilemma for a show director

A moral dilemma for a show director

no names

A show has a rule that no reps are allowed. A sculptor wasn't allowed
in because last year he sent a relative while he did another show.
This year he was not accepted and told it was because he had sent
someone else with his work the year before. Personally I feel that's
like locking the barn door after the horse has already escaped. From
my point of view, he should have been denied admission on the year he
wasn't there, or the rep made to pack up and not be able to sell.
Then he should have been told that he could do the show again if he
were there personally. That would be fair but that's another story.

There was another booth at the same show this year without the artist
present. The artist always does the show sending reps while doing
other shows on the same weekend. When the committee was asked about
it, they said it was because this artist always gives a large piece
for the auction in exchange for being able to send reps and the show
has made a lot of money from the sale of this artist's work.
