Really, is anyone shocked this place is No. 1? Well, if you are, you really shouldn’t be. This Northern California city was head and shoulders above the rest in the creativity department, particularly in performing arts, where it ranked No. 1 in the nation.
But the stellar scores don’t stop there. This place also had the most art schools, the most music stores and teachers, and the most galleries per capita.
Most telling of all, the 14th most people here worked in an artistically creative industry. So no matter what sort of creative career or lifestyle you’re involved in, San Francisco and its really innovative locals can definitely cater to your needs.
