Explore the art that could’ve been. “I regret to inform you…” is commonly used in rejection letters sent to artists after submitting to exhibitions, calls, and public art opportunities. This exhibition highlights rejected public art proposals that were dreamed up by artists but were not selected to move forward. For every public art piece that you pass by, there were probably two to four others that never came to fruition. This exhibition is about those pieces–the art that never happened.

"In that way, it is more about helping people to understand the art world and less about sour grapes. It is a gift that turns a bad moment into a generous contribution — and makes for a compelling exhibition." - Denver Post review
"I Regret to Inform You also clarifies the sense of community between public artists. Instead of cutthroat competition, those working in this field often express a sense of solidarity." - Southwest Contemporary review
