Ask the possible new members for an intro so you can get to know them too. Your group may want to set up mentors for the new members as it can be difficult to break into some groups. Be sure to let them know new ideas are welcome.
Don't forget local colleges (art departments) and local business chambers to get the event in the spot light.
Thanks. We are within a few miles of a college. I had thought about their continuing ed department (they teach a few sewing classes) but hadn't thought of the art department.
I do plan to stress to members to make sure each guest is individually talked to.
