"Phantom Galleries" a temporary solution to unsightly empty storefronts and a forum in which artists receive exposure. Your thoughts?

“Phantom Galleries” is a concept that has been used in many communities affected by Economic Downturn, in which normally vacant empty store windows are used to display work by Local Artists. Thereby counter-acting the “ghost-town” look created by a number of un-used business locations and providing exposure for artists hoping to have more people SEE their work- and possibly make some sales. Also, it can make the property itself stand out more to potential clients.

Does YOUR community already have something like this? OR- can you see such a program being implemented where you live?
