Apparently messages sent from my work account don't make it onto the list.
I'll have to talk with Keith.

Anyway, I wrote an elaborate message that basically said that I don't think
we're big enough in terms of space and in terms of people willing to work
to do a good art show and I'd rather not do a bad one.

We can't be all things to all people so it is better to specialize in what
we can do well.

I thought that what we did last year with having an art exhibit worked
well.  But we certainly can do Erica's idea of an artist collaborative in
the dealers' room where they could display (and sell) art.
