    Kim, I don't think that people are not applying to the show. If you
    look at the website, it says that more than 1,000 artists applied. I
    was talking to someone who lends art objects from overseas to the
    Smithsonian on occasion and I said that I'd applied several times.
    He knew some people on the committee which selects the jury and
    mentioned that they want to have good attendance and prefer to have
    recognized artists in the show. The Washington Craft Show and the
    ACC shows (at least the Baltimore and Charlotte, N.C. shows which
    I've attended) often have many of the same artists as the
    Smithsonian show does. I think that it's just the way that these top
    level shows select the participants. It's interesting to walk the
    isles at these shows and notice how many attending are wearing
    something by one of the exhibitors.
