Check out : www.paducaharts.com , see about program, see about paducah, arts & culture,healing arts.

Not that I recomend going there since it's the buckle of the bible belt! But in terms of Best practices , this could be created & enhanced in your urban community. Re-zoning art districts live/work, creative financing for ownership , developing city property for this burpose, for artist & other incubator businesses!

oh yea check out:
