You can find shows without entry fees, though. A good source is Art Calendar magazine. They have a website with an extensive call for entries listing, including a section of shows without entry fees: http://orders.artcalendar.com/adlisting/index.asp?EntryFee=0Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04302872722375370724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575922.post-26836319218205501592010-05-04T15:02:54.356-05:002010-05-04T15:02:54.356-05:00The worst is when you pay to enter shows (usually ...The worst is when you pay to enter shows (usually $35 each) that you don't get into.

I try to keep that in mind when that rejection comes in the mail a week after I query someone. <BR/><BR/>It's those "I'd like to see more" letters that twist my stomach into painful knots. The waiting, waiting, waiting part that lasts forever. Do they like it? Do they hate it? Did they even get the damn thing?<BR/><BR/>In one recent case, an agent didn't receive my package. If she hadn't sought me out first I likely wouldn't have sent an email to make sure she got it. I'd still be waiting, fostering ulcers and high blood pressure :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
