If there is a need to put on arty things then do them in the appropriate venue with the right kind of publicity beforehand. We have a wonderful Town Hall that would be perfect for exhibitions or craft type things. Hold antique and Curio fairs......something that is one step up from the flea market.

I don't mind buskers...they are individual. Like the chap who plays foot tapping music in the centre of Manchester........I like the pavement artists....again can be seen in Manchester...their skill is amazing.
None of this is contrived, and it costs what the passer by is willing to give
Agree- a Flashmob will i reckon drive people home.
