BULLSHIT PART III – TIMELINE
TIMELINE: – January 11, 2007 Received Arts Night Solicitation letter in the mail The term ‘volunteer jury’ is used in the letter twice and the term ‘jury process’ is used once. This was CLEARLY a juried exhibit, by jurors, not a selection comittee. – March 16, 2007 Received rejection letter in the mail The rejection […]

BULLSHIT PART II
The proof is in the pudding. In Hoffman’s letter below he ‘claims’ they ‘considered’ releasing the names. That’s an interesting LIE, since on March 20, 2007 Merhib sent me this email saying those names wouldn’t be released: From: DMerhib@WashingtonPavilion.org Subject: RE: Arts Night Rejection Date: March 20, 2007 4:19:27 PM CDT To: fb.art@sio.midco.net Scott, As […]

CAN YOU SAY ‘BULLSHIT’?
The Washington Pavilion responded to my letter (if you scroll down you can read what I sent to them originally in an earlier post). I will respond to this in length tommorrow, but a couple of quick things I want to point out: 1) I have never asked the Argus to be involved 2) This […]

ONE LAST ATTEMPT
This was a letter that was sent to the Washington Pavilion’s Visual Art Director on Monday. I am assuming he received it on Tuesday. I have not heard a response of any kind yet, but I will keep you posted:  Mr. Merhib, I’m going to make one last attempt in requesting the names of […]

SPIN CYCLE
I decided to pull up the original letter that was published in the Argus Leader about Arts Night to see if I was off base in any way with my claims. Let’s review what I wrote: “It seems the Washington Pavilion Arts Night Committee is taking a page from SculptureWalk when it comes to selecting […]

ROUND 4 or 5 WITH THE WASHINGTON PAVILION
 I’ve lost track after the personal attacks from Paul Schiller, James Mathis and Micheal Williamson. I find it funny that only one employee, the Public Relations Director, defended the Big Purple Building, even if he didn’t tell people he worked there, I’ll give him credit (it’s kind of his job). Besides Joy Crane I […]

I GUESS FOR PAUL SCHILLER PROMOTING THE ARTS IN SIOUX FALLS MEANS PROMOTING HIMSELF.
Conflicts of interest can cast doubt on art shows By Joy E. Crane Sioux Falls Published: June 28, 2007 – ARGUS LEADER I read the letter from James Mathis in which he portrays Scott Ehrisman’s earlier letter as a personal attack against Paul Schiller. I think Ehrisman is frustrated with secrecy and also has a […]

SAD
So far we have had an unethical board member, his BFF, an anonymous public relations director/employee and a high school student defend the Pavilion’s Arts Night. Oh, and a misquoting, establishment loving arts reporter. Seems the well is gonna run dry here pretty soon, then what? The juror’s names might be released? I couldn’t agree […]
