art districts
Gallery-filled urban zones
Art districts are urban areas designated or recognized for their concentration of galleries, studios, theaters, and creative businesses.
Cities often establish official art districts to attract cultural tourism and revitalize neglected neighborhoods: The old warehouse area became the city's art district.
The term can describe organic clustering of artists or formal zoning designations with tax incentives.
