cultural hub
Creative community focal
A cultural hub is a place—city, neighborhood, or institution—where artistic, intellectual, and creative activity concentrates and thrives.
New York, Paris, and Tokyo function as cultural hubs, attracting artists, performers, and audiences.
On a smaller scale, a museum or arts district can serve as a cultural hub for its community: The renovated warehouse district has become the city's cultural hub.
