Rejection is often hard to take in the art community, but there is a silver lining. An artist recently expressed her frustration at being turned down over and over again for a solo show of her work. She had submitted proposals to university and public galleries, and arts organizations with gallery space for more than a year. The artist failed to realize that her work in her successful show related to a highly charged topic, and one that would appeal to many gallery visitors, while her current work doesn't connect with people emotionally. Difficult call, but we must paint for our specific audience!
