    With respect, this seems to have been left out of some of the
    consideration in responses to the original post. The artist did
    attempt, more than once, to obtain an application. The deadline, for
    some reason, was not clear in this situation. She was sent the
    incorrect material. It seems to be one great big mix-up. 

    Leaving the "be in the hands-on section and make the best of it"
    factor out of the equation, what is the solution when an artist's
    application is just screwed up for whatever reason. I have seen at
    least one person get declined from a show because her application was
    "misplaced" for a while. Lets not forget that this is someone's
    livelihood. The artist is not doing it for fun, it's her career.
    Losing out on 2 to 4k in January could really mess up her finances.
    Personally, I would have called every five minutes or so until I had
    the correct application in my hands, but that's just me. Obviously,
    it would not be fair to the other artists in the show if the
    everything was rejuried, but is there, perhaps, any other solution
    that might be fair to everyone involved? Maybe I'm just looking thru
    my rose-colored glasses again. 

    Best of luck to the artist, I hope things work out for you in the
    long run 

Best Regards,
