Nice Rejection Today

I got a nice rejection note from a major gallery, one of the top 3 museums in Canada, probably number 2 , the Art Gallery of Ontario. Oh well at least they viewed the stuff, its part of the process of getting your photos known. I am happy they were polite enough to acknowledge the work and reply with a polite, email. I will submit to the AGO again next year and the year after and the year after, until the work of the future is shown. Hopefully someone there will occasionally check out the blog and keep an eye on things.

Dear …….
Thank you for your patience while we reviewed your two exhibition proposals, Families of the Dump and Body Sellers, The Sex Workers of Thailand, to be shown at the Art Gallery of Ontario.

We have determined that our current programming schedule and priorities prevent us from taking on either project. Therefore, we regret to inform you that your proposals have been declined.
  
Thank you again for considering our involvement with your project. We appreciate your time and effort and wish you the best in the future.

Sincerely,
……. …….
Director, Exhibitions
