How To Travel The United States And Visit The Country’s Best Small Art Scenes

Introduction

If you want to get a more in-depth look at the United States, there’s no better way than traveling from state to state and discovering its small art scenes. In this article, I’ll tell you all about the best small-town art scenes across America. From Pennsylvania Dutch Country to Pacific Northwest Coastline, these cities will give you an authentic taste of American culture with their unique culinary delights and artistic masterpieces.

Mid-Atlantic Region

The Mid-Atlantic region is home to the nation’s capital, Washington D.C., which is also one of the most historic cities in America. The region is full of museums and galleries that showcase works by some famous artists, including Andy Warhol and Alexander Calder. The area has many universities where you can learn about art history or even take classes on how to paint yourself!

There are several annual festivals held throughout this area as well (like Festival International de Louisiane), so you’ll never run out of things to do while visiting here!

North New England

If you’re looking for a small art scene with a big name, head to Portland, Maine. The city is home to several major museums and galleries that showcase the works of local and international artists.

For example, the Portland Museum of Art (PMA) houses one of the largest collections of American art in New England–with works by Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol and more on display inside its walls. The museum also hosts special events throughout the year like outdoor screenings and lectures from notable artists such as Chuck Close or William Wegman who speak about their work as well as what inspires them today.

If PMA sounds too stuffy for your tastes then check out another option: The Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland where admission is free every day except Friday nights when they charge $5 per person after 6pm due to increased security measures put in place after 9/11 attacks occurred back in 2001.”

New Jersey

New Jersey is a state that’s often overlooked by travelers, but there’s plenty to see and do here. You can start with Hoboken, a city full of art galleries, museums and restaurants. Then head over to New Brunswick where you’ll find historic sites like Rutgers University and Johnson Park Zoo. If you’re looking for more culture than nature, try Camden or Trenton–both offer plenty of galleries for both local artists as well as international ones who have come through town on tour!

Upstate New York

Upstate New York is a gorgeous, diverse region that offers a variety of art scenes to explore. The Finger Lakes Region is known for its wineries and vineyards, while the Catskills are known for their waterfalls and hiking trails. If you’re looking for something more urban, check out Syracuse or Rochester–both cities have thriving arts scenes that rival those found in larger metropolitan areas like New York City or Chicago.

The Adirondacks offer an opportunity to experience nature at its most pristine: this mountainous area is home to some of America’s most breathtaking views and natural wonders (and some great hikes). Central New York is where many artists choose to live because it offers them access to two major cities within driving distance (Syracuse and Albany) without sacrificing any small town charm; Western New York has plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation as well as museums galore!

Pennsylvania Dutch Country

Pennsylvania Dutch Country is a region filled with Amish communities, Dutch food and culture, and outdoor activities.

It’s also home to some of the country’s best small art scenes.

Pacific Northwest

The Pacific Northwest is home to some of the best small art scenes in America. There are plenty of big cities and major tourist attractions, but if you want to see what makes this region so special, look beyond Seattle or Portland (though they’re great places too).

There’s something for everyone here: art lovers should head south to San Francisco; nature lovers will love Yosemite National Park; history buffs should head east to Monterey Bay or west toward Vancouver Island; foodies can’t miss out on Portland or Seattle–or any other city along their coastlines!

Southwest USA

If you’re looking for a place to visit where the art scene is booming, consider heading west. The Southwest US has some of the country’s best small art scenes–and it’s also home to some of the most stunning scenery and delicious food in America.

The Southwest US is home to some of our country’s most iconic landscapes: red rock formations, deep canyons, and desert landscapes can be found throughout this region. That natural beauty translates into an artistic community that values its surroundings over everything else–the result being that many artists choose to live here because they want their work reflected by these natural wonders (and vice versa).

If you’re interested in checking out some great museums or galleries but aren’t sure where exactly they are located within this vast area, don’t worry! We’ve created a map below showing all five cities where we recommend spending time exploring local arts scenes.*

Rocky Mountains and Plains States

This region is home to some of the most remarkable art scenes in America. From museums like the Clyfford Still Museum and the National Museum of Wildlife Art to artist communities like Santa Fe, New Mexico and Taos, New Mexico–this area has it all.

If you’re looking for a taste of cowboy culture while visiting this region then check out Wyoming’s Cody or Montana’s Bozeman where there are plenty of rodeos and country music festivals happening throughout the year.

California Coastline and Wine Country

The California Coastline and Wine Country are two of the most popular destinations in America. The state has no shortage of beautiful beaches, rugged mountains, and wine country vineyards that attract millions of tourists each year.

San Francisco is one of those cities you can’t miss if you’re traveling through California. It’s known for its eclectic neighborhoods (like Chinatown), cutting-edge restaurants (the Mission District), world-class museums (the SFMOMA) and more than 1,000 parks–including Golden Gate Park! And if all this wasn’t enough to keep you busy during your stay there are also plenty national parks nearby including Muir Woods National Monument where you can hike among giant redwoods trees or visit Point Reyes National Seashore where there are herds of bison roaming around freely!
