Try playing in an art gallery; my first few shows were in that sort of environment and the audiences were receptive and there was a much lower-pressure vibe about the whole thing. Galleries are still my favorite venues to play in. See if there is an art event happening in your area and see if you can provide music for such a thing. Art openings, etc. If what you do isn't rock-oriented (which it sounds like you're not), that type of environment can be really cool to play in. If you're wide open, there are a lot of cool venues to be utilized, not just clubs and bars.
