cultural renaissance
Flourishing of arts
A cultural renaissance is a period of renewed flourishing in arts, ideas, and intellectual life—often after decline or stagnation.
The term borrows from the European Renaissance but applies broadly: The neighborhood experienced a cultural renaissance as galleries and theaters opened.
It suggests not just revival but creative energy and fresh achievement.
