Dear fine art organisations - accuse a fee!

I know why fine art organisations exercise non furnish feedback on selection. 

• Far also many entries together with far also niggling time. 
• There is absolutely no agency that 100% of entries are going to larn feedback on why they didn't larn chosen.

However, what I don't sympathize is why organisations which, inwards general, nation they are supportive together with encouraging inwards relation to emerging together with immature artists exercise non notice some agency to furnish feedback.

For event - they could

• charge a realistic fee for the fourth dimension required for somebody to review an artwork together with highlight some of the reasons why it did non brand the cutting - via email.  
• differentiate fee costs yesteryear age. For event such a fee powerfulness differentiate between:
• emerging artists nether 30
• artists aged 30+

Such a fee could be

• designed to hold upward income-generating i.e. providing the organisation alongside income if artists were prepared to contribute feedback for free
• self-financing i.e. sufficient to pay somebody to accept fourth dimension out from their normal locomote to furnish feedback.

Just a thought!  However yous already create got competition......
