In American small towns, arts-centered activities are serving as an important growth stimulus for both declining downtowns and the surrounding countryside. By refurbishing older educational, cultural and industrial buildings to host artists and art participants, these towns have increased export base activities, prompted import substitution, and helped to attract and retain artists as residents. Arts and cultural centers often act as anchor tenants in main street revitalization. In some rural settings, artists’ retreats have brought income and spending to nearby communities and helped to showcase their retirement potential. A number of relatively inexpensive policies can be adopted by states to foster artistic development in rural areas.
