I think it's always preferable to give people the option of participating out of their own free choice. I believe this is especially true when dealing with artists, who tend to be rebellious by nature.

I felt that if adequete funds could be raised on a voluntary basis there would be a chance to avoid upset and animosity. Also I think that if people are paying for membership there would be much greater expectations for more thorough critiques and feedback.
