Hello!  Welcome!
Sorry for my later answer but here it is.
The Art Gnome list is this, gnome-them-list.  If you want, you can join to  art.gnome.org  and/or  gnome-look.org,  both works with icons, themes, and so, for Gnome.
About the list's name...  it does reflect the purpose of the list.  There's icons and icons themes, themes for metacity and gtk, gdm themes and so on.  A pack of something  (icons, sounds, etc)  is called theme.  Hope it clear you sight.

I read your points and thankfully acknowledge them, as i agree with them already ;)

My original message was a little bit ambiguous.. my concern was that interface design exceeds implementing icons and themes to the extent, that themes do not integrate WMs yet. Themes are written for WMs but they do not contain scripts to launch them in their respective WM.

If Art is the title of the community, Art deserves to have its own ML, IMO. Art can strongly intersect with interaction design, this is why i made my original point.

Adding WM-launching code like e.g. "mutter --replace --theme=YOURTHEME.tar" would make theming what this list's name in context of the community it tries to represent suggests it already did.
