    Well, Jeanne, there are shows that do just that, so the bias does
    exist.  And I have come across show applications that specifically
    state that they do not accept cast work for jury review.  

    IMO it is the show's organziation / promoter's choice regarding what
    they allow; though I may disagree with some of the choices, it's
    *their* show. If you (general you) don't like it, don't apply for /
    do that show.  But what really drives me nuts is when they state
    that all items must be handmade, and two booths down from me is a a
    set-up which *obviously* has imported work that the "artist" selling
    has not made!
