    Personally, I'm a little surprised to read this. I haven't yet
    applied to the Rosen show, but had thought it was a juried show -
    meaning that a jury reviews the slides and picks those artists whose
    work they feel meets the requirements, is interesting, and sometimes
    new and fresh ideas are nice thing to include in a show. This doesn't
    make sense to me. Why are people sending in slides for an application
    if it's run like this? 

    I'd like more information on this because my concern is "why bother
    applying" if they only accept new artists if an older artist gives
    up their spot. For some reason, I can't see this being the actual
    case. Plus, from a buyer's perspective, I would think they would
    welcome new artists with fresh ideas - along with the established
    artist. I thought the show was based on the quality of an artist's
    work, not seniority. Granted, I'm sure the work there is outstanding,
    but I've also seen work from new artist's that was also outstanding. 

    I'd like to hear more on this (hopefully from those that run the
    show), because I'm having a hard time believing this is how it's run
    - although I could very well be wrong. But I hope not.
