Looks like from this side of the fence it might be a prime place to
meet and interact with businesses (such as gallery owners and simply
owners out on a stroll with art on their minds) who would know that
your project is an option.
Right now most (if not all) of these businesses and /artists/, who
might be interested in getting involved on some levels, don't even /
know/ about your project... at least none that I hang out around...
and given the fact that 0x0000 is an insider with Arts on the River an
even better bet that an involvement will get a good amount of
attention.
