This summer, American Style magazine will issue its list of the top small cities for arts in America:

Coming in first will be Santa Fe, New Mexico, population 72,000. As the magazine notes:
"It may be the number one small town on our readers’ list, but Santa Fe is anything but small when it comes to the arts. The area in and around Canyon Road boasts nearly 50 galleries alone, housed in authentic, restored adobe buildings in an effort that garnered a nod from the American Planning Association, which named it one of the 10 Great Streets for 2007."
Perhaps the most important of all Santa Fe's museums is the one dedicated to the work of Georgia O'Keefe. One of the greatest artists of the 20th century, O'Keefe re-located to Santa Fe in 1949 and lived and worked there until her death in 1986. Today, her museum hosts visitors from around the world.
This is just another example of a mid-sized American city that is famous throughout the world.
