Well it wouldn't have surprised me if there was a lack of applications. This show is off my 'go to' list unless there are artists I want to visit with.
hmmmm???? This is the show that I mentioned in my post about extended deadlines. The Paypal button was not working so Debbie had to leave the application process open to gather jury fees for previously entered applications. As long as it was open it made sense to give everyone else an added week.
...ditto...hmmmmmm...
Hmmmmmmm.
