Nancy, ditto what Dwight said about this being a great idea! There is a town arts list similar to TownTalk called TownArts, but I think there are only like 30 subscribers and I have no idea how many are actually performers/artists. The Gateway Arts District put out an artists directory, which includes maybe 10 or so artists from Riverdale Park. I've tried very minor efforts at outreach, but most folks seem to be a) to busy to think it's worthwhile; b) not computer savvy or into the online thing; c) hard to reach. I think maybe the first place to start would be to put together a directory of artists/performers and contact them about this (as well as inquire whether they know other artists/performers). I'm happy to take the lead on this--feel free to e-mail me (ignore the dashes m-m-o-l-i-n-o-5-4-at-h-o-t-m-a-i-l-dot-c-o-m). Happy Holidays! -marc molino
