And an email rejection... two for one today

"July 7, 2006

Dear Suzanne Clements,

Thank you very much for sending us your website link to your portfolio of work, which was presented to our selection committee at a recent meeting.

After carefully evaluating your material, we feel that we cannot offer you an exhibition slot at this time. This is no reflection on the quality of your portfolio. Rather, it is our assessment of what will provide the best balance of local and national art

If you should develop a new body of work that you would like us to consider, please feel free to re-submit.

Thank you for your portfolio submission to our gallery.

Sincerely,

The folks in charge"

I actually don't even remember applying to this one so it must have been a good while back. Email inquiries actually get fewer responses than snail mail. I think many galleries have email addresses, but either don't check them often enough, or ignore them altogether.
