A wall for local artists

Hang a local artist's work for a month and hold a small opening: the artist brings their own crowd.

Steps

Pick a wall and write a short note with the artist: dates, hanging, insurance and how any sales work.
Let the artist set prices and handle sales unless you both agree otherwise in writing.
Hold a one-hour opening on a quiet evening and ask the artist to invite their circle.
Change artists on a set schedule so regulars always find something new.

People at the opening, and new faces that week.

Open earlier or later one day a week for four weeks and let the count tell you whether to keep it.

Take an old item in for credit toward a new one, and pass the old ones to a local cause.

Bring last season's stock outside for one well-announced day and let people browse from the street.
