The 100 Best Art Towns in America: A Guide to Galleries, Museums, Festivals, Lodging and Dining, Fourth Edition
Do small and medium size communities intrigue you? Are you the type of person who believes there's a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow? Can you envision yourself someday living in a arts-supportive community where there's only one coffeeshop selling decaf lattes?
From Maine's lobster shacks to LaJolla's fish taco stands, the North American continent is home to hundreds of tiny towns and small cities where the arts are flourishing. And if you assume that small town art looks like a smiling teddy bear sitting in a miniature rocking chair, and sounds like a barbershop quartet harmonizing underneath a Victorian gazebo, then you're either watching too much television or you're not traveling enough. The reality of small town and small city art scenes in the 21st century is one of surprising strength, vivid diversity, sophisticated expression, and impressive talent. Whether your interests are in the visual arts, contemporary theatre, modern dance, classical music, Shakespeare under the stars, or outdoor art festivals where small town streets are lined with artists' booths, there's an astonishing arts transformation taking place in communities the mainstream art world considers too far off the beaten path.
Author John Villani guides you down those pathways and opens the doorways to a C-note's worth of those places in this all-new 4th edition of The 100 Best Art Towns in America. Here's where you'll discover an exceptional contemporary art museum in eastern North Dakota, a Mississippi shrine to one of America's most gifted ceramists, a decommissioned military base in Washington State that's been converted into a short-term residency center for painters, poets, and authors, and a coastal community is South Carolina where a compact business district has become home to more than a dozen art galleries.
With each passing year Americans are becoming better informed about the arts and understand the importance of supporting the arts whether they're in downtown storefront galleries, on stages erected in neighborhood parks, or sprawled across the linoleum floors of elementary school classrooms. Discover for yourself the creativity flourishing in 100 of those communities in the pages of this Art Towns travel guide.
