Dear Mr. Campello,Thank you very much for sending us your resume and images for consideration in our 2019-2020 exhibition schedule. The committee was pleased to learn about you and view your work. Unfortunately, we are unable to exhibit your work at this time.There were close to three hundred applications and only five available slots this year. We thought that many of the applicants this year would show well in our gallery, and as you can imagine, it was very difficult to limit our choices.We wish you the best of luck with your artistic endeavors and thank you again for your interest in our program.Sincerely,Jeanne Bracy--Jeanne BracyGallery CuratorThe University Galleries,Merion Hall and Boland HallSaint Joseph's University5600 City Ave.Philadelphia, PA 19131
