    True, but therein lies the problem. The Exhibition in Print curators
    and jurors chosen by the Editorial Advisory Committee of SNAG seem
    always to share a preference and propensity for the more avant garde,
    if that's the right term. I say this with all due sour grapes, since
    I was part of a team whose proposal for the 2005 EiP was not chosen
    :-). The result is that all the EiP issues seem, at least to me, to
    lean in the same direction conceptually. As others have pointed out,
    however, there does need to be a forum for such work.  On the other
    hand, many of us who are SNAG members make more traditional, or
    rather, less avant garde pieces.  Is it unreasonable for us to have
    more equal representation in Metalsmith which is, after all, SNAG's
    public face?
