William: Actually, a young artist I know, who does not have gallery representation, was approached by the Whitney and asked to submit her work. So she did, but didn’t hear anything. So she called the curator back, and the curator said, “Oh, I’m really sorry, I didn’t realize when I asked you to submit that you didn’t have a gallery, because we rely on the galleries to fund these projects.” My friend said, “You’re telling me that I have to have a gallery if I want to be part of this program?” and she’s like, “Yeah, that’s how it’s works.” And this particular artist did not want to have a gallery.
