Here is the most recent rejection letter, a generic (my name is not mentioned) letter they sent out to the masses.
-----------------------------------
Thank you for your application to the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Art Acquisition by Application Program. There were a total of 700 works submitted for consideration, received from 172 artists across the province.

I regret to inform you that the work you submitted for this deadline was not selected for acquisition.

Yours sincerely,
Erin M..............

Here is ome of the rejected imagery and people they did not want to add to the collection. I let the people in the dump down again, did not get their stories seen and told. I failed them again. They will continue to be the forgotton people of South East Asia.
