The article you created on Duluth Art Institute was borderline. Two things swung it:
 * 1) No independent references
 * 2) The last paragraph: "You can find more details on exhibitions, workshops, classes, and activities for the Duluth Art Institute on their website www.duluthartinstitute.org" Unquestionably promotional and not in keeping with wikipedia guidelines on tone.
