  • Arts towns, also called arts cities, art towns or art cities, are cities or towns that are dedicated to and recognized as having art as a central feature to their cultural identity. Arts towns generate a good portion of their economy, their existence, and their tourism from establishing a culture of the arts. By definition, a disproportionately large number of the citizens in these towns are involved in the arts. Santa Fe, in New Mexico, is an example of an arts city in the United States, with over 5,000 artists living within city limits, year round arts events, art institutions including 10 museums and 100 galleries, as well as classes, educational seminars, and conferences. Further towns of art, as the Europeans designate them, include such internationally famous cities such as Florence, in Tuscany, Italy, the heritage home of renaissance art and of Michelangelo and Leonardo. The term similarly is used for centers for arts festivals like Tanglewood or such small towns as Nelsonville, Ohio, that have dedicated themselves to an artistic identity based on traditional ceramics and folk-art centered on an arts oriented town square.

  • Città d'arte sono le città che sono dedicate e riconosciute come aventi l'arte come un elemento centrale della loro identità culturale. Le città d'arte generano una buona parte della loro economia attraverso il turismo culturale. Le città d'arte possono avere un considerevole numero di residenti attivi nel campo artistico-culturale, o per lo meno averli avuti nel passato. Santa Fe (Nuovo Messico) è un esempio di una città d'arte, con oltre 5.000 artisti che vivono entro i limiti della città, eventi artistici tutto l'anno, istituzioni artistiche tra cui 10 musei e 100 gallerie, così come corsi, seminari didattici e conferenze. Tra le città d'arte europee si possono citare Firenze, culla dell'arte del Rinascimento, o centri per festival artistici come Tanglewood o Spoleto; o così piccole città come Nelsonville (Ohio), che si sono dedicate ad un'identità artistica basata su ceramica tradizionale e arte popolare, incentrate su una piazza della città orientata all'arte.
