At least they were nice about it:
Dear Artist,
On behalf of the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, I would like to thank you for applying to our Artist-in-Residence program. We received a record number of applications due to the ease of the online application and the jurors' task was a difficult one. Our jurors were Endi Poskovic, an alumni of the residency program and associate professor of art at the University of Michigan, Christopher Cook of the Salina Art Center and Matthias Harder of the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin.
Unfortunately, your application was not among those selected for a residency at this time. Please note that a new jury panel composed of different art professionals is selected for each application cycle. Many artists have applied more than once before being selected as an Artist-in-Residence. For this reason, we earnestly encourage you to reapply.
Our next application deadline is September 30, 2010 for the July through December 2011 residency cycle. You will find the link to the online application on our website at www.bemiscenter.org, which includes the latest news and updates from the Bemis Center.
We are proud to announce that next year the Bemis Center will be adding more studios and increasing the amount of artists we serve each year from 24 to 36. In these uncertain economic times we feel that the need to support artists is more important than ever.
Thank you for considering the Bemis Center’s Artist-in-Residence program. We wish you every success and truly appreciate your interest in the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts.
Sincerely,
--
