Got the latest in a long line of rejections form the grant and art and acquisition people. This one is a province based rejection. Did not even make it to the second round again.
---------------------------
Thank you for your application to the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Art Acquisition by Application Program.
An expert panel, comprised of members from the Alberta arts community, has assessed your submission. We regret to inform you that the work you submitted for this deadline was not selected for acquisition.
There were 598 artworks submitted to this deadline and 72 works were selected for in-person viewing.
We appreciate your interest in the programs offered by the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and encourage you to apply at the next available deadline, which is April 1, 2021.
----------------------
I feel very disappointed, these lives, these stories will yet again be forgotten. I let my subjects down as I have done many times in the past. I guess the EXPERTS feel the lives, the stories, of Woo-Wee-Kai and Nui-Ooh are not worth remembering.
The money from the sales of the prints, would have gone back to the subjects. That will not happen now. Let them down again. I wish I was a better photographer, and could tell their stories with more heart, feeling, power. I do the best I can, guess it is not enough.
