book as a guide to revitalized communities
Americans and Canadians are facing similar problems when it comes to the question of how can we all reconnect with the idealistic notion of becoming living, breathing members of fully functional communities. In other words, how can we stop being so darn mall-based in our places of living. This book's third edition can be an extremely useful guide for anyone who wants to find a revitalized, functioning place to call home. Obviously, all of these 100 communities have something extra-special about their arts scenes...be that great galleries, restored performing arts venues, vibrant nightclubs or festivals showcasing top-shelf arts and giving artists a leg-up when it comes to making a living from their work. I've traveled to most of these towns personally...and I write a travel column about arts-based traveling for The Santa Fe New Mexican, the daily newspaper in my hometown. To me, it seems as if smalltown North America is in the midst of a humongous arts explosion...something unprecedented in our history...and something that had in the not-too-distant past been a phenomenon confined to urban areas. I hope this book goes a long way toward proving that great artists and arts events, both in the visual and performing arts, are flourishing across the continent. And...I hope this book serves as an encouragement for many more artists looking to escape the urban madness of Philadelphia, Chicago L.A., N.Y. and elsewhere...as well as the arts-savvy individuals who want to find a great new place to live...a place that supports the arts and artists. Gracias!
