scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: Correspondence in this subseries consists largely of inquiries from prospective artists hoping to exhibit at Art Space and the gallery's responses. Earlier inquiries from the 1970s-1984 include some scattered resumes, printed material, and slides of artwork. Later files beginning in 1985 tend to contain only inquiry letters and the gallery's response. 

Beginning in 1987 artist inquiries are often not accompanied by the gallery's response and may only be annotated with a note indicating that a letter of rejection or a "non local" letter was sent to the artist in response. From 1987 on files may also include letters from earlier years but were filed in 1987 because this is when slides kept on file were returned to the artist.
