RE: [artshow_photo] A moral dilemma for a show director

Hi Larry,

Another moral dilemma is sharing important info such as this without naming
the show. Given the impact it may have on the decision to apply for every
member of the list, I for one would appreciate the whole story.

Regards...Peter

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.
