Well, even on a smaller level, I love the idea that this might bring in some
people from the art community that so far don't quite know who we are, don't
understand what we do, or are just too intimidated/uncertain/whatever. I've
thought many times about how to reach out to that crowd and get more of them
involved, but the answer is clearly buried in this thread -- we need to make
out art apparent to them so they will seek us out. At least, that's my take
on it.
