> To Greater Boston Area Artists,
> I emailed the Boston Art Windows on Sept 8th, I introduced myself  
> and told them about my work, and I explained that I would love to  
> participate in the Boston Art Windows Call for Artists, but  
> considering the time & money involved in a) creating a proposal, b)  
> purchasing materials and c) installing the show, without a stipend  
> of some sort, the exposure is not worth the time and money  
> invested. Well I received no response, but I found out from a  
> friend that the number of artists who submitted proposals for the  
> original deadline, Sept 13th were too few. Now they are resending  
> this call to artists, with a deadline of Oct 13th, hoping to get  
> more artists to participate.
>
> As time permits, Boston Area Artists, lets email Jeremy Rosenberger  
> (the organizer of the event)  
> jeremy.rosenberger.bra at cityofboston.gov and tell him that artist  
> selected for this event should get paid a stipend for their work,  
> for their investment in time and in materials, and tell the city of  
> Boston that we are professionals who provide a valuable service to  
> the city of Boston which is not by any means free.

> Thank you
